Surrounded by purple heather-covered mountains, Kenmare is one of the spots in Ireland that the Irish themselves like best. Sheen Falls Lodge is not only perfectly placed for exploring the southwest, the Ring of Beara, Ring of Kerry and the famous Killarney Lakes, but it is also known for its piano-jazz ambience, its collection of old Irish whiskeys, and the dishes prepared with the salmon caught in the nearby river. There are unrivalled views of Kenmare Bay, the McGuillicuddy Reeks and cascading Sheen waterfalls. All of this, combined with outstanding Irish hospitality and Celtic legends, creates a sense of magic that pervades.

Ivy-clad and golden-hued, The Bath Priory is a refined country house hotel nestled in four acres of tranquil grounds, just moments from the cultural treasures of Bath. Built in 1835 and steeped in Georgian charm, the former priory exudes warmth and elegance. Each room is named after a flower–Lilac, Heather, Hyacinth–and thoughtfully styled with a blend of antique furnishings and contemporary fabrics. Set discreetly behind a tree-lined residential street, it offers the rare experience of peaceful seclusion in a UNESCO World Heritage city. Sheltered by stone walls, the fragrant herb garden hints at the culinary delights to come, while the Garden Spa by L’OCCITANE promises the most restorative of returns. After a day exploring Roman baths and Georgian streets, indulge in afternoon tea among curated artworks in the lounge or unwind in a sanctuary   where calm, culture, and comfort converge.

Nestled in London's prestigious Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, The Chelsea Townhouse has created spacious rooms and suites across three neighboring redbrick Victorian properties. They are part of an identical enclave of buildings surrounding Cadogan Gardens, one of a small number of private parks in the capital normally only accessible by residents with a key. However, in a highly exclusive arrangement, the hotel’s Drawing Room and select suites offer guests direct access to the leafy gardens. Meticulously restored, the hotel seamlessly blends British charm with contemporary elegance. With marble fireplaces, gilded mirrors, old engravings, plush carpet, and eclectic juxtapositions–an Art Nouveau pedestal table paired with an Empire dressing table, say–the decor evokes a cozy and quirky British style, making the townhouse feel like a particularly high-end guest house. Under its high ceilings, large windows offer abundant natural light and views over the trees in the square. Chelsea's charms are not far beyond, with iconic shopping destinations including Sloane Street and The King’s Road just footsteps away, and a host of cultural attractions including the Saatchi Gallery, Buckingham Palace and the Natural History Museum close by. The service is as discreet as it is attentive, and with its blend of timeless charm, modern luxury, and access to London's finest attractions, The Chelsea Townhouse offers an unparalleled experience in the heart of the city.

Set on a 58-acre estate, The Torridon was once the hunting lodge of Earl William KingNoel. This Victorian mansion’s tall sash windows open out onto the deep blue of Loch Torridon and the breathtaking beauty of the Highlands, inviting you to explore the wonders of the surrounding nature. Inside, from the entrance hall to the Eilean Chasgaig Room–a dining room dedicated to Queen Victoria–you’ll feel an atmosphere of serenity and rustic elegance. This impression is enhanced by the patina of the wood-paneled library and the Whisky Bar, which boasts an extraordinary collection of single malts. The hotel’s few rooms and suites, spread across the main house and its former stables, combine traditional decor with touches of originality. At Restaurant 1887, Chef Danny Young serves creative Scottish cuisine that celebrates the richness of local produce and vegetables grown in the kitchen garden, just behind the house.
