All in Top 1% Hotels

Rome - Top 1% Hotels

Rome - the most incredible city in the universe. The capital of an ancient empire is also not short of grand hotels. It has palaces, private courtyards, rooftop terraces, hidden gardens, marble bathrooms, discreet entrances, and that particular Roman talent for making even the most ordinary afternoon feel theatrical.

On my recent trip to Rome, I visited — and in one case stayed at — several of the city’s most talked-about ultra-luxury hotels. Some are already Roman institutions. Some are newer arrivals trying to redefine the market. And a few are quietly doing something very special.

Doha - Top 1% Hotels

I traveled to Doha, Qatar this January to explore some of the city’s finest luxury accommodations, and was struck by how underrated it remains as a travel destination and how affordable said luxury hotels are. In the inevitable comparison to Dubai, Doha offers a calmer pace yet delivers the same hallmark of warm Arabian hospitality—while still preserving its deep-rooted culture and traditions.

Gstaad - Top 1% Hotels

Starting this year’s winter season in Gstaad with a hotel tour of the top 1% hotels in this pretty and quaint Swiss mountain village. It’s a wonderful time here right before Christmas with all the decorations, snow and cozy fire places in these amazing hotels. Even after the Festive Season you can expect the charm of Gstaad to take you over.

Geneva - Top 1% Hotels

Geneva, where the Rhône gracefully meets Lake Geneva, is a city synonymous with luxury and elegance. Recently, I embarked on a site inspection tour of four of its most prestigious hotels. Each offers a unique blend of style, service, and ambiance that caters to the most discerning travellers. Here’s my insider’s take on the Four Seasons Geneva, Mandarin Oriental Geneva, Ritz-Carlton Geneva, and The Woodward by Oetker Collection.

Bodrum - Top 1% Hotels

Nestled on the picturesque Aegean coast of Turkey, Bodrum has emerged as a premier destination for luxury travellers. This enchanting locale offers an exquisite blend of crystal-clear waters, interesting history, and opulent resorts that cater to discerning tastes.

During my recent visit, I explored five of Bodrum's top 1% hotels, each offering unique experiences and amenities. Here’s an insider’s guide to the best of Bodrum, from serene retreats to vibrant beach parties, and everything in between.
