Hotel Café Royal, London

In the historic Hotel Café Royal situated between Mayfair and Soho, where Oscar Wilde and Princess Diana once spent their time, two famous chefs have found their place of work. As a three-star pastry chef and „best pastry chef in the world,“ Albert Adrìa serves the finest delicacies and champagne at Cakes&Bubbles looking out over Regent Street, while London Michelin-starred chef Alex Dilling realizes his vision with a modern interpretation of classic French cuisine in his first own restaurant with just 34 seats at the Hotel Café Royal. And as Big Ben clocks five at the Palace of Westminster, London’s elite gathers for afternoon tea in the historic Oscar Wilde Lounge. But it’s not just foodies who feel at home in the London icon, design fans also marvel at the rooms and suites designed by British star architect David Chipperfield. The legendary Dome Penthouse Suite dominates the skyline of Lower Regent Street and offers a unique view of the lights of Piccadilly Circus at night. And when the bustle of the city gets to be too much, the holistic Akasha Spa provides those seeking relaxation with much-needed time out.

Lutetia, Paris

What do French actress Isabelle Huppert and Pate trilogy director Francis Ford Copolla have in common? They both dedicated their own suite to the iconic Lutetia hotel in Paris and designed it themselves. As the only Grand Hotel on the left bank of the Seine and a landmark of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district of Paris, the Lutetia is one of the most famous Grand Hotels in France and a must-see, especially for design fans. Opened in 1910, the hotel presented a daring transition from Art Nouveau to the emerging Art Deco, whose charm captivated artists and writers such as Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, Samuel Beckett and James Joyce, who wrote his „Odysee“ here. And today, the Lutetia continues to inspire with its new design concept by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte. But the heart of the Grand Hotel for many is the Le Saint-Germain Café, with its historic glass roof, influenced by the colorful vision of artist Fabrice Hyber, under which city travelers enjoy Tea Time Rive Gauche by head pastry chef Nicolas Guercio. Those seeking relaxation will find an oasis in the middle of Paris at the 700-square-meter Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Spa, which features a 17-meter swimming pool and holistic wellness services.

Conservatorium, Amsterdam

Instead of sheet music, tuning forks and instruments, unique design concepts, Asian-inspired cuisine and relaxation await at the Conservatorium. Characterized by the romantic charm of the Dutch capital, the luxury hotel Conservatorium is located amidst cultural highlights such as the Van Gogh Museum, Concertgebouw, Rijksmuseum and Vondelpark. A cool clash of Dutch architect Daniel Knuttel’s landmark building and Milanese designer Piero Lissoni’s modern touch, the Conservatorium embodies its own unique design concept. Highlights include the brasserie, located in the glass courtyard with floor-to-ceiling windows, and the sophisticated Taiko Bar, which brings the flair of Asian nightlife to Europe. And on rainy days, a stroll through the hotel’s own shopping gallery or a visit to the Akasha Spa with gym, pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and hammam provide the perfect diversion.
