British Countryside Chic
There have been a rash of British country houses given the designer makeover and reopened as chic boltholes for London's media crowd - and their children. It started with Babington House, with its heady mix of nostalgic country cow smells and bath oils...
French Chateaux Hotels
Stay in a grand castle or a more modest manor house; the great French chateaux hotels might be daunting, but there are some fine buildings run with a more relaxed style by their owners.
Intimate City Chic
Intimate, romantic, quirky, chic - these hotels are havens from the bustle of the city.
Rural Idylls
A tranquil stone farmhouse in the Tuscan hills, or a dreamily mellow Cotswold manor house? A polished boutique in the Cape winelands, or a grand colonial hacienda in the Argentine pampas? Pick your country hotel idyll.
Design Hotels
Travel Intelligence has an extremely strict selection policy for design hotels. We don't let a famous name or a pretty piece of sculptural furniture turn our heads - we believe that style should not outweigh substance and that service should always be a premium.
Romantic and Intimate
Many hotels claim to be romantic. Even more are in romantic locations. However, few achieve that intimate flickering candle effect, where bliss is to linger over the last of a (preferably starlit) meal with the knowledge that a cosy, womblike, bedroom awaits.
