El Lodge Ski & Spa in Granada, Spain – Small Luxury Hotels of the World

Eva (Spanish office) thinks that El Lodge in the Sierra Nevada is simply the best hotel.

Corinthia Hotel Prague in the Czech Republic – Corinthia Hotels

Bridget (Production) is an avid traveler and had to whittle down a list of nearly 20 hotels. When asked which of her hotels was her standout favourite she chose the Corinthia Hotel in Prague for the jazz music played in the lobby on the white grand piano, the food, and the amazing views of Prague from the swimming pool in the Apollo day spa on the 26th floor.

Hilton Molino Stucky Venice in Italy – Hilton Hotels & Resorts

Alison (Business Development) had a list of hotels that she loves, but top of the list had to be a Hilton hotel (she used to work for them!)

Al Bustan Palace in Muscat, Oman – a Ritz-Carlton Hotel

Damian (London office) voted for another exotic location with the Al Bustan Palace in Oman. 200 acres of beachfront location mean that guests can enjoy both mountain views and the glittering gulf. The 250 guest rooms in this renovated palace offer a luxury modern 5* experience.

Hotel Delfino in Sorrento, Italy

Patrick (Logistics) who has been to many of our hotel customers over the years chose the Delfino Hotel in Massa Lubrense primarily for the fantastic view from the cliff top over the gulf of Naples, but also because the customer service was excellent. The 4* hotel has 66 rooms.

Le Château de Curzay in France – Relais & Chateaux

Lilie (French office) remembers a romantic getaway to Le Château de Curzay in the Pays-de-la-Loire and uses this perfect excuse to name the hotel as her favourite.
