Europe Trip - torn between cities, advice needed.

Hi there,

This New Years, myself and my partner are planning a trip away for a few days. We are completely confused about where to go though. As this is a special occasion i want to splash out on a good hotel. I am hoping to spend up to €550 a night on a room. Paris was the obvious choice but for one of the "best" hotels we are talking €700 a night, plus we have been their twice already. We have been looking at the following cities - Venice, Florence, Rome, Madrid, Barcelona and possibly Monaco.

I would appreciate if i could get some recommendations on hotels. I have been looking at the most "renowned" hotels in each city but when i go to look at reviews on these hotels, they are always disappointing. I am looking for luxury, no cut corners... something really special with a prime location.

Also, as we are going in December it will be very cold in the cities mentioned, i am used to cold (from Dublin) but i am sure some of these cities are colder than others so it would be great if i could get some feedback on weather expectations and general atmosphere during December, i dont want it to be dead.

Thanks!!
