When I travel I like to stay in first class hotels that are small. I want to feel like I am in a house NOT a commercial chain. So far, the hotels I can call my favorite are 1- Lancaster Paris (only 50 rooms) is pure luxury 2- Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons in Oxford (27 rooms) 3-Hotel Regency in Florence (33 rooms and close to alal the sites)4- SPlendido hotel in Portofino for the picturesque surroundings.

I stayed at The Connaught in London in the fall of 2001. I loved it because the ambience was really cosy and discreet. As I guest in one of their 66 rooms I felt like the staff really wanted to take care of me and help me with anything I needed. I will be going to London in the end of may and I will definitely stay there again.

the best hotels we stayed are:
brussels - metropole
antwerp - hilton (actually too expensive) or astrid park plaza or villa mozart (the last one is opposite the cathedral and there are a lot of restaurants in the neighborhood
paris - three star in first arrondissement, is the louvre st honore hotel...perfectly located
barcelona - hotel ambassador (with a pool on the roof)...
have a nice holiday...

Definitely Hotel Waldhaus in Sils/Engadine - Switzerland.
An old world charm hotel. A five star, but affordable IMO with familiar atmosphere, "Jugendstil" decorated, up on a hill overlooking the valley, surrounded by larch woods, gorgeous views of the lakes, mountains, glaciers and Fex valley. Perfect service and excellent food. I could sit all day round on the balcony and watch the scenery, but there is so much to do ... not to forget their reading room/library. You can still feel the spirit of famous guests like Thomas Mann, Herrmann Hesse, Bruno Walter etc.

The best hotels I have stayed in are actually not in europe. They are the raffles hotel in singapore, Oberoi in mumbai and my favorite the maha resort in dubai. As for Europe my favorite are meurice hotel in Paris. It is a luxury hotel that is very understated. I have also loved staying at the Lansborough hotel in London. It's location is great and the service is out of this world. We were even given our own butler that I could have gotten used to.
