If you are looking for a hotel for a holiday or simply a night away, you may be tempted by those advertising themselves as luxury hotels. But this raises the question of what exactly that means. Whilst all luxury hotels will have their own unique features, there are some common things that truly make them a luxurious experience.
The design
Hotels are all designed differently, depending on their location, age, and culture. But for luxury hotels, whether they have a chic city vibe, are a rural retreat, luxury UK hotels, or those on tropical islands, will have unique design elements that will make them stand out from the crowd.
Whether the outside is opulent or unobtrusive, inside, you can expect something special. Expect communal spaces which are spacious, relaxing and exceptionally comfortable, outdoor spaces in beautiful surroundings, and bedrooms and suites with soft beds, marble en-suites, sophisticated décor, and space to sit and unwind.
The service
From the moment you arrive in Luxury UK hotels or those abroad, you will be well taken care of. The service is personalised and tailored to your needs. The hotel staff will be welcoming and available to help 24/7.
Food
Luxury hotels will often be known for their fine dining in lavish dining rooms, perhaps accompanied by live music. You can expect three-course meals cooked by top chefs and wine chosen by expert sommeliers. Breakfasts are likely to include a range of options, depending on where you are in the world. Luxury UK hotels will often provide both a full English breakfast and continental options of delicate pastries.
Dining at a luxury hotel does not have to be formal. There may also be more relaxed cafes and snack bars, all with top-quality food and service.
Unique features
Different hotels will have different facilities depending on their size. They may have swimming pools, spas, wellness centres, and state-of-the-art gyms. Luxury hotels with plenty of outdoor space may have tennis courts and outdoor pools.
Look also for the little luxuries added to the rooms, such as complimentary high-end toiletries or sumptuous bathrobes.
