| The List |  | | Ashford Castle, Ireland | | With just 83 rooms in an 800-year-old fairytale castle, the innate grandeur of the Ashford Castle makes it one of the most charming hotels of Europe...a show of traditional Irish craftsmanship and interior design with spaces decked out in moss-green Connemara marble, glittering chandeliers, artworks and antiques. The castle also sits on the shore of Lough Corrib, so the landscape is just as Irish. | | | | |  | | Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa, Bath | | For this old-school retreat in the English countryside, the magic starts from the moment you drive down the mile-long avenue of lime and beech trees to the 1720 Georgian mansion. The Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa, once a stud farm, is a country-house hotel as classically British as they come, complete with a wood-paneled library of crinkly old books, an equestrian centre and a cooking school. | | | | |  | | Ett Hem, Stockholm | | When it first opened in 2012, the Ett Hem was a hotel experience unlike any other in the Swedish capital. It was a small townhouse big on luxury and design, and the interiors, with exquisite carpentry and arresting art everywhere, was flawless. Fast-forward to today and the hotel hasn’t lost any of its charm, making it a home away from home you may never want to leave. | | | | |  | | Schloss Fuschl, Salzburg | | Just a Mozart serenade away from the city of Salzburg, and overlooking Lake Fuschl, Schloss Fuschl is a hotel that has played host to many celebrities and royalty since 1450, when it was built as a hunting lodge. To this day, some of the original art and decor remains, including paintings from the 17th century, but a renovation in 2006 added contemporary furnishings and 21st-century amenities. | | | | |  | | Les Sources de Caudalie, Martillac | | Sitting amid the vineyards of a 600-year-old winery, Les Sources de Caudalie is everything you want in a wine country retreat. A rustic design of uneven oak beams and weathered pantiles, a wildflower-fringed pond that makes for a postcard perfect rural hamlet, and a spa with grape rituals and an outdoor “wine barrel” hot tub. The hotel is also home to a cellar with thousands of vintages by the château next door. | | | | | | | |  | | A new partnership | | Grand Luxury joins forces with Maison Pierre Frey to dress up its website | | |  | | Expo 2020 Dubai | | For the first time in history, a world fair is taking place in the UAE | | | |  | | Discover St Moritz | | Glamorous and old-school, it's the world's original winter playground | | | | | | |
