Often steeped in history, legend and luxury, hotels often achieve ‘icon status’ thanks to prolific guest lists, Hollywood appearances, ground-breaking architecture or simply as being the setting for gossip shared around the water cooler. No matter how a hotel makes it onto the icon list however, these hotels have one thing in common: a global reputation for the outstanding. Discover some of the world’s most iconic stays here, from private islands in the Whitsundays to grand Parisian dames, and find out why these legendary hotels have made a name for themselves in all the right ways.
Nice relaxed ambiance.
Rooms are "compact" but comfortable but you most likely won't spend a lot of time in your room.
The really good part is, you don't need an engineering degre to navigate the lights, tv, curtains or shower and the room lighting in excellent.
This is another great value Luxury Escapes package.

Iconic Hotels in Bali
The Mulia, Nusa Dua
The Mulia is synonymous with Bali luxury. As one of Travel+Leisure’s top hotels in the world, The Mulia is a modern icon that takes beachfront opulence to new heights as it stretches along a one-kilometre length of Nusa Dua beachfront. The statue-lined Oasi Pool is arguably one of the most photographed in Asia; it’s also the longest infinity pool by the beach in Bali. There are enough dining options to please the fussiest foodie, including Table8, an acclaimed Chinese outlet named by TripAdvisor as in the top 1% of restaurants worldwide, an artisan patisserie and designer cake-maker perfect for your sweetest of desires.
2nd visit to Mulia Villas and it never disappoints.
Exceptional service from all staff, beautiful villa, cleanliness is exceptional, nothing is too much they all go out of their way to help. The restaurants are all fabulous, we always do LE as you get so many extras and it's definitely worth it. LOVE IT

Grand Hyatt Bali, Nusa Dua
Located on a sought-after shoreline in Bali, the Grand Hyatt Bali is one of the island’s most iconic family resorts. Watery wonders abound here: there are five swimming pools to splash and frolic about in, an ocean-themed kids’ club, and even a 50-metre waterslide. For the adults, expect balmy nights sipping tropical fizz at the beachfront Salsa Bar, playing rounds of billiards at the lively Lila Cita Tavern and savouring Nampu’s fresh sushi and cooked teppanyaki style.
We loved everything the Grand Hyatt Bali had to offer. The all inclusive package was amazing. The staff, the facilities, the location, we loved it all. Thank you Luxury Escapes for organizing such a memorable and special trip.

Iconic Hotels in Australia
Bannisters Pavilion, Shoalhaven
Celebrated British chef Rick Stein has only two restaurants in Australia: one is at Bannisters Pavilion. (The other is Bannisters Port Stephens further north on the NSW coast). The restaurant is one of the only of Stein’s outposts, excluding his diners in the UK, where diners can feast on his signature seafood dishes while looking out across the ocean where some of the ingredients have been sourced. Making a reservation for lunch or dinner is a must for guests who, while awaiting their seating, can take advantage of the hotel’s other facilities: a sunbed-fringed rooftop swimming pool, close proximity to Mollymook beach and rooms that channel a cool, laidback coastal aesthetic.
Intercontinental Hayman Island Resort, Hayman Island
Welcome to your very own private island resort: InterContinental Hayman Island Resort, where the tall palms sway, the margaritas flow and the UNESCO-listed Great Barrier Reef is just on the horizon. The island, originally purchased in 1947 by aviation pioneer Reginald Ansett, was intended as a winter resort destination and across its near 80-year history has seen multiple refurbishments, renovations and even a cyclone. It’s place among Australia’s most iconic hotels has never wavered though. Now, this Whitsundays treasure cements its status even more with world-class amenities, stellar dining options and water adventures of all sorts, from private catamaran cruises to some of the most vivid snorkelling discoveries in all the country.
Excellent customer service. Great food. Room and view was awesome.

Hydro Majestic, Blue Mountains
The heritage Hydro Majestic is a palatial Art Deco sprawl located in NSW’s Blue Mountains. Founded in 1901 as a wellness retreat (a pioneering idea for its time), it was soon host to the likes of Dame Nellie Melba and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The façade of this stately pile accounts for much of the hotel’s stellar first impression, but the award-winning Wintergarden restaurant, offering fancy afternoon teas and a refined dinner menu, plus a Shanghai-inspired tearoom, also help in setting this stay apart. Guests being treated to views of the lush Megalong Valley is the cherry on top.
Nice relaxed ambiance.
Rooms are "compact" but comfortable but you most likely won't spend a lot of time in your room.

The Shore at Katathani, Phuket
This bestseller is a Luxury Escapes icon, the dream location for couples with a soft spot for beachfront luxury and villas with private swimming pools. Checking into The Shore at Katathani promises the allure of doing as much or as little as you like. Laze on your villa’s secluded terrace, stroll along the resort’s Ocean Walk, do laps of the white-sand beach, and work your way through the menus at the two restaurants. Beyond the resort’s boundaries, the buzz of Patong is only 20 minutes’ away by car.

I booked an ocean view villa, i consider it the best hotel experience, the price compared to other choices in Phuket is high, but still it worth every $. How ever, my only negative concern, was there is no chairs for the beach belong to the hotel, while i have to pay for other operators.
At the end, i highly recommend this, it will be a life experience.

Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok
Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok has all the fixings – plus more – expected of this internationally-renowned hotel brand. This magnificent hotel has a history worth of a novella (it’s one of Mandarin Oriental’s oldest outposts). Its bones have been sitting pretty along the Chao Praya River since 1863 and it broke ground as the first luxury hotel in Thailand. It was also the first hotel with electric lights, plus it had Bangkok’s first hotel bar. The Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok has gone on to welcome enough writers to fill a library (think W. Somerset Maugham and John Le Carré) as well as Tsar Nicolas II of Russia, Princess Diana and Mick Jagger.
Iconic Hotels in Maldives
One&Only Reethi Rah, Male
The Maldives as a luxury destination needs little introduction, and neither does One&Only Reethi Rah.With past guests reportedly including the likes of Victoria and David Beckham, Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe (although the resort staff will never officially spill the beans), it’s this celeb-approved clout that has catapulted One&Only Reethi Rah into the ranks of one of the Maldives’ most renowned stays. Set on a private island only a short boat ride away from Male, this dreamy resort does overwater indulgence best, spanning eight restaurants, bars and lounges, including a swim-up bar. Between cocktails, explore 12 different beaches, snorkel with hawksbill turtles, or relax in Maldivian bliss with an upgrade to an overwater villa.
One&Only… paradise, only better!
From day one, we were overwhelmed by the colors, the light, the air, the sea, and the incredible friendliness of the entire team. One&Only embraces you with a warmth and welcome unlike anything we've ever experienced. The exceptional comfort of the villas, the incredibly generous gifts each day, and the care, service, and cleaning are unparalleled. So many towels!!! It's truly amazing!
But we also loved their commitment to sustainability: everything in glass bottles filled with tap water, coffee without a filter, just a squeeze. All freshly pressed, homegrown, and not to mention the excellent food in all the restaurants!!!! Incredible.
We had absolutely no complaints; we ate everything, which speaks volumes about the high quality.
We especially grew fond of our host, Rasheed. He truly anticipated our every need; he's a wonderful person and very friendly.
What impressed us most was the absolutely fantastic TAPASAKE restaurant. We ate teppanyaki and were more than delighted by Mr. Teppanyaki, the head chef, who not only cooked beautifully but also had some amazing card tricks up his sleeve—the David Copperfield of the stovetop! We had a wonderful time, and it was a very fun birthday evening for me. Many thanks again for the delicious birthday cake in our villa.
We had a beach villa with a pool, where we could enjoy the sunset every evening, or we would go to the TAPASAKE lounge for a sundowner!
It was truly incredible. The empathetic friendliness of the entire team made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole week. Dear Mr. Tibaldi, you and your team give the resort a soul; One&Only is more than just an island.
My conclusion: Once you've tried it, you'll be hooked forever! We will definitely come back, we already miss this paradisiacal place and its people, and we've only been home for 2 days.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the right rating of the resort.As soon as we arrived at the airport, the luggage service was organized and professional for the Reethirah trip. The reception by the Resort Manager and the Staff was an unforgettable experience. The host, Hameed, a very kind person, was very helpful, gave a short tour of the facilities and then we arrived at the villa. The villa was the villa of our dreams. The food was worthy of our expectations. We only stayed for 2 days but it seemed that it was enough to feel calm.

Caius M.
For our returning trip to this hotel we were disappointed. However this hotel has many positive sides so let me rank them for you:
– to begin with, the location is really good. 45 mn from the airport is really practical and avoid you to take a seaplane and spend a night at the airport.
– rooms are very nice and comfortable and the hotel went the extra way to provides a lot amenities like sunscreen, hat, beach bag, soothing cream and so on. And yes the ocean view is amazing.
– the gym is just incredible. I never thought I would find so many new machines and equipment on an island . For those who wonder why it is important, when you visit during the raining season it is good to have an outlet to go rather than being stuck in your room.
– breakfast selection is impressive for an island and caters to all types of clients : Asian, Middle Eastern or European. You will definitely find something you like .
– service is excellent with all departments but it is the case all over the Maldives . Special mention to the beach team who is attentive to your every needs despite the searing heat in which they work.
But it is not enough for a luxury hotel of this caliber . I won’t dwell on the ongoing renovation that disturb your peace because the hotel alerts you in their website but they don’t alert you for the following
– when you arrive you are charged a deposit , not hold but charged . So if you happen to have some money left it will take 2 weeks to get your money back. This procedure is unique to this resort . Bearing in mind you pay your stay before arriving , your credit card works. So what are you going to do if you don’t want to pay for the extras during your stay . Swim back to the airport with your suitcase in tow? A simple hold should be enough.
– the most important issue is the food. You have a half board package but the portions for dinner are really small and the side dish is tiny if any. It makes you feel the hotel wants you to pay extra to have a reasonable dinner even I don’t believe it is the goal. Then at breakfast most fruits were not ripes and we had to ask them to replace them until it was done the following days .you got the amazing choice but the fruits are green! Fair enough everything comes from mainland or Dubai and you might have a bad batch but several days in a row is not an option . Better not to put anything than unripe fruits.
– when you are at the pool or the beach , you have to pay for your own water while in the room the hotel is very generous with the locally filtered water . Why not give clients a bottle of local water to begin with? I mean of course you can pay the 14 usd for a mineral water but a courtesy water to begin with would be appreciated.
It is the details which separates a luxury resorts from another and in this case some works needs to be done.
Having said that the management took note of our comments and hopefully when we come back next all the above points will have been resolved.

Very disappointing experience — definitely not what we expected
Our experience at Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon was extremely disappointing, starting from the moment we arrived.
The biggest problem was the lack of transparency. We were told that certain things were included in our package, which created a completely different expectation from what we actually experienced during our stay. Only later did we discover that several things were charged separately. If something is not included, guests should be clearly informed beforehand, not after they have already arrived and made decisions based on what the staff told them.
The way the information was communicated to us was particularly frustrating. We felt that we were being told one thing at the beginning and then faced with a completely different reality afterward. For a resort at this price level, this is simply unacceptable.
Unfortunately, the service did not make up for it either. From the beginning, we did not feel genuinely welcomed or properly taken care of. Instead of feeling like valued guests, we felt like we constantly had to question what was included, what we would be charged for, and whether the information we were given was actually reliable.
A holiday in the Maldives is a significant investment, and guests deserve transparency, respectful treatment and clear communication from the moment they arrive.
The island and the reef may be beautiful, but a beautiful location cannot compensate for poor communication, unexpected charges and disappointing customer service.
Based on our experience, we would not return to Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon and would not recommend it to friends or family.
Before booking, I strongly recommend asking for everything included in writing, including drinks, activities, transfers and any possible additional charges. Do not rely only on what you are told verbally at check-in.
Iconic Hotels in UK
Claridge’s, London
When in London, this Mayfair institution is the place to rest your head. Favourited by celebrities past and present – from Audrey Hepburn to Leonardo DiCaprio, heads of state and royalty – its art deco interiors have housed some of history’s most accomplished. Claridge’s signature suites are some of the city’s most stylish (and spacious), having been designed by a revolving door of creatives and couturiers from Diane von Furstenberg to Rémi Tessier. For an afternoon tea experience worthy of folklore, head to The Foyer & Reading Room.
Think Singapore and Raffles Singapore immediately springs to mind. A living relic of the golden age of travel, its famous white exterior has long welcomed royalty, Hollywood greats and literary legends. Named after the father of modern Singapore, Sir Stamford Raffles, the hotel epitomises the city’s love of grandeur and invites guests into its immaculate halls to relive Singapore’s glamorous past. Indulge in French cuisine at La Dame de Pic, helmed by Michelin-starred chef Anne-Sophie Pic, and walk in the footsteps of illustrious scribes like Ernest Hemingway and Joseph Conrad at the Writers Bar to play your part in the Raffles legend.
Where Raffles is a symbol of Singapore’s history, Marina Bay Sands is a beacon of its modernity. Designed by architect Moshe Safdie, the three distinctive towers of the hotel have become an instantly recognisable icon of the Singapore skyline, featured in movies, TV shows, postcards and more. The 150-metre-long infinity pool, positioned 57 levels above the city, could be one of the most photographed pools in the world. Its onsite dining and shopping offering is legendary: think 80 restaurants and bars and 270 boutiques offering everything from CHANEL to Armani.
if you can afford just pick to stay here as everything is so nearby and its just amazing just in the hotel !

We especially enjoyed the iconic infinity pool, both in the evening and during the day. It was definitely one of the highlights of our stay.
We had such a memorable time relaxing, laughing and enjoying each other's company. The beautiful suite made our girls' getaway even more special.

Iconic Hotels in USA
The Beverly Hills Hotel, California
As the epitome of glamour in Tinsel Town, the walls of the iconic pink The Beverly Hills Hotel must have a story or three to tell. A playground for the Hollywood elite since 1912, this is where LA’s finest come to be seen and equally, not be seen (guests have included Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy, Elizabeth Burton and Richard Taylor). From its instantly recognisable cabana-lined pool, to the grand lobby and legendary bungalows (where an A-list love affair or two have played out), the influence of Hollywood is felt everywhere. Add to that a curated art collection, eateries including the fabled Polo Lounge and a spa inspired by Californian flora and fauna and you’ve got an A-list escape indeed.
Central Park, Fifth Avenue and Times Square: The Plazais among the Big Apple’s most renowned landmarks.A staple for royalty, socialites and Hollywood films throughout history, F. Scott Fitzgerald once said that “nothing unimportant ever happens at The Plaza”. From its Gatsby-esque interiors – think stained glass ceilings, velvety seating and marble pillars flecked with shining gold – to the specialty afternoon tea at Palm Court and the finest tipples poured at The Champagne Bar, The Plaza remains an icon for a reason.
Iconic place of New York, you can just visit it like a museum, there are two shops one for "Home alone" with Heroes clothes that you can buy, and another for all who adores books "Éloïse at Plaza Hotel" a great children's book, about a naugty girl who livde in this hotel, you can buy souvenirs, and there's her post box with all people around the world who are writing to Éloïse!!! I adored it!!!!

The staff and the hotel are superb! The staff are so helpful. Jose and Erica were the two that stood out to me. We did the Home Alone 2 experience. Wow. It included a 4 hour limo ride to all the hot spots, and our driver Mike was so kind he let us pick where we wanted to go. It came with a hot cheese pizza and a cooler full of Coke a cola and water. Then you get 19 scoops of ice cream with all of the toppings. Served through room service. Also got a teddy bear with a balloon and two turtle dove ornaments like in the movie. They always have real flowers. They told me they change them out every Thursday. The shower has wonderful water pressure. The bed was very comfortable. Our room has a terrace. I really enjoyed being out there listening to the water fountain. There are 2 chaise loungers to sit on. The most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed at. It is expensive but I feel it was worth every penny .

Iconic Hotels in Morocco
La Mamounia, Marrakech
With a century of elegance under its belt, La Mamounia is no stranger to accolades – it’s been named the best hotel in Morocco by publications including Condé Nast Traveler. This masterpiece of a hotel was once Winston Churchill’s winter respite of choice and it continues to welcome significant guests to its historic halls, as it has done since 1923. This uniquely designed hotel, with its distinctive chandelier (‘the jewel of the grand dame’), is where traditional Zellij tiles and Berber-style tapestries collide, along with art deco furniture, signature fragrances, acclaimed restaurants and multiple wellbeing offerings.
There can’t be many people in the world who haven’t heard of the legendary Ritz Paris. The array of artists and celebrities that have walked its hallowed halls since first opening in 1898 is a roll call of icons, from royalty like Princess Diana, to fashion icons like Coco Chanel and avant-garde creators like Ernest Hemingway. Beyond its majestic façade, Parisian sensibilities – from style to taste – permeate every corner of this grand palace. The magic of midnight in Paris can be found at Bar Hemingway, while the Michelin-starred Espadon restaurant is the pinnacle of French gastronomic elegance.
With a legacy of more than 120 years as India’s inaugural luxury hotel,The Taj Mahal Palace Mumbai is more than just prolific architecture and rich history. Overlooking the Gateway of India and the Arabian Sea, this harbourside haven is known for hosting illustrious guests, royalty and political figures alongside lovers of high-end luxury. Enjoy a tipple at Mumbai’s first licensed lounge bar, treat your palate to traditional Indian recipes at the Michelin-starred Quilon, and indulge in high tea fit for a maharaja during your stay.
Widely regarded as one of the most luxurious hotels in the world, Burj Al Arab is a name synonymous with glamour. Located on its own man-made island, the sail-like structure commands the Dubai skyline, as the pinnacle of the city’s cosmopolitan boom. Its regal interiors are mind-blowing: think more than 30 different types of marble, 1,790sqm of 24-carat gold leaf, gold columns and thousands of Swarovski crystals. Add to that the world’s largest fleet of Rolls Royces, a rooftop helipad and a Michelin-starred restaurant, and you’ve got the ultimate high-rollers’ playground.
Some hotels generate such buzz they become an instant icon. It may be one of the newer additions to Dubai’s glimmering skyline, but Atlantis The Royal certainly arrived with a splash (the grand opening was a glittering spectacle headed up by Beyoncé, no less). With directional architecture rising from the Palm Jumeirah, this cutting-edge hotel ups the ante with a 90-metre sky pool, 17 dining outlets, a sprawling 5,000sqm wellness centre, and a lobby boasting three aquariums, including the world’s largest jellyfish tank.
This is the nicest hotel we have stayed at and we travel the world in luxury resorts. The service was exceptional along with the dining, room service and actual room. There was no aspect of our stay that didn’t exceed expectations. We would never want to stay anywhere else now after the standard Atlantis The Royal has set

Iconic Hotels in Canada
Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Alberta
A heritage icon at the edge of the UNESO World Heritage-listed Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is like something out of a fairytale. From its humble beginnings as a rail chalet and post for outdoor adventurers in 1890, it became a beacon of alpine luxury for the Hollywood elite, welcoming the likes of Alfred Hitchcock and Marilyn Monroe. Located in the very wilderness between glacier-fed lakes, snow-capped mountains and the ski slopes of the Rockies, the hotel is a destination in itself – with some of the most incredible views of Banff National Park possible and options for hiking, kayaking and exploring come warmer months.
The grand Belle Époque-style Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo is one of Monaco’s most legendary places to spend a night, where, since the early 1900s, a roster of glamorous guests have wined and dined beneath the Gustave Eiffel-designed glass dome of the winter garden. It’s not hard to see how it continues to attract the crème de la crème, with its strip of private Mediterranean beach, Michelin-starred restaurant by Yannick Alléno (be sure to book well in advance: as one of the world’s most esteemed chefs, he has an incredible 16 Michelin stars to his name across his global restaurants), and 6,500sqm wellness centre, Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo.
