Salvador Dali used to stay here, no doubt taking inspiration from the beautiful 18th century opulence. Decorated in the extravagant Louis XVI style and featuring stunning interior styling, each of the hotel’s seven floors has

its own distinct theme.

When in Paris, it doesn’t get much better than staying in a bona fide

palace. Le Meurice was built in the 18th century and has been frequented by the likes of Salvador Dalí (for whom the hotel’s restaurant is named). Located between Place de la Concorde and the Louvre, it is decorated in the extravagant Louis XVI style and boasts stunning interiors from the renowned Philippe Starck. What you see will depend on which floor your room is on as each has its own distinct theme while diners at Restaurant Le Dalí need only look up to see a mural by artist Ara Starck.

!$#x EAST, MIAMIF l o r i d a , U S A

EAST can be found on the roof of Brickell City Centre in downtown Miami. It is an all-

American venture with interiors by New York’s Clodagh Design, architecture by Miami-based firm Arquitectonica and the rooftop bar, Sugar, put together by Los Angeles-based Studio Collective. The design is bright and clean with bursts of colour and hints of retro Americana. In the true spirit of Miami, Feng Shui, bio geometry, radiesthesia, and crystal healing methods are used throughout the hotel to ‘balance and harmonize the flow of energy’ – but if that doesn’t do it for you there is also a beautiful pool overlooking the city.

M o r o c c oWater is a theme with pools

covering the grounds that sit in the shadow of the extraordinary

Atlas mountains. The interiors are a blend of Moroccan lanterns, carved wooden screens and

glittering mosaic tiles. Special mention must go to the kids' club

with its aquamarine walls and whimsical wooden sheep.

M a l d i v e sMuch like the rest of the Maldives,

the island of Dhidhoofinolhu is pretty close to paradise. LUX* South Ari Atoll plays on these surroundings by employing a

beach house aesthetic throughout a mixture of over-water and beach

villas and pavilions. A nautical feel is achieved with sea blues

and sand whites sprinkled with a few fun touches like light fixtures created using nets and the odd

dolphin fin side table. luxresorts.com

!%#x BLUMEN HAUS LECHL e c h , A u s t r i a

A ll the character of an Alpine cabin with significantly more mod-cons, Blumen

Haus Lech will be opening its doors to the general public this December. Luxury is the watchword here and its not hard to see why; the boutique hotel will be made up of nine super-suites bedecked with lavish furnishings by Italian studio Minotti. The rustic style will be tempered by a hypoxic chamber for high-altitude training, state of the art gym and fitness facilities and partnerships with brands like Pol Roger so guests can expect a little more from their après ski than a simple mug of glühwein.
