What hotel features leave you cold?
I was writing about a new boutique hotel opening this week where the company had decided to do away with doormen and room service but concentrated on features they think modern travellers want, like free Wi-Fi. It got me thinking: what do I want from a hotel? I have divided my thoughts into three

Excelsior Palace Hotel – Rapallo
Along the coast from the better-known French Riviera, is the arguably more scenic Italian Riviera, and here, at Rapallo, perched on a cliff, is the Excelsior Palace Hotel, one of only two five-star hotels on the Portofino Coast. 45 minutes’ drive from the airport, it’s an ideal weekend getaway. The Excelsior Palace Hotel first

Watergate Bay, Cornwall
Dramatic floor to ceiling windows overlook the unspoilt Watergate Bay with miles and miles of golden sands. A few surfers, a handful of dog walkers and a noisy group of seagulls arguing over a piece of fish were the only beach occupants on this rather overcast summer’s day. Inside, the squishy sofas, daily papers and

Crowne Plaza hotel – Gatwick airport
The biggest nuisance with flying is getting to and from the airport, especially for an early flight. I therefore tend to try to stay at airport hotels to avoid the dreaded shuttle bus nightmare. It probably isn’t a nightmare at all, but in my head and at some ungodly hour in the morning, my brain

Sofitel – so convenient – Gatwick airport
Sofitel is linked to the north terminal at Gatwick airport by a covered walkway; two minutes on foot will get you to the terminal. There isn’t a more convenient place to stay. Arranged around a central atrium, many of the 500-odd rooms look over the runway. It’s an airport hotel, so a slightly corporate

Hip hotel near the shops – Le Germain, Montreal
Situated right in the middle of town, this boutique hotel – large enough to offer good facilities; small enough to be friendly – is well placed for both shopaholics and general tourists alike. A former office building, try to get a room with a view from the floor length windows that let in natural
