FAMILY FUN 

Edinburgh

Winter is a magical time of year at The Balmoral. Walking into its grand entrance, your family will step into a winter wonderland. Spoil them with an overnight stay in the suite in which JK Rowling wrote the final Harry Potter book; your children will delight in its Harry Potter-inspired décor and all the benefits of our Families R Forte programme. Celebrate the New Year in true Scottish style with your loved ones at The Balmoral’s glittering Hogmanay Gala Ball. Opening to the sound of bagpipes, you’ll enjoy a Champagne and canapé reception, followed by a sumptuous 4-course dinner and live music for a rousing rendition of Auld Lang Syne at midnight.*

NEW YEAR’S ROMANCE 

Frankfurt

Celebrate the start of a new year with a romantic retreat to the luxury of Villa Kennedy, where you can welcome 2019 with that special someone. Spend the afternoon taking a leisurely walk along the Main River, before unwinding together with a couples massage at the hotel’s spa. Your garden view suite is the perfect place to enjoy some quality time together, ensconced in secluded luxury. Order Champagne and strawberries on room service to see in the new year, just the two of you.

PARTY WITH FRIENDS

Berlin

A stylish, vibrant hotel in the heart of cosmopolitan Berlin, Hotel de Rome is an unforgettable destination in which to kick off the new year with a bang. With striking views over the Bebelplatz, the glamorous Terrace Suite is the perfect place to watch the fireworks with your closest friends and let the Champagne corks fly. To keep the party going, head to A-list favourite, The Grand nightclub, situated nearby, and dance your way into 2019 with your nearest and dearest. 

* Tickets to The Balmoral’s Hogmanay Gala Ball are available for children of 12 years and over.

Coastal modernism, Sicilian Style: New Suites at Verdura Resort

Verdura Resort has always drawn its character from its surroundings – the wide sweep of Sicily's south-western coastline, the olive groves and macchia mediterranea stretching back from the shore, the quality of a landscape that shifts hour by hour with the sun. When Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen, working closely with Olga Polizzi, began designing the resort's new collection of sea-facing suites and rooms, that relationship between interior and place was where they started.

Exploring the Baroque Splendour of Southern Italy

To understand Baroque, you have to understand its ambition. To fully appreciate it, you have to go to southern Italy. Emerging from the Counter-Reformation in early 17th-century Italy, the movement harnessed drama, ornamentation and light in service of devotion – art designed to engage the senses as much as the intellect.

The Language of Flowers: Inside our Suites

Every suite is, in some sense, a portrait of where it stands, grounded in the history, the stories, the particular light of its city. At Hotel de Russie in Rome, the Valadier Suite takes its name and its lush colour palette from the architect who designed the hotel's own Secret Garden; at Hotel Amigo in Brussels, the Tintin Suite pays tribute to Belgium's most beloved cultural hero. The floristry follows the same instinct.
