Royal Suite THE SAVOY, LONDON

Royal Lochnagar Suite GLENEAGLES, SCOTLAND As one of Scotland’s best hotels, Gleneagles has a sterling reputation and is loved by those with a passion for the great outdoors. The grand hotel is set within the 850-acre Gleneagles estate in the Scottish countryside where you’ll find lochs, tennis courts, a croquet lawn, shooting and fishing school, stables, zip line, three championship golf courses and its own train station. The Royal Lochnagar Suite is a luxurious yet cozy space with a four-poster bed and an elegant sitting room awash in light colors. There’s also a working fireplace to enjoy and glorious views over the Perthshire countryside through large windows. It feels more like a grand home than a suite: It is clad in rich velvet and has plenty of quaint nooks to while away an afternoon with a good book and a wee dram of the Royal Lochnagar whisky that will be waiting for you when you arrive. From $5,045 per night. Contact Lorraine McCreadie, reservations manager, lorraine.mccreadie@gleneagles.com, +44 176 466 2231, gleneagles.com

Needing little introduction, The Savoy is one of London’s most legendary hotels. It sits right on the bank of the River Thames (the only five-star hotel in the city to do so) and was the first luxury hotel in all of Britain. It has had many famous patrons during its 130-year history, and many of the guest rooms pay homage to them — the Marlene Dietrich Suite has a bouquet of pink roses that the actress requested whenever she stayed. The Royal Suite is the grandest of them all: It occupies the entire riverside of the fifth floor and has a master bedroom with four-poster bed and a Savoir mattress. The open-plan layout is perfect for entertaining; the sitting room leads into a spacious living room with its own bar — have your butler whip up a cocktail and enjoy the incredible views of the London Eye, Canary Wharf and beyond. From $19,000 per night. Contact Kate Fox-Male, guest experience and communications manager, svy.reservations@fairmont.com, +44 207 836 4343, fairmont.com
