3* Catalonia Sagrada Familia – Barcelona, Spain 

Just a 15-minute stroll from the architectural marvel that is La Sagrada Familia, this well-located hotel places guests right in the heart of Gaudí’s legacy.

The hotel’s design is fresh and simple, with clean lines and a calm colour palette. Rooms are well-equipped with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and flat-screen TVs – ideal for travellers recharging between sightseeing sprees. There’s a small but inviting outdoor pool (a bonus in Barcelona’s sun-soaked seasons) and an on-site bar and restaurant serving Mediterranean-inspired dishes. It’s a top pick for clients who want practicality, style, and a front-row seat to one of the world’s most famous churches.

Tucked away in a charming Victorian building, Astor Court gives clients a taste of classic London with an unbeatable West End location. It’s just a short walk from Regent Street, Oxford Circus, and the buzz of Soho, so shopping, theatre-hopping, and sightseeing are right on the doorstep. 

The hotel blends old-school character with contemporary flair. Rooms and suites are comfortably sized, and the family rooms are especially appealing for those travelling with kids. Guests enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast, and there’s a 24-hour reception, perfect for those arriving late from long-haul flights. With the British Museum and Madame Tussauds also close by, this is a great option to recommend for clients looking to tick off London’s top sights without straying far from their base. 

4* Best Western Premier Royal Santina – Rome, Italy 

Just steps from Termini Station and within walking distance of the Baths of Diocletian, the National Roman Museum, and even the Colosseum, the Best Western Premier Royal Santina offers a solid Roman base with sleek, modern interiors and business-class comfort. 

Inside, expect ultra-modern rooms with chromotherapy lighting, soundproofing, minibars, and tea/coffee facilities – everything your clients need after a long day exploring the Eternal City.

4* The Corner Duomo – Milan, Italy 

If your clients want to be mere footsteps from Milan’s iconic cathedral, The Corner Duomo puts them right in the thick of it. This contemporary hotel is located in a quiet side street just moments from the Piazza del Duomo, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and the bustle of Via Montenapoleone’s designer boutiques. 

The hotel is a sleek sanctuary inside with bold pops of colour, minimalist furniture, and intuitive tech throughout. Rooms include handy extras like espresso machines, rain showers, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Some suites offer private terraces overlooking Milan’s rooftops, which feel particularly magical at sunset.

5* The Trafalgar St. James, Curio Collection by Hilton – London, UK 

Few hotels can claim a front-row seat to London’s most famous square, but The Trafalgar St. James delivers with serious style.

Part of Hilton’s Curio Collection, the hotel offers bold interiors, plush rooms, and thoughtful extras like Nespresso machines, Marshall speakers, and fluffy robes. The showstopper, though, is the rooftop bar – one of London’s finest – with panoramic views that sweep from the London Eye to Big Ben. There’s also a stylish restaurant and cocktail bar on the ground floor. This property is perfect for couples and city lovers wanting to stay right in the heart of London without sacrificing calm or class.
