The Majestic Malacca: Located by a riverbank that teemed during the spice trade of yesteryear, The Majestic Malacca provides a glimpse into a bygone era. Multicultural influences are reflected in its colonial architecture, bespoke services and Kristang cuisine.

Threadneedles: Formerly a Victorian bank, this discreet boutique hotel is crowned by an elegant stained-glass dome — a favourite highlight Instagrammers. Housing a restaurant by celebrated British chef Marco Pierre White, Theadneedles also takes pride in its iconic afternoon tea.

The Academy: The hotel occupies an enviable location in the centre of Bloomsbury, a high-end district in London's West End dating back 240 years. Grassy squares and grand Georgian townhouses make for pleasant strolls around the neighbourhood. 

Hilton Niseko Village: Adjacent to the Niseko Gondola that whisks skiers straight to the top of Mount Niseko Annupuri, this luxury hotel is outfitted with outstanding restaurants, a spa, an onsen, a fitness centre, a business centre, meeting rooms, a ballroom and a playground for little 'uns.

The Green Leaf Niseko Village: The brainchild of New York-based design firm Champalimaud Design, which has won awards for its distinctive interiors that reflect their unique settings, The Green Leaf Niseko Village is an all-season destination hotel. Enjoy the great outdoors before letting your hair down at the fireplace, the therapeutic hot springs, or the in-house spa.
