As you might expect from such a popular honeymoon destination, hotels in Bali are a'plenty. The island has plenty of accommodation options to choose from, indeed your only problem might be deciding where to stay (beach or hilltop? You could try and do both, but it'll take a little more planning) or you know, finding something that isn’t filled with loved-up couples being gross and soppy on their honeymoon, whether you're also travelling as a couple or not!  Anyway, whatever the Bali logistics you need a hand with are, we’ve got it covered. From North to South. Whether you're looking at surfers’ beach paradise Canggu, where there's great backpacking option at Serenity; An immersion in culture capital Ubud, where the relative solitude of Komaneka is very much welcome; or shopping and partying in and around Seminyak, where we've wittle down the huge list of accomodation. Off the beaten track, you can really get away from it all at the clifftop Alila Villas in Uluwatu, Alassari Plantation in Selemadag, or Sun Suko Boutique Resort in Pemuteran. Another good choice for arrival or departure is Maya in Sanur, which is close to the airport. That's assuming you ever decide to leave. Whever you decide to go, you won't be disappointed. The number of amazing things to do in Bali is surely rivaled by the number of hotels to rest your head at afterward. We’ve picked our favourites below, have a little look.  RECOMMENDED: The best Airbnbs in BaliRECOMMENDED: The best hotels in UbudRECOMMENDE

The unruly, untamed soul of Italy is bustling, noisy and scruffy, but it’s also a cultural goldmine full of art-filled churches, underground crypts, archeological and historical wonders, and gleaming palaces. Oh, and the rugged coastline dotted with tiny beaches within easy reach is pretty special too. Along with the culture and history, Naples is perhaps best known for its most famous contribution to the world—pizza—but there are also plenty of fine-dining opportunities. The accommodation is equally wide-ranging, so choose to stay in a Liberty-style villa, a modern 5-star seafront hotel or a converted palazzo and, if you can afford it, get a room with those incredible views over the Bay of Naples and smouldering Vesuvius. Here are our picks of the best hotels in Naples.  Recommended: The best Airbnbs in NaplesRecommended: The 20 best things to do in Naples This article includes affiliate links.

Sicily is bursting with amazing things to do. And much like the region itself, the hotel scene is a diverse hub of different styles, locations and price points. There are city gems like the Alma in Palermo, or grand hotels, such as Taormina’s 19th-century hilltop Timeo, with its stunning views, or the Sant’Andrea with its own stretch of beach. For boutique hotels, there’s the Gutkowski in Syracuse, set within two restored fishermen’s cottages, and the architect-designed Casa Talia, or there’s the Manaci delle Terre Nere, in a restored old winery. Nature-lovers will appreciate the Minareto resort, set on the edge of a nature reserve, or the lovely Capofaro set on a promontory among the Tasca d’Almerita vineyards. Enticing, right?

When eighteenth-century essayist William Hazlitt inconveniently passed away at No.6 Frith Street, his landlady shoved his body under the bed in order to show the room to a potential tenant. I wonder if it was mine as I climb into one of the antique, but incredibly comfortable beds – a gilded Louis XVI French number in the ‘Mrs Teresa Cornelys*’ room – but don’t care. The bed is just one of the joys of this eighteenth-century gem on Frith Street, in the heart of Soho. Each room name has an historic connection to the houses, and everything from the wood panelling and original paintings, to the silk swag curtains, evokes the Georgian age – though, thankfully, the plumbing has moved on and guests can luxuriate, with REN toiletries, in free-standing claw-foot baths with rainfall showerheads. There’s even a ‘throne’ loo in one of the suites. Others have library lounges, open fireplaces, or rooftop terraces, but all have modern facilities, such as air-conditioning, free wifi, and smart TVs, albeit housed in antique cupboards to preserve the atmosphere. Breakfast in bed is another treat here: start with a glass of Buck’s Fizz then chow down on a toasted bagel with smoked salmon, or a bacon roll. If you must leave the room, check out the bookshelves; Hazlitt’s is understandably popular with writers, presumably hoping to pick up on the creative atmosphere, and there are plenty of signed first editions on the shelves, as well as old tomes. There are two cosy lounges, one has an honesty
