For a few days in Bandra, a sea-facing room and an evening at House of Nomad give you reasons to spend time at the hotel. If the trip revolves around Colaba’s monuments, look at the journeys south first.
What guests love most: the location, 93 in 100 happy.
I would choose the St. Regis for work in Lower Parel and evenings dining with the city beyond the windows. For walking straight out towards the Gateway of India, I would look for a base in Colaba.
I would come for a day spent inside Zaha Hadid’s architecture, followed by dinner at Yí. For a trip built around the streets of historic Macau, allow for travelling out of Cotai each time.
What guests love most: the staff and service, 89 in 100 happy.
I would bring the book I keep postponing and leave part of each day free for the lake. For work filled with online meetings, I would choose another base: this is a stay that needs time without a programme.
I would choose it for an early departure or late arrival, leaving a few hours between the bedroom and pool. For daily walks around central Delhi, compare the journeys first: Aerocity is a base close to the airport.

I’d start here for a first Seoul of royal palaces, Bukchon and a Charles H. cocktail after dinner. If you’re returning mainly for Gangnam and spending your evenings south of the river, I’d choose an address on that side.
What guests love most: the location, 90 in 100 happy.
At SIGNIEL, you’re booking time spent looking out too: I’d choose it for two, with a whole evening kept for the hotel. You’re in Jamsil; for daily visits around Gyeongbokgung and Bukchon, a base in the historic centre is more convenient.
What guests love most: the location, 89 in 100 happy.
With the children, I’d stay here for a few days: the park is next door, and the afternoon can continue in the outdoor pool. If your trip revolves around Bukit Bintang’s restaurants and nightlife, look for a base in that neighbourhood.
What guests love most: the location, 98 in 100 happy.
At Grand Hyatt, keep an afternoon for the pool and dinner facing the towers, without leaving the hotel. I’d come for a stay with long pauses; if you want the metro immediately outside, the stations take a walk to reach.
What guests love most: the location, 94 in 100 happy.
I’d choose Four Seasons for walking through the Old Town and coming back to dinner at CottoCrudo. If most of your plans are in Malá Strana, I’d look across the river.
What guests love most: the location, 96 in 100 happy.
After a day walking through Prague, I’d want to return to Augustine’s old monastery. You’re in Malá Strana; if the Old Town is where you want to spend your evenings, I’d stay across the river.
What guests love most: the location, 89 in 100 happy.
The Old Jazz Band in the evening and the Bund outside in the morning: that’s why I’d come to the Peace. For a trip centred on Lujiazui’s offices, I’d stay in Pudong.
What guests love most: the location, 94 in 100 happy.
For a suite in the old Shanghai Club and an evening at the Long Bar, I’d choose the Waldorf. With a diary full of meetings in Lujiazui, I’d stay over in Pudong.
What guests love most: the location, 91 in 100 happy.
