Timeless, traditional luxury is embodied in nearly every corner of Coworth Park, part of the elegant Dorchester Collection. Located in Ascot less than an hour from London, this sprawling country estate is the ideal location for a holiday stay. WiFi is complimentary and, if it snows, you’re off the hook for clearing the driveway. Come for the New Year and enjoy a gathering with canapés and Champagne, dinner from a special New Year’s Eve menu, dancing and sparkling fireworks. Through Jan. 14, 2018, your Festive Season at Coworth Park getaway includes luxury accommodations and full English breakfast for two, plus a holiday-themed treat (rates vary by your choice of room category in the mansion or the converted stable block).

The Summer Room

While you’re in residence, enjoy sumptuous Festive Afternoon Tea and restorative therapies at the luxurious spa located in an earth-roofed, glass-walled space a short walk from the main mansion. Feeling energetic? Take a polo lesson with the Guards Polo Club on one of the estate’s two polo fields. Be sure to work up an appetite: Dinner at The Barn means choices from the seasonal Best of British menu in a rustic setting including a massive stone fireplace. The Barn earned multiple accolades, including two AA Rosettes. Samples from this year’s holiday menu include roast Norfolk Bronze turkey with sage and chestnut stuffing, tea-smoked salmon, Coworth Christmas Pudding with brandy sauce and apple Frangipane tart with clotted cream and blackberries. Additional dining can be enjoyed in the main mansion at the Restaurant Coworth Park. Awarded one Michelin star, the restaurant is the domain of executive chef Adam Smith. In addition to the main restaurant space, private dining areas include The Oak Room with soaring Georgian windows, the Dessert Room next to the wall of wine and The Conservatory, where windows open onto the terrace.

Fairfield by Marriott Phnom Penh Review

Phnom Penh as we imagined it stretches beneath us: a picturesque, low-rise mix of Southeast Asian and French Colonial styles. When the inhabitants of those buildings look back at us here in the Fairfield by Marriott hotel in Chip Mong Tower, they see the future.

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
