I had a positively regal stay at @StRegisRome a few months ago: a brilliant base to explore all the best that #Rome has to offer, with cultural collaborations and, of course, some good old-fashioned glamour. https://t.co/m3V0bKNWn5 @stregishotels @MarriottIntl #Italy #StRegis

What's better than the setting of Raffles #Udaipur? It's got to be the hotel's incredibly attentive and generous butler service. Here are my thoughts on @raffleshotels' first outpost in #India. https://t.co/7jeqfInvYW @Accor @incredibleindia #Raffles #travel
