DUBROVNIK
The Croatian coast is studded with
luxury hotels, but nothing in Lord
Byron’s “pearl of the Adriatic” quite
matches the Radisson Blu Resort &
Spa, Dubrovnik Sun Gardens. The
hotel’s cliff-top location gives jaw-
dropping views out to sea from all of
its 400-plus rooms and apartments.
Guests can spend their days lazing and
bathing in the hotel’s trio of swimming
BRISTOL
It’s a rare treat to encounter a hotel
that mixes the familiarity of a B&B
with the luxury of a high-end hideaway,
but this boutique, five-star, 11-room
residence does just that. Crouching on
a hilltop, just a five-minute walk from
the centre of Bath’s UNESCOWorld
Heritage-recognised centre, the snug
Paradise has an enviable view over the
city’s imposing sandstone streetscape.
Still a must-see for any visitor to the
West Country, the Roman-founded city
prides itself on its local produce, making
it a hotspot for foodies, and Paradise
House is a great place to sample this
farm-fresh fare. Guests congregate
in the mornings in the cosy breakfast
room to eat some of Britain’s best
sausages, teamed with incredibly fluffy
scrambled eggs and served with the
renowned West Country hospitality.
As befits a stay in this historic
town, rooms are decorated with
vintage furniture – a four-poster bed
in some – and large bathrooms with
Molton Brown toiletries. Quite simply,
delightful.

breads, pasta, top cuts of meat and fresh
fish are prepared right before your eyes.
