If You Must Splurge, Treat Yourself with These 5 Luxury Hotel Stays

Every now and then, we all need a break from life’s demands and recharge ourselves – unfortunately, not every one of us can afford the time to do so. Now if you can’t go on a vacation, why not let the vacation come to you? With a luxurious staycation, of course!

Splurge on a good accommodation, put on your coolest resort wear, and immediately dive right into your perfect holiday. When the hotel interior is this beautiful, there’s no need to step outside.

Wondering where you can check yourself in? Here’s a list of luxurious, trendy, oh-so-worth-it hotels for your next guilt-free staycation.

The Upper House, Hong Kong

The Upper House

Home away from home, except, this is a much more tasteful home! Architect Andre Fu’s vision of an understated residential calmness truly comes alive in this luxe hotel.

Using Bedonia stone, shoji glass, and bamboo, the space gives off a dramatic yet streamlined and zen-like atmosphere, immediately putting its guest in a relaxed mood.

With a team of well-trained staff, The Upper House determines to please. From paperless check-in and check-out, a full line of complimentary in-room Maxi Bar, spectacular views of Victoria Harbour or The Peak from the spacious bathrooms (with a walk-in rain shower to boot!), personal IPTV, and in a bid to conserve the environment, you will be driven around Hong Kong with either one of their three Lexus RX450hor a BMWi3. Talk about the high life!

Your palate will be charmed, too, at the highly acclaimed Café Gray Deluxe, headed by the renowned Chef Gray Kunz, famed for his Michelin-starred Café Gray in New York City.

Looking for an escapade to clear your mind? We say, here’s the one for you.

Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, Vietnam

Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi

Here’s one staycation perfect for the old souls. Relive the grandeur of the French Colonial days in style.

The Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi dates back to 1901 and the mark of the era is evident in the details of the estate. The richness and opulence are clearly visible in its timber flooring, wood panelling, wrought iron, heavy curtains, and rich color schemes – all too intriguing and inviting.

The hotel boasts a fine French restaurant - Le Beaulieu, that has a guest list of diplomats, officials, and the society’s who’s-who. Conveniently located in the heart of the commercial, business, and administrative district, the Metropole is just mere minutes away from the Opera House in the French Quarter.

Cultural immersion, you say? Checked.

A stately five-star hotel of the ancient times, a quiet and discreet atmosphere, and service fit for the nobles, this is a definite must-stay hotel when you are in the enchanting destination of Hanoi.

Trisara Villas & Residences Phuket, Thailand

Trisara Villas & Residences Phuket

For a tropical resort experience, look no further than the revered Trisara Villas & Residences. The name Trisara means “The Garden in the Third Heaven” in Sanskrit, revealing a glimpse of what is to be expected when one steps foot on this exotic location.

Only a 15 minutes’ drive from the airport in Phuket, Trisara offers 48 oceanfront pool villas as well as 2 - 6-bedroom private residences, and the best part? All room-types unfurl to their very own plunge pool.

If you are a sports junkie, there’s an endless list of activities to be enjoyed – diving, snorkeling, water sport, golfing, tennis, or even Muay Thai on the beach. And when you are done, calm your nerves and muscles at the full-service holistic spa overlooking the Andaman Sea.

After that, why not enjoy a scrumptious meal of the day’s freshest catch at Trisara Seafood, Phuket’s favourite Mediterranean seafood restaurant!

The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The hotel has 364 rooms on offer, including 30 one-bedroom suites, and with a lavish spa at your service, there is no reason why the hustle and bustle of the city should bother you even one bit.

If you are a foodie, then you’d be spoiled for award-winning choices as far as dining is concerned. And to truly live up to the luxe life hashtag, besides the HD flat panel TV and marble bathtub, you’d be glad to know that your stay at the Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur comes with full butler service.
