The Calile Hotel- Brisbane, Australia
A heavenly serve of sorbet tones, blonde timber, brass and stone, The Calile Hotel is an interior design triumph. Each room honouring a less is more aesthetic, with colour and form the undisputed design focus. Soft cashmere knits and peachy bottoms encapsulate the Calile's relaxed yet tailored vibe.

Es Bec d'Aguila- Menorca, Spain
When we first saw this newly renovated property, we had a collective GASP. I mean, does it get any better? We doubt it.
What would one pack for such a stellar destination? Muted colour, linen, and volume; the perfect mirror to the 19th-century home's dreamy, bold arches and bespoke Balearic interiors.

Maison Armance- Paris, France
Perched at the top of the Rue Cambon, a hop-step-and-teeter away from Chanel's headquarters, you can bet this Parisian exercise in understated luxury is ticking all the boxes.
Dirty blues, gold embellishments and this modern take on panelling; GOSH- it's to die for! Pour la mode? When in Paris, wear a blazer. You've seen all of those divine French girls; consider yourself schooled in the art of effortless cool.

Reschio Estate- Umbria-Tuscany, Italy
If you weren't already across it, Umbria is the NEW Tuscany. Reschio Estate is a brand-spankingly NEW addition to the world's list of luxury boutique hotels- it sits (quite literally) over the borders of both spectacular regions. And it has to be seen to be believed.
Perfectly restored, by Count Benedikt Bolza, the 10th-century stone Hotel Castello di Reschio towers above the estate, offering astonishingly beautiful rooms and suites; the attention to detail is simply breathtaking, but that's not the only accommodation.
Choose from one of the nine ancient farmhouses (all with private swimming pools) for your (at this point- pretend!) Italian getaway. While Reschio straddles borders, you'll be straddling seasons; and nothing is better for it than the classic trench coat. A true work-horse in anyone's wardrobe.
