Hotels from some of Expedia’s top trending destinations for November
Four Seasons Hotel Macao at Cotai Strip
If you’re looking for glamour, this Four Seasons hotel has it in spades. There’s five pools to choose from and a Michelin starred Chef with a reputation for serving stellar Cantonese cuisine.
Mandarin Oriental, Singapore
With Marina Bay, the Esplanade and plenty of shops on your doorstep, you won’t have to stray far from this hotel – not that you’d want to leave. All the rooms have floor to ceiling views out over the Bay or the city, the spa has a reputation of its own and the dining options walk the globe.
The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur
Just about to celebrate its first birthday after a long hiatus as a hotel, this heritage building was the first Malayan hotel to have bathrooms in every room back in the 1930s. Today it takes luxury to another level. There is possibly nothing more decadent than high tea in The Orchid Conservatory, surrounded by thousands of orchards.
Crown Towers Melbourne
With two of Australia’s famous chefs at the helm as Culinary Directors, Melbourne’s glam hotel probably has one of the best room service menus around town. Guillaume Brahimi and Neil Perry add a bit of star power to the classic club sandwich and beef burger.
Outrigger Little Hastings Street Resort & Spa Noosa
Noosa is well known for its food, fashion and hotels. Whether you’re with the girls, family or there’s just two of you, these serviced apartments and villas are a great spot to escape the crowds. The bath tubs will make you never want to leave.
Raffles Hotel Le Royal Phnom Penh
Dating back to 1929, this luxury hotel has stood the test of time and welcomed a few celebs to Cambodia. Among many, Jackie Kennedy stayed on site in 1967, and you can even try a drink inspired by her lipstick colour.
DoubleTree by Hilton Esplanade Darwin
Australia’s first three DoubleTree by Hilton hotels were launched last year in the Northern Territory. At the Esplanade Darwin Hotel, you’ll find the famous DoubleTree cookies on arrival, air con (essential in the Darwin heat) and one of the city’s biggest hotel pools.
