Hotels from some of Expedia\u2019s top trending destinations for December, 2014<\/em><\/p>\n

Melia Bali, Indonesia<\/a><\/h2>\n

A private beach in Nusa Dua, garden villas, four poster beds, lagoon pool, five restaurants \u2013 what more do you need? This casual 4.5 star property is designed for relaxation by the beach.<\/p>\n

Moana Surfrider, a Westin Resort & Spa, Hawaii<\/a><\/h2>\n

This historic Hawaiian hotel dates back to 1901 and was the first hotel in Waikiki. A recent refurb has kept the hotel cutting edge, with a combination of modern meets traditional style.

QT Canberra, ACT<\/a><\/h2>\n

In case you haven’t heard, Canberra is cool again. The change has a lot to do with an influx of quirky design-focused hotels. At QT Canberra, the Capitol Bar and Grill is where it’s at. The profiteroles has a reputation of their own.<\/p>\n

The Plaza Hotel, New York<\/a><\/h2>\n

One of the world’s most iconic hotels has been returned to its former glory after a $400 million renovation. The chandeliers are back to their glittering selves and the rooms are works of art themselves.
