Samokatus Hotels

An ultra-chic design boutique hotel nestled in Athens' exclusive Kolonaki district, celebrated for its legendary, warm service and all-day complimentary snacks. While the standard rooms can feel cramped and dark, the luxury suites and Penthouse offer private rooftop jacuzzis with spectacular views of the Acropolis.

A historic hotel on Boulevard Haussmann, steps away from the Palais Garnier and major Parisian department stores. Guests highly praise the outstanding Executive Lounge and warm service, though weak air conditioning during summer heat remains a drawback. It is an ideal base for shopping lovers and Marriott Bonvoy elite members.

The Ritz‑Carlton Beijing (China Central Place) is a service‑driven luxury hotel beside high‑end malls and minutes from Dawanglu metro. Guests repeatedly single out individual staff members for outstanding care, and rooms are spacious and spotless though some decor shows age.
