WHERE: London, England
BUILT IN: 2004 and designed by owner, Kit Kemp
COOL DETAILS: Though upscale, the Soho Hotel doesn’t feel like the typical snooty stay. Instead, the rooms are meant to feel welcoming and cozy. Filled with different colors and textures, the bright interior design is a reflection of the hotel’s location in the middle of London’s vibrant entertainment neighborhood — did we mention that this is where all the great gay bars in London are?
Take Afternoon Tea in the drawing room, which is served with biscuits and cakes, or you can spend your day watching (new) movies in one of the personal screening rooms. Better yet, you can have the best of both worlds by joining their Film Club and combining both activities together.
PRICE: Starts at $450 a night for a standard double room and going up to $6,489 for the luxurious Terrace Suite. It may seem steep but it’s just a small price to pay to stay at what Tatler calls “the most glamorous hotel in the world.”

WHAT TO PACK: Silk lounge pants are perfect for when you’re taking advantage of the hotel’s screening room and transition easily to a nighttime outfit if you want to stop by its swanky Refuel Bar.
For wandering around London, keep it casual with printed tops paired with skirts or pants. You’ll also need a pair of shoes that can withstand the rain and keep dry with a cute umbrella.
