Name Dropping: William and Kate’s Hotel Haunts
The newest royal couple is really big on travel. In fact, since the beginning of their courtship, they have taken many publically documented trips together. Bouncing all over Europe, yachting through the Caribbean, safaris in Africa, and touring extensively throughout North America have been on their agenda over the past few years. Even as the duo live their individual lives with commitments such as work and military duty, they have always made time for indulgently adventurous vacations.
Since their widely broadcasted nuptials, Prince William and Kate Middleton have stayed in some pretty extraordinary hotels. On the Duchess’ last night as a single woman, she had the privilege of staying at the top floor “Royal Apartment” of London’s exclusive Goring Hotel. Joined by her mother and sister, Pippa, the suite was the perfect haven to indulge and relax in before her whirlwind wedding. 100 years old, this hotel has long been known for its quaint English charm, intimate setting, and lavish décor. Situated directly in the center of London, the service here is nothing short of regal.
After their wedding, the royal couple embarked on a journey through North America, where they visited landmarks and National Parks. When Wills and Kate arrived in Canada, they busied themselves with cultural activities, and awesome outdoor excursions like traditional canoeing, and even spending a day at the Calgary Stampede rodeo. Like the true world citizens they are, the Duke and Duchess donned total Western outfits for the day, including ten-gallon hats. During their stay, rather than vacation like tourists, they opted for more enriching accommodations that included Rideau Hall, the residence of Canada’s Governor General. When they departed for Montreal, the spent their next night on the naval vessel, HMCS Montreal, as it cruised the St. Lawrence River.
When they hit Los Angeles, they made sure to really get their fill of Hollywood glamour. They stayed at the fabulous Beverly Hills Hotel, in the beautiful Presidential Suite. Over 1,900 square feet of luxury, a private kitchen, no shortage of elegant wood furnishings and marble accents, a Jacuzzi tub, a gas fireplace, and a private balcony that overlooks the LA skyline are some of the features this suite is equipped with.
Not everyone can travel like the royal couple does. However, if you are looking for a fantastic five-star hotel, filled to the brim with amenities and perks, booking with WhataHotel! will definitely fulfill your appetite for extravagant accommodations. Whether you are globe-trotting like Wills and Kate, or just planning a simple vacation, our exclusive relationships with the world’s best hotels allows us to extend the advantages to you!

When Fashion and Hotels Collide
Luxury fashion and luxury travel seem to go hand in hand. For the most discriminating globetrotter, hotels are much more than a place to drop the bags and crash. Being surrounded in the digs produced by international fashion royalty, these are simply some of the most gorgeous hotels you could stay in throughout the world.
The Bvlgari name has long held great prestige as far as jewelry goes. In 2001, they partnered with the Ritz Carlton brand as one of the first fashion labels to partner with a major hotelier to create a super brand. The luxury is limitless in these hotels, which span the planet, allowing any traveler the availability of unsurpassed quality, service, and style wherever they may roam. From the streets of Milan to coasts of Bali, posh surroundings in exceptional taste are never too far away.
Claridge’s in London is one of the finest luxury spots anywhere in the world. When Diane Von Furstenberg, a literal goddess in the world of fashion, decided to spread her wings into hotel territory, she certainly pushed the limits of her own creativity. In her designs, she spared no detail. Claridge’s is a hotel known for their great influence in the world of art. Located in the Mayfair district of London, and a part of the legendary Art Deco hotel, when you stay here you are in very close proximity to London’s best shopping centers, as well as Hyde Park. The lovely Ms. Von Furstenberg put her signature style on everything she touched within the suites she designed. For the fashion mogul, this interior undertaking was an entirely new venture, and it is safe to say that she passed with flying colors and vibrant prints!
It does not require much guesswork to understand the beauty of Florence’s Hotel Lungarno. Originally built in the 17th century, the brilliant Ferragamo family restored the property to bear a very understated elegance. Rich in classical Italian elegance, with a prominent international flair, the style in this hotel has no limits. Worth the visit alone is the amazing collection of modern art, which includes originals by such masters as Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau.
If you are craving a stylish place to stay, nothing will beat the opulence of a hotel done by one of fashion’s legends. The combination of amenities and the unbelievable perks will sweep you off your feet!
