We found the London hotel with incredible views where celebs stay before events
We checked in to this popular central London hotel to see why it's so popular – with celebrities and 'regular' travellers alike – and discovered spacious rooms and amazing views First impressions when you enter London Hilton on Park Lane, on the edge of Hyde Park, are certainly grand ones, with a glitzy lobby filled with velvet sofas and human-sized bouquets of fresh flowers to greet you. Despite this clearly being a big corporate hotel (there was at least one conference going on when we stayed), the service is super friendly and personal, from the welcome at reception to the cute note from housekeeping on our pillow with the turn down. Lots of guests were obviously repeat visitors, and staff greeted them – and first-timers like us – like old friends. We're told Academy Award-winning actor Susan Sarandon recently stayed here, as did Maura Higgins to get ready before this year's TV BAFTAs. The rooms at London Hilton on Park Lane We were lucky enough to be put in the recently refurbished Executive Park Lane Suite, a huge space on the 25th floor featuring a lounge area, separate bedroom and dressing room, and incredible views out over Hyde Park, with the Serpentine twinkling in the middle. We were particularly taken by the window seat and super-comfy bed, and the large marble bathroom with two sinks, separate bath and shower, and Molton Brown toiletries. If your budget stretches to it, it's a real luxury to have so much space in the city centre, and feels like London's version of a luxury apartment in New York City, overlooking Central Park. One big perk for those staying in an Executive Room or any of the 56 suites is access to the hotel's Executive Lounge, where breakfast is served in the mornings, and drinks and snacks between 5pm-7pm in the evenings – and there's a wide selection, with no limits on the wines, beers, soft drinks and snacks. You could basically dine out here if you so wished. The food atLondon Hilton on Park Lane Instead, however, we headed downstairs for dinner at the hotel's Park Corner Brasserie, a modern British eatery serving elevated classics. Although not a huge number of options for vegetarians, we loved our cabbage and sweetcorn frittata, and there were loads of grill dishes to choose from. Our personal highlight came at the end of the meal with a trio of creme brulées, each one more delicious than the last. How much does it cost to stay atLondon Hilton on Park Lane? Rooms at London Hilton on Park Lane start from £459 for a Twin Guest Room.

Hotel Review: Bahia Del Duque, Tenerife
Set on the Costa Adeje, the lively and scenic southern coast of Tenerife, Bahia Del Duque is a sprawling five-star hotel with five swimming pools, ten restaurants, an impressive state-of-the-art spa and direct access to a white sandy beach. Rooms and facilities At over 100,000m², this is a large resort and it feels like a mini village with its turreted buildings, lush gardens, courtyards, restaurants and pools. There are 346 rooms and 40 more private villas, many with a sea view. As such, there's a wide offering of accommodation, with the most expensive option being Las Villas, which deliver more privacy and more modern luxurious design. Our room was in the main hotel and was comfortable, clean and well appointed with TV, minibar, balcony and a generous bathroom. The terracotta floor nodded to Spanish style and the bathroom goodies were Molton Brown. There is a lot on offer here. Think tennis, paddle and squash courts, Pitch and Putt and nightly entertainment in the main square. Spa facilities Here is a real surprise: this traditional resort houses an incredibly impressive cutting-edge spa. Designed by industry legend Susan Harmsworth, it has an outdoor thalassotherapy pool surrounded by sun loungers — a calm oasis offering a serene alternative to the hotel's pools. Treatment rooms are luxurious and spacious, and the standard of therapists is very high. It also houses a fitness centre, reformer Pilates studio, a beauty salon for hair services and mani/pedis. Food and drink With thirteen bars and lounges and ten restaurants (Nub is Michelin-starred), there's a lot of choice. Choosing the half-board option is a great money-saver, but does limit you to certain restaurants, and it's worth knowing that some dishes on the menu carry a surcharge. We ate at The Brasserie Terrace and had a great Chateaubriand (which had a surcharge of around 9 euros a head). Another night we ate good Italian-style food at La Trattoria. The Alisios Market Food was our least favourite option. Breakfast is a real triumph. Providing hundreds of guests with good service is no mean feat, but friendly, helpful staff make it a pleasurable experience. They are constantly replenishing, tidying and serving, which means you aren't waiting too long. And there really are options to suit everyone — from healthy to indulgent. There's also a children's club and a teen area. Highlights The hotel is right on the seafront and you can walk for miles in either direction, with plenty of bars and cafés to refresh in. It's also only twenty minutes from the airport. What to do nearby Apart from the buzzy beach, there is the Plaza Del Duque shopping centre which has a host of designer labels. Or book a whale- or dolphin-spotting boat trip. We also went to Zambra Sky Bar at the nearby GF Victoria Hotel, where the panoramic views make it a great spot for sundowners. Best for? Families, those wanting an easy 'fly and flop' break with guaranteed sunshine, couples wanting a romantic break.

Smooth and spice-spiked, Molton Brown's Re-charge Black Pepper collection of luxurious fragrances, bath and home essentials is a go-to gift for the fun-loving adventurer in your life Equal parts spice, swagger and sophistication, Molton Brown's famed Re-charge Black Pepper collection is for the gent (or gentlewoman) who enjoys their daily routine shaken with a twist of adventure. The collection evokes images of savannah grass canyons and off-road adventures mingled with whiffs of vetiver, cardamom and black pepper. If Indiana Jones bottled his charisma, it would probably smell like Re-charge Black Pepper—confidence in a bottle. Whether scaling the metaphorical mountain of emails or conquering the grocery run like a gladiator, this scent is the ultimate aromatic sidekick for the modern-day go-getter and it's hitting all the right notes. Distributed in Malaysia by luxury retailer Valiram, Molton Brown has been a staple of sensorial self-care for the discerning, with the Re-charge Black Pepper collection a fast favourite among fans. Read more: Editor's Picks: Our favourite fragrances of 2024 Above The perfect Father's Day gift, Recharge Black Pepper incorporates hints of piquant pepper, nuances of bergamot and the zesty bite of myrtle pepper Crafted by legendary Grasse-born perfumer Jacques Chabert (the brains behind Molton Brown's most recognisable creations) the fragrance is inspired by what he calls 'the bold spirit of adventure' and his lifelong passion for 'bridging the chasm between citrus and woody fragrances.' Recharge Black Pepper opens with a thrilling shot of piquant pepper, softened by nuances of bergamot and intensified by the zesty bite of myrtle pepper. 'The dry-down reveals its voluptuous oakmoss and woody depth,' Chabert adds, like a fine suit that surprises you with secret pockets. Above Re-charge Black Pepper was created by legendary Grasse-born perfumer Jacques Chabert If, like Chabert, you believe in the power of scent in making a lasting impression and that perfume is a tool of self-expression, you'll appreciate the dedication and meticulous crafting that went into this collection all the more. Interestingly, the Re-Charge Black Pepper fragrance began simply as Chabert's personal fragrance in 2001—since becoming a best-selling range that's timeless and desirable. The range delivers a sensorial expedition in three acts: Cleanse with the invigorating Bath and Shower Gel, wear the Eau De Parfum with earthy vetiver and herby coriander at its heart, or live the scent fully with a home diffuser that turns any home into a gentleman's lodge in the Scottish Highlands (imagination required, whisky optional). See also: How working out transforms your skin Available in everything from the full-sized Eau De Parfum, an indulgent bath and shower gel or a travel-friendly 7.5ml spray, this collection makes an impeccable Father's Day gift—the kind you'll want to 'borrow' for yourself every once in a while. So whether you're honouring Dad, a father figure, or just treating yourself to something deliciously daring, make it Re-charge Black Pepper. Self-care needn't always smell like roses—it should smell like a wild, spice-laced off-road trek with oakmoss at the wheel and pepper in the driver's seat. Visit to get a head start on your gift-hunt and explore more luxurious Molton Brown collections this June. Credits
