Andaz London Liverpool Street - a Concept by Hyatt

Great stay in a stylish heratiage building

"Living in London, I’m always on the hunt for a staycation spot that actually feels like an escape without leaving the city. I recently checked into the Andaz, and the first thing that hits you is the sheer 'vastness' of the place. It’s got a scale to it that feels grand but still super welcoming. My room was beautiful, I’m a sucker for high ceilings, and these really gave the space a premium, airy feel. As someone who keeps a busy schedule, a good hotel gym is a non-negotiable for me, and the one here is awesome. I loved the..."

"Since I was here on a staycation, I already know and love London’s endless energy, but staying at the Andaz puts you in a prime position. You’re right on the doorstep of some of the best places to eat, drink, and party in the city. I felt completely comfortable throughout my stay; it’s a very inclusive environment where you can just be yourself. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or a basecamp to explore the local queer scene, this hotel hits that perfect middle ground."

NEXT Hotel Madeira - Portugal

Exceptional Food and Modern Design in Madeira

"The food at Next Hotel is a major highlight, delivering excellent taste and variety. The property offers a sleek, modern architectural aesthetic that is very stylish. Because the hotel grounds are integrated into lush local flora, you might encounter a few native ants in the room or find the rooftop service pace relaxed during quiet evenings, but the baseline comfort and design make it a great coastal base."

"I felt completely safe and accepted throughout my time at the property. The hotel has a very relaxed, open vibe that is highly accommodating to international travelers from the community looking for a modern getaway."
