| Saigon |
InterContinental Hotel Saigon recaptures the romance of a bygone era at The Library, their lounge and bar. Adorned with plush sofas and comfortable seating, The Library is a venue perfect for a quick cup of coffee over the morning paper or a chilled glass of chardonnay with Nicholas Sparks’ latest read after a day of work while the resident jazz band lets you travel back in time. Personalised service and a nostalgic afternoon tea with fresh-cut sandwiches will make this your go-to hangout as you dive into a time intensive read.

| Kimpton Hotel Monaco |
For an experiential experience:
The lobby of Kimpton Hotel Monaco – Washington DC is bursting with colour and chic design, and hosts a hub of social activity, including a nightly wine hour. The elegance-meets-whimsy style of the lobby leaves guests feeling like they never wanting to leave. With the green Murano glass chandeliers, and the vibrant green walls guests feel as though they’ve been transported back in time to an era of when imaginations ruled.
Our recommendation: Alice in Wonderland, C.S. Lewis

| InterContinental Lyon – Hotel Dieu |
For a historical epic:
For 800 years the site of the InterContinental Lyon – Hotel Dieu served as a hospital, now the newly opened hotel is a piece of historical and architectural artwork. Reading as the dusk sets-in in the lobby with the black timber panelling features, punctuated by golden wall lights to bring the historical city of lights inside. Another must-visit to curl up with a book is the hotel’s Grand Dome – standing at 105ft high the space hosts Le Dôme Bar, Paris’ premium hot-spot. The must-drink cocktail? The Dôme: a play on the famous pink praline, a traditional Lyon confectionery.
