Luxembourg, Luxembourg

Hotel Albert Premier

Approaching the hotel itself, its dark palette of style-forward colors becomes obvious. The lobby, too, is sexy and intense – yet welcoming. Splashes of chrome and lighter woods adorn the hotel’s 40 rooms. Save for 10 of them, which were left in their traditional Old English garb after the latest renovation. Like nostalgia in the form of a floral bedspread? Then original is the way to go. Guests are encouraged to visit the spa, and spring for the 60-minute Detox Massage before venturing out for a night on the town. Might as well begin at your best, yes? If the weather is warm, head for the terrace, and enjoy pre-dinner drinks. After, dine at Pecci Ristorante, where Jean-Marc Tallone serves a menu that encompasses both Italian and Asian cuisine. The best of the world’s noodles in one sitting? Marvelous idea. No matter how late you stay out, make sure you’re back for breakfast. Fresh meats, cheeses, bread, and eggs make mornings easy to swallow.
