"This revamped Regent Street landmark combines fin de siècle opulence with streamlined modernity. There are subtle references to its storied past—vases filled with tulips are a silent salute to Oscar Wilde, who once drank so much absinthe in the Grill Room that he hallucinated he was cavorting in a field of the flowers. The Grill Room has been turned into a bar, and its opulent gilt and mirrors have been sexed up with a frankly immodest blush of red furnishings. Recover your composure downstairs at the Akasha spa, which specializes in watsu aquatic-massage treatments. Price: Rooms from around $917 per nightAddress: 10 Air St, London W1B 5ABClosest tube station: Piccadilly Circus" - Condé Nast Traveller, Steve King
