Gourmet Traveller checks out the stylish new hotels worth splurging on in London, Rome, Singapore, Madrid, Sao Paulo and New York City.

A night here means sleeping in an actual Belle Epoque palace, next to the Prado Museum. After a two-year overhaul and two years of closed borders, the grand dame is back on top of our to-do list. The Londoner calls itself "the world's first super boutique hotel", and on our inspection the elegant Leicester Square five-star stay is a glamorous toe dip into the luxe London life.
