Feel like a movie star on vacation?
This is where you need to be
‘Feel like a movie star on vacation’ suddenly popped up in my inbox. From my lovely colleague Kiki who is currently sitting on the sands of Curaçao. Hey Kiek, just so you know: I’ve removed you from Instagram for the next three weeks. You’re doing fine. Can’t handle all those palm trees. But well, I may not be on vacation myself, feeling like a superstar, that I do want. Want to know where to go? Thanks to Booking.com, I now know where to find myself during my next vacation…
The Great Gatsby: The Plaza – New York
Want to relive the roaring 20’s? Book a few nights at The Plaza hotel and bring out your inner Gatsby and Daisy in this art-deco hotel within walking distance of Central Park and Fifth Avenue. Great idea for Fashion Week, what do you think May?
Bridget Jones: Stroke Park – Buckinghamshire
Prefer looking for something in the countryside? 300 acres of land to explore, a luxury spa, a 27-hole golf course, multiple tennis courts, and an award-winning restaurant. Be like Bridget and head to Buckinghamshire.
The Hangover: Caesar’s Palace – Las Vegas
I pass when it comes to a hangover just like Bradley Cooper and co in the movie, but are you in the mood for nights of gambling, dining in luxury, or pampering in an elegant spa? Caesar’s Palace is the place to be.
Quantum of Solace: Villas in Talamone I – Tuscany
Insert James Bond theme tune here. Order a martini, shaken not stirred, and completely unwind in this villa on a cliff in Tuscany.
The Sound of Music: Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron – Salzburg
The hiiiiiills are alive…in Salzburg. Have you ever wanted to experience what it’s like to be a ‘Von Trapp’ in a palace surrounded by mountains? It can be done, it can be done!
Lost in Translation: Park Hyatt Hotel – Tokyo
Want to enjoy the skyline of Tokyo just like Scarlett Johansson? Then I would say: come by this luxury five-star hotel in Tokyo. Dine on the 52nd floor and have cocktails with your love just like ScarJo and Bill Murray in their iconic bar.
Entourage: The Villa Sophia – Los Angeles
Look. This has Elke written all over it. A luxury villa in the Hollywood Hills with lots of A-list celebs around you. You can also throw an epic party à la the guys from Entourage.
Casino Royal: Grand Hotel Pupp – Karlovy Vary
Another one for the James Bond lovers. Vacation booked to the Czech Republic? Book a night at Grand Hotel Pupp (called Hotel Splendide in the movie). A game of poker with Le Chiffre won’t happen, so just order another martini and head to the spa. I say: sounds great.
Have a nice vacation in advance, will you send me a postcard?
