1. W London – Leicester Square
There should be a picture of England during the holidays next to “festive” in the dictionary. Just steps from both theatreland and Soho’s electric nightlife scene, this Leicester Square location is a picture-perfect spot for catching a Christmas show and toasting the New Year. Bonus: Fido doesn’t have to miss out – the hotel is dog-friendly.

5. W Retreat & Spa – Vieques Island
Pristine beaches. Exceptional service. This undiscovered Caribbean paradise is all about R&R. It may be just eight miles off the coast of mainland Puerto Rico, but it feels like a world away. Reset your body and mind in the AWAY Spa, then up your Vitamin D intake on the sands. The saying “new year, new you” has never been more true.
