STYLISH Stays AZTEC HOTEL & SPA bristol Sometimes we all just need a retreat from the world, and the Aztec Hotel, with its lovely spa, fabulous dining options, comfortable rooms and family-friendly set up, makes it the perfect getaway for the whole gang. This is a family-friendly hotel, and that feeling of incusivity makes for a relaxing stay. Children are at the fore-front, even getting their own ‘V-I-little-P’ dressing gowns on arrival - meaning they can relax into their stay alongside mum and dad. You’ll also find lovely extras like eye masks and pillow spray in the room, to aid relaxation. The spa makes the Aztec a real destination - with a warming sauna to a relaxing hot tub, a steam room for deep breathing and finally a well-sized swimming pool for a refreshing dip and some lengths. Caudalie and TempleSpa treatments are available in the four relaxing treatment rooms, to really take your recharge to a new level. The lounge area is a great space to kick back in, with coffee and a paper - it is lovely to be able to take some time out to recharge in a comforting space. Make sure you don’t miss The Curious Kitchen - the Aztec’s wonderful restaurant. Executive Chef <strong>Mar</strong>c Payne has brought in a range of new techniques to expand on the expertise already shown in the kitchen. The team smoke, cure, pickle and preserve in-season meaning all year round the produce is at its best. The hotel showcases these new skills in masterclasses held every Saturday, were the chefs showcase their talents and share expert advice with guests. Whether you’re visiting for a spa day or a night away, you’re sure to check out feeling recharged. Rooms from £84 | Book direct at aztechotelbristol.co.uk Aztec W, Almondsbury, Bristol BS32 4TS MONDRIAN shoredich, london We know London has an inimitable buzz, and this is especially true in Shoreditch. Matching the energy of its setting, the Mondrian is the perfect city bolt-hole for your next adventure. The styling is contemporary and achingly cool - but importantly, very inviting. The standard king rooms make resplendently comfortable bases if your weekend is featuring lots of city exploration - or, if you plan to be more inert, the palatial penthouses would be the premium choice. All the rooms are equipped with lots of five-star luxuries, including delightful steam showers, a quirkily-stocked mini bar and plush beds for an excellent night’s sleep - a must when staying away from home. Breakfast is served on the rooftop - adjacent to the hotel’s crowning gem - its own rooftop pool. It has the same characterful furniture and artwork as the rest of the hotel - creating a lovely, light-filled space to enjoy. The hotel is perfectly placed to enjoy the best of Shoreditch and connections to the wider city - but with a fantastic gym, a pool, spa treatments and a wonderful atmosphere, you can find all you need within its walls. don’t miss - dining at bibo Located in the hotel and described as ‘a little piece of Andalusia in central London’, BiBo is a dining concept from chef Dani García, packing plenty of style and flavour. The tapas dishes are designed to be shared - make sure you order the porcini croquetas - crispy parcels of deliciousness filled with creamy umami mash.
