Presidential SuiteFeeling the heat this summer? There’s no better way to chill out than with some premium pampering at one of the world’s most sumptuous hotels. And thanks to Luxury Hotels by Dnata’s tempting last-minute deals, you might even find you get more holiday than you bargained for.

Luxe London for less
With its magnificent 19th century architecture and seriously stylish interiors, The Milestone is London’s quintessential luxury boutique hotel. What’s more, The Milestone really does go the extra mile to deliver world class service to its customers – which is why it won the prestigious Condé Nast Traveller Award for Best British Hotel in 2008.

With individually designed guestrooms and suites that blend antique furnishings and rare artworks with the last word in discreet 21st-century technology, there’s no better place to unwind and admire stunning views of Kensington Palace and Hyde Park.

So why not use the extra time to discover more of London? Many of the city’s top attractions are right on your doorstep. Or perhaps splurge the money you’ve saved on a must-have purchase – some of the world’s most renowned boutiques are just a short hop away.

Finally, make sure you treat yourself to one of The Milestone’s traditional English cream teas or a dinner at Cheneston’s restaurant – it’s where in-the-know Londoners love to dine.

Until September, upgrade to a suite at The Milestone for just AED7,940 for two people for three nights, including breakfast and taxes.

H16Y8L0YAn alternative but equally stylish London address is Dukes Hotel, ideally located in the upmarket district of St James’s, Mayfair. Renowned for its warm, charming and discreet service, it’s not surprising that Dukes Hotel was a favourite with James Bond creator Ian Fleming whenever he was in town.

Recently renovated, Dukes Hotel has been given a touch of 21st century contemporary chic by the design team behind the award-winning One Aldwych, London and Carlisle Bay, Antigua, creating a look which is fresh, calm and sophisticated. The completely renovated and upgraded bedrooms and suites feature smart new interiors and up-to-the-minute key features such as ipod docking stations and flat screen TVs.

And should you wish to sample the cream of London’s culture and nightlife during your stay, simply ask Dukes’ expert concierge, Ian Steiger. One of the best connected in London, he’ll steer you to the capital’s most sought after spots.

Until September, take advantage of a very special rate of just AED1075 per room per night. This price includes taxes and breakfast.

Flights from Dubai to London Heathrow start from AED2080 on Qatar Airways (via Doha) or from AED2662 direct on Virgin Atlantic.

A brilliant break to Beirut
Experience the best of Beirut with a stay at the Habtoor Grand Hotel Convention Center & Spa. The hotel’s elegant rooms and suites all have dazzling mountain or city views but the breathtaking backdrop is just the start – in fact you may have trouble choosing between all the options to keep you entertained.

1223633504_17bedFor total relaxation, head to the hotel’s super-luxe Elixir Spa. Set across three floors, it’s a true pampering palace, offering a tempting selection of body wraps, facials and massages plus the first snow rooms in the Middle East. There’s also a heated outdoor swimming pool, hydro pool, a 100m jogging track and a state-of-the-art gym.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, you’ll discover a wide range of dining and entertainment options, from fine French cuisine to stylish live jazz at the highest bar in the Lebanon. Or if you want to discover more of Beirut’s famously vibrant nightlife, its buzzing restaurants and nightspots are right on the doorstep.

The Habtoor Grand is also perfectly placed for exploring many of the city’s leading attractions, including the famous Jeita Grotto, the bustling boutiques and restaurants of Kaslik and historic Byblos – thought to be the world’s oldest continually occupied town.

Throughout August, prices at the Habtoor Grand Hotel & Spa start from AED780 per person per night in an Executive Room, including taxes and breakfast.

Flights from Dubai to Beirut start from AED1769 on MEA.

Indulge in idyllic Italy
Finally, why not experience some of the world’s best cuisine, arts and culture – and boost your vitality with a super spa break to Italy.

Italy is famous for its fango mud treatments, which are reputed to have miraculous anti-ageing properties. In-the-know Italians also use fango to ease away stress, aches and pains.

Sample the marvellous mud for yourself at the elegant Abano Grand Hotel, in the spa town of Abano Terme. The luxurious hotel offers an extensive range of health and beauty facilities, including three thermal pools, reflexology, reiki; hydromassage and aromatherapy treatments.

Then, once you’ve recharged your batteries, enjoy delicious Italian cuisine, wander the picturesque streets of Abano Terme or perhaps discover more of the fascinating region. The film-set beauty of Venice is a highlight of any visit.
