1. Palazzo Manfredi – Relais & Châteaux in Rome

The luxurious Palazzo Manfredi – Relais & Châteaux is everything you would want in a 5-star hotel. Located just steps from the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum, the hotel offers panoramic views from its terrace, as well as delicious cocktails and plenty of space to meet with friends, colleagues, or to relax by yourself.

When in Rome…you have to take a Colosseum tour. The structure is one of the most celebrated ruins of the great Roman Empire; it's where people would gather to watch revered gladiators in 100 days of feasts and games. The nearly 2000-year-old amphitheatre stands at the center of the city and remains one of the greatest architectural and engineering feats in history. Purchase a ticket and head from the Palazzo Manfredi - Relais & Châteaux straight to this wonder.

2. Hôtel Fouquet's Barrière in Paris

Hôtel Fouquet's Barrière is centrally located near the Champs-Élysées. Guests can enjoy the luxury hotel’s three bars, five restaurants, and stunning spa, in addition to a complimentary fifth night stay.

While in Paris, remember that the city isn’t only a center for classic art. It's also a food mecca. Impress all of your dinner guests with a personally curated meal cooked by private Chef Alexandre, complete with complimentary appetizers and butler service. Chef Alexandre is an expert in French cooking, and you can choose whether to enjoy a fresh market menu, an exotic discovery menu, or a tasting menu that has a little bit of everything. 

3. Townhouse Duomo in Milan

Check out the first (and only) luxury hotel located in Duomo Square. Townhouse Duomo faces the stunning Duomo Cathedral and features 14 uniquely decorated rooms and suites. The spaces exude comfort, innovative technology, and plenty of amenities. When you’re not out exploring Milan, Townhouse Duomo is the right way to relax in the city.

When you do venture out of the hotel, take a guided tour of the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Soak in legendary works of art and architecture by the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Donato Bramante. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to familiarize yourself with a World Heritage site that’s full of European history.

4. The Cliff Townhouse in Dublin

Dublin’s The Cliff Townhouse is both a Georgian boutique guesthouse as well as a restaurant. Lounge in luxury accommodations before enjoying delicious fare that spotlights sustainable and organic ingredients. Oh, and make sure to grab a glass of Guinness or Prosecco.

Then explore the beautiful city (which recently legalized same-sex marriage!) with the MasterCard Concierge app, which provides city guides, booking services and accomodations, and exclusive cardholder experiences.

5. Story Hotel Signalfabriken in Stockholm

Story Hotel Signalfabriken is a design hotel that features 83 rooms and a popular restaurant and bar. The hotel is near both Bromma and Arlanda airpots, as well the city center. In other words, it’s convenient for any traveler.
