All in Hotels
Neuhardenberg Castle Ensemble includes the castle itself, the castle park, which is one of the most beautiful in Germany, the former coach house, where the hotel is now housed, the former distillery, today the homestead, the Orangerie, two cavalier houses and its own church named after its builder Schinkel Church. The well-known Prussian architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781 – 1841) was also the one who rebuilt the castle in 1820 and created today's neoclassical form.
KAJ is actually not a hotel. But nor is it a houseboat. KAJ is something in between. A floating pod of Danish hygge crafted entirely of reclaimed materials. It is tucked away in a quiet part of the beautiful harbor of central Copenhagen, Denmark. With a direct view of the historic custom house (Toldboden) and a stone’s throw from several of Copenhagen’s wonderful tourist attractions, KAJ Hotel combines the perfect location with a unique residential experience.
After a night’s sleep on the soothing waves, you can make your own homemade porridge and coffee/tea (all provided by us) while watching the Copenhagen skyline from the balcony, dangling your feet in the clear water – or even taking a morning dip.
At KAJ Hotel, you get the charm of staying on a houseboat combined with Scandinavian design and the comfort of staying in a hotel. It is the very essence of Danish hygge.

The 3 restaurants offer exquisite culinary options, including greek and mediterranean dishes.
Parīlio, Paros
The affordable secret
Away from the buzz of better-known Greek Islands, Paros sits further out in the Cyclades – a neighbour to thrumming Santorini and party-happy Mykonos. Parīlio, which opened in 2019 on the north-east coast, has guestrooms set around a pool, with abstract art above the beds. There’s a clever restaurant, Mr E, on site, which puts an international spin on Greek favourites such as bream baked in lemon leaves with chickpea stew. It feels like a steal for the price (about £190 for a double room), and we named it one of the best new hotels in the world in our Hot List 2020.
Oku Kos
A cool, laidback summer hangout
Pure relaxation is difficult to find, but it’s near-impossible not to lean into the chilled-out vibe you feel immediately as you enter Oku’s open reception. Inspired by the relaxed Greek way of life, Oku aims to combine local culture with relaxation, and easily succeeds. Somehow there are 100 rooms in the hotel, but it feels more like 20; the property is wonderfully private, and Greek-style whitewashed buildings blend seamlessly into the open landscape. Guests can choose from rooms with private or semi-private pools (shared with two other rooms, but surprisingly personal), or opt for a larger villa with a roof terrace and sea views. Special mention to the showers, which are some of the best I’ve used in a hotel thanks to the strong waterfall current and moody, stone walls that lean into the minimal aesthetic.
Food at Oku, overseen by executive Chef Mark Vaessen, is impeccable and unapologetically Greek. Salads are topped with crumbly feta and tomatoes that burst in the mouth, while the tzatziki is so good it's impossible not to order a bowl at every meal. Take your dinners outside where you can watch the sunset – which sets over nearby Kalimnos and is guaranteed to be one of the most stunning you've seen – over the hotel's private beach, with a cocktail made at the bar in-hand.
