11/05/2007 10:11 a.m.
21. Grand Hotel Bohemia, Prague, Czech Republic - This great hotel is far from the busy crossroads and crowded streets, in the very heart of the Old Town with its narrow little streets, copious amounts of architectural monuments, churches, enchanting corners and romantic restaurants. In the 1920s Josef Steiner chose this location in the immediate vicinity of the famous Art Nouveau Municipal House and the Powder Gate for construction of a new luxury hotel in order to establish a dignified accommodation facility for foreign clientele. Prague has changed over the past 80 years but Grand Hotel Bohemia has kept its prestige. This hotel offers 78 newly renovated rooms with modern fittings and elegant design. The dark wooden furniture in combination with light and bright colours creates an impression of airiness and elegance, accompanied by the most up-to-date amenities. Honeymooners will likely choose
one of the 500 square foot suites on the 8th floor, offering a breath taking and romantic view over the Old Town and Prague Castle. The romantic atmosphere of the rooms is enhanced by the triangular windows and steep ceiling angles.
22. Grand Hotel Et De Milan, Milan, Italy - This magnificent luxury hotel is set in the heart of the city just steps from the world renowned La Scala Opera House, Il Duomo and the Financial Quarter. Most of the greatest Milanese museums are within strolling distance, as well as the Royal Palace, the Galleria and the Artists Quarter. Each room and suite has its own special decor: 19th Century, Liberty or Art Deco. Most of the suites are named after the celebrities who have stayed there, and honeymooners will likely opt for the grand opulence of the Giuseppe Verdi Suite where the great composer spent many happy days, or the Maria Callas Suite where the famous opera singer loved to reside. Innovative and Classic Italian cuisine can be found at Caruso or Don Carlos Restaurants, both in the highest echelons of Lombardy's culinary honors.
23. Grand Hotel Europe, St. Petersburg, Russia - This amazing hotel has traditionally played host to celebrities from all over the world and from all walks of life. Pyotr Tchaikovsky spent his honeymoon here, and for Ivan Turgenev there was no better place in the whole of St. Petersburg. Grigori Rasputin dined here, as did George Bernard Shaw with Maxim Gorky. Dmitri Shostakovich played a sonata for Sergei Prokofiev in the latter's suite, and Elton John performed in L'Europe Restaurant. Former US President Bill Clinton stayed in the Lidval Suite. Actress Jane Fonda cooked her own food at the hotel, while Queen Elizabeth II praised the hotel's kitchen. The full grandeur of St. Petersburg at the turn of the century is preserved in the Presidential Suites, namely the Lidval Suite, Rossi Suite and Piano Suite. Furnished in classical style with antique oil paintings, clocks and decorative ornaments, these suites are the ultimate romantic honeymoon venues. For an even more romantic touch these historic suites are equipped with pianos since it was at the Grand Hotel Europe that young Dmitry Shostokovich played his sonata to Prokofyev. Savour this world of luxury and comfort with the one you love in one of the most romantic cities in the world.
24. Grand Hotel Wien, Vienna, Austria - This great hotel is famous for being at the very hub of Viennese social life for more than a century. The superlative spirit of Belle-Époque is clearly evident in the meticulous blend of the latest technologies and comforts. The Grand Hotel Wien offers a living reminder of the majestic age of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, combined with truly opulent accommodation for honeymooners who seek the very highest standards in elegance and taste. The hotel is ideally located on Kärntner Ring, only a stroll away from the Vienna State Opera, the famous Kärntner Strasse and the grandeur of St. Stephen's Cathedral. Honeymooners will opt for the Presidential Suite at a staggering 3200 square feet, which has been the host for UN Secretary Kofi Annan, Prince Takamado of Japan and other heads of state and celebrities.
25. Grand Hotel, Stockholm, Sweden - This historic hotel is Scandinavia's leading hotel which opened in 1874 and has an extensive and distinguished heritage. Honeymooners will select to stay in the breath taking 4,000 square foot Princess Lilian Suite whose interior has been inspired by Art Deco and no cost has been spared in order to create a superlative experience in a league of its own. The suite includes two spacious bedrooms; one in a warm Oriental colour scheme, the other in Scandinavian blue with nuances of grey. There is also a private cinema within the suite, with theatre seats for 12 people and equipped with special wooden panels to ensure optimal acoustics. There is even a fully equipped kitchen for those who wish to have a private lunch or dinner served in the suite. The library with all the office facilities you could ask for opens up to the spacious living room. There is comfortable lounge furniture, a grand piano, a large dining table and a bar. The two balconies offer an astounding view over the Royal Palace, the water and all corners of the city. The relaxation area, lit in a very pleasant way, has a roomy mosaic bath where the water flows freely onto the granite base. There are massage showers, a waterfall and classic wicker chairs to relax in. The especially designed scenario sauna offers light, sound and aroma therapy.
