The Scarfes Bar has a Heroes and Villains-style cocktail menu with specially curated drinks with names like Diva and Foul Play.

When the sun shines, spritzes and Italian pizzas can be enjoyed on the Mediterranean terrace.

The other UK entry comes in 100th position and it’s Gleneagles in Auchterarder, Scotland.

The Beverly Hills Hotel is a Hollywood classic that featured on the cover of the Eagles album, Hotel California.

Found on Sunset Boulevard, the famous hotel is as LA as it gets – surrounded by palm trees with Barbie pink accents and even its own red carpet.

Rooms range from Hollywood glamour-style Superior Rooms to restored bungalows – one of which was a favourite of frequent guest, Marilyn Monroe.

There are over 100 Four Seasons hotels across the world and two have made the list.

The one in Hong Kong boasts views across the skyline and Victoria Harbour from a rooftop infinity pool.

It has three fine-dining restaurants and plenty of luxury touches.

Another private resort to make it onto the list is Soneva Fushi in the Maldives.

It’s found on an island called Kunfunadhoo in the Baa Atoll with huge villas, open-air bathrooms with plenty of experiences all arranged by a barefoot butler – shoes aren’t a thing here.

Hotel das Cataratas is the only luxury resort situated inside Brazil’s Iguazu National Park right next to Iguassu Falls.
