During a brief stop in New York, I stay at Tempo by Hilton New York Times Square to be close to the Broadway action and to test out my Hilton Honors Gold perks.

With an American Express Platinum (or Centurion) Card, there’s a great-value stay through the Fine Hotels & Resorts program. I pay just $590 for three nights at The Langham Melbourne, with many perks included.

This family-friendly resort nevertheless offers plenty for couples and groups without children to do – especially up in the Club InterContinental area which dials up the privacy and ‘wow’ factor.

For a short three-night stay in London, I choose the Hotel Indigo London Paddington, conveniently located near the eponymous train station and Elizabeth Line link to Heathrow Airport.

Novotel Perth Murray Street ticks most of the boxes for both business and leisure travellers venturing to the west coast. As I discover, the perks are also quite good for elite members of Accor Live Limitless.

Wonil Hotel Perth, a Handwritten Collection hotel, marks Accor’s latest venture into bespoke boutique accommodation. Here’s a look inside from a recent stay.

Singapore is a showcase of shopping, sightseeing and business opportunities. But whatever brings you here, the city’s newest Hilton has you covered.

With a rooftop pool and bar, the airside Aerotel transit hotel is a relaxing oasis at Singapore Changi Airport when you’ve got a long wait in between flights.

Sleeping in the airport takes on a new meaning as we spend a night at the new Aerotel transit hotel at Sydney International Airport.
