A wonderful hotel in the wrong neighbourhood can shape a trip more than any room upgrade. A few questions make the choice easier.
Start with your plans
If you plan to walk between sights, choose a central, pedestrian-friendly area. If you plan day trips, pick a district near the main rail station or Metro line.
Examples from popular cities
- Paris: the Marais and Saint-Germain are walkable and atmospheric
- Rome: the historic centre, Monti and Trastevere put you close to the sights
- Istanbul: Sultanahmet suits first-time history lovers, Karaköy and Beyoğlu suit those who like cafés and nightlife
- Tokyo: Shinjuku and Tokyo Station are excellent transport hubs, while Asakusa has a traditional atmosphere
- Dubai: Downtown and the Marina are lively, and Deira and Bur Dubai are good value
Look at the details
Read recent guest reviews about noise and safety, check the distance to public transport and ask about breakfast, air-conditioning and airport transfer options.
