As we approach summer travel, is London, Turkey, or the Amalfi Coast on your vacation radar?

Perhaps this is the summer that all three find a way on to your travel bucket list.

Let’s take a look at the best hotels whether you’ve set your vacation sites on Soho, beachfront on the Aegean Sea, or the Amalfi Coast.

Broadwick Soho | London, UK

This stunning and eclectic property, located in London’s Soho neighborhood, opened this past November with a blow-out party and hasn’t slowed since.  The 57-room boutique hotel styled by acclaimed interior designer and architect Martin Brudnizki, is home to a curation of artworks by luminary creators such as Francis Bacon, Bridget Riley, Eizabeth Peyton, Andy Warhol, and William Turnbull, alongside vintage relics and exciting works by emerging female artists Faye Wei Wei, Casey Moore, Amber Pinkerton and Chica Seal.

Host to a lively rooftop bar called Flute frequented by local creatives, the opulent and refined Italian dining concept Dear Jackie, the street level café bar and terrace Bar Jackie, Broadwick Soho encompasses the rare intersection between the neighboring community and engaged travelers.  The result is an ever-evolving, buzzy atmosphere emblematic of Soho’s historic spirit.

Guests of the hotel are invited to enjoy a private lounge called The Nook, and retreat to their choice of room, each vibrant and whimsically decorated, with warm and inviting touches.
