Lacroix, Louboutin, Chanel, Dior, Fendi – there’s now a dazzling choice of designer hotels and branded suites to choose from around the world so if you’re planning a weekend break, better make it fashion, darling!

Dior Spa, The Royal Scotsman

The world’s first train spa carriage is something to get excited about, and if it’s a collaboration between Belmond’s Royal Scotsman and Dior then we’re practically swooning. This summer you’ll be able to board the luxe sleeper train from London to the Scottish Highlands and book a pampering sesh in the Dior Spa’s lacquered treatment rooms (the tailor-made D-Travel body massage including semi-precious hot stones sounds dreamy). Post-massage, sit down to a gourmet meal courtesy of award-wining chef Tom Kitchen before tucking up in your comfy bed while epic scenery rolls by. 

Bulgari Hotel Roma, Rome 

Opening on 9 June, Bulgari’s latest hotel (others include Bali, London and LA) lies on Piazza Augusto Imperatore and will have 114 suites, swanky spa and even a fancy pants reading room dedicated to the history of jewellery. Premier Inn this is not. 

Hotel Vermelho by Christian Louboutin, Portugal 

Muddy Stilettos is, naturally, a fan of the legendary shoe designer so it goes without saying we’ll be booking into this new opening asap. Set in cool coastal resort Melides, 90 minutes from Lisbon, the thirteen bedrooms come with white walls, tiled floors, eye-catching furniture (one room has a rattan table shaped like a monkey) and flashes of red, just like his signature soles. Xtian restaurant serving local delicacies like octopus salad and pork with clams, spectacular gardens, a peaceful roof terrace, ornate bar and petite spa (a treatment cabin for two) complete the magic.

Royal Suite by Gucci at The Savoy, London

Last year the Savoy hotel joined forces with Gucci to transform its famous fifth-floor Royal Suite and the results were sensational, from the monogrammed carpets to the four-poster bed and tiered chandeliers. It’s so plush there are Bulgari toiletries in the marble and polished wood bathrooms and Gucci chocolates dotted around – if you fancy anything else, from cocktails to afternoon tea, order and they’ll appear. *Sigh* 

Suite Coco Chanel at The Ritz, Paris

Lucky Coco actually lived at The Ritz for more than 30 years (as you do) and the suite’s as tasteful as you’d hope, think black, white and beige colour palette, soaring ceilings and gilt-framed mirrors. Photos of the designer adorn the walls and the bathrooms are heavenly, including vanity tables laden with Chanel products. Chic retreat overload.

Fendi Private Suites, Rome 

After flexing the credit card in Fendi’s flagship store on Via Dei Condotti, why carry bags around when you could simply check into Fendi Private Suites above? It might sound like a Kardashian-style fantasy but the seven polished suites with black and white photos of Karl Lagerfeld, curved sofas and shelves filled with books on fashion really do exist. At the very least take a load off in the rooftop restaurant. 

Hôtel Du Petit Moulin by Christian Lacroix, Paris 

Tucked away in the Marais, this charming hotel’s lavish interiors are all created by fashion designer Christian Lacroix. We love the Boulangerie exterior, 60s bar furniture, polka-dot carpets and Baroque, Rococo and Couture themed rooms. Magnifique. 

Armani Hotel Milano, Milan 

Minimalist designer hotel, where neutral furnishings are predominantly a tasteful Armani-esque beige – Muddy wouldn’t want to spill a glass of red wine here. It could be dull, but it’s actually really calming, and besides there’s an eighth-floor spa, onyx cocktail bar and Michelin-starred restaurant to keep things entertaining. 

Palazzo Versace, Australia

Talk about the Midas touch, even the columns are gold at this palatial waterfront hotel on the Gold (apt) Coast which has an abundance of polished parquet floors, Italian marble bathrooms, bespoke Versace furnishings and custom made toiletries. Don’t miss the Couture High Tea with cocktails and cakes or lying on the poolside Versace fabric-covered daybeds (though try not to get quite as tanned as Donatella). 

Round Hill by Ralph Lauren, Jamaica 

Celeb hot spot (Harry and Meghan checked into Cottage 16!) with 36 oceanfront suites designed by Ralph Lauren and decorated with furnishings from his Home collection. Yes it’s honeymoon-tastic, with white stone floors, four-poster beds made of bamboo with Egyptian cotton sheets and freestanding rain showers.
