The Easter hols are over, spring is officially here and April’s new arrivals have landed just in time for you to pick your next break. This month’s all about the ultimate European city break. From beers in Bucharest and shopping in Sliema to checking out the arty scene in Tirana and strolling around historic Krakow. Sound like a bit of you? We’ve picked out four of this month’s hot new hotels we think you’ll love.
Let’s meet April’s new arrivals…
When you don’t have to pick between classic and super modern…
Located in Bucharest’s historic old town, Moxy Bucharest Old Town is right by some of the city’s top attractions, like Stavropoleos Monastery and Royal Palace Square. But, when you step inside the hotel, there’s nothing old about it. Think modern, think edgy, think urban. We’re talking concrete walls, sleek metal accents, playful writing and drawings on the walls. You’ll find the rooms are simple but stylish with leather chairs, lights behind the comfy beds and quirky artwork. And, for all the best food and cheap beers, head into town or it’s cocktails and snacks at the hotel’s chic bar – it’s open 24/7, so you don’t have to worry about rushing to get ready.
When you don’t have to pick between style and a great location
Get to know one of Europe’s most underrated cities at the Arté Boutique Hotel in Tirana. This buzzing capital is often left in the shadows of some of your more classic cities, but don’t sleep on it because Tirana in Albania is quickly becoming the ultimate city break destination. You’ll be staying right in the heart of the lively capital – popular spots like Skanderbeg Square and the Pyramid of Tirana are just a short walk away – and this place isn’t your usual city centre hotel either. This super stylish pick has sleek rooms with gorg balconies overlooking the city or the serene garden, plus beautiful artwork throughout. There’s also a handy bar, restaurant and café.
When you don’t have to pick between the beach and the pool…
Meet Palazzo Violetta, where you can easily switch between days lounging by the pool to topping up your tan on the sand. You’ll be in a peaceful location, just a short walk from the heart of Sliema – a buzzing coastal town in Malta that’s full of shops, bars and restaurants – plus St Julian’s beaches are within walking distance, too. With a location this good, you can easily pack in all the best bits. This boutique pick has a homely feel, with stylish rooms featuring neutral tones, while the traditional tiles and stone walls add to the hotel’s rustic charm. The pool area is definitely the star of the show here, and a gorg sun terrace with a pool bar means midday cocktails ofc. If chilling by the pool isn’t relaxing enough, you can also book a massage for some real pampering.
When you don’t have to pick between traditional and luxury…
Live like a royal at the five-star H15 Luxury Palace in beautiful Krakow. Think fancy chandeliers, boujie velvet sofas and stunning marble-topped tables. Spend your days wandering the city’s charming streets and buzzing market square just a five-minute walk away and explore the city’s main sights like St Mary’s Basilica and the Rynek Underground Museum. When you need a bit of me-time, indulge at the hotel spa that has an indoor pool, sauna and hot tub. Or if you fancy switching things up, you can relax in the unique beer baths while enjoying a cold local brew.
