one question i raised that i dont think came up here in past is "any historic?" ("important in history") luxury hotels

and of course when most regulars here use "luxury hotels" it is different from how general public uses "luxury hotels"

thread idea was thinking less in terms of historical facades etc and more in terms of hotels that spend a lot to maintain history

things like 'best' and 'most luxurious' and 'most historical' i think are too simplified, but not totally without utility

those i mentioned were actual 'palaces' , i dont even recall how i came across the largest palace wikipedia page
- versailles - obviously totally unique hotel experience
- taj - very well regarded here, can be similar to aman
- ciragan - palace having only 11 rooms is unique

Nicest/best hotel room/suite you've stayed in >
