Wish you w€re here

THERE’S not much point in being loaded with cash if you don’t spend it.

If, like me, your new year’s resolution is to win the big lottery jackpot, then it’s best to have spending plans.

Fair enough, a stay in even a one-star hotel would feel pretty luxurious compared to doing the washing-up, laundry and cleaning the shower. But it is possible to aim a bit higher — hotels that are the crème de la crème of places to lay your head, and you can sleep soundly knowing that every second spent there is money spent.
