St. Moritz, UK Style
It shares the same champagne-glam as its exclusive Swiss namesake but instead of powder and peaks, you’ve got sand and sea: Cornwall’s sophisticated St. Moritz hotel has been resurrected into an art deco wonder, with sweeping staircases, landscaped gardens and brilliant blue beach views from its swish suites. But it’s not just for the cocktail set - the 5-star apartments make this the perfect place for an upmarket family holiday. There’s a Cowshed spa for Mum, a buzzy restaurant-bar for Dad, just don’t forget the bucket and spades for the kids. |
