The Leading Hotels of the World has welcomed four new member hotels to its portfolio. The latest additions are properties that are new openings of have undergone significant renovations, and include Leading’s first Qatar-based offering, a stylish London townhouse, a holistic wellbeing retreat in Chiang Mai and an arty, Art Deco hotel in Vancouver.

Having a London townhouse sounds rather posh, but it’s a lot of hard work – cleaning all the stairs from one floor to another and so on. Owning such a home is also a continuous drain on the money supply. Staying in someone else’s London townhouse, however, is a completely different story. It’s divine, particularly if it’s The Adria.
