Top 5: Hotels Literally Steps Away From Famous Landmarks

Résidence Charles Floquet

Live the French life in the best way possible, staying in a boutique hotel that offers a more apartment-style form of accommodation, rather than a regular hotel room. There are 16 options to choose from, ranging from one to four bedrooms, as well as a penthouse. Get the most bang for your buck with the classic 2-bedroom apartment option, which can fit five travelers, and has views of the Eiffel Tower in both the living room and the dining room. Your walk to see the landmark up close and personal? Four minutes.

Palazzo Manfredi

Five-star accommodations and a five-minute walk to the Colosseum? We’ll take it! The Palazzo Manfredi offers gorgeous guestrooms and suites with spectacular views. For some of the best, go with a master guestroom. The elegant decor mixes textures such as marble and velvet, and the color palette is soft and warm — the perfect place to relax and kick up your feet after a few days of exploring Rome on foot.

Brickyard

You’re practically staying right on top of the Great Wall of China at Brickyard. There are 25 guestrooms in the main building, but another nine luxury villas nearby. The theme throughout is peace and quiet, and you’ll find your guestroom does not have a telephone or television (though free WiFi is provided). Each is small, but the decor is totally eclectic (and, as you’d imagine, lots of brick is found throughout). The deluxe queen is the best bet for a budget, as there are unobstructed views of the Great Wall, private terraces and even views from the rainforest shower.

London Marriott Hotel County Hall

In less time than it took to read this article, walk to not one, but two iconic London landmarks — Big Ben and the London Eye. The London Marriott Hotel County Hall is right on the River Thames, and offers 5-star accommodations, dining and amenities. Choose a room with a Big Ben view, and enjoy the beautiful decor, high ceilings and spacious sitting areas.

The Royal Livingstone

Right on the Zambezi River, you have easier access to Victoria Falls than you’ve ever thought possible. While the guestrooms are great, the deck and pool have views of the Falls. Plus, the hotel offers all the other amenities you’d want during an African excursion, such as safaris, elephant treks, river cruises and more.
