When it comes to shopping, I’m a huge cheerleader for the high street. In fact, as much as I love to invest in designer buys, I get more satisfaction from buying something that looks really expensive, but wasn’t, and that I can wear on repeat without feeling too precious about it.

It is the only hotel in Switzerland - and the only mountain hotel anywhere - to make it on the list (which includes industry-defining hotels from 35 different locations across six continents worldwide). If you’re on the lookout for a beautiful ski hotel, this one truly makes the grade. So what makes it so special? We sent writer Georgie D’Arcy to find out...Arri…

For many in the industry, it didn’t come as a surprise to learn that Passalacqua in Lake Como had been named the best hotel in the world at the inaugural hotel edition of the ‘50 Best’ list. (Fittingly, the ceremony was held in one of the most anticipated openings in London of the past few years: Raffles at the Old War Office.) First place may have gone to Italy, but six hotels in the UK ranked within the 50, including four in the capital: Claridge’s, the Connaught, NoMad and the Savoy. Elsewher…
