TemptingPlaces

Travel far away and book unique boutique hotels
with the guarantee of a website that intimately knows its hotels.

Our commitment: experience something unique with each hotel 

Our team is personally involved in choosing the hotels. When we decide to select a hotel, it is because it will allow you to live an experience. The Tempting experience is what makes the hotel exceptional. Swimming amid Singapore's skyline, sleeping in Francis Ford Coppola's villa in Belize, releasing baby turtles in Malaysia's South-East China sea, choosing the colour of your room in Hong Kong, experiencing a carbon neutral hotel in Shanghai, taking Mexican cooking lessons in Peubla (Mexico) ...

A very exclusive and fully independent selection

During the thorough research phase and on-site visits, we evaluate the boutique hotels against criteria such as geographic location, hotel character, charm, and authenticity. We attach great importance to hotels that are active in the preservation of the environment and that participate in the promotion of the local culture and history. We select only hotels that resonate with the TemptingPlaces values.

On line booking directly with the hotel

TemptingPlaces enables simple and safe booking of hotels on the other side of the world. Our reservation system and on-line payment system is secure and preserves your personal data privacy.

Your booking is made directly with the hotel through our partner and with no booking fee.
To confirm and guarantee your reservation, you will be asked to pay a deposit. Some hotels with very few rooms may ask you for a full down payment of the stay. See our terms and conditions for more information.

Advantages, exclusive tariffs and special packages

By booking through Temptingplaces.com, you will enjoy exclusive advantages reserved to our customers only. Depending on the hotels and the country, you will benefit from welcome presents, upgrades, and other delicate attentions. The proposed prices are always at least as beneficial as the Best Available Rates - these are the hotel's best internet Rates - and we propose exclusive and privileged Rates only available to TemptingPlaces' customers.

Through our website we also propose exclusive packages that we have imagined together with the hotel in order to offer you the most original and tailor-made stays.

Thorough and personally commented descriptions and web reportages

We take great care to describe and personally comment our hotels so that you can make the right choice and avoid bad surprises. Our hotel pages also contain dynamic links to web reportages about the hotel, its themes, and a condensed list and resume of suggested nearby touristic spots. We put a lot of attention to culinary experiences and you can discover the restaurants, their chiefs, and their favourite recipes! 

Search by themes or by destinations

Searching for a hotel has been simply made simple! TemptingPlaces facilitates finding a hotel by destination, by theme, or both.

For a business trip, look out for hotels in the «Urban» and «Business» portfolios. If you are tempted by a wellness or relaxation experience then look through our «Spa» and «Golf» collection.

Clients review

Benoît CORDONNIER – Showroom director – HOULES

"I discovered TemptingPlaces in an article from the Figaro that presented different ways to travel.
During my career I travelled a lot, and I thus know the concept of boutique hotel quiet well and I quickly realized that this one was very little known by French people.

For my holidays and travel I’m looking for hotels that do not resemble the mainstream. I don’t want to find myself any more in big uniform hotels chain. The hotels that TemptingPlaces proposes are really atypical. The welcome is always more personal and we are able to live a true experience. The real advantage of TemptingPlaces lies in the availability of quality information (help in the decision-making). Their newsletter is for example the only one I read.

I also surf on other travel websites but their differentiated offerings are usually casual. As for the existing large websites, I stopped surfing on them because the offer is standardized.

I have already use TemptingPlaces.com twice for trips to China and Mexico. Once there my expectations were constantly surpassed. In addition, the website is always animated with action such as a photo contest.  
I often recommend this website to people around me."

Catherine RITZ – Export manager – GUERLAIN

"I discovered TemptingPlaces.com on Google during a search for a charming hotel in Bangkok. I travel a lot for my profession and I was often staying at the Hilton/Sheraton. Those are standardized and impersonal chains that I now try to avoid.
For me, boutique hotels are small establishments that offer a personalized welcome. The place always has a story to tell or offers an original concept (ecology, design,…)

To give you an example, I’m going to tell you about my stay in Bangkok. I went there with my husband 15 days ago. Upon arrival, we received a welcome cocktail. The room rate included unlimited access to Internet as well as the minibar. These services are always charged in larger hotels chains.

TemptingPlaces “information” part is also a real asset. I have used their addresses for a restaurant and a design exhibition. This is very useful and we can also clearly see that they known well the place they offer.

TemptingPlaces.com website, I believe attracts people who are looking for boutique hotels in the world. The home page gives you the desire to escape, furthermore the thematic research tool make it even more easy and fluid.

The real difference in my opinion is the editorial: description of the hotels, very detailed pictures, interesting addresses and history of the place. Finally the price range is large enough to enable everyone to leave with its own capabilitie."
