Vintage – “Denoting something from the past of high quality, especially something representing the best of its kind”

There’s something romantically nostalgic about anything vintage. In recent years the mere mention of the word vintage has driven people into a frenzy, whether it’s vintage hotels, clothes, classic cars or furniture.

So for those of you who love quality, class and heritage, these vintage hotels should really hit the spot and let you reminisce of days gone by. From fabulous furniture to quintessential afternoon teas, you can immerse yourself in these atmospheric places where elegance and tradition is the new fashion.

When you enter these vintage hotels, expect to see armoires, chaise longues, wing backed armchairs, candelabras and hand painted chests of drawers. And the ancient gardens that envelop the hotels create a sense of magic and make you feel like part of the aristocracy from the moment you arrive.

Afternoon tea is a tradition that many of us have grown to love and, quite frankly, couldn’t live without. Whether or not you’re a foodie, it’s hard to resist the temptations that adorn the elegant cake stands. And what better way to enjoy the delicious goodies than surrounded by picturesque settings?
