Always fashionable Miraflores (which translates to “look at the flowers” in Spanish) is synonymous with glamour in the Peruvian capital. The recently refurbished Belmond does the district proud with its stunning glass-enclosed rooftop pool overlooking the Pacific and the Zest Spa, which incorporates ingredients from the Peruvian Amazon. If your tastes skew more whimsical, there's also a turtle pond out front. The see-and-be-seen restaurant Tragaluz boasts a refreshing menu of ceviches and tiraditos, while the 11th-floor Observatory offers a stunning panorama of the ocean. And the garden-facing suites will remind you just how this bougainvillea-filled district got its name.

In the kinetic megalopolis of Mumbai, the striking Indo-Saracenic silhouette of the Taj Mahal Palace hotel is no less of a landmark than the neighboring Gateway of India. Built in 1903, the gray-and-white stone, red-domed wedding cake of a building stands over Mumbai’s harbor. When your taxi pulls up through the throngs of families and tourists who choke the roads in the area, you’re ceremoniously welcomed by doormen in traditional silk kurtas; you have that pinch me feeling of “Wow, I’m really staying here?” You’re in good company, as everyone from George Bernard Shaw to Barack Obama has spent the night here too. Because the Taj is such a landmark, there are tourists and locals who come and go from the hotel’s restaurants, shops, and bars, or take part in the daily Heritage Walks around the property. But some parts of the hotel are off-limits to non-guests, so you quickly leave the bustle of the lobby behind. The Taj has the best pool in Mumbai. Especially after a sweaty day of touring the city, returning to this gleaming blue oval—surrounded by pink and orange color-blocked chaises and a gin cart that makes the rounds—is just plain heavenly.
