The American version of OK! Magazine suggests you take a trip to their motherland, England. More specifically, London. And their suggestion for lodging is the Dukes Hotel off St. James's Place. The hotel was originally a private home when it was built back in 1708 but has been a hotel since 1908. There are 90 rooms, all of which are different and the suites give killer views of Green Park.

Since the rooms are kinda small, you want to get out as much as  you can. Downstairs in th hotel is the Dukes bar which is helmed by barteneder Tony Micelotta and frequented by celebs of course. Even if you're a non-celeb, Micelotta will teach you how to make the perfect Martini (this is the man who won the World Martini Championship Paissa.)

The hotel also has a health club and a treatment room offering spa services.

Although the reviews on this place are pretty rock solid, beware of pricey breakfasts:

It is oddly frustrating to order a tiny meal (scrambled egg and toast) and be charged more than what a dinner in the same room had cost.
