The newest Great Eight Hotels collection released by Directory of Hotels is Iconic Grande Dames.

The collection includes hotels from around the world that are noted for their outstanding demeanor, service and have recently undergone substantial renovations. Even if you don’t have the chance of staying the night at one of these grande hotels, they are worth a visit just to walk around and experience the history, have a drink while chatting with the bartender or marvel in the architecture and traditions of the past.
