As Colin and Chris Weir from Scotland celebrate their record-breaking Euromillions win, no doubt a holiday of a lifetime will be somewhere on their to-do list.
“If you’re not a lucky lottery winner, these hotels are some of the top-rated, top-dollar properties listed on TripAdvisor,” comments Emma O’Boyle, TripAdvisor spokesperson. “For those of us not expecting tens of thousands of pounds extra in our pay packet next month, TripAdvisor also lists some much more affordable hotels, such as our best bargain hotels at www.tripadvisor.co.uk/TravellersChoice”
Below are some of the world’s most luxurious hotels for all types of holidays.

Sin City does luxury suites like no other and one of Las Vegas’ most famous hotels, The Palms, leads the way with its ‘Sky Villas’.
