On Insight vacations of 8 days or longer you will be treated to an exclusive Highlight Evening with a menu featuring regional specialties, often accompanied by local wine and entertainment.

We Respect your Individuality

We know personal choice is important. It's the little things we do which will make your vacation very special. For example, our guests don't wear name tags and when you arrive at your hotel, your room key is handed to you personally by your Tour Director. When you visit each attraction your Tour Director or local guide will accompany you. It's what we call 'The Art of Touring in Style'.

Hotel Information
Outstanding hotels in superb locations on Insight's Premium First Class Escorted Journeys

Insight is renowned throughout Europe for the exemplarary quality and superb central locations of its hotels, like the splendid Sofitel Venezia Isola, or the elegant Hotel Principe in the historic centre of Venice.

The quality and location of your hotels is one of the most important aspects of your vacation, because when you visit the cities you have dreamed about, you will want to be located near to the very heart of the action. And with Insight, you will! No other tour operator so consistently provides equivalent First Class and Superior First Class or Deluxe hotels located near to famous sights, galleries, shops or nightlife.

So, in Rome for example, Insight uses hotels in the city centre near to the shops and sights. In Paris, you'll be close to one of the grand boulevards. In Venice, your hotel will be on the islands of the historic centre. And it's the same great story in London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Madrid and Cairo.

Imagine what this means on tour. You may wish to take a leisurely stroll for coffee in that sidewalk café in Brussels, explore the shops in the early evening in Barcelona, or pop back during the day to freshen up in Amsterdam. You can make the most of a city, and do all those individual things you want exploring at your leisure - without the frustration and wasted time of commuting to a hotel out of town.

On other occasions we have selected delightful hotels in Europe's picturesque countryside, which will enable you to enjoy the atmosphere and pace of a perhaps more rural setting.

But good taste is also important and twenty-five years proven experience in planning premium touring means we know how to create the perfect balance of properties - from grand hotels to historic manor houses, from modern to contemporary, and from traditional to historical. Whatever their style, you can be certain that every Insight hotel will welcome you in the finest European tradition. Their outstanding facilities, ambience, and excellent standards of service will make you feel perfectly at home. Moreover, even in more remote locations like the Isle of Skye and Konya in Turkey, Insight carefully selects from the best hotels and standards available.

First Class Hotels
Unlike other operators Insight's hotels consistently put you at the heart of the action, with superior locations in the cities and scenic areas on your tour. When you're in Paris, for example you won't want to waste precious time travelling to the centre from the suburbs, taking expensive taxi journeys or navigating through complicated underground railway systems, that's why when you travel with Insight you will already be in a prime location within key cities, making it only a short journey to the sights. You will have all the shops, restaurants, theatres, museums and galleries close to hand, allowing you to make the most of the colourful local atmosphere and bustling nightlife ensuring that you optimise all the choices on offer.

And, with Insight you'll benefit in the beautiful countryside of Europe too. You'll get to stay in the most stunning locations, experiencing the scenery and tranquillity from your hotel doorstep. The following pages give details of the hotels you will stay in with Insight - in Britain and Ireland, in Central Europe and on our tours to special regions. Insight hotels are chosen for their location, character, facilities and their standard of service and cuisine - and many have been welcoming Insight clients for a number of years. We have travelled thousands of miles and inspected hundreds of hotels to put this list together. And we're sure it's the best you'll find anywhere.
