Top Favourites ⭐️

The Continental

Highly recommended favourites. This list is dynamic, hotels are added and taken away as necessary to a maximum of ten

  • The Continental - See review. The Continental fuses different styles from Victorian, to Cyber to Steampunk to modern, to create something really unique. This place has to be seen to be believed.

  • Seacloud Archipelago - See review. A great addition to the SL beach resort scene. This is the kind of place you’d want to go to in RL.

  • The Bongani - See review. Ticks all the boxes for a five star hotel break. Excellent design and attention to detail.

  • The Empire Hotel - See review. Located in Omerta City, this is a quirky and imaginative venue combines the best elements of a high end hotel and exclusive members’ club.

  • Le Chateau Country Club - See review. Part of the wider Le Chateau complex, this 1980s French / US themed club has its own group, and joining fee. Seriously impressive, it looks and feels real. See also the review for the main Le Chateau Resort

  • Bonaire YanuYanu - See review. Completely rebuilt in the Autumn of 2023, this resort offers the ultimate SL beach vacation experience.

  • The Essencia Hotel - See review. This is probably the closest replica to an RL urban resort hotel I’ve seen. Incredible levels of detail, it feels and immersive and real.

The Empire

  • The Emerald - Part of the ‘Breathe’ private members’ club and bathhouse, this is a modern city hotel. The rooms are a real highlight, access to the Emerald is reason enough to join the Breathe group (Review coming soon)
