In a city as showstopping as Paris, it’s only expected Hotel Plaza Athenee would top the list of most-photogenic accommodations, according to Hotels.com.

You may recognize this incredible hotel from its guest appearance in Sex and the City when Carry Bradshaw was staying in Paris.

Close behind, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island received a 9.2 out of 10 in guest reviews on Hotels.com and, with an underwater restaurant, it’s easy to see why. Dine under the sea at Ithaa Undersea Restaurant with tables for two offering lunch and dinner with 180-degree views of marine life including sharks. Guestrooms, villas and incredible suites are available beginning at $900 a night, complete with private infinity pools, spacious accommodations and exotic décor matching the incredible locale’s natural beauty.

Receiving the same review score, but for a few hundred less a night, Hotel Fasano, Rio De Janeiro is a jewel of Brazil. Based on the amazing dining options alone, this hotel is a must-visit for an idyllic blend of natural and manmade wonders.

Hit the rooftop infinity pool for an unbeatable view of Cradle Mountain, or make your way down to the beach and swim along the private and pristine beach. Accommodations begin at $500 a night and range by time of year and accommodation level.

Spice up your life at St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London, receiving an 8.8 out of 10 in customer reviews on Hotels.com.

Everything from the building’s architecture, prime location and luxury suites screams photo op.
