Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her family chose The Rajbari Bawali for a stay, bringing Bollywood glamour to a restored Bengali palace outside Kolkata. Courtyards, gardens and heritage rooms give the property a strong sense of place, while the pool and spa soften the formality. It is the kind of retreat where a public family can withdraw into history rather than simply hide behind modern luxury.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her family chose Amilla Maldives for an island celebration, lending the resort the easy glamour of a private family escape. Its villas, tropical greenery and sense of seclusion make the experience feel personal rather than showy. This is the Maldives at its most relaxed: generous space, warm water and the freedom to slip away from the public eye.

Hôtel Martinez turns its Croisette address into pure Cannes theatre, with Art Deco rooms, a private beach and festival-season glamour at the door. Will Smith stayed here while serving on the 2017 Cannes jury; Selena Gomez later made it her Riviera base for the 2024 premiere of Emilia Pérez.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her family chose St. James' Court for a London stay close to Buckingham Palace. The connection suits a hotel that balances a discreet courtyard with a high-profile Westminster address. Michelin-starred Quilon, a destination spa and the easy walk to St. James's Park make it a polished family base—central enough for the city, but sheltered once inside.
