Dita Von Teese brought a little theatre to The Joule in December 2016, performing on its terrace during the celebrations for Forty Five Ten across the street. The setting suits a hotel that treats art and design as part of the experience. Housed in a restored downtown bank building, it pairs richly textured rooms with a rooftop pool that projects beyond the building's edge. Browse the art downstairs, book some quiet time in the subterranean spa, then settle into Midnight Rambler for cocktails.

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island spreads across two private islands, pairing overwater seclusion with the theatrical wonder of its undersea restaurant. Dita Von Teese chose the resort for a five-day escape, a fittingly glamorous stay amid turquoise water, sunset villas and star-filled skies.

The Ritz-Carlton, Vienna occupies four linked palaces on the Ringstrasse, pairing historic façades with a rooftop bar and polished contemporary rooms. Dita Von Teese attended the hotel's 2012 grand opening celebration, when the new address introduced itself with a deliberately glamorous guest list. The connection is an event rather than a claimed stay, but it fits the theatrical confidence of this city-centre retreat.
