Ritzy business
The gande dame of London, The Ritz Hotel, is celebrating her 100th year with a special two-night Centennial Celebration package, starting at $3,000. With airport transfers by Rolls-Royce Phantom, a four-course gourmet dinner, theatre tickets and a rose-based mani and pedi -- even a losing streak in the hotel's private member's gaming club won't mess with your mood.

And don't forget ....
The Smiths' Hotel Collection: Europe
Step aside, Brangelina. There's a new act in town. Stylish, well travelled and expert at slipping away for romantic interludes, these Smiths feature reviews of European hotels by cool designers, club owners and restaurateurs. Writers travelled anonymously wit their partners -- hence the Mr & Mrs Smith tag. So, reviewer-designer Stella McCartney lazed with her hubby in a canopied four-poster bed at JK Place, a sumptuous boutique hotel in Florence, Italy. The Smith guides also offer a memebership card with each book -- a passe-partout to discounts, complimentary champagne and other goodies -- and online booking at www.mrandmrssmith.com
The Smiths' Hotel Collection: Europe (Universe; $42).
