The one thing better than spending a weekend away? Spending a weekend away while feeling like a celebrity.

With the help of Booking.com, we've put together a selection of celebrity-owned hotels that are sure to make you feel like an A-lister. Who knows, you may end up sitting next to Elizabeth Hurley for breakfast in London, or skiing down a mountain alongside Robert Redford in Utah.

Elizabeth Hurley - 11 Cadogan Gardens, London, United Kingdom

Owned by movie superstar Elizabeth Hurley, this 5-star, 54-room boutique hotel is the ideal place to stay for a luxury London experience. Guests can enjoy gourmet breakfasts, marble bathrooms and Egyptian linens. Relax at the grand Victorian style bar, or head to the gym, fitted out with personal touch-screen TVs. Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park and Harrods are a few minutes walk away.

Robert Redford - Sundance Mountain Resort, Sundance, Utah, United States of America

Robert Redford named his alpine ski resort after the infamous role he played in 1969s Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Many writers, directors, actors, and artists have visited and been inspired by the beauty of this resort and Redford has spent years intentionally crafting an arts and recreational community here. Sundance Mountain Resort offers three restaurants and a spa to help alleviate the exhaustion of a long day's skiing. All rooms include ski-lift tickets during the ski season and select rooms feature a fireplace, full kitchen and patio with awe inspiring mountain views.

Robert De Niro - Greenwich Hotel, Tribeca, New York, United States of America

Nestled in New York's elite Tribeca neighborhood, Greenwich Hotel is the legendary Robert De Niro's masterpiece. The award-winning actor spent six years working on every detail of this luxurious hotel. Featuring Siberian oak floors, antique silk rugs and bathrooms with Moroccan tile mosaics, it is hard not to feel like an A-list celebrity here. Each room is individually decorated and most boast stunning views over the Hudson River. However, the masterstroke of this hotel is the underground Shibui Spa, which was brought over piece by piece from Japan. If you can bear to leave this hotel for the day, you will find Washington Market Park and the Tribeca Performing Arts Center less than five minutes walk away.
