Timeless Elegance: The Beaumont London - a Luxury London Art Deco Hotel
In this review of The Beaumont Hotel in London, I’ll detail my experience of the location, the restaurants, and of course the accommodation and facilities at the hotel itself. Read below to find out everything you need to know before your next trip to London.
The Marquesa Hotel: A Comprehensive Guide to Staying in Key West, Florida.
With Key West not having any of our usual ‘go-to’ properties like Leading Hotels of the World, Virtuoso etc. I soon spotted the Marquesa and on further investigation decided that this would be the place for us. The choice of accommodations and locale appealed, as did realising that the newer Marquesa 4-1-4 building had the premier suites which seemed to give us the sort of accommodation that we were looking for.
Hotel Las Majadas Pirque: Wineland’s Chilean Charm Unveiled
Welcome to my review of Hotel Las Majadas, Pirque; located in the wine region on the outskirts of Santiago Chile. Read below to find out everything you need to know before your next trip to Chile.
Hotel Review: Manafiafy Beach and Rainforest Lodge, Madagascar.
When staying at the Constance Hotels property (Lemuria in the Seychelles) and I spotted Constance Tsarabanjina in Madagascar, I knew that we had to visit this country. To be honest I didn’t know that much about Madagascar (not having seen the cartoon films, not that they are necessarily representative as you might imagine of what Madagascar is like). You can find my full Madagascar itinerary here and also the reviews of both Mandrare and Tsarabanjina.
Hotel Review: Mandrare River Camp, Madagascar.
Our first trip to Madagascar was just incredible. Madagascar Classic Collection has two properties (same amazing standard of accommodation, service and facilities but very different locations); the Mandrare River Camp and also the Manafiafy Beach and Rainforest Lodge.
Hotel Review: Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce, Bruges, Belgium
Walking round Bruges that time we spotted the Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce right on the canal, after we remembered this was used in the Colin Farrell dark comedy film from 2008, In Bruges. We said that whenever we came back to Bruges, ideally visiting in winter for a change from summer, we would stay at this boutique hotel.
Hotel Review: Hotel Tresanton, St. Mawes, Cornwall.
Tresanton is a small, ultra luxe boutique hotel in a cluster of traditional Cornish houses overlooking the sea. You will get a flavour from the hotel website but this is so elegantly designed and presented, with excellent unassuming service.
Hotel Review: La Serena Villas, Palm Springs.
Having stayed in Palm Springs before, this time we were looking to try a different property and I was attracted to La Serena Villas; not only because of the high rating on TripAdvisor (as I write #8 out of 78 hotels in Palm Springs) but also the very central location.
Hotel Review: Cow Hollow Hotel, Manchester.
I soon spotted the Cow Hollow Hotel, not least for the captivating name (named after a neighbourhood district in San Francisco apparently), but realising this was voted (currently) #4 out of 123 in Manchester for Traveller Ranking and #1 for Best Value I decided quite quickly that would be the place to stay. A fully restored and converted Victorian brick warehouse, this really is a cool and hip boutique hotel.
Hotel Review: The Milestone Hotel | Victorian Splendour & Old World Luxury Charm
Whenever we stay in London my first “go to” site to check hotels is the Leading Hotels of the World. We have stayed quite a number of times as The Café Royal near Piccadilly, The Landmark at Marylebone, One Aldwych and The Langham when it was part of this group too.
