“A Peaceful Family Escape in the Heart of New York“ Our family stayed at WestHouse New York for a week in April, and it truly exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a one-bedroom balcony suite, which was both elegant and comfortable — a perfect retreat after long days exploring the city. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and had a real “home away from home” feel, with a touch of understated luxury. One of the highlights was the Resident Privileges,…

Tea at the Dorchester is always a personal delight, the Promenade has an air of opulence which hard to match. The hotel had recently revamped its upholstery and the artwork to the Lalique chandeliers. It is impeccably stylish and sealed with the British stamp. The dining accommodated any allergies seamlessly and the flow of delectable savouries were replenished, without prompt. The craftsmanship is owed to the pastry chef Michael Kwan. The live pianist was situated close to our table, ceremoniously…

Hilton makes its first mark in Italy. Conrad Chia Laguna resort overlooks Chia Bay, Monte Cogoni Beach, and Dune di Campana Beach. It is idyllic for families and couples alike.

 A spot of luxury Photo credit – Ravenhurst The drive to Cotswold is nothing short of amazing. The scenery is indisputably picturesque and you cannot help but immerse yourself into the surroundings for most of the journey. Well, in my case exercising vocal chords in singing nursery rhymes to our one year old toddler, I was just glad to discover that Cotswold remained a family favourite, as it caters well to every age group. It is Alex and Andy Young who are the…

Bamford Spa feels like a quiet exhale you didn’t realise you’d been holding. Set in the rolling Cotswolds countryside, it’s elegant without ever feeling intimidating — more relaxed country escape than clinical spa. Everything is beautifully considered, from the soft, earthy interiors to the gentle scent of essential oils that seems to slow you down the moment you walk in. The treatments feel thoughtful and restorative rather than showy, with therapists who take time to actually listen. You’re never rushed,…
