An oasis of calm, luxury and privacy in the heart of London: Presidential Apartments

by

London is the city to see and to be seen at. It is a city of celebration and luxury and has been so for centuries. And yet somehow this city manages to keep certain areas as calm as any remote suburb, Kensington being one such area, and Presidential Apartments is the perfect spot to exemplify it. Presidential Apartments gives you the feeling of living in a luxury London apartment but takes away the hassle of actually owning or renting one.

The K West Hotel and Spa

K West Hotel & Spa | Luxury SOL Manicure

by

Ironically, finding time for a manicure can be stressful. More often that not, self-conjured guilt prevails along with the belief that I couldn’t possibly dare to be so self indulgent. Ultimately, I’m left with Eliza Doolittle nails (before she becomes a ‘lady’) and a feeling that I’ve been robbed of some well-deserved R&R. Either way, I can’t win. However, (and this is one of those good types of conjunctive) when I was invited to try out the K West Hotel and Spa’s latest manicure offering, the SOL Luxury Manicure, I felt simply obliged to go along. For work purposes, obviously.

Inn at a Laurel Point: Sustainable Way to Enjoy Victoria

by

From my balcony at the Inn at Laurel Point, the blue water of the harbour is tranquil and quiet. Below I can see the hotel’s Japanese garden, boats moored in the harbour and the newer glass and steel structures that now line the water’s edge. Breaking the tranquillity is the sound of an air craft engine – a float plane is coming into land on the harbours calm water. I love watching them fly in.

Constance Le Prince Maurice Mauritius

by

Needless to say, the Indian Ocean is filled with many breathtaking holiday locales but when it comes to pure luxury and relaxation, Mauritius is pretty tough to beat. You know that you’re going to be in for a luxurious getaway on this wonderfully picturesque paridise regardless of where you stay but if you’re really wanting to push the boat out in terms of your hotel, it’s hard to look past the somewhat exceptional Constance Le Prince Maurice.

The Palm London | A Family Affair

by

The Palm in Belgravia. If you live in the area you’re most likely a patron. If you love a good steak, you, too, are most likely a patron. In fact, if you’ve ever searched for an informal but delicious place to celebrate, meet professionally, socialise, drink cocktails or nibble on small bites before a night out, then you also may know of The Palm. And if not, allow me to introduce the restaurant you’ll choose next time you go decide to eat out.

Marriott London County Hall Hotel

A 5-star view at Marriott London County Hall

by

Situated across the river from Westminster where onlookers would more likely remember it as the resplendent backdrop to London Eye; when it comes to 5-star views the Marriott London County Hall certainly deserves all five of them, but is there more to star ratings than views and historic prestige?

The Global Party | Celebrities, champagne and charity!

by

On June 27th, 28th, and 29th 2013, over 360,000 of the world’s richest, glitziest and most influential individuals will unite and come together to party, socialise and have an unashamedly fabulous night… But don’t worry, it’s all in the name of charity!

The unique concept, which encourages the world’s societal elite to party their cares away in some of the worlds most luxurious venues does sound rather like any other star-studded event on the surface. However, guests may only attend on the pretense of a donation to charity and the venues generously offer their services and hosting skills for free. Ultimately, all funds raised go direct to a selection of worldwide charities, eliminating all costs to the organisers.

The Bristol Hotel

by

Right on the harbour and just a block over from picturesque Queen Square, The Bristol is an ideally situated hotel whatever might bring you to the vibrant and compact city of Bristol.
