Yet another luxury travel blog
As my sworn duty as an esteemed member of The League of Super Duper Good Hotels, I wanted to follow up on my recent stays in Airelles Courchevel, Cheval Blanc Courchevel and Le K2 Palace, along with visits to Aman Le Melezin and L’Apogée, by doing what any decent human being in […]
Tis a new year, which brings with it new thoughts. Like what is the point of daylight savings? And why do I choose to live in England during winter? So in the spirit of newness, let me tell you how I’m going to all the same places I’ve previously reviewed. […]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The time where I set out plans which rarely happen. If it’s not my own indecision getting in the way it’s a pandemic. This year has something even more intriguing: there are few, exciting, new hotel openings. Luckily 2020s “Best Hotel Openings” […]
With travel being illegal until May and punishable by having Prince Andrew stay the night in your home, it came as no surprise that my blog became the sewage of the internet, and for once that wasn’t from something I’d written. We took the first opportunity to get out of […]
What a trip. Such a unique experience, and I don’t just mean the sudden implosion of fake pro-Giraffe Manor comments.

I’m not sure what historians will say when they discuss 2020, as it seemed completely uneventful. My New Years resolution was to not watch the news anymore, so hopefully I’ve not missed anything in the last 12 months. We always planned on traveling less this year due to avoiding Zika, […]
After 2018, where we played a game of pin-the-tail-on-the-map and ended up wherever it landed, 2019 was meant to focus on the best of the rest. What I didn’t realise was that the rest weren’t always running in the same lane. In fact, sometimes they were running in the opposite […]
Let’s start the traditions rolling. No, not having that creepy uncle still coming to visit every year (why do the creepy ones live so long)? I’m talking about my 6 month summary. August Ballyfin Each time I stay here the service gets better and the weather gets worse. Climate change […]
The Maldives, along with Paris, is the most competitive luxury hotel market on earth. Sure, you can go look at AMEX FHR or Virtuoso and see 427 hotels for either New York or London, but most of them are so crap that Mary would have still chosen the stable floor. […]
