A Unique Stay at Hotel Astoria in Kotor
Recently I was fortunate to visit the amazing country of Montenegro. I based myself in both Herceg Novi and Kotor and whilst I was in Kotor, I stayed at the 4 star boutique Hotel Astoria. I really liked this hotel and if you are after something different, then you will be assured of a unique stay at Hotel Astoria. The Hotel Astoria is located right inside the city walls, so you are right in amongst the action of Kotor. The old town is a very popular destination for tourists, with many cruise ships parking in the harbour so passengers can explore the town. Kotor’s old town is a UNESCO world…

Rimba by Ayana Resort and Spa Review
During my visit to South East Asia, one of my stops was to the relaxing island of Bali. On this trip, I split my time in half, spending the first half in Seminyak and then the second half of my trip in Jimbaran. In Jimbaran I stayed at a brilliant resort called Rimba by Ayana Resort and Spa. Initially I hadn’t heard of Rimba or knew anyone who had stayed there, but I had heard of Ayana Resort and Spa. On a previous visit to Bali, I had the pleasure of wandering about the grounds of Ayana on a day visit to the Rock Bar. The grounds were very impressive…

The Rixos Pera in Istanbul is a hotel that effortlessly exudes a world of amazing grandeur. From the moment you step inside this hotel you will be transported to a time of elegance and style from a bygone era.

Bali Niksoma Boutique Beach Resort
The Bali Niksoma boutique Beach Resort is an outstandingly run resort that shows how effortlessly customer service should be. Hotels in Bali are officially on notice, as the Bali Niksoma sets the standard on how to treat their guests. The big advantage here is that there are only 57 rooms in this resort, so it doesn’t feel overrun with people and therefore no chance of becoming an invisible guest. The Bali Niksoma was designed by renowned Indonesian architect Hadi Prana who has created a contemporary boutique style resort that still retains traditional Balinese influences throughout. With beautiful immaculate gardens, two stylish restaurants, a large infinity pool and an enviable beach front…

Okura Prestige Bangkok: breathtaking at every turn
Some hotels claim to be a five-star hotel but the Okura Prestige is the epitome of what one should be. Where nothing is too much trouble and attention to detail is the rule not the exception. From the moment you walk in to the Okura Prestige you will be whisked away to a luxurious and super stylish world by the hospitable Thai staff. Your oasis in the city awaits you. The reason I chose to stay at this hotel was through consistent reviews and recommendations on various independent websites. I also liked the fact that this hotel had an infinity pool located 25 stories up with a wonderful view over…

Crown Towers Hotel Melbourne: Luxury at it’s best
Crown Towers Hotel Melbourne is without a doubt Australia’s most luxurious Hotel. Having reaffirmed it’s standing by being awarded the best Australian Hotel in 2014 by Luxury Magazines gold list – it’s hard to argue if there are any other hotels that can topple Crown’s – well “crown”. I recently stayed at this hotel after deciding that I should treat myself to a night of luxury before I fly out to Bangkok the next day. Living just an hour away, I don’t often stay in the city itself as it’s just as easy to catch a train home after a day’s shopping, dining or visiting friends. So having a little…

Hilton Sydney Hotel review
The Hilton Sydney is located right in the middle of Sydney’s CBD and ensures guests of a fine indulgent experience. It may not have uninterrupted views of the harbour but what it does have in spades is the impressive architecture and great entertaining spaces for it’s guests to enjoy. Within the Hotel you will discover these wonderfully stylish bars: The internationally acclaimed Zeta bar and the heritage listed Marble bar. The Zeta bar is where you will enjoy cocktails made by the resident mixologists who are pushing the art of cocktail making to the next level! You will also find – hopefully – the hidden Marble Bar which will transport…
