The May Fair Hotel: the Place to Enjoy Life in London with a Royal Touch
An on-site cinema with a Dolby 3D screen and red-leather seating and casino, an inviting Cigar Club, a mouth-watering restaurant, and large beds in newly refurbished rooms make this hotel stand out among hundreds of luxury hotels in London. Just a few steps from Green Park and Berkeley Square, this contemporary hotel with a glamorous past boasts a great location combined with first class service.
We really loved where this hotel is situated - in London’s most celebrated and elegant quarters – within walking distance of many attractions and close to the best shops and restaurants London has to offer.
In 1927, The May Fair Hotel announced itself to the world with a suitably royal fanfare, as King George V and Queen Mary gave their seal of approval. From the moment the grand doors swung open, The May Fair was London society’s playground.
We loved the recently refurbished May Fair Kitchen restaurant. Breakfast was vast and delicious, with everything you could wish for – from fruit to freshly made pastries - and our dinner was just amazing. We chose lobster from the fish bar for our main course and it was one of the best we've ever tasted!
After our incredible dinner, we spent some time in the bar, regretting that we are not cigar smokers as the cabanas at the Cigar Bar were so inviting.
If you want to experience even greater luxury, we suggest you book one of the iconic suites. We loved The Penthouse Suite with its sweeping 100-foot balcony with warm soft fabrics and a huge master bed. Life is just wonderful here!
Rūmene Manor, the country estate of Riga's 5* Hotel Bergs, is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered. Nestled not far from the capital, Rūmene Manor has a rich history stretching all the way back to 1876, and boasts a Neo-Renaissance style that historians agree is truly something special.
There are places that inspire; the Corinthia Hotel in London is one of them. One look at the luxurious interior of this 21st century grand palace, with high ceilings and a huge chandelier with sparkling cascades of crystals, and you can just picture yourself wearing a glamorous gown, your heels clicking elegantly on the marble floor. You want to look as beautiful as your surroundings, so I packed very carefully for my stay there.
Down at the southern tip of the 800 km island chain of Maldives, next to the local Gan airport there is a tropical paradise called Shangri-La. Here you are welcomed by an unbelievably starry sky (it’s just 60 km south of the Equator), a lush green tropical forest, and of course a 5* luxury hotel, privacy and a sense of space – unusual for Maldives – which is what I loved about it the most.
Langkawi is located just 30 kilometers off the northwest coast of the Malay Peninsula. It is a beautiful archipelago of 104 islands, surrounded by the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea. Some of the islands are inhabited, but some are just like bare rocks sitting in the sea during high tides.
As a big fan of and frequent visitor to the Maldives, I’m often asked which accommodation is best when travelling to these sunny islands. On Angsana Velavaru, the choice is obvious – it has to be a water villa. Angsana’s second Maldivian property, which has a strong Asian feel, is most notable for its ‘InOcean’ water villas. Their uniqueness lies in their remoteness from the shore and absolute privacy – the stand-alone structures are situated a kilometre from the main island and are reachable only by boat across the lagoon.
If you want to experience the best ‘Afternoon Tea’ ceremony in London, one need look no further than the historic Landmark London. The Hotel will provide you with the best ‘Afternoon Tea’ you could possibly imagine.
I fell in love with traveling much earlier than I fell in love with my first man. And I'm still faithful to that love (But I have exchanged some men since my first one). I have never had a reason to regret my passion. I constantly dream of going further, it gives me indescribable emotions and meaning to my life.
