LUXURY TRAVEL NEWS, REVIEWS AND ADVICE
REVIEW – Park Hyatt Kyoto
Overall there's no question that Park Hyatt Kyoto is a wonderful property. It is steeped in history, offers wonderful service, it has a rooftop bar, a Michelin starred restaurant and the hardware and finishes are some of the best I've ever seen in any hotel.
However, this hotel is not for everyone. I'm personally not convinced that being this centrally located in Higashiyama is actually particularly desirable or that the trade off in terms of the loss of room size and facilities is worth it. If you have any mobility issues or if you're travelling with children, the interior layout is also sure to become tedious very quickly.
REVIEW – Mandarin Oriental Santiago
This property originally began its life as a Grand Hyatt and in that context they’ve come a very long way indeed.
I can see why MO was interested in transforming this hotel. The views and the pool are truly unique; no hotel in Santiago compares in this regard. A great number of the rooms have been totally modernised, together with the lobby area.
Having said this, there are a lot of public spaces that are in need of a major renovation if this hotel is truly able to live up to the MO brand’s reputation on the global stage.
Rovos Rail: Namibia Collection Promotion
Rovos Rail has a fantastic offer for the Namibia Collection. This offer combines a luxury train journey through the otherworldly landscapes of Namibia with the opportunity to encounter the creatures that call this place home, up close, on safari.
REVIEW – Belmond VSOE (Orient Express)
Belmond’s Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is the epitome of golden age glamour, a journey back to an enchanted time in which train travel was a momentous event.
The Jean Imbert cuisine is as good as anything you could expect to eat in a top restaurant in Paris and the service is incredibly polished and professional.
Although the richly historical setting is not for everyone, for those who yearn to experience a luxurious voyage into the past, there's really nothing that compares to this.
