Rosewood Hong Kong - Grand Harbour View Suite second living room

REVIEW – Rosewood Hong Kong

If you're only in town for a day or two, especially if this is your first visit, then perhaps you'd be better served by a property that has less to offer. Honestly a key 'problem' that we faced here is that we had to really drag ourselves away to explore the city. Any moment spent outside of the hotel seemed like a waste because being on property is just that good.

REVIEW – Belmond Hiram Bingham Train (Machu Picchu)

Belmond's Hiram Bingham is a beautifully restored and maintained train, which truly immersed us in the golden age of rail travel. There is no question that the overall experience is very luxurious and that it is the ideal way to circumvent some of the more onerous government regulation, that makes visiting the citadel of Machu Picchu so complicated.

REVIEW – Joali Being, Maldives

Do people spending thousands per night really want to focus on health and wellbeing, or is luxury only possible when eating fatty foods, drinking fine wines and avoiding physical activity? My suspicion was that the wellness concept had the potential to be overbearing and certainly seems like a niche offering, but it is one that I was very intrigued to experience nevertheless....

Four Seasons Geneva - Lake View Presidential Suite living room

REVIEW – Four Seasons Geneva (Hotel des Bergues)

Four Seasons Geneva really surprised me. I had been expecting a rather stuffy and old fashioned hotel, the antithesis to the sleek and modern Four Seasons Bangkok. Instead, I found a property with impeccably maintained historical features, married perfectly with modern touches like bedside USB ports, hammam style steam showers, rooftop sushi and indeed a very young and enthusiastic staff.

emirates first class lounge entrance lhr

REVIEW – The Lounges of LHR T3 – EK, CX and BA

We quickly checked in at the Qantas First Class area (which is also available to BA Club Europe passengers as well as OneWorld Emeralds) and the agent let us know that we were able to use not only the BA lounge but also the Emirates lounge, as a result of QFs partnership with Emirates. I wasn’t expecting this as previously this wasn’t the case for flights on QF metal.

Round the World in First Class for $1,400 worth of US Airways miles, plus taxes. Just for fun I checked the cash price for these flights in the cheapest non-flexible First class fare buckets: $23,400.

REVIEW – British Airways Concorde Room (First Class) – London Heathrow T5

At the entrance our boarding passes were checked and we were directed towards a reception desk where we were greeted and asked if it was our first time here. We said it was and were told where we could find the bar, terrace area, spa, cloakroom and restaurant.

REVIEW – British Airways : First Class – London to New York JFK

We were warmly greeted as we stepped aboard and directed to our seats. K was taken through a full tour of the features whilst I went about exploring by myself. On the face of it the BA First Class seat has the same basic design as the Sicma Aero Cirrus […]
