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.

GUIDE – Eating and Drinking at the Conrad Maldives

The Conrad Maldives has a huge variety of different eating and drinking establishments located across both islands. The most famous of which is Ithaa, the underwater restaurant, which I personally didn't bother with - it is universally derided for being an eye wateringly expensive tourist trap (I did clear a little bit of debris off the glass ceiling for the poor suckers inside, during our orientation dive though ?.) Whilst it is easy enough to drastically reduce the cost of accommodation here, you will realistically need to budget at least an additional $50 per person per day in order to eat lunch and/or dinner. Add to this the cost of the seaplane transfers and you can see that this is still by no means a cheap holiday, even if you are getting it 'cheaper'.
