Review of The Luxury Insider Reviews Hotel nhow - Londons boldest...
3rd February 2022
This isn’t the sort of hotel I would normally check into, but its interiors fascinated me and so, I was intrigued about how much luxury this uber-cool hotel could provide. Just 10 minutes from Angel and Old Street stations, the nhow is incredibly convenient for anyone exploring this side of the city. The outside is quite unremarkable, but once you walk through the doors you're greeted by a bold and playful British theme which looks like it could have been created by Lewis Carroll and Banksy - think graffiti, a 30ft rocket ship Big Ben and House of Hackney seating that wouldn't look out of place at the Mad Hatter's tea party. If nothing else, it oozes fun and fits with it’s east London location.
The Beans & The Machines -As Good as Coffee Gets
2nd February 2022
One of the big ones is coffee. With WFH back with us, morning trips to the local artisan coffee houses are becoming fewer and further between. However, it’s not all bad news: Coffee is a national addiction, and actually one of the few itches we can scratch very well in this new era of amazing artisan coffee roasters, and with a little help from technologically innovative companies, who’ve managed to compress a coffee shop complete with bearded barista, into a machine that’ll sit on your counter-top.
Our Lifestyle Expert Speaks with Chef Budgie Montoya of...
24th January 2022
When I ask him to describe Filipino cuisine. Montoya and I share the same challenge—as someone who was born and raised in the Philippines, it’s only when I moved away that I realised how difficult it was to explain the moreish quality of a crunchy sisig, the way a spoonful of bagoong takes the creamy kare-kare to another level, or how the adobo you had at your friend’s house may taste completely different to what is served at mine. With a complex history that includes over 300 years as a Spanish colony, nearly 50 as an American territory, and time under Japanese occupation during World War II, it’s only natural that it’s taken some time for Filipino cuisine to reclaim its identity whilst embracing the different influences that makes it unique. “If I had to break it down,” says Montoya. “Filipino cuisine is bold and exciting, with lots of acidity, umami and plenty of textures to keep you interested.”
Review of Our Lifestyle Expert reviews 5-Star Luxury Hotel, The...
4th January 2022
His enthusiasm and friendliness reminded us that we were no longer in London, but instead in Yorkshire, an area known for its welcoming nature and hospitality. After an easy train journey from King’s Cross and a short walk from the York train station, we arrived at The Grand York, the 5-star luxury hotel located in a grade-II listed building that was once the headquarters of the North Eastern Railway. Originally erected as a “Palace of Business”, the building started the next phase of its evolution as a hotel over a decade ago. Extensive refurbishments saw the hotel expanding and breathing new life into the historic features that have made the building a beloved city landmark. The independent hotel is a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts and has won multiple awards, including “Best Luxury Hotel in England” from Late Rooms and was featured on Expedia’s “Insiders’ Select List”.

Review of Sollip - An Ode to Modern European Cuisine with Korean...
21st December 2021
This isn’t a street you would pass by often unless you reside in the area and perhaps unless you’ve spent time doing your research, you wouldn’t find this restaurant that easily either. They’re not heavily marketed like most restaurants and prefer it that way because the dishes ultimately speak for themselves and so do the diners.
