A New Chapter on the Thames: The Riverview Suites at Sea...
1st April 2026
London has a particular magic after dark. The Thames glimmers like black glass, St Paul’s Cathedral stands illuminated across the water, and the city hums with that unmistakable energy that makes you feel as though anything could happen. It was against this backdrop that I recently checked into the newly unveiled Riverview Suites at Sea Containers London, in need of a little rest, relaxation and, as it turned out, a rather fabulous night out with an old friend.

Five of the World's Best Literary Destinations
23rd March 2026
'Getting lost in the pages of a book’ is an expression that resonates with many: books allow us to enter other worlds and other experiences - and the memories often linger far beyond the final chapter. So it’s unsurprising that the popularity of literary tourism has surged in recent years. Readers are no longer content to simply escape into a book: they want to step into the world of the author, or of the protagonists. Screen adaptations have, of course, been instrumental in this shift. Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings have both turned real destinations into places that fans seek out in an effort to immerse themselves into those fictional worlds. Social media has also played a part, with visual platforms such as TikTok and Instagram bringing literary landmarks, and aesthetically pleasing book shops and libraries into the palms of our hands - and inciting a yen to see them for ourselves. A desire for slower, more immersive travel is also a factor. Rather than ticking off a list of sights and landmarks, travellers now prefer to linger and get a genuine sense of place, or a feeling of connection with the places they visit. Some destinations heighten the experience for visitors - Dublin is just one example. They tap into their literary histories and arrange programmes of festivals, exhibitions and talks, giving travellers a focal point around which they can build the rest of their trip. So, if your muse has been awakened, here are some ideas to further inspire you...
Bermuda - Beyond the Beach, a Rich Culinary Scene Awaits
19th March 2026
Think Bermuda, and what springs to mind? Well, there’s the mysterious ‘Triangle,’ of course - but there’s also the mermaid-worthy image of turquoise waters shimmering at the edges of pink sand beaches. For many years, the marketing focus has been on the latter, positioning Bermuda as an Atlantic idyll - because no, it’s not in the Caribbean, but roughly 900 miles north, about level with North Carolina.
Nobu Marrakech: A Rooftop Sanctuary in the Heart of the...
18th March 2026
In Marrakech, sun-warmed terracotta walls glow beneath the desert sky, and the scent of saffron and orange blossom drifts through the air. Stillness can feel elusive in this vibrant labyrinth, yet tucked within the elegant Hivernage district, Nobu Hotel Marrakech offers something rare: a sanctuary where Japanese restraint meets Moroccan craftsmanship, bridging the city’s historic soul with its contemporary luxury evolution.
Immersive Indulgence: Twenty Years of The Ritz-Carlton,...
17th March 2026
I scarcely know where to look as I’m led to my room at The Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman: the journey between the two towers glitters with high-end boutiques and temptingly sparkly jewellery, all of which pops against the ethereal colour palette of greens, blues and neutrals emerging from the hotel’s 2022 revamp by Champalimaud Design.
