A lux weekend in Northern Ireland

FIRST POSTED: 18th March 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 8th September 2020

When I mentioned that I was going to Northern Ireland for a weekend, many friends and readers were really surprised. But it was one of the places I always wanted to go – it is shameful how little time I spend travelling around the UK, so I was keen to make it happen. Plus Mr. O does a fab Northern Irish accent and I wanted more. A lot more.

My hOtel: Hotel d’Angleterre in Copenhagen, Denmark

FIRST POSTED: 24th January 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 9th September 2015

The grand dame of Danish hospitality, the Hotel d’Angleterre, in Copenhagen, was the only place on my list on my recent visit to Denmark’s capital. Recently the subject of an incredibly tasteful refurbishment, I must admit it was one of the most beautifully designed hotels I have ever stayed at. Pair that with possibly the best looking team ever, and we were in for a treat.

Very pretty, but I am hiding the bits you wouldn't want to see on this photo

A long villa weekend in Mallorca, Spain

FIRST POSTED: 9th January 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 12th November 2020

Returning to Mallorca was, as expected, almost magic. There is something about this island – very relaxed, but also quite chic, and also very pleasant to the eye. I like the variety that it offers – you can be in places where you see no one, you can do some decent shopping, the food is incredible and the sea is so beautiful, you can’t quite believe you are in Europe.

Our trip to Val d'Isere was still a lot of fun.

It is always a pleasure to return to one of France’s leading ski resorts… and this time I did, with 6 of my dear friends for a week of snow, skiing and chalet comfort.

A relative newcomer to the Paris luxury hotel scene, the Sofitel Paris Arc de Triomphe is small but sexy, modern and truly magnifique.

I am a great believer that one can never have too much Italy in one’s lives. So to end Autumn in style, and to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, Mr. O and I made our way to the lovely Venice.
