Lux City Break: a weekend in Prague
Prague is a special city for me. Why? Because 10 years earlier, I was to meet the man I would marry 4 years later.

Spotting the Big 5 on Safari
On my recent trip to South Africa, I spent 3 days at the Kruger Park – it was my first safari experience – and I have to say, I loved it. During our stay, we went on 4 game drives and we were incredibly lucky to spot the ‘Big 5’.

A lux weekend in Northern Ireland
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.

A lux ski weekend in St. Moritz, Switzerland
This year, we went back to Switzerland for a bit of Alpine lux and ski. And found more than we expected at the fab Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains in St. Moritz.

A lux weekend in Los Angeles, California
I love LA. I love LA. I love LA. I know it is a love or hate city (and a very large city at that), but I am a fan. I am even a bigger fan of a little nice ‘mini-city’ (in true American style, of course) called Beverly Hills. You may have heard about it.

My hOtel: Four Seasons Istanbul at Sultanahmet, Turkey
Returning to Istanbul was pretty special – but I have to say, the Four Seasons Istanbul at Sultanahmet was unforgettable. There was something about it – maybe the fact that was a prison before, which somehow made me not want to leave… (weird, I know!).

My hOtel: Hotel d’Angleterre in Copenhagen, Denmark
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.

A long villa weekend in Mallorca, Spain
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.

A ski week in Val d’Isere, France
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.
