A luxury weekend in Rome

FIRST POSTED: 16th December 2013 | LAST UPDATED: 18th January 2021

I was excited to go back to Rome, very excited. Why? Because my readers decided that it was where I should go and spend the 100,000 Starpoints that American Express and Starwood really wanted me to use over a weekend. And I walked, shopped, ate until I could no more. Want to join me?

My hOtel: a review of The Kensington Hotel, London

FIRST POSTED: 21st October 2013 | LAST UPDATED: 15th July 2019
