Lux Holiday: a weekend in Mumbai, India

FIRST POSTED: 7th May 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 21st January 2020

We had a taste of Mumbai, just a little one and it left us begging for more. The service we had everywhere was outstanding, everything worked despite the chaos around us and the people we met were out of this world. I honestly cannot wait to go back and explore some more.

After 10 years, we made it to Prague. On this photo, you can see the Four Seasons' absolutely perfect location, minutes away from Charles Bridge. (Photo by Four Seasons)

Lux City Break: a weekend in Prague

FIRST POSTED: 23rd April 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 18th January 2021

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

Greece is calling my name!

Spotting the Big 5 on Safari

FIRST POSTED: 5th April 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 19th December 2023

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

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.

A lux ski weekend in St. Moritz, Switzerland

FIRST POSTED: 6th March 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 4th March 2020

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.

LA has always been kind to us (except with the traffic some times). But we shall be coming back for more, for sure.

A lux weekend in Los Angeles, California

FIRST POSTED: 12th February 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 18th January 2021

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.

Hard to believe it was once a prison...

My hOtel: Four Seasons Istanbul at Sultanahmet, Turkey

FIRST POSTED: 6th February 2015 | LAST UPDATED: 18th January 2021

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

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.
