It’s when you enter the fourth room that your heart stops. Three red sandstone colossi clad in simple white kilts, muscular arms by their sides, stand to attention in a row. Like every other object in this compact but powerful exhibition, they are lit to such perfection that you barely…
You might say many of us already live in a bubble, and that would actually be a good thing if the bubble in question was an eco-friendly, stargazing one like you’ll find at Full of Stars Hotel. Set in Jordan’s Wadi Rum – that scenic, ochre desert you may recall…
Watch what happens when you mention the Trans-Siberian to people – you’ll get one of two reactions. From some you’ll get a moment of reflection, and then of understanding. From others, you’ll get saucer-eyes and a look of longing. Whether or not the Trans-Siberian is on your radar, everyone recognises…
First a disclaimer: I have long had a soft spot for the Four Seasons New York. In fact we go way back. That’s because, during the four years I spent in Rhode Island studying for my bachelor’s degree, I would often try to explore as much of the East Coast…

Let’s start by setting the scene. You’re in Japan and in front of you is a plate of carefully cut sashimi, laced with all the trimmings: soy sauce, chilli, the works. It looks fairly innocent, right? Wrong, this is a deadly delicacy. The fish in question is fugu and it’s…
LVMH is becoming an ever more important hotelier. Having started with just a single Cheval Blanc hotel in Courchevel, the group then expanded its Aman-esque brand with properties in Saint Barts and the Maldives before establishing a second brand – White 1921 – of glamorous but diminutive boutique hotels smack…
The latest Aman resort, Amanyangyun, situated about an hour outside of Shanghai, is a unique place with an extraordinary story of preservation and heritage.
