La Tremoille & Le Pre Catelan, Paris 2008-01-26 17:55:00 There are five of us here for a special occasion - KB’s birthday - and I can’t imagine a better place to stay than Hotel Tremoille. It has been undergoing an extensive renovation itself, 16 months of upgrading which has turned Tremoille into a very fine mid-sized hotel in the heart of Paris
’ ‘Golden Triangle’, just a few minutes’ walk from George V Avenue and the Champs-Elysees.

Air New Zealand, Business Class, London to Los Angeles 2008-06-01 17:00:57 How much is a national airline brand tied up with our perceptions of the country it represents? Think Finnair - generous quantities of booze on board, straightforward but efficient service, and the grit and indefatigability to take off and land in conditions which would utterly defeat the big softies at Heathrow. How more Finnish could it be?
In some cases, those airlines help to define what we t Read more:Zealand

Review of Monasterio, Cusco and Sol y Luna, Peru 2008-02-09 16:14:47 After serving as a monastery for hundreds of years, the palace is now Monasterio, without question the finest hotel in Cusco. And the ‘Best Hotel in South America’, as voted by Conde Naste Traveller in 2007. Monasterio, part of the Orient Express group, is certainly a fine place to stay, in a unique setting. The staff are first class, and there are two excellent restaurants which serve Peruvi
La Reserve, Lake Geneva 2008-07-17 05:17:00 Getting to La Reserve
is super easy from London, as long as you use the Swiss service from City Airport to Geneva
. Thank Heavens for London City Airport on a Bank Holiday weekend - no Heathrow, no desperate lines at security, no long queue to get on the plane. Once you land and get through passport control (with typical Swiss efficiency), it’s only a ten minute taxi ride before you are pulling i

The Capital, Knightsbridge, London 2008-07-08 17:58:00 With the economy collapsing all around us, the obvious response is to splash out at one of London's top restaurants. The Capital is tucked away discreetly inside a small hotel just around the corner from Harrods, and has two Michelin stars. I first went there for a birthday dinner two years ago, and have been dying to go back ever since. Recovering from a horrendous overnight flight from JFK, I wa
Sunset at the Miraflores Park Hotel, Lima 2008-02-15 05:09:00 Miraflores is one of the wealthiest parts of Lima, and home to most of its best hotels. It sits on the cliffs high above the coast, and has very pretty gardens which run along the front. Read more:Sunset

Can luxury travel be 'responsible'? asks CC Africa 2008-07-21 16:21:17 CC Africa
, or the Conservation Corporation Africa, my favourite travel company, has just launched a blog called 'Responsible Luxury'. CCA has a well-deserved reputation as one of the most sustainable and ethically aware travel companies in the world (they just handed ownership of a big portion of their famous Phinda Private Game Reserve in South Africa back to the local community). Now they want t
Savoy restaurant, Prince Street, New York 2008-07-08 16:46:35 I always struggle to know where to eat in New York
, so it was great to discover the Savoyrestaurant
, tucked away on a little corner of PrinceStreet
, Soho, this intimate, warm venue is an excellent place for dinner a deux, or with a small group of friends. As it happens, I found myself here on business when it was my birthday, so six colleagues took me out to the Savoy for a slap-up dinner. The d
