lobby-4500px-1731945852.jpg

The Shelbourne, a landmark of Dublin, has been an icon of luxury hospitality since it opened its doors in 1824. Celebrating its bicentenary this year, The Shelbourne continues to exude Irish grandeur from its position in the heart of Dublin.

The Shelbourne’s rich history is palpable as soon as you step through its stately entrance and pass the top hat and tails of the doormen. The hotel has played a major role in many historical moments, from hosting the drafting of Ireland’s constitution in 1922 to welcoming the world’s greatest musicians and actors.

Call Of The Wild — Luxury Safari In Botswana

13th November 2024

As the plane begins its descent over Chobe National Park, the view from the window is picture-perfect. The Okavango Delta stretches as far as the eye can see, winding and weaving its way through the marshland, its snakelike pattern is mesmerising. It's the closest thing to the Garden of Eden we can experience on earth. This region is the beating heart of Botswana and the lifeblood for an array of remarkable wildlife. Within its great expanse, elephants, hippos, giraffes and cheetahs roam freely. They put on a show unknowingly, offering visitors an all-access pass to their wild world. The flooded landscape of the Delta is truly special. Whether it be weaving through the reeds or kicking up dust on a dirt track, there is diversity day-to-day. With a focus on sustainability and eco-tourism, Botswana intentionally limits the number of visitors passing through, guaranteeing a level of exclusivity. Desert & Delta Safaris — the tour company founded in 1982 — is the only operator to consider when booking a Botswana safari. With a comprehensive property portfolio, travelling between camps is common and made possible via charter. The group’s integrated company, Safari Air, operates 12-seater aircrafts to carry guests between properties. Flying at low altitude, these lodge hops are a very scenic way to travel.

Synonymous with glitz and grandeur, St Moritz is undoubtedly the most exclusive of Alpine retreats.

Hotel Château du Grand-Lucé: Serenity in the Loire Valley

21st October 2024

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the sheer elegance of this 18th-century château, once the summer retreat of Baron Jacques Pineau de Viennay. Meticulously restored, it whispers stories of a bygone era whilst offering every indulgence a modern traveller could wish for. Stepping through its grand doors felt like entering a living museum, yet it is far from austere. The neoclassical architecture by Mathieu de Bayeux exudes sophistication, but what struck us most was the château’s surprising sense of warmth. American designer Timothy Corrigan’s restoration has been nothing short of masterful, and Paul and Shannon Wehsener have subtly reimagined the interiors with impeccable taste. Every room tells a tale, with Pierre Frey and de Gournay wallpapers adorning the walls, seamlessly paired with both antique treasures and modern comforts. The guest rooms are a sanctuary in themselves. We stayed in one of the 19 individually appointed rooms, where the original oak parquet floors and high ceilings enveloped us in serenity. The large casement windows opened onto stunning views of the formal French gardens – waking up to the sight of manicured hedgerows glimmering with dew was an experience in itself. The bed, dressed in the finest Pratesi linens, felt like sinking into a cloud, while the marble-clad bathroom with its clawfoot tub was the perfect retreat after a day spent exploring.
