We’ve been known to choose a hotel because of a chair. Or a staircase. A particularly good piece of marble. A lobby that makes us immediately reconsider everything in our own sitting room. For some of us at RASK, what’s inside a hotel matters almost as much as where it is. And right now, hotel […]

Frankfurt wasn’t somewhere we’d considered for a weekend away – until The Florentin changed our minds. We checked in for a RASK team celebration and found art-filled spaces, a brilliant spa, courtyard breakfasts and a city well worth a closer look.

There are certain names in travel that need little introduction. The Ritz. The Savoy. Riva. Concorde. Orient Express belongs in that company. For well over a century, it has represented something far greater than simply travelling from one place to another. It’s about slowing the journey down. Lingering over beautifully prepared lunches as vineyards drift […]

There are certain invitations that are impossible to turn down. When Accor invited me aboard Orient Express Corinthian as one of its Preferred Partners, I knew this would be something rather special. Not only is it the first sailing yacht from the legendary Orient Express brand, but it’s also the largest sailing yacht in the […]

The reopening of Aman Sveti Stefan earlier this week felt like more than just another hotel returning to business. It also felt like the perfect moment to take a closer look at Aman’s new hotel openings, from the beaches of Baja California to the mountains of Japan. For five years, one of Europe’s most iconic […]

On the 18th June 2026, the UK government lifted its advice against all but essential travel to the UAE, marking one of the most significant travel updates of the year for anyone planning a trip to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or the Indian Ocean. That’s welcome news for Dubai. It’s also welcome news for some of […]

Few hotel brands have managed to remain as consistently relevant as Four Seasons. In an industry that often chases trends, Four Seasons has spent decades refining something far more difficult: consistency. Whether you’re checking into a city hotel in London, a beach resort in the Caribbean, or a safari lodge in Africa, there’s a confidence […]

Some destinations work brilliantly for couples. Others are made for families. A handful are particularly good for multi-generational trips. Mallorca manages all three. It’s one of the reasons the island continues to attract such a broad mix of travellers year after year. Flights are straightforward from across Europe, the weather is reliable for much of […]

Global Wellness Day arrives every June with a simple reminder: make time for your wellbeing. What that actually looks like, however, is becoming increasingly personal. For some travellers, wellness means a structured programme, expert consultations, and measurable health goals. For others, it’s a week spent hiking through the Himalayas, swimming in the Seychelles, exploring Tuscany […]

The Caribbean has always had a habit of pulling people back. Sometimes it’s the weather in the middle of February. Sometimes it’s the water – that impossible spectrum of turquoise that never quite looks real, even after a week of staring at it. More often, it’s the feeling of island life itself: music drifting out […]
