Soothing your soul with a little jazz
Limes Hotel is the only hotel in Australia at the moment which is featured in Design Hotels. Lucky for me it is just a few blocks away from home in Brisbane. Tonight and every Wednesday they have live Jazz and $5 pizzas at the rooftop bar. It was my first time to the roof and … Continue reading
Nostalgic lighting at Maison Moschino
No lighting has ever been able to bring me back to my childhood quite like the pendant lights at Maison Moschino in Milan. The lights looked like big fluffy cream clouds almost good enough to pull down and eat. The clouds were shaped as poodles, squirrels, chickens and so much more, if the lobby was carpeted (or … Continue reading
Can you spot the difference?
Here is a photo of me at The Hotel Windsor in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago, reading the paper. That’s a lie, I am not ACTUALLY reading the paper.. and my excuse is pitiful. I do not read the paper firstly because I have never liked the way it makes my hands feel, they … Continue reading
A Penchant for the Written Word
Ace Hotel in New York City has a very strong love for the written word, everywhere you turn there is another big bold sign.

After such an amazing stay at the Establishment Hotel in Sydney, I wanted nothing more than to try the breakfast downstairs in the Gin Garden. In the wee hours of the morning the Gin Garden looks even more stunning than I ever remembered it, that being said, the only times I have been there it was dark … Continue reading
Hotel Heaven
Today a book called Hotel Heaven caught my eye at a sleepy little second hand store. At first glance i suspected it was a cheap romance or erotica novel, but as I read the fine print under the title I saw Confessions of a Luxury Hotel Addict. Of course I had to buy it and … Continue reading

Never give these up
Have you ever been presented with a little locals guide while checking in? In my experience, only some of the most “in the know” hotels make these little guides up (actually they are more like your weekly bible), and they should not be overlooked. Thanks to The Hoxton’s guide I have found some of my … Continue reading
The ol’ plug n chain
For as long as I can remember, I have never liked pulling the plug at the end of a bath. Diving your hand deep down into the murky water in an attempt to find the plug, only to find that your pruny fingers can’t grip it properly, after a forceful tug of war, you think … Continue reading
