Champagne cocktails, spa treatments and luxury leather seats. There’s a new move to towards pure travel hedonism and it all happens before you get to your destination.
Airports are odd places. Curiously sterile environments for tearful farewells, a last minute rush at duty free, or for nervous smokers to stick on a [...]

Best Cheap Hotel

Hotel Lenox tucked in behind the Rue de Saint Germain is cute as a button with a great little deco lobby. The rooms are tiny (but they all are in Paris) and slightly chintzy but the bathrooms are great and the location’s killer - just a few minutes walk from the Cafe de [...]

I found myself there for a few days put up at the Palazzo Versace, the first of possibly many Palazzo Versaces [...]

As usual, the need to leave the city for the weekend arose. I had been up to Woodstock, NY a few times in the past few years with friends. The first time I went up there was after I just moved to the city and I was amazed that only 1.5 hours away, I could [...]
