The thing with Singapore is a hotel opens and six months’ later, it is so jam-packed, you can hardly find space for you and your baggage in the lobby as you try to check in. This is Boomtown and make no mistake.
So it is nice to discover there is a [...]

TO STAY CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
The Montalembert is a fashion favourite. At Christmas time, you can curl up by the fire, nibble on gorgeous Christmas treats (thanks to the great in-house chef) and then wander out to eat chestnuts [...]

There’s a lot to love about Dive. It’s an intimate, boutique hotel, well put together and with a perfect location just across the road from one of the best city beaches you’ll find anywhere in the world. If you’ve chosen to be this close to the water it’s a shame [...]

Home. That’s what Le Richemond, Geneva feels like, although you may wish your home was this well appointed.
Geneva is a funny city to stay in, given its hotel population is a weird mix of the world’s activists attending conferences at any of the many UN agencies and the world’s wealthy visiting [...]

18-29?
30-49?
All grown up?
Take your age into account when selecting your room in Singapore, where it’s hard to keep up, given they seem to open a new hotel every minute. The reason for that? About 1 million visitors a month stopover in Singapore, which only had 44,000 hotel rooms [...]

Here at RunawayNow, we usually only share things with our readers that we’ve actually experienced, but as this is debuting in September and seems like a once in a lifetime experience, a preview:

Exhausted. Need to get away. Need to be pampered. Need delicious food. Need to just sink into a bliss of having everything PERFECT.
Now that the commute to Morocco has got so much better again (from the UK, British Airways have reintroduced the London-to-Marrakech route, meaning –Hallelujah — no more Royal Air [...]
