We had a nice stay in London we went to the Wired Conference and stayed at the My Fair. A glamorous heritage, bold design and distinctive style make the May Fair Hotel a true one off. Imbued with the energy of its central London location, in every sense it is the sum of its surroundings – a nucleus for new ideas, a hub for happenings of every kind. Lavish without being showy, dramatic without compromising on comfort and with service that’s attentive yet low-key, the…Continue Reading “May Fair Hotel / London / UK” →

The Boscolo Venezia, Autograph Collection, housed in the old and prestigious Rizzo-Patarol noble palace, is an excellent location for completely immersing yourself in the enchanting atmosphere of Venice.

The Boscolo HoteVenezia, Autograph Collection combines contemporary comfort with the ‘period luxury’ of the precious marble, splendid frescoes and…Continue Reading “Hotel Boscolo / Venezia / Italy” →

House & Hotel Magazine was in the beautiful city Tallinn. We checked in @ the Hotel Telegraaf and enjoyed this fantastic 5 Star hotel.

It was designed by the architect Peter Schreiberg from St. Petersburg and was originally a four storey house, the two topmost floors added later. Later on when the Republik of Estonia was established in 1918, the building was used as the…Continue Reading “Hotel Telegraaf /Tallinn / Estonia” →

I love stylish “old school” hotels. I like the Hotel Sacher. It was 1876 established by Eduard Sacher, son of the creator of the Original Sacher-Torte, a unique chocolate cake with a thin layer of apricot jam. 6 years later, Eduard wife Anna Sacher took over the hotel and established its noble reputation. “I am the Master in the house,” the Grande Dame of the Sacher-dynasty is known to have said. She loved cigars and little dogs; some say she owned several hundreds of them!…Continue Reading “Hotels we love – Hotel Sacher in Vienna” →

a deluxe hotel, located 300 metres out to sea on Princes Wharf, is a welcoming haven within 5 minutes’ walk from the city’s main area, the ferry terminal, the Viaduct Basin which is Auckland’s main tourist and entertainment stretch and within a stone’s throw of the theatres and the heart of the city. The hotel’s unique design and location make the most of this unique waterfront position, with the restaurant, Bellini Bar and most guest rooms having views over Auckland harbour. The hotel’s 160 designer-furnished…Continue Reading “Hilton Auckland / New Zealand” →

Yasou, House & Hotel Magazine loves to be in Greece, not only on the islands. This beautiful Hilton hotel in Athens was -long time ago- the fashionable playground of Jackie “O” and the international crowd in trendy cafes in Kolanoki Square. At the time, the Hilton was a newer hotel and a very busy location. A few things changed but it still is a great place. Take a drink at the bar and relax in a sophisticated setting enhanced by snug couches, wooden floors and…Continue Reading “Zorbas the Greek – Hotel Hilton / Athens / Greece” →
