Along a quiet residential street, just ten minutes’ walk from the centre of Antwerp, black lacquer doors conceal the best-kept secret in the city; a Pandora’s Box that threatens to ruin all future hotel experiences once opened. Simply put, this is a hotel like no other. Cabosse is a four-suite spa hotel housed in aContinue reading “Guesthouse Cabosse, Antwerp”

Native, Antwerp
On a mild October afternoon we set off in search of something wholesome to absolve ourselves of the previous night’s indulgences. Down a quiet street in the centre of Antwerp, our prayers are answered in the form of Native: a homely neighbourhood restaurant with a strong focus on local, seasonal and natural produce. It’s aContinue reading “Native, Antwerp”
Prezident Palace, Belgrade
In a world of yoga retreats, eco-resorts and minimalist design, Prezident Palace isn’t trying to fit in. In fact, this five star mini-palace in Belgrade’s old town is a self-proclaimed homage to Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI, two of history’s most extravagant figures. If we’re to eat cake, it’s Serbian Vasina torta in thisContinue reading “Prezident Palace, Belgrade”
Lala Vineyard Glamping Resort, Serbia
What do you picture when you imagine camping in rural Serbia? We can almost guarantee you that it’s not infinity pools, air conditioning and sunset wine tasting on the terrace. Lala Vineyard is here to shatter your misconceptions. Situated minutes from the Fruška Gora national park, this is Serbia’s wine country and Lala Vineyard is,Continue reading “Lala Vineyard Glamping Resort, Serbia”
Roxanich Winery and Design Hotel, Istria
Winery hotels are having a moment. For many places, the title seems to signify little more than a hotel that sells wine. Roxanich Winery and Design Hotel, however, is the purest form of the definition; a winery first and foremost, which offers luxury accommodation and all the bells and whistles that go alongside. And itContinue reading “Roxanich Winery and Design Hotel, Istria”
24h in Ghent, Belgium
It feels like Ghent is laying low, waiting for tourists to discover what we already have: that it’s one of the most special places in Belgium – one that the majority of visitors don’t realise they should have on their list to begin with. We know, we know – Bruges is beautiful. We’ve seen theContinue reading “24h in Ghent, Belgium”
Hostal dos Reis Católicos, Galicia
The Hostal dos Reis Católicos in Santiago de Compostela is a place of many contradictions. For a start, it’s probably one of few five star hotels where the majority of the guests arrive with rucksacks and walking boots. And don’t be fooled by the name – while Spanish ‘hostals’ are generally more affordable, no-frills hotels,Continue reading “Hostal dos Reis Católicos, Galicia”
Bô Zin, Marrakech
If the Grand Café de la Poste is the grandmother of Marrakech hospitality – a stalwart of its French roots and complex political history – then Bô Zin is most definitely its young, rebellious grandchild: a symbol of the new generation. Located around 20 mins from the medina and old Marrakech, Bô Zin sits byContinue reading “Bô Zin, Marrakech”
Riad Kheirredine, Marrakech
The name Kheirredine is a variant of the Arabic Kheir or Khair, meaning best, benevolent and giving. So it’s fitting that its namesake, Riad Kheirredine in Marrakech’s medina, provides guests a level of service that is quite simply among the best – perhaps the best – we’ve ever experienced. Hidden away down one of theContinue reading “Riad Kheirredine, Marrakech”
Le Grand Café de la Poste, Marrakech
It feels like the word ‘institution’ is used for just about anything these days. But there is no truer culinary institution in Marrakech than the Grand Café de la Poste. Built during the French protectorate period in the 1920s, it was the first building in the Guéliz (new town) area of the city and –Continue reading “Le Grand Café de la Poste, Marrakech”
