The art was overwhelming, it was everywhere and I was wandering the hallways happily taking photos of everything. While this would be appropriate in an art museum, I was a guest at the art hotel, specifically The Henry Jones Art Hotel in Hobart, Tasmania. Tasmania is an Australian island a […]
Solo Dining in London can be tricky, at least for me over the years, as I’ve often felt really out of place. Through trial and error, I’ve developed my solo dining routine of places that I like and feel comfortable – places where the food is wonderful, the service attentive […]
From the moment I exit the taxi cab, I enter a world of comfort, design and a style that I long to be a part of – in my mind – the cool kids club. The boutique hotel spaces are magazine worthy and I want to be in the middle […]
