For my business trip in Hong-Kong I simply chose an hotel close to my office at Time Square ; Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Causeway Bay is in the town center of HK and more precisely in the shopping/business district. It means you can easily walk to the subway or even to Convention Center and this is very pleasant. Globally the…

For a business trip top Hong-Kong I chose Air France to experiment for the first time this premium class and gain some miles. Actually it was not a bad idea and more or less a good value even if this company is not know for its luxury… At least it offers constant and pretty good service with a seat that…

For my second stay in Rome I chose a town center hotel (last time I was far away at Waldorf Rome) and I trusted Leading Hotels of the World to find a good place. The Majestic Roma is pretty cheap compared to others 5-star residences in the center so the choice was easy, even if the classical style was not…

For our trip in Thailand I wanted it to be very VIP. I first look at Emirates, which is supposed to have the second or third best first class, but I finally took the advantage of a Thai Airways’s offer, solding 30% off on their First Class rates in early 2012. What a luck ! We experimented probably the best…

Located in the east coast of Phuket facing Andaman sea, Banyan Tree Phuket is the brand’s flagship and a multi-awards winner, especially for its SPA ; it is part of the holding Laguna Resort which groups Banyan Tree Phulet, Dusi Thani Phuket, Angsana Phuket.

A hidden jewel in North Thailand where you can find serenity and relaxation. Not so hidden, because it has been rewarded lot of times by several magazine and official agencies mainly for its SPA. Well, you need to have some money for that, especially if you like pool villas, but you can’t find such a place anywhere in this country.…

Staying at the Peninsula Bangkok after à 12-hour flight from Paris is always delightful. It was the second time in this hotel and I have been personnaly greeted by the Hotel Manager upon arrival and straight accompanied to our suite, the 3rd best suite of the hotel, the Terrace Suite at the very last floor with Terrace and jaccuzi overlooking…

For our third stay in Bangkok I chose this hotel upon its brand’s name only. I know the Banyan Tree reputation and straight after a 4-night stay at the BT Phuket I wanted to test the BT Bangkok. Well, good choice but only thanks to the Presidential Suite I booked because common areas and general service quality is not at…

Switzerland is a small country with lot of luxury hotels ; find the best for your stay is not so easy. If you are in couple and want to relax in a pleasant and peaceful city, you should book the Beau-Rivage Palace at Lausanne. First, location is just perfect because straight on the lake Geneva shore with stunning views over…

Sometimes I like to book a Ritz-like hotel with a very classical style, top notch property and a VIP service. That’s what I did for our first stay in Roma with the Waldorf Rome Cavalieri, 5-star hotel – I should say “resort” –  on the heights of the city. The experience went far away our expectations and I highly recomment…

Venice is not a conventional city when you are looking for luxury. Indeed, most of palaces there are hidden in basic buildings and only few reviews exist about them. So to be sure I was not going to be disappointed I selected an hotel that could at least give me some loyalty points, an Hilton. What a good choice !…

When you plan a stay in Maldives the choice of the resort is primary. You have to check both the kind of villas proposed and the size of the island because you will not be able to go elsewhere once you arrive. So to be sure to have a perfect stay, I simply booked the #1 Maldivian resort multi-awarded by…
