On the sun-kissed shores of Seminyak, Bali, where the sound of crashing waves meets bohemian beach culture, there’s a place that captures the island’s energy with style, serenity, and a distinctly Balinese soul: Sini Vie Resort & Spa Seminyak by Ini Vie Hospitality.

Newcastle has always known how to party, but Hotel Gotham has officially upped the ante. As the city’s first true five star stay, it is housed in the former fire station on Pilgrim Street. This bold boutique beauty is packed with personality, a bit of theatrical flair, and a sense of fun that is impossible to miss.

This is only phase one. With 60 rooms currently open and a second chapter arriving soon, Gotham is transforming the old police station next door into even more rooms and event spaces. If the current vibe is anything to go by, Newcastle is in for a wild ride.

In a world that moves fast, scrolls endlessly, and collects destinations like trophies, slow travel is quietly reasserting its power. It asks us to stay longer, listen deeper, and feel more. To arrive not as a consumer, but as a guest. Nestled in the village of Sayan, just outside Ubud’s creative heart, Uma Kalai is a place that understands this philosophy instinctively.

This is not a hotel you “do.” It is a place you settle into. One that unfolds gently over days, where time stretches, routines soften, and the boundaries between guest and host blur into something far more human.

Situated in one of Porto’s most atmospheric neighborhoods, The Editory House Ribeira Hotel (@editoryhotels) is a destination that reflects the essence of this historic city: creative, vibrant, elegant, and unmistakably Portuguese. Sleep steps from the winding cobblestone streets of the Ribeira district, where centuries-old facades overlook the Douro River, and enjoy design-driven comfort that feels thoroughly modern yet deeply rooted in place.

Tucked into the mountainous northwest coast of Mallorca, where citrus groves meet cobblestone streets and Mediterranean light seems to glow longer than anywhere else, Can Veri Suites stands as a boutique haven of relaxed elegance. This is a place where modern design intersects with local charm, and every moment feels like part of a peaceful Mediterranean story.

Whether you’re exploring Sóller’s historic core, riding the old wooden tram to the port, or simply lingering over a long breakfast terrace view, Can Veri Suites makes each day feel beautifully unhurried.

Devasom — meaning “the abode of the angels.”
A place where Thai heritage, thoughtful design, and the gentle rhythm of the Andaman Sea come together in quiet harmony.
Here, days unfold slowly: barefoot mornings, ritual-filled afternoons, and evenings softened by light, breeze, and beauty.
In Khao Lak, Devasom lives up to its name — a sanctuary for rest, reverence, and reconnection.

This charming Airbnb in Brussels is the kind of place you’re happy to come back to. 

Set in the European Quarter, this apartment feels calm and charming the moment you step inside. The high ceilings, big windows, and classic Brussels architecture flood the place with natural light, while the spacious living room and comfortable beds make it easy to unwind after a long day exploring.

This experience is not only shaped by the space itself, but by the care behind it. Subtle details, a sense of ease and a warm welcome that makes you feel at home from the first moment. A stay that stays with you long after you leave. 

When you imagine Iceland’s wild beauty — sweeping volcanic landscapes, shimmering glaciers, and skies that dance with the Northern Lights — picture a place where the stars feel close enough to touch and the silence has its own breath. Aurora Igloo (@auroraigloo) in Hella, Iceland is exactly that kind of experience: an intimate, otherworldly stay where nature puts on the show, and your room is right in the midst of it.

Here’s a story-style look at what makes Aurora Igloo an unforgettable Arctic escape.

Nestled in the breathtaking alpine village of Zermatt, where snowy peaks rise like ancient guardians and the iconic Matterhorn stands in perfect silhouette, Silvana Mountain Hotel (@hotelsilvanazermatt) is a refined alpine retreat that combines classic Swiss charm, modern comfort, and world-class hospitality. It’s the kind of place where cozy warmth meets fresh mountain air — perfect for both adventure seekers and travelers craving serene mountain luxury.

A stay @vilafozhotel feels like a study in light, texture, and calm.

From the serene, spacious bedroom to the quietly elegant rituals in the spa, every detail felt considered. Heritage and soft opulence shaped the shared spaces, balanced by a modern sensitivity throughout.

The experience was anchored by a very special MICHELIN-starred tasting menu experience, where delicious flavours of the coast were savoured slowly and joyfully.

Refined. Grounding. Memorable.

Imagine staying at @binantwerp, where every room is thoughtfully and elegantly designed.
You wake up slowly, light filtering through the curtains, taking a quiet moment just for yourself. A long, relaxing bath — in the morning or after a full day in Antwerp — followed by time spent in the cozy corners of your room, doing absolutely nothing.

This is the kind of stay that invites you to slow down, unwind, and truly enjoy the moment.

(please invite the hotel as well as a collaborator for the carousel and reel)

Reel #1:

Slow mornings at @binantwerp, starting the day in the Deluxe Room 2.
Soft light, quiet moments, and a space designed to slow you down — the kind of hotel stay where you don’t rush, you linger.

Exactly how mornings in Antwerp should feel.

Reel #2:

Walking through the rooms of @binantwerp, where every space has its own atmosphere and personality.
Different layouts, textures, and details — all designed with the same quiet attention to comfort and design.

A hotel where exploring the rooms feels like part of the experience.

We booked a night at @yalohotel for two celebrations in one night: an anniversary and a birthday with ‘The Ultimate Date Night’ experience package.

What we didn’t expect was how easy everything felt the moment we arrived. Very friendly staff at reception and the bar (Eline & Seraga).

Once we arrived in the room, there was a sexy arrangement waiting, well, let’s say, we didn’t expect what was presented on the bed!

Then we had a yummy dinner and drinks at the restaurant. We ordered Smokey steak tartar, BBQ Seabass buillilabaisse, and Rigatoni creamy lobster, with a glass of house wine from the hotel’s owner’s vineyard.

The Yalove gave extended check-out time at 1pm, we woke up earlier to enjoy our breakfast buffet. 

We felt so relaxed after our stay and totally forgot it was only Wednesday!

In a city known for fog-kissed hills, iconic bridges, and neighborhoods that pulse with character, The Staypineapple captures the essence of San Francisco — clever, colorful, unpretentious, and warmly inviting. At a time when travelers crave spaces that feel like a friendly home away from home, this playful hotel brand brings personality, comfort, and a unique sparkle to the Bay Area experience.

There are few places in Scotland, or in the world, where you instantly feel seen, welcomed, and truly at home the moment you arrive. Gleneagles, set on 850 acres of rolling Perthshire countryside, is one of them. From the stately façade to the warm hellos from the team at the door, it’s a hotel that doesn’t just open its doors - it opens its heart. 

I’ve been to a few of Gleneagles’ Birnam brunches - a monthly feast of fresh dishes, cocktails, seafood and pasta with music filling the air.

There’s something rare about a place where the team makes you genuinely feel you belong. From the welcome drink in hand to the warm introductions and directions, there’s no awkwardness, no uncertainty - just ease. Perhaps that’s the truest form of luxury: not the opulence itself but the way a place makes you rest into yourself.

There are country house hotels that impress, and then there are those that inhabit you quietly, settling into your senses long after you have left. Bodysgallen Hall & Spa, a distinguished member of Historic House Hotels, belongs firmly to the latter. Set within 200 acres of National Trust parkland on the edge of North Wales, this Grade I listed 17th-century hall offers not spectacle, but something rarer: a feeling of gracious continuity, as though life has been unfolding beautifully here for centuries and you have simply slipped into its rhythm.

Set gently into the forested hills of Emerald Bay, Rosewood Phuket is a refined expression of the brand’s guiding philosophy, A Sense of Place. Rather than replicating a global luxury template, the resort is shaped by its setting, its geography, its cultural memory and its natural rhythms, allowing Phuket itself to become the true protagonist of the experience.

This is luxury that listens first.

When a global hospitality brand shifts, it rarely happens quietly. Often the signal appears not in boardrooms or brand decks but in a single hotel — the kind that crystallises a new design language, a new way of defining luxury, a new understanding of how guests want to feel.

In Bangkok, that signal has arrived. Its name is KROMO Bangkok, the newest member of the Curio Collection by Hilton, and the clearest indication yet that the collection is embracing a more creative, culturally engaged, and visually expressive chapter.

Tucked gently behind the lively shoreline of Ao Nang, Pakasai Resort feels like a pause button. A place where the tempo softens, greenery takes the lead, and sustainability is not a headline but a lived philosophy. While Krabi is often celebrated for its dramatic limestone cliffs and island-hopping adventures, Pakasai offers a different lens on the destination. One that is calm, considered, and quietly restorative.

In a city known for its raw landscapes, shifting light, and understated Nordic design, Hotel Múli offers a refreshingly simple and comfortable place to stay in Reykjavík. Located slightly outside the city’s busiest tourist streets, the hotel provides a quiet, practical base for travelers who value ease, warmth, and thoughtful design over excess.

Hotel Múli is not about spectacle — it’s about comfort done well. A place that feels welcoming after long days spent exploring Iceland’s dramatic nature or wandering Reykjavík’s creative neighborhoods.
