one night in… Bangkok
If ever there is a befitting city for this blog series then of course it is Bangkok. After all it was Murray Head’s 1984 song ‘One night in Bangkok’ which inspired it in the first place.
one night in… Abu Dhabi
This was going to be a short night: my flight from London was delayed, rather unusual for Etihad, and by the time I got to the Viceroy Abu Dhabi it was 2 in the morning.
a conversation with fabio gallo, gm of ME london
In the General Manager series I am doing for Kiwi Collection, I am catching up with heads of hotels for some unique insight and perspective. For my first post, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Fabio Gallo of ME London, which is set to open November 8.
one night in… Paris
Paris is probably the only city in the world you don’t need to convince anyone to visit. As Audrey Hepburn famously said, “Paris is always a good idea” and the array of cultural, architectural and social venues that make the city so fabulous would go beyond the constraints of this blog.
one night in… Kitzbühel
Kitzbühel is most famous for its winter season: not only does the small Tyrolean town provide great skiing, cozy Après ski and lavish nightlife but it also offers a unique atmosphere, courtesy of a its scenic setting combined with authentic and genuine Austrian hospitality.

In the very heart of the Bavarian capital, tucked away in a quiet side street off famous Maximilianstrasse is the 73-room Mandarin Oriental Munich.
