Each of the 29 15ft-high-ceiling suites at Jade Mountain is truly individual, and this a get-away-from-it-all paradise a world removed from could-be-anywhere homogenous chain hotels.

At the top of a hill above his original hotel Anse Chastanet, the architect owner dispensed with as many walls, windows and doors as possible - the suites are all open air! Walkways lend a sci-fi feel while coloured Aztec-y glass sculptures enhance its other-worldliness. Jade Mountain, St Lucia is a Caribbean property with a unique knack of bringing the outside in: my suite had a swimming pool half in the room and half uncovered one suite still has a red gommier tree growing through the floor and up through the roof. They have a fabulous palace-style hotel opening soon: Kinscem. I absolutely love the decor - upcycled in their own colourful, imaginative way, with lots of original art from local creatives. Lots of friends wondered why we’d chosen this Hungarian rendezvous… and I got great pleasure from introducing so many to this beautiful city and its delicious food and drink, and in particular this characterful bohemian boutique hotel and its members club.
I first fell in love with this cool independent city stay on a press trip last spring 2014 - then fast forward a year to when we had our wedding at its arts club, Brody Studios. Name three most special hotels you have ever stayed at…īrody House, Budapest is very special for me.
I always forget to look at TripAdvisor - until when I’m a hotel and I feel let down in some way and I check to see if others had a similar disappointment and usually someone’s shared my sentiments. I also really trust the New York Times when it comes to travel recommendations, and of course Condé Nast Traveller (I am biased as my food-lovers guide to the Isle of Wight is in the current July issue). I tend to be informed by friends who work in travel and whose taste I know is like mine.ĭaisy Bird, Carla Burt, Andria Mitsakos and Lysbeth Fox all run their own PR companies, and they are people whose opinions I really rely on: in the same way some people look to style bloggers. One chic image doesn’t truly reflect the feel of a hotel. Or perhaps I’ve seen a hotel in a magazine - but that can deceive thanks to a flattering brochure-style shot. Obviously I’m privileged to hear about lots of fabulously stylish hotels through Mr & Mrs Smith - if they’ve made our cut to get into the Smith Hotels collection that means they’re likely to be exactly my cup of tea: stylish and boutiquey. I’ll be honest, I’m a sucker first for how a hotel looks: outside and in.
