    AYANA Resort and Spa | Caroline Major
    They boast about it. In Sanskrit, Ayana means 'a place of refuge' - an apt description, as the resort is set on 77 hectares of land at the southern most tip of Bali, on some of the island's finest coastline. AYANA Resort and Spa uses seventy percent...
  • Amankila | Caroline Major
    Action, adventure and culture, or simple relaxation, sums up Amankila. An hour and a half away from the crowds, this gem of a luxury hotel nestles into the steep contours of the coastline in front of the mythical Mount Agung, Balis' tallest and most...
  • Shangri-La Bangkok | Caroline Major
    The luxury hotel Shangri-La Bangkok is next to the Chao Phraya River and the Taksin Sky Train station, and is also within 2 km of the Royal Palace. The Shangri-la boat departs from their Chao Praya pier for one of the best tours of the near-by...

  • The Dorchester | Caroline Major
    If you've been to The Dorchester in the last decade and been a little unimpressed by her faintly frumpy feel, it's time for a re-evaluation. The grand old lady has just stepped out in a brand new frock, and she is now the chicest grand dame on the...
  • Tawaraya Ryokan | Caroline Major
    The dark wooden floors and mud walls defining the twists and turns in the 300-year-old Tawaraya Ryokan disguise its age well. Maybe they're pine, maybe they're Japanese cypress; the family members who put them there have long since passed on. Today...
  • The Park Hyatt | Caroline Major
    The Park Hyatt Tokyo is a popular city hot-spot. It's often filled with smartly dressed locals meeting and dining in the bamboo garden, having rather grand lunches in Girandole and in the oh-so-fashionable New York Grill, looking out over the...
