The Soho Hotel | Jamie Dunford WoodIt is this attention to detail that marks out boutique hotels, and The Soho Hotel is no exception. Where other hoteliers will use specialist hotel furnishing companies to kit out the basics, this luxury hotel remains individualistic. The facilities...-
JK Place

Jamie Dunford Wood
JK Place is a boutique hotel in the charming but slightly off-central square of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. It was created by the same architect who worked on the Ferragamo hotels, and the effect is a triumph of elegance and cool, modern...

La Reserve de Beaulieu

Jamie Dunford Wood
On a coast bristling with upmarket luxury hotels, La Reserve de Beaulieu is one of the most elegant of them all. Though not in the stand-alone class, say, of the stately Hotel du Cap Eden Roc, it is nevertheless an almost flawless example of a...
