LLG Hotel Reviews: The Hotel du Vin, Birmingham

March 27, 2013 Hotels

I am generally well-disposed towards  Hotel du Vins. They’re usually in interesting buildings, located in Britain’s more interesting towns, with comfortable and considered rooms, and really good bistros with, as you may have worked out from the name, serious wine lists. When they first launched in the UK, they were pretty much the first proper […]

LLG Travel Review: Clift Hotel, San Francisco

February 18, 2013 Hotels

There’s a soft spot in my heart for the Morgans Hotel Group: I started my magazine career at Conde Nast Traveller back in the day, and its hotels were always at the top of our  review lists, as properties that always changed the way people thought about hotels. So I’ve reviewed them for work, and stayed […]

LLG Travels: Posetta Baddog Visits The Scarlet Hotel, Mawgan Porth, Cornwall.

January 1, 2013 Cornwall

( Mawgan Porth Beach, seen from the terrace of The Scarlet.) I’m sure I don’t have to explain just how far my nose was put out of joint when Mummy LLG & Mummy Lil’sis buggered off to The Scarlet Hotel in  Cornwall in the summer of 2010 without me.  I couldn’t believe it: beaches for me […]

LLG Travels: Hotel Review. Bailiffscourt Hotel & Spa, West Sussex

December 5, 2012 Hotels

Of all the hotels I have stayed in, Bailiffscourt is the one that has felt most like a home; granted if by that we mean the home of fabulously bonkers, gloriously eccentric and extremely wealthy (in that shrugged off English upper middle class manner) people.

Hotel Review: Hotel Pavillon de La Reine, Place des Vosges, Paris

November 26, 2012 Hotels

I’ve always adored staying away from home: the escape from quotidian reality, the Room of One’s Own…really the appeal is endless. I can get joy from a humble room above a pub, or a seaside B&B, a tent in a field, or a shiny five star: to me they are all equally enjoyable. So, whilst […]

LLG Hotel Reviews: The Legend Hotel, Saint Germain, Paris

October 17, 2012 Hotels

You may remember that during the AW12 pret a porter shows, I stayed in a hotel room in Paris that had a rabbit exploding out of the wall, mushrooms growing on the counterpane, and a Cheshire Cat draped upon the sofa. That was the Hotel Seven, and the glory of its Alice in Wonderland suite.  […]

On the last Bank Holiday my mama and I headed, with a dog each, to Winnie the Pooh country, deep in Ashdown Forest, East Sussex, about an hour and a half south of central London.

LLG Travels: Hotel de la Tremoille, Paris. Room Review

August 27, 2012 Hotels

I do like it when I can walk in to a hotel room, fling open French windows and just know that I am in Paris. A wrought iron balcony, sheer window shades, sun pouring in…it’s the stuff of romance. Shame that, as per, I was a seul.

LLG Travels: 24 hours in Paris

August 23, 2012 Hotels

Aside from the occasional holiday, I try to only travel for proper work purposes: to speak at conferences, attend fashion weeks — that kind of thing, as opposed to going on press trips to get stories. That’s because I am no longer a journalist with paid commissions to cover things — any time I spend […]
