'HOTEL BERLIN, BERLIN' MOVES WITH THE TIMES

As I approached ‘Hotel Berlin, Berlin’ in the early evening, a neon blue strip cut across its angular façade, hinting at its mid-20th century roots while embracing the city’s constant evolution. Inside, an LED banner wrapped itself above the self-service reception, flashing contemporary art, just one example of the hotel’s blend of design, innovation and sustainability.

Kanpai Classic Soho: A Wagyu-Fuelled Symphony of Smoke, Style and Sublime Flavour

Right in the heart of Wardour Street, where Soho’s energy pulses through every neon sign and restaurant window, Kanpai Classic Soho stands out - not just for its sleek exterior but for what lies within: a bold reimagining of Japanese Wagyu dining. And when I say "reimagining", I mean it quite literally. This isn’t just a place for a good meal - it’s a steakhouse with a philosophy, a precision-crafted performance of meat, fire and flair, combining the elegance of a Kyoto tea ceremony with just enough Soho swagger to make it feel like the most exciting seat in town.

From the crackling sizzle of woks at dawn in bustling street markets to the soft glow of lanterns illuminating elegant banquet tables at dusk, every bite tells a story of heritage and creativity.

This palm-lined promenade in the heart of Cannes stretches seductively along the Mediterranean, flanked by designer boutiques, historic hotels and beach clubs where rosé and champagne are practically on tap!

40% of Britons Proudly Avoid Reading for an Entire Year

New YouGov Poll on British Readers for World Book Day

It’s World Book Day! That magical time of year when British schoolchildren are handed a free book voucher, which many will trade for something with large fonts, bright pictures, and an absolute minimum of actual words. The hope is that this will inspire them to continue reading into adulthood, where, statistically speaking, they will then promptly stop.
