Brand new @anantararasalkhaimah overwater bungalow Brand new @anantararasalkhaimah overwater bungalows. You don’t have to go as far as the Maldives now to experience an overwater pool villa. Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE is only around 50 minutes from Dubai airport and a much calmer experience than the centre of Dubai. Great beaches and stunning mountains make this the nature Emirate. Other than that it is similar to Dubai in terms of high standards if service and alcohol is available in hotels. #pressstay #gifted #rasalkhaimah #uae🇦🇪 #luxuryhotel #luxurytravel #overwaterbungalow

The @hyattlondonstratford Hyatt Regency is situate The @hyattlondonstratford Hyatt Regency is situated right next to Westfield shopping centre and so many transport options from the DLR to Tubes to the Elizabeth line. It’s also on the edge of @queenelizabetholympicpark with a multitude of attractions to explore as well as restaurants with every type of food and some lovely terraces to dine on in this Indian summer. Review now live. Link in bio. #gifted  #newpost #stratfordlondon #westfieldstratford #luxuryhotel #luxurytravel #queenelizabetholympicpark #hyatt #hyattregency #londontrip
I was taken by surprise by @queenelizabetholympicp I was taken by surprise by @queenelizabetholympicpark and Stratford. I went to review the @hyattlondonstratford Regency hotel but was surprised at how easy it was to get there and get around London so easily. There’s so much on the doorstep from the Westfield shopping centre to the @londonaquaticcentre where Tom Daley trains. There’s a huge restaurant scene here with every sort of cuisine you can think of. I loved all the outdoor terraces to. I ate at Alpine restaurant @haugenldn and was impressed with the range of dishes from wild mushroom rosti to fondue. There’s also a great roof terrace. My review of the Hyatt Regency is now on the blog. #gifted #stratfordlondon #westfield #olympics #paralympics #luxurytravel #foodporn #hyattregency
@british_airways has a fun new way to mix a martin @british_airways has a fun new way to mix a martini table side in their Concorde Room at Heathrow T5. Those flying in First class or holding Gold Guest List or Premier status can access the exclusive lounge. The machine precision weighs each ingredient in a special “Turbine” martini recipe from top class mixologist @mrlyan  Although the recipe calls for Aviation Gin you can substitute it for another gin or vodka. The cleverly designed mixer then mixes it to precision. Inside it looks just like a jet engine. You can finish with a twist of lemon or olives. Cheers! #britishairways #heathrow #martinitime🍸 #cocktailart #mrlyan #mixology #firstclass #luxurytravel
