What a great airport Bermuda is. No queues. Friend What a great airport Bermuda is. No queues. Friendly security staff. You clear the US Border and customs here which is great. You could also do your Global Entry interview here. It’s often cheaper to fly via NYC than direct to Bermuda and makes a great twin centre holiday. #airport #bermuda #instaviation #instatravel #luxurytravel

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
It’s been far too long since I’ve been to @cor It’s been far too long since I’ve been to @corinthialondon In my opinion this has the best spa in London with a hydrotherapy pool, swimming pool, sauna and steam along with heated loungers by fireplaces. The beds are unbelievably comfy, so much so I went out and bought the same brand of bed for my house! You can also eat in Tom Kerridge’s restaurant or have a romantic cocktail in the Velvet room. #luxurylondon #luxuryhotel #visitlondon #luxurytravel
I spent some time touring round Scotland this summ I spent some time touring round Scotland this summer and came across this magical hotel when I was researching. Situated on a private island with stunning views is something very special. With hilltop jacuzzi suites, a spa with a pool and two great restaurants you won’t want to leave. The highlight was definitely @erniechef The Deck restaurant from the amazing views to the beautiful local Scottish seafood. Although my favourite dish was the cheese course with torched Tunworth and caviar. #luxurytravel #luxuryhotel #luxuryscotland #travelgram #luxuryblogger #smallluxuryhotelsoftheworld #oban #scotlandtravel
