INTERCONTINENTAL BANGKOK HOTEL REVIEW
Monday, 27 February 2017
I had a sombre mood before I checked into my flight on route to the Intercontinental Bangkok. I had purposely planned my Bangkok trip to fall on the 30th day, after the much-loved King Bhumibol Adulyadej had died. I expected the city to be in mourning. I wanted to share my respects too. 30 days

INTERCONTINENTAL KUALA LUMPUR HOTEL REVIEW
Monday, 27 February 2017
When I arrived at the Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur, I felt a bit like Caesar returning to Rome after years of fighting Barbarians in the wilderness. By the time I had checked out a few days later, I felt as if I’d won an Oscar. And that was the point. This was not a coincidence. This

Pan Pacific Hotel Review Singapore
Thursday, 23 February 2017

Hotel Indigo Bali Review

Grand Hyatt Bali Nusa Dua Hotel Review
Friday, 07 August 2015
Nusa Dua is a far departure from the frenetic pulse-beating bass of Bali’s Legian and Kuta bars. It is a world unto itself, vast swathes of greenness and manicured grasses dotted with fallen white frangipani petals. It is serene. Home to holiday resorts that are more like neighbouring Hollywood estates than hotel complexes. They sidle up next to each other without the blight of glowing neon billboards. They just blend beautifully into the background without being obtrusive, no matter how grand they are.

W Bangkok Hotel Review
Friday, 07 August 2015
Oh, my god, “Come to Papa!” Those were literally my first thoughts, as my taxi pulled up to the front of W Bangkok. I just knew I had arrived somewhere in the vicinity of heaven and all the angels were going to fawn over my bags and swallow me up into their air-conditioned abyss-of-a-lobby.
