Some places are beautiful, some are memorable, and then there are places that somehow make you feel at home.

Staying at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, London, especially in the residence, felt exactly like that. Not like staying in a hotel, but like having my own little home in the middle of London. Slow mornings, breakfast in the room, wandering through Hanover Square, getting lost around Mayfair, coming back after a long day and sinking into the comfort of the spa…

There was something about the rhythm of it all that felt so naturally mine.

Maybe that’s what I love most about certain places. They don’t just give you a beautiful room or a beautiful view. They become part of your memories.

And somehow, even after leaving London, I still feel a little bit of home there. 🤍

Until next time, Mayfair.

Checked in at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, London London and, almost immediately, found myself at Hanover Bar for cocktails and a few small bites before heading to the Sam Smith concert at the London Coliseum.

And wow… The Hanover. One of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long time. 🍸

But honestly, tonight was about more than just a great drink or a beautiful bar.

Being back in London feels strangely familiar. This city was once my base in Europe, a place where so many chapters of my life happened. Coming back always brings back memories, but also reminds me of how much I’ve changed, grown, learned and experienced since then.

Sitting here at Hanover Bar, surrounded by the beautiful Mayfair views, with the lovely team at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, London , I suddenly felt that little wave of emotion again.

A beautiful welcome back, a very good cocktail, little bites before the concert, familiar faces, old memories and a night that reminded me just how much this city has shaped me.

Some cities become part of you.

London definitely did for me. ❤️

Back in Paris, even if only for a short stay, and somehow Hôtel du Louvre The Unbound Collection by Hyatt made it feel like I had all the time in the world. 🤍

I loved waking up in this corner suite, opening the balcony doors and having the Louvre right there in front of me. A 270° view of Paris, and one of the world’s most beautiful museums as my morning view… not a bad way to start the day.

Some mornings we simply stayed in, having breakfast in the suite, taking our time and enjoying the view. The room is spacious and bright, with a clean, understated feel and those little Parisian touches that make it feel very much like Paris.

And the location… honestly, it doesn’t get much better.

For a short Paris stop, this was exactly what I wanted: a beautiful room, a beautiful view, and that feeling of being right in the middle of Paris without having to rush anywhere.🇫🇷🤍

What makes Paris, Paris?

For me, it has always been the little things… sitting down for a beautiful meal, lingering over a glass of something, conversations that go on a little longer than planned, and that certain Parisian feeling you can’t quite put into words.

My September in Paris couldn’t have ended in a more beautiful way at Hôtel du Louvre 💙

I had some of those moments I love most about Paris here. Long lunches and dinners at brasseriedulouvre , surrounded by beautiful old world details and the energy of the city. Then evenings at L’Officine du Louvre, underneath its stunning glass roof, with a botanical cocktail, good conversation and that intimate Parisian atmosphere.

And coming back to my suite, opening the balcony doors and seeing the Louvre right in front of me… those are the moments I know I’ll remember.

Maybe that’s what Paris is really about. Not just the places you see, but how a place makes you feel.

And my September in Paris couldn’t have ended better. 🤍

Chloe and I honestly never wanted to leave our suite in Nice. 🤍

Our Panoramic Suite at the newly renovated Hôtel Palais de la Méditerranée is 80 sqm of beautiful Art Deco inspired interiors, opening onto an incredible 51 sqm private terrace overlooking the Mediterranean.

Slow mornings, staying in bed a little longer, breakfast in the room and stepping outside to this view. No alarm set. No rush. This is the kind of luxury I love most.

So good to be back here again. 🤍

After seven months of renovation and a €50 million transformation, the iconic Hôtel Palais de la Méditerranée has entered a new chapter as part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt Collection by .

It’s a beautiful reimagining of its Art Deco heritage, with a fresh Riviera spirit while keeping the soul of this legendary address on the Promenade des Anglais.

And for me, one of the most special things is still the view. Sunset and sunrise from the 51 sqm terrace of my Panoramic Suite is simply breathtaking! An impressive 80 sqm of interior space alone.

Some places simply have a way of making you feel at home again.

One of the most beautifully understated suites in Paris Hyatt Paris Madeleine with four private balconies unfolding into a spectacular 180° panorama over the city.

At sunset and blue hour, the view becomes pure Parisian magic, with the Haussmannian rooftops glowing beneath the changing sky. A truly beautiful way to experience the City of Light. ✨🇫🇷
