Few hotels in the world rival the majesty, hospitality and grandeur of The Fairmont Banff Springs resort. Styled after a Scottish Baronial Castle, The Fairmont Banff Springs hotel, a National Historical Site, is located in the heart of Banff National Park; a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The construction of the hotel in 1888 marked the birthplace of tourism in the Canadian Rockies. No where else will you be able to breath such fresh crisp air with all the luxuries you know you deserve.

If you are prepared to get a little wild and put into a wild environment start reading up on the Mala Mala Game Reserve. At this private facility you will be face to face with some of the most amazing creatures that roam the Earth. The highlights are the Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo and Rhinoceros which you are almost always going to see. And once you are done filling up your memory cards with breathtaking images you can head back to camp where you will step into a life a pampered luxury. Crazy wild animals during the day and massages and glasses of wine at night sounds like a pretty sweet vacation to us.

August, we love August, but it also means that summer is almost over. It feels like it just started right? Well we’re planning a last minute trip to Europe and have laid out our shortlist of places, one activity, and a must-have app.
Moving left to right, top to bottom our first option is The Zetter Hotel in London because if it’s ever not raining in London, it’s probably not raining in August.
Next option is Paris, we loooove the city of lights, we love to eat, we love to shop, we love good looking people. This city has them all and the Seven Hotel in Paris is a wonderful place to stay.
Spain anybody? Barcelona is a beautiful, metropolitan city, that doesn’t feel that way. Plenty to do without getting bogged down by city life. For this stay we’re thinking Hotel Omm, but if the Omm is not your thing, you can’t go wrong with the Mandarin Oriental in Barcelona.
Been to Berlin? Amazing city, multi-cultural, plenty to see, modern yet has that old world feel at the same time. We want to stay in Berlin Mitte so we’d probably check out Soho House Berlin.
We have lots of places we want to go, and we like to see touristy things, but since we’re also so interested in design we always carry around our Wallpaper* City Guide around with us, this one just happens to be in the form of an iphone app, making it THAT much more convenient. There’s a great selection of available cities.
The above selections are all great but sometimes you just want to get away, a country vacation, and The Castello di Vicarello in the heart of Tuscany would definitely be EXACTLY what the doctor ordered.
Trains… There really is no better way to see the country side than hitting the railways. Why not do it in style with the TGV High Speed Train, we will be in Europe after all.
Another alternative to the whole country escape would be a small quiet town. Vorstadt 14 is reason enough to pay a visit to Switzerland, any other adventure would just be an added bonus.
Finally, Istanbul is always on our mind. Amazing food, amazing party-scene, and great historical attractions. We’ll be staying at The W Hotel for a great mix of Ottoman and modern styles.
Decisions, decisions. Luckily, we really can’t go wrong with any of the choices listed above.

Unique room designs with exquisite and refined taste in the heart of Istanbul, what more could you ask for? Well, how about Spas, steam rooms and traditional Turkish baths? If that’s still not enough there is also 24 hour concierge service, bars, restaurants, shopping, work areas, gyms, pools, etc… Really you name it they probably can get it for you. But for us nothing beats hitting the beautiful city, staying out all night and then coming back to a comfortable well designed room to unwind a little and get a couple hours sleep to gear up for the next day. The Park Hyatt in Istanbul will not disappoint and we guarantee you the city will give you more than you could ever imagine.

But the best part is you will be staying in comfort and have the rest of the city only a few steps away.
