Welcome to our July Newsletter 2025

As we contemplate the start of our 24^th year in business, and before we take you down to memory lane, we want to share some show rounds we had recently in London which we hope you will find interesting.

I like to call it the “James Bond alley”, tucked just steps from the Houses of Parliament, this elegant hotel is perfectly placed near the London Eye offering incredible views of the Thames and Big Ben.

A five-star hotel in the heart of London offering good value for money, the hotel has 280 bedrooms and Suites, whilst the adjoining Whitehall Place offers a striking selection of spaces, across 14 meeting and event rooms. The Whitehall Suite for instance, can host up to 260 delegates in a theatre Style or 120 delegates in a cabaret style.

Exciting additions are on the way this Autumn, including a private Cellar, Mr Kipling’s Tea room and the Whitehall Tavern. And don’t miss this hidden gem this summer: their English Garden Terrace, tucked away in the middle of London.

Over the years we have booked apartments in London and other UK Cities for our clients for both short and long stays in apartments in London for our clients.

I was lucky enough to stay at Locke near Aldgate, and I was very impressed by the security, the room with full air conditioning and plenty of space to work in the evening and excellent facilities. The rates are competitive for London, especially if booked in advance and we also receive preferential rates booking on behalf of our clients.

Locke is different to other hotels. And proudly so. As a brand of 16 Lifestyle Hotels around Europe, they are an approachable but confident brand, subtle but brave and unafraid of standing out and from that boldness comes an inclusivity and warmth.

Another example is the Ember Locke. (See pictures below)

With 121 glamorous rooms and social spaces housed within a reimagined Victorian townhouse you will be transported to London’s ‘golden era’ at Ember Locke, their lifestyle hotel in Kensington. Whether you are arranging a formal meeting or a casual chat. A one-to-one or a group get-together. With their West London coworking space, dedicated meeting rooms, garden and restaurant, there is bound to be a perfect space at Ember Locke, Kensington.

Explore their collection around Europe and see why this brand is making its mark in the forward-thinking, experience-rich and culturally aware gateway Cities. And with new hotels in Canary Wharf and Copenhagen coming in Q1 2026, this is a brand that has its sights set firmly on the future.

Welcome to our June Newsletter 2025

We are in the swing of things and finally Summer is coming our way. More daylights and longer days make us more positive

This month we are looking at the Algarve and “the city of lights”, Paris with three different properties and three different budgets.

The swanky W Algarve opened its doors for the first time in the Summer 2022, the property is 45 kms from Faro Airport (30 to 40 minutes by taxi) and 4.6kms from Albufeira Marina.

There are 134 bedrooms and 83 residences.

W Algarve is making waves in the MICE scene with spaces that break away from the boring boardroom. Think of creative, high-tech event spaces with ocean backdrops and laid-back luxury.

6 meeting spaces with a maximum capacity for 200 delegates theatre style or 160 delegates cabaret style indoor and 250 outdoor. Ideal group size up to 150 people.

Want it all? Take over the entire resort. A full buyout of W Algarve transforms it into your personal playground, whether it is an ultra-private corporate retreat, a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, or a high-profile launch.

W Algarve never slows down. From DJ takeovers and pool parties at WET Deck, to festivals at AIR, wellness retreats, and immersive local cultural experiences, there is always something happening, even in the so-called off-season.

The Hotel is in the heart of the 8^th Arrondissement with breathtaking views of the Arc de Triomphe.

The revival of an Art Deco legend in Paris, with 496 exceptionally appointed bedrooms, Suites and apartments, this 5-star hotel is a jewel in the centre of Paris.

With 10 exquisites meeting spaces with a maximum of 252 delegates in a cabaret style or 380 delegates in a classroom style, the hotel can cater to all your needs.

What else? 800 sqm2 of private gardens, a perfect location close to the Champs Elysee, an incredible Bar and renowned restaurant without forgetting the Wellness suite.

My favorite area in Paris, very bohemian, arty, and so easy to navigate from this district to the Eiffel Tower, le Louvres, Centre Pompidou and so many other areas.

Les Jardin du Marais is a good 4-star hotel, value for money, quirky and near the metro.

263 harmonious bedrooms and suites, a bar, a restaurant, a spa and sauna without forgetting the patio area. It has a blend of elegance with a 1930’s style.

There are 14 possibilities of meeting spaces combined with a maximum of 80 delegates in a Cabaret style or 120 delegates in a theatre style and 120 delegates for a cocktail reception.

This is more of a bijou smaller 3-star hotel with character. The location is very well known between La Bastille and La Nation. Easy to navigate once again to the main points of interest in Paris. 86 well-appointed bedrooms and 2 meeting spaces which can accommodate a maximum of 20 delegates in a classroom style or 30 delegates in a theatre style.
