JPG — Tue, 28 Aug 2018 05:22:55 +0000

Our kids’ sleep away camp does a week where you can have a family sleepover option with them. Being eating alive by mosquitoes in cabins with communal bathrooms and no WiFi?

Beijing is an enormous sprawling city and deciding where to stay in Beijing can be a daunting task. Since the former Palace Hotel (now Peninsula Beijing) opened in 1989, numerous 5 star hotels have opened in the city.

Shobha — Tue, 22 Nov 2016 14:04:59 +0000

If baby ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. I’m pretty sure that is a truism on any family trip. On the other hand, if your children like their hotel or resort on vacation, their happiness is contagious. Bearing that thought in mind, I asked some of the world’s best family travel bloggers what their kids considered...

Oceanfront Bliss at the Luxury Hotel Terranea near Los Angeles

Shobha — Mon, 14 Nov 2016 16:48:17 +0000

The Terranea Resort in Los Angeles does not wow you so much as lulls you into a comfortable, self-indulgent experience. The gently swaying palm trees, the fireplaces lit up to ward of the nip of the Atlantic air, and the view of Catalina Island covered in hazy sunshine all provide sensory clues to your body...

All That Glitters Is Gold Inside the Burj Al-Arab in Dubai

ny_lon@living1 — Tue, 24 May 2016 15:19:25 +0000

We got into the taxi and my husband realised he had forgotten the name of the restaurant where we were dining. For someone who is super-organised at work, he is remarkably forgetful as soon as he leaves the office. It was up to me to explain where we needed to go while he was trying...

Luxury Family Fun at the Shangri La Muscat in Oman

ny_lon@living1 — Wed, 06 Apr 2016 09:14:52 +0000

The half-hour drive from the airport to Shangri La Hotel on the outskirts of Muscat takes you through a dusty sandy-coloured landscape of mountains and valleys. Although the Middle East that I pictured had sand, this land looked completely different with its winding mountain paths through sand. After a tunnel takes you through the last...

Luxe Minimalism at the Chedi Muscat Hotel

ny_lon@living1 — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 23:59:45 +0000

We waffled back and forth on booking the Chedi Muscat Hotel. It was a choice between The Shangri La Hotel in Muscat and the Chedi Muscat Hotel. I know, I know – #firstworldproblems. We booked The Chedi, then changed over to the Shangri La because everyone said it was better for families. After 3 days...

Why Hotel Touring in Bologna is a Hidden Gem

ny_lon@living1 — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 22:53:20 +0000

Who doesn’t like value for money? I know I do. Finding a good quality three star hotel is like searching for a needle in a haystack. In my experience, many independent hotels (except for the ones associated with a reputable brand like Small Luxury Hotels) are generously allocated their star rating. We don’t tend to...
