1 month ago | luxurylondon.co.uk | Annie Lewis

Describing something as an ‘oasis’ in the centre of Dubai is certainly a bold statement.

Think of high-end ski resorts and France’s Michelin-starred haven Courchevel, the royal-approved slopes of Lech in Austria (Princess Diana was a fan), and the glitzy, glamorous Swiss wonderland of St Moritz probably spring to mind. The magical mountains of Megève, which fringes Mont Blanc within the Rhône-Alpes? Perhaps not so much – and that’s exactly what means this understated but sophisticated ski resort remains the preserve of those in the know.

Welcome to the European marathon season. A cornerstone of the global sporting calendar, Europe’s best running routes have been tactfully spread out across the year, ensuring athletes have the best shot at a PB while enjoying racing in milder temperatures, rather than the height of summer. With cities across the continent preparing to host thousands of contestants and spectators, these overseas marathons also present the perfect opportunity for a shoulder season city break.
Women in Luxury: Anya Hindmarch, fashion designer

1 month ago | luxurylondon.co.uk | Annie Lewis

Anya Hindmarch is not simply a fashion designer. She’s an author, innovator, tastemaker, ambassador, trustee, Dame, mother, and CEO – and someone who channels her full energy into anything and everything she’s passionate about. “I am a great believer in doing things to make things happen,” says Hindmarch – and, although it’s a simple statement, the amount of ‘things’ she dedicates her time to must mean she’s extremely good at spinning multiple plates.

When Raffles London opened in 2023, it didn’t only make headlines because it marked the luxury hoteliers’ first foray into the UK market, but also because it was chosen as gatekeeper of an important slice of British history. Housed within the perfectly-preserved OWO – formerly known as The Old War Office – the renovation of the Edwardian, Baroque-style behemoth was one of the most ambitious, heritage-rich developments London has ever seen.
