Number 45 Curtain Road seems to have more lives than the proverbial cat. In the past decade alone it has been the Curtain boutique hotel, then the Mondrian. Now it’s Richard Branson’s first London hotel, set in a vibey faux-industrial Shoreditch space that wouldn’t look out of place in New York’s Meatpacking District, with its red brick and Crittall window exterior.

Ah, the golden age of travel, said no one flying in economy. Don’t mind us: we’re too busy trying to fold up our limbs so we take up as few cubic inches as possible, reassert our extremities on armrests or find a space for the puny handbag that was all we were allowed to take for free. Perhaps the boss of Emirates has a point. This week Sir Tim Clark said that economy class has long been ignored in favour of premium seats and is stuck in the 1990s.

Earlier this month I was in one of London’s newest hotels, scratching my head over one particular item in the bedroom. It wasn’t the king-sized bed, which was perfectly comfy and big enough for the five-year-old to practise his belly flops. Nor was it the light switches, so often a cause for confusion and rage in a hotel room; these ones were a perfectly straightforward on/off sort. No, it was that thing sitting primly next to the Crittall windows: a clawfoot bath.

When I tell people what I do, and that I fly on average once a fortnight, they find it hard to believe that I’m a nervous flyer. Since a severe bout of turbulence on an overnight flight home from Orlando, Florida, with my husband and son in 2022, where lightning hit the wings and the crew were strapped in silently for almost the entire eight hours, I’ve developed what could be called a mild aversion at best and a dark-of-the-night fear at worst.
