The Ivy Asia St Paul's Review

1 week ago | theluxuryeditor.com | Simon Rumley |Ross Fraser |Fran Miller

One New Change, a stone’s throw away from Bank and St Paul’s underground stations, is a smooth concrete slab of a shopping mall and virtually deserted. We only spot two other people and they’re dining somewhat sadly inside Zizzi’s. Outside The Ivy Asia, however, we’re surprised to see a queue. It’s a small queue. Three women. A little excited, a little boisterous. Things take an even more unexpected turn when the receptionist explains they’ll have to wait at the bar until a table frees up.

Tom Brown at The Capital Review

3 weeks ago | theluxuryeditor.com | Simon Rumley |Ross Fraser

A few streets behind Harrods, just about diagonally opposite Sal e Pepe, a large, fluttering Union Jack marks the spot above a small, otherwise unobtrusive entrance. The Capital is a boutique hotel which blends in with its smart neighbourhood and boasts a rich culinary history. Dating back to an early ‘70s launch, it soon became one of the city’s first hotel restaurants to gain a Michelin star.

The Siam Review - The Luxury Editor

1 month ago | theluxuryeditor.com | Simon Rumley

Brainchild of multi-hyphenate pop culturist hotelier, Krissada Sukosol Clapp, The Siam is spectacular from the moment you step inside its hermetic world and is one you won’t want to leave. Designed by the irrepressible Bill Bensley, it mixes a monochromatic art deco aesthetic with a benign jungle vibe offering pleasing symmetry wherever you look, slightly reminiscent, at times, of Jodorowsky’s Holy Mountain.
