Castlemartyr Resort Review

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

Set within 220 acres of parkland amidst the woodlands of East Cork, Castlemartyr Resort offers an indulgent luxury escape, an 18th-century manor house, expanded and adapted to 21st-century hospitality, right next door to the ruins of a 13th-century Templar castle. The eleven rooms and suites that occupy the original manor house are historical in aspect, whilst in the Contemporary Wing, the look evolves in a modern direction.
The Roundtree, Amagansett Review

3 weeks ago | theluxuryeditor.com | Fran Miller |Simon Rumley |Andrew Forbes

There’s an undeniable magic to East Hampton, where the light is cinematic, and the dunes are pristine. In Amagansett, a bohemian town that wears its affluence well, the vibe is understated and just slightly aloof—it’s a place where famous faces can retreat in anonymity, even when strolling the glorious farmer’s market, or perusing the latest bestsellers at the local bookstore. It might all seem like a movie set, an impression furthered by a peek at The Roundtree.

Located, like most of Brisbane’s hotels, in the Central Business District, the Westin is a fresh, neat and tidy hotel which bounds with natural colours and a healthy addition of greenery. A tall contemporary art like metal sculpture on Mary Street announces its Italian restaurant, Settimo to the world with colourful flair. But, its snazzy swim-up bar at the Nautilus pool is the only one of its kind in Brisbane, making it a fun selling point.
