The Excelsior, Dubrovnik

3 days ago | arbuturian.com | Katie Monk

One of the few hotels in Dubrovnik that stays open throughout the year, the five-star Excelsior has welcomed everyone from Queen Elizabeth and Margaret Thatcher to Agatha Christie and Che Guevara. There’s even a wall of fame near the hotel restaurant, with black-and-white photographs of all the illustrious guests that have graced its doors.
A Chelsea Bloom: Sloane Place

4 days ago | arbuturian.com | Anna Selby

Spring is here and, for Londoners at least, nothing epitomises this more than the Chelsea Flower Show. This year it’s from the 20th to the 24th of May and, as always, in Royal Hospital Gardens, the lovely park that surrounds the home of the Chelsea Pensioners, built by Sir Christopher Wren in 1692. The grounds were originally pleasure gardens with a Rotunda used for balls and where the young Mozart performed for the fashionable 18th century crowds.
In Praise of the Pub: The Unruly Pig

1 week ago | arbuturian.com | Sophie Mclean

The humble pub is celebrated in a series of events this summer, Pub in the Park, the UK’s largest food and music festival tour, showcasing the best of British pubs, restaurants, and chefs. Ahead of its launch, Sophie McLean visited the winner (again) of the UK’s Top Gastropub Award to see what makes this national institution prevail…There’s nothing better than a decent pub. The very best are literally that – a public house.
New Zealand's Natural Wonders, Part III: Marine Wildlife

1 week ago | arbuturian.com | Anna Selby

When Captain Cook arrived in New Zealand in 1770, his botanist, John Banks, recorded in his diary that the dawn chorus that would awaken him each morning in Queen Charlotte Sound was the most melodious wild music he had ever heard, almost as if the birds were imitating small bells. Of course, there then followed an influx of European migrants who brought with them various animals that preyed on the birds many of which were defenceless – often ground nesting and even flightless.
New Zealand's Natural Wonders, Part II: Geothermal Action

1 week ago | arbuturian.com | Anna Selby

It can be an eerie sight, watching steam rising from the earth in the morning sunshine. In New Zealand – and particularly in the area around Rotorua – however, it is not an unusual one. New Zealand possesses a very visible level of geothermal activity and in these parts the steam drifts upwards from river banks and parks, even the drains and gutters, and the unmistakable (and not exactly delicate) smell of sulphur hangs in the air.
The Brightening Air at The Old Vic

2 weeks ago | arbuturian.com | Anna Selby

Conor McPherson’s last show at the Old Vic, Girl from the North Country, was phenomenal. A Depression-era musical set in Minnesota may not sound like an uplifting experience but it was joyous, full of McPherson magic and with a bunch of Bob Dylan songs powering it along to the delight of the audience. (Dylan himself is said to have wept when he saw it.)His new offering is The Brightening Air set in an equally economically depressed 1980s County Sligo.
A Welcome Retreat in Windsor

2 weeks ago | arbuturian.com | Sophie Mclean

A royal blue sky welcomes passengers off the train at Windsor and Eton Riverside on a bright late February afternoon. Clouds like foamy suds in bathwater sweep between the colour as footsteps force gazes to adjust away from the railway lines and onto charcoal chimneys and turrets, and brick upon brick of Bagshot Heath stone. In case visitors need reminding of why they are here, The Royal Windsor pub is the first thing you’ll see upon exiting the station.
Penelope's | The Arbuturian

3 weeks ago | arbuturian.com | Anna Selby

Amano may not be a well-known hotel brand in the UK but it’s long established in Germany. Specialising in super-central locations, the first opened in Berlin in 2009 and soon spread to Munich, Leipzig and Dusseldorf. The most recent opening is in Covent Garden and, like its stable mates, it has cool styling with lots of dark shades, marble, velvet and understated golden accents – which might sound a bit glitzy but the result is actually rather elegant.
Notes from the Sofa: The Nu Who

3 weeks ago | arbuturian.com | Paul Joyce

Okay, so you want to remember who your favourite Dr Who is, or was? Can you name them all? In order? Here you go; William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann (the George Lazenby of the bunch), Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, John Hurt (yes, he counts), Peter Capaldi, David Bradley, Jodie Whittaker, Jo Martin, David Tennant and its present incumbent, Ncuti Gatwa.
Magdalena Plaza Sevilla

1 month ago | arbuturian.com | Katie Monk

Could there be anything nicer than spring in Seville? The flowers are in bloom, the scent of orange blossom floats on the breeze, the weather is warm but not scorching, and the summer hordes have yet to descend. As long as you avoid Semana Santa (unless you love crowds and incense), spring in Seville is where it’s at. Naturally, there are myriad hotels to choose from as your base, but I wanted to stay central – and ideally, not on a main road.
