If there was one word that described a stay at a Belmond property to us, it would be “warmth”. Situated in some of the most beautiful cities and locales in the world, we always love booking our clients in with Belmond. Offering hotels, trains and also cruises, there is true luxury and style to be had here. This is especially evident today, as the group was recently acquired by the legendary luxury conglomerate LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy). Celebrating local tradition, community and cuisine across the globe, Belmond creates luxury experiences that are as authentic as they are unique.

Kit has designed the interiors of each hotel in her unique personal way, which reflects a fresh, modern English style.

We love Park Hyatt properties for their style and simplicity (and the Le Labo amenities!)

Part of the Hyatt group, Andaz is a seriously cool collection of hotels. Meaning “personal style” in Hindi, the group is very much about individuality, colour and character.
