One-Minute Hotel / The Mayfair Townhouse, London
The address and the look of the place might seem very establishment but step inside this grand townhouse across the road from Green Park and you’ll find a decadent and dandy take on the overnight stay.
Cheers, thanks a lot, love Diana.
Will there be hair, you ask. Of course! Will there be wind machines? It’s what wind machines were invented for!
One-Minute Hotel / The Alice Hawthorn, Nun Monkton, Yorkshire
In a village that is picture perfect, up to and including Central Casting-quality ducks on the pond, is the ultimate village pub with rooms.
Princess Diana’s wedding dress to gawp at? Too fussy?
It may have emerged from the golden carriage horribly creased (well, they could hardly have a steamer in there, could they? It would have fogged the windows) but up close, in the current Royal Style in the Making exhibition at Kensington Palace, the wedding dress of HRH Diana, Princess of Wales is actually a bit of alright.
One-Minute Hotel / The Mitre, Hampton Court
Across the road from Henry VIII’s favourite palace - and one of ours! Coincidence? We don’t think so - is a riverside building conceived for courtiers by King Charles II. Which means it’s plenty good enough for the likes of you!
As one Curtain closes, the Mondrian Shoreditch opens!
We liked The Curtain, we just didn’t love it. We certainly didn’t love-love it. It just lacked a certain je ne sais what, if you know what we’re saying.
One-Minute Hotel / La Divine Comédie, Avignon
Is this the most beautiful guest-house in the whole wide world? We think it is. And we’ve been about a bit.
Halston. Our next favourite Netflix series
To the naked eye, it may look simply like a re-run of some of our old home movies but we are being forced to believe it is, in fact, the next blockbuster smash-hit series from Ryan Murphy
Mighty Hoopla Weekender, you say?
The last time we were in or near a Butlins we were two-thirds up the driveway before the front passenger seat piped up, ‘Turn the car round Paul, we’re not staying here!’
Looking Rose-y
We love a Rosewood. You know, grown-up hotels with all the swish you ever wanted – and some you didn’t know you wanted yet – and they’re on a bit of a roll right now.
Hey Mr. Pioneer DJ
We may not know anything about technology but we know what looks good and we know what sounds great, which is way more important.
Top, bottom and versatile.
Remember the night we took over the Byredo store in Soho? No, us neither.
The hottest, cutest, scariest gay thriller you’ve ever seen? Could be!
Remember anonymous, no-strings sexual encounters? Fun, weren’t they?
Is this Lake Como’s sexiest new address? (That’d be a yes.)
Guest house schmest house? Not once you’ve seen this place in Notting Hill!
If you’re like us and the term ‘guest house’ conjures up images of someone in Designers at Debenhams running a Blackpool b’n’b on Four In A Bed, then you might not even recognise this gorgeous new offering in on Portobello Road

It’s hotels, it’s madness… it’s hotel madness!
Five great shows on Netflix NO ONE is talking about
Never mind your Bridgertons and your Emilys in Paris (what the hell was that?), what about the series and one-offs that seem to have been ignored? Except by us, that is.
Booze as art. Sold!
The Experimental Group know their onions. Well, they’re know their booze, if we’re being pedantic, and who doesn’t like a bit of pedantry after midday. And booze.
Shut your mouth, Fran Lebowitz. Oh, OK, don’t then.
When it comes to smart chat, it doesn’t come any smarter than as dished out by one Fran Lebowitz, the clumpy-shoes lesbian raconteuse of Old New York.
