Moxy’s got Pride? Yeah it has!
We’re big fans of Moxy. There, we’ve said it. Among a handful of hotel brands that have, over the most recent of years, changed having a very nice time for an even nicer time – Standard, Kimpton, Locke, Edition among them – the emphasis being on having said fun in gorgeous surroundings with all the right people without having to sell off all your grandparents.
Is it a Pride? A festival? A retreat? Yes!
Do you want to get your chakras going like the clappers before slipping into something sparkly for some woodland dancing? Of course you do! You’re not an animal. Well, not all the time. How about some yoga followed by wild lake swimming and then some drag entertainment and a few drinks? Sign us up!
One-Minute Hotel / The Peninsula, Beverly Hills
One of the most famous hotels in the world manages to be understated and chic… but still ridiculously delicious!
15 Years of Summer? Can totally get on board with that!
Orlebar Brown – off-of great clothes, especially in the directional, summer-ready kind – has gone all 80s on our back bottoms. By which we mean WHAM! – yup, the band – and more specifically Club Tropicana. Because, shorty-shorts, much?
‘Tis the season for boozy terraces
Some things we love: a dry, crisp vodka martini with a twist. Whiskers on kittens. London in the summer. Terraces in London in the summer. Dry, crisp vodka martinis with twists on terraces in London in the summer. A kitten on a terrace.
Working on your 2024 diaries yet?
We’re nothing if not previous, so we’ve already put aside a decent chunk of 2024 – and considerable dollar bills for sensible yet stylish layering – for a jolly to what might just be the most exciting hotel opening of that year.
One-Minute Hotel / Kalesma, Mykonos
Is this the sleekest new hotel on the whole of the infamous gay party island? Undoubtedly. What a question!
When Neil and Chris met Marc and Dave
It’s like an 80s wet dream: the two gayest, most perfect synth-duos coming together - as it were - on one track that almost sounds like the best of both of them
One-Minute Hotel / The Modernist, Athens
Slick, sleek and pretty penny-pricewise. Is there anything wrong with Athens’ coolest new boutique hotel? That would be a no.
One should always have something sensational…
You may have read them. Or pretended to have read them. Or read about them. Well now you don’t have to because there is a new six-hour Netflix documentary series on The Andy Warhol Diaries
One-Minute Hotel / The Alan, Manchester
Super-cool and completely sustainable, The Alan changes the Manchester hotel scene for good
One-Minute Hotel / The Lodge at Sonoma, California
Wine Country? That sounds dangerous. Thank goodness we’ve found a beautiful sanctuary in the heart of it all.
One-Minute Hotel / The Little Nell, Aspen
Five-star luxury, sky-high mountains, drag skiing and go-go dancers in the snow… Gay Ski Week in Aspen is very much the thing…
Depeche Mode. Quickly!
Stumped for a gift idea for your edgier gay friend? We may have a solution. A good but quite expensive one.
One Hundred Shoreditch? 100%!
When we first heard they were messing with one of our favourite hotels - The Ace in Shoreditch - we wanted to have very strong words with the management. But like VERY strong words.
One-Minute Hotel / Monastero Santa Rosa, Amalfi Coast
An old convent perched on a cliff overlooking the Amalfi Coast is way too good for nuns, which is why they chucked them out and made it into a gorgeous hotel. Night, night Sister Maria…
Father Christmas is a TOTAL Daddy
Santa – who you may know from such classics as your chimney, Miracle on 34th Street, that grotto down the Arndale Centre and kissing yo Mamma underneath the mistletoe – has come out as gay.
Soho House round your house
Now, we’d all like to live in Soho House. Some of us practically do, and we blame them for making that perfectly acceptable house red so reasonable.
One-Minute Hotel / Five Acre Barn, Suffolk
A reasonably-priced architectural gem in the countryside perfect for a high-style getaway? Where are those wellies?
Look hot while doing sweet, sweet nothing
Orlebar Brown have launched their very first, very luxury loungewear collection, a very clever, stylish, soft-to-the-touch reaction to our NWOL (New Way Of Living).
