Luxuria Lifestyle's Sam Mead reviews The Mandrake London

Some hotels offer luxury, others serve up personality. And then there are the rare gems that exist in a space entirely their own—enigmatic, immersive, otherworldly. The Mandrake Hotel in Fitzrovia is one such place. If the HBO series White Lotus ever needed a moody, theatrical London sequel, this would be its set.

Diane McLeish reviews Clara’s Barn on the Vergenoegd Löw wine estate

I felt a deep sense of respect for the generations who had walked the floors before me. Imagine entering a 330-year-old barn, yet now a beautifully appointed modern, fine dining restaurant on a working wine farm. Located on the Vergenoegd Löw wine estate just outside Stellenbosch, it is one of South Africa’s oldest working farms, dating back to 1696 and is just 30 minutes from Cape Town.

Dr Kubicka of Clinicbe: offers the latest technology for a natural-looking lift

“Snatched” is a word often thrown around after aesthetic treatments, but in my case, I’d prefer to say “beautifully contoured.”

This was my second visit to the incredible Dr Barbara Kubicka at Clinicbe, a discreet and stylish haven tucked away in a London mews.

I arrived for my follow-up appointment with Dr Kubicka to assess whether I needed a little Botox or filler top-up. I didn’t think I did, but Dr. Kubicka’s expert eye is far more discerning than mine.

LUXURIA LIFESTYLE Uncovers The Quiet Art Of Kaiseki At Roketsu

There’s a reverent stillness that greets you at Roketsu. The unassuming façade gives nothing away, but stepping inside feels like passing through a portal. The light shifts. Voices soften. Shoes click gently against the Oribe-glazed tiles of the Roji (the entrance space), where tradition is not simply referenced but lived. It doesn’t feel hidden, exactly, but more like something purposefully placed just outside the pace of everyday London – as if waiting for you to arrive quietly, and on time.
