How smart is your smart phone? I heard someone claim that there are still people out there that lead a happy life without a smartphone! Now I come to think of it; my own mother (84 years old) does not have one. And she does just fine, thanks for asking;-). But in all seriousness, don’t we […]

The W Singapore. Part 5
It’s finally time for the finale of my series on the W Singapore. We have explored the hotel’s Glowing Jungle theme, the AWAY spa, the restrooms, the art on display and it’s High Tea from a Birdcage.

The W Singapore. Part 4
So we explored the glowing jungle theme of the W Singapore, had a peek in the AWAY Spa and admired the decor in the restrooms. I am saving the most extravagant and amazing part for my fifth and final post about this hotel. That means that the art in the hotel and the High Tea […]
The W Singapore. Part 1.

My Über cool Pony sneakers
Recently we stayed at the W Hong Kong for a whole month. That is quite extraordinary for them. Apparently the hotel attracts mostly short term guests. And thus we were treated like special guests. Now I had seen a picture on the hotel’s Instagram of a special edition sneaker. It was a special edition from […]
Views on Hong Kong Island from in between buildings
I already showed you some beautiful views from our Cool Corner room at the W Hong Kong here, here and here. This is another small series of gorgeous views. This time it’s neighborhood Central on Hong Kong Island, seen between two buildings in front of the hotel. We see that area at different hours of […]

After looking at the area where the breakfast buffet is displayed and at the food that is available, it’s time to check out the dining area next door. Ofcourse this is designed nicely as well. What else can you expect in this hotel?;-). With surprising, quirky and fun elements here and there. Like this huge […]
