Cabin Fever? Free yourselves this Easter.

Cabin fever finally driven you mad? You’ve been moaning, they’ve been moaning, You’re both lashing out at each other because you’ve not gone anywhere apart from Ikea and the supermarket and there’s stuff that needs doing round the house. It’s not their fault, their perfect. It’s not what you’ve wanted to achieve in 2010, you wanted to travel more and live life “to the full”. Take an Easter break before you kill each other.

The hotel room you choose is so important. So, which hotel we think you should stay in is a matter of what kind of couple you are.

If you’re a couple of media-lovers then Hotel Omm in Barcelona will be right up your modern street. Both equally as fashionable as you are well-travelled? Then the Lanchid 19 in Budapest will tick all your dapper boxes. Or, as we don’t all have our own summerhouses, try the warm and cosy lakeside Hotel J on Nacka Strand, Stockholm.

Diverse and hopelessly romantic? Then Krafft in Basel or the Hotel des Academies in Paris. However, what if you’re a new couple and you’re trying to avoid the obvious romance? Ca’Pisani Hotel in Venice might be appropriately placed for love but is so subtly seductive that it will put you completely at ease.

Enough of work, home, sleep, work.  Easter 2-5 April.

What is the deal with bunnies?

If like us you’ve survived the freakish winter, the new decade slog at work, the tedious post New Year chats, you’re probably starting to feel a bit like robots. Yes? Then, do something about it. We might not be able to offer you hot hot hot, but we can offer you a change of scenery. We know how sometimes you can’t pinpoint what you want so it blurts out as “sun, oh god the sun, I miss the sun”. It’s maybe not just the sun. We need a bit of variation as going to a different supermarket or taking a different route home is a start but it really isn’t as environment changing as we’d like.

We’re looking out for your needs, for your welfare and happiness. Think of us as something between a shoulder to cry on and fun fascists.

Go away for Easter – you have no idea how happy it will make you.

Check out these tips for couples and with friends.

Misero Prospero Project. Theatre in Budapest

Budapest’s flourishing cultural scene has a rapidly growing reputation for innovation and imagination.  The city pulses with creative energy and drive.  One theatre group in particular is making a name for themselves in the Hungarian capital and throughout Europe.

The Misero Prospero Project is a Budapest based group founded in 2007 by dancer and choreographer Daniela H. Faith along with playwright and stage director Carlos Rodero.  Working with theatrical imagery and movement the company blends a number of performance elements in their productions.  Faith was born in Mexico and later went on the study dance in New York.  She worked with various projects in Mexico and Spain before moving to Hungary.  Catalonian Carlos Rodero studied in Barcelona before taking a year to explore Europe, settling in Hungary at the end of 2000.   Their goals are to navigate and combine theatrical languages into an entrancing dramaturgy.

Lanchid 19 in Budapest joins White Line Hotels

We are delighted to share with you the LANCHID 19 in Budapest is the latest indie property to join our collection.

Surrounded by UNESCO World Heritage buildings and views to die for, the Lanchid 19 (Chain) is a testament to the newfangled spirit found in the historic yet progressive Hungarian capital, situated on the riverbanks of the mighty Danube.

The owners, a local duo, pulled together a regional team of both emerging and established local craftsmen, artists and designers. The brief was to reflect the influences of the river, capture the spirit of the new and pay respect to the history of the buildings’ location – the award winning result is visionary and has a direct link to the neighbourhood conversation with the past.

Powerful elements of water are translated throughout the build from the iconic movable glass façade which drapes the hotel– a piece of commissioned constructional artwork to the careful selection of furnishings that reflect some of the Bauhaus spirited movement with the modern approach of fun.

Discover the hotel for yourself over here.
