Singapore. Don’t talk about architecture

The first edition of what is intended to turn into a bi-annual architecture conference, is named after a quote from Swiss architect Le Corbusier. “I don’t want to talk about architecture” he famously stated. “Lets Not Talk About Architecture”, taking place from the 2 – 4 of August, will explore the theme, by attempting to circumvent it.  The event, targeting a rising generation of young architects, has been organized by members of the Modern Asian Architecture Network (mAAN).

No Ball Games

Something’s going on this June. Oh yeah, that over-talked about World Cup thing.

Not all places are embracing the game because, believe it or not, it’s not everyone’s be all and end all. Life and travel does carry on around World Cup time for those who let it.

Want to escape it? Here’s how.

We’re offering you retreats and hideaways so you don’t have to put up with the bad behaviour, the tantrums, the tears, the injuries or the opinions.  Get on the ball and go and do something else, somewhere else.

The Greulich Hotel is setting the tone with their No-Goal dinners, while these other hotel gems have told us their places will be football free:

Aenea, Worthersee, Austria
Krafft Basel, Basel
Lesic Dimitri, Korcula, Croatia
Inis Meain, Arran Islands, Ireland
Hotel des Academies, Paris
Ca’pisani, Venice
Hotel J, Stockholm
Hotel Skeppsholmen, Stockholm
Town Hall Hotel & Apartments, London

The Greenwich, New York
New Majestic, Singapore
The Retreat, Tanzania

Go somewhere where football fever isn’t being forced fed to you.

Sizzling Hot In Singapore

Heading Far East this year? – hub into efficient Singapore and try out our newest place as the perfect start.

A great little taster of a place that is perfect to dip those cramped toes into Asia – get immersed, whilst awakening the soul – it’s hot baby.

The New Majestic Hotel is not, in fact new, but a well-established swish bolthole for those in the know, tucked away in Chinatown. It is perky, fun and opulent- infused by local artists, frequented by locals who add a distinctive vibe. It has always been my favourite place since opening.

Want more – click here, book direct and don’t just tell anyone – keep it to your friends.
