Same Suburb, Better Shoes: Rediscovering Parramatta at the ParkRoyal

I should declare my biases up front. I’m Western Sydney born and bred. And I recently stayed a night at the ParkRoyal Parramatta with a friend (Ros) who is every bit as local as I am. Between us we’ve spent our teens loitering around Westfield Parramatta, our 20s dancing at the Albion night club until…

Buzzing Around My Own Backyard … A Sustainable Sydney Staycation

Sydney is my stomping ground. I know the best suburbs for authentic Indian spices. The cheapest service station for my weekly refuel. And, I usually treat the streets of Barangaroo as a destination to meet friends for dinner, not somewhere to sleep. But, no matter how much of a local you are, there's something…

Ala Wai Boat Harbour: The Other Hawaiian Harbour

I struggle with the same dilemma every single time I book a hotel. It's a throwback to a stint in my twenties spent surviving on smuggled hostel breakfasts stretched to cover lunch, and FlixBuses timed to cross entire European borders overnight so I wouldn't have to pay for a bed. So even now - older,…

Faena New York Is Not a Hotel. It’s an Experience You Wear Home

Some hotels impress you. Faena? Faena messes with your whole nervous system - in the best way. There are luxury hotels that wow you the second you walk in.

A Place to Wonder: Creative Escapes at Wondervale in the Southern Highlands

by Brooke Hill. When did you last have a chance to really wonder? Not wonder what’s for dinner. Or whether you replied to that email. I mean the kind of wondering that happens when you have enough space to let your mind wander somewhere unexpected. I’ve been thinking about wonder for years. As…

Unearthing Rajasthan’s Royal Secret: A Stay at the Rawla Narlai Luxury Heritage Hotel

Water buffalo loll in the middle of the road and humped cattle stand about as though they own it – which, in rural Rajasthan, they largely do – while monkeys watch from the roadside trees. Somewhere on the drive from Udaipur, my husband Jo and I feel the city's clamour fall away. A few hours…

The Waikiki Hotel That Sits on a Queen’s Land (Literally)

Hot (and bothered!) off the heels of a very delayed flight that had me landing at Hawaii's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport close to midnight - and gingerly dragging my Samsonite suitcase behind me - I headed to the concierge desk at the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort. Exhausted but armed, I was ready with…

The Winning Post: An Evening Inside Sydney’s Iconic Horse Themed Hotel

A themed hotel is a gamble. And, while low-grade versions may cliche into kitsch (and have you sleeping in a plywood pirate ship with questionable carpet) done well, there's a special kind of alchemy to staying in a space where where a single idea has been chased all the way to the chandeliers. Step into…
