New opening: luxury apartment between Lake District and Yorkshire Dales

By Paul Johnson on Apr 01, 2010 in Accommodation, Europe, Regions, United Kingdom, Vacation Rentals, Western Europe

Kendal apartment balcony As regular readers will know, the last couple of months have been a particularly busy period for me as my wife and I have set up a new company, bought a luxury riverside apartment and kitted it out for holiday lets, all with a view to opening this coming Easter. The hard work has finally come to an end (or perhaps it has only really just begun!?) as our Kendal Cottages enterprise will welcome its first guests tomorrow. Please have a look at the site and let us know what you think of the offering – it has a great balcony view down the River Kent and towards Kendal Castle.

In ancient China, the Great Wall stood as a symbol

In ancient China, the Great Wall stood as a symbol of protection and Chinese royal power. Located an hour south of this ancient wall, the Peninsula Hotel in Bejing was China’s first luxury hotel when it opened as The Palace Hotel in 1989. Under new ownership, it underwent a $123 Million USD renovation to become a suite-only luxury hotel which means you will get nothing but the best for your stay. With suites starting around $250/night, the hotel features a casual buffet, an all-day lobby restaurant, a rooftop bar and lounge called Yun, and Huan Ting, a five-star Cantonese dining experience. And after a long day out at the Great Wall, come back for a relaxing swim in the indoor pool, take advantage of the state-of-the-art fitness center, spa, or business center. .

Surprisingly close in size to New York City, the massive Colombian city of Bogota has — culturally, artistically, and gastronomically — never felt more alive. Just as the country as a whole is shedding its past image, some exceptional Bogota dining venues are transforming the image of Colombian cuisine thanks to their superlative chefs – some of the most creative in Latin America. .

The town square of Hildesheim, Germany, is the poster child for, well, poster perfect (or picture-postcard perfect as the saying goes). Home to beautiful half-timbered buildings, a magical, magnificent Market Square, two UNESCO World Cultural Heritage-listed Romanesque churches, and fantastic you-have-to-see-them-to-believe-them Egyptian Antiquities in the Roemer-Pelizaeus Museum, Hildesheim is definitely worthy of its bucket list status for travellers the world over. Making this picturesque place all the more impressive though? The fact that on March 22, 1945, almost all of Hildesheim’s old town, including the town square and the building pictured here, was destroyed in an Allied air raid.

For those celebrating special occasions in 2020: big anniversaries, birthdays and honeymoons, we think that few other countries do luxury romance like the tiny tropical country of Costa Rica. With verdant nature, stylish high-end hotel options and sweeping vistas of jungle, ocean and mountains, Costa Rica is perfect for a memorable couple’s getaway. .

Toucans are some of the oddest looking birds on the planet. With their giant curved beaks and relatively small body size, you might think they will topple off the trees. Costa Rica is home to six species of toucans, including the keel-billed variety which are what most people might think of when they picture the unusual bird. With their brightly coloured bills and necks, they stand out against the rainforest landscape and are relatively easy to spot in the rainforests, even from a distance. For more on toucans and other wildlife in Costa Rica, see Matt Gannan from @tucantravel's post on A Luxury Travel Blog: Top 10 animals to spot in Costa Rica.
