You may have seen it in the latest Vogue Living. You may have followed its progress on Anna Spiro’s Instagram account. You may have only seen it in your dreams. Halcyon House, the new boutique hotel at Cabarita Beach in Northern New South Wales. Pattern on pattern with bold colour and crisp white, gallery walls and vintage pieces. A once down at heels beach motel has risen phoenix like to become a glam but welcoming, casually elegant holiday destination. Architecture by Virginia Kerridge and interiors by Anna Spiro of Black & Spiro.

I have never been to Germany, but if I ever to get the opportunity to go, I know where I want to stay! The Flushing Meadows. Our hotel is situated on the top two floors of an industrial building in Munich’s most vibrant neighborhood, the Glockenbach – just a couple of meters from the Isar’s wild river banks. The third floor features 11 individual loft studios with exceptionally high ceilings, each created in collaboration with selected personalities and friends from various creative realms, including music, cinema, design, sports and art. The top floor is home to five variously sized penthouse studios, some with private terrace – as well as the Flushing Meadows Bar.

Fantasy running away time. No 131 in Cheltenham is a restaurant and bar with 11 bedrooms. Grade II listed Georgian building beautifully restored. Love the common spaces. Very boho velvet eclectic. I think I would indulge in too much wine and food just so I could loll in one of the fabulous bathrooms before I started my immoderate grazing again.

It’s Friday. Time to escape the dreary grind of 9 to 5. My choice for a virtual weekend away (because I’m working all the way through) is this Scotland Island home available through Contemporary Hotels. The view, the modern meets retro vibe, the peace and quiet, the fact that it can only be approached by water. A touch of paradise.
