London Never Sleeps: A Night with the London Cabaret Club - BeauMondeTraveller

London is just about as cosmopolitan a city as they come. Culture and the arts reign supreme here. The theatres alone would keep you busy for a lifetime, the museums are among the finest anywhere in the world, and the city never once lets you run out of reasons to go out.And then there are the cabaret dinner shows, where food and art share the night, where the table and the stage become one, and where an evening out becomes something else entirely. The London Cabaret Club Experience This is the...

Amelia Island Florida and a Stay at the Williams House Bed and Breakfast

As you wander half a block off the main drag and the historic district opens up further, fifty blocks in total, more than four hundred structures on the National Register of Historic Places, Victorian homes with gingerbread woodwork and wraparound porches and turrets and gabled dormers, some now operating as small inns, others still private residences sitting quietly behind picket fences. The Smithsonian Institution has described life in Fernandina Beach as one of the best examples of small-town...

A Food Lover's Guide to Piedmonte with La Giardina Guest House - BeauMondeTraveller

There is a reason the Slow Food movement was born in Piedmont. Actually, there are several reasons, and most of them involve what ends up on your plate. The region sits at the top of Italy geographically, and arguably at the top of Italy gastronomically. The wines are among the finest in the world. The truffles are the most prized. The pasta is made with an absurd number of egg yolks, the beef comes from cattle that have spent their lives on mountain grass, and the recipes have been handed down...

etch. by Steven Edwards, Restaurant Review: The Discipline of Less

Cooking, as we tend to understand it, is an act of accumulation. Sauce on top of protein on top of purée, the whole edifice crowned with a scattering of microherbs, a drizzle of something acidic, a dusting of something powdered. More. Always more. The contemporary fine dining plate has become, in many hands, like a film with too many subplots, impressive in scale, but difficult to follow. We have come to equate addition with ambition, and restraint with timidity. Which is precisely why walking i...

The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences: Redefining the Grand Hotel in Mayfair - BeauMondeTraveller

The name Athenaeum struck me as weird at first for a hotel. But with deeper understanding, along with my stay there, I understood why it makes perfect sense to give the hotel this somewhat odd moniker.  The hotel was deliberately named to imbue it with a sense of importance and gravitas,  a choice which has proven justified. The word Athenaeum traces back through Latin to ancient Rome, where it described a school devoted to the study of arts, literature, and learning, borrowed in turn from the G...

London's Fun Night Out | The Murder Express Dinner Theatre Experience

There are evenings in London when you want something that feels less composed and far more alive. Not another predictable dinner reservation, and not a conventional theatre performance where the audience remains firmly in the background. The Murder Express Part Deux: Jewel of the Empire sits somewhere in between, combining performance, dining, and interaction in a way that feels deliberately energetic from the outset. It sets the tone early, this is not about restraint, it is about participation...

London has its fair share of dinner theatres, ranging from glitzy cabarets and jazz lounges to "whodunnit" murder mysteries on the Orient Express. However, for those who love Latin culture mixed in with their mojitos and ceviche, you’ll want to put Inca London on your entertainment itinerary. A High End Latin American Dinner Show Experience Your browser does not support the video tag. Inca London is not your predictable burlesque show or a tired Moulin Rouge knockoff; it is fresh, exciting, and...

Courmayeur Mount Blanc : Ski, Cuisine, Cellars, and the Culture of Italy's Aosta Valley

Courmayeur, Italy at Its Peak in the Aosta Valley It is known as Italy at its Peak and home to the highest point in western Europe, Monte Bianco, or as the rest of the world calls it, Mont Blanc. Snow capped jagged peaks rise like a crown, framed by dark pine forests that cling to the slopes below. To the families of the valley, the mountain is not a view but a constant presence, woven into life and identity. Generations began as farmers, later guiding early explorers and skiers from Milan, Brit...

Colonel Saab Trafalgar Square Review, A Journey Through India in the Heart of London

There is nothing quite like eating a cuisine in the place it comes from. Pizza tastes different in Italy. Sushi carries a certain purity when enjoyed in Japan. Yet every so often a restaurant far from those origins manages to recreate the experience in a way that feels remarkably real. Just off Trafalgar Square, tucked along the short stretch of William IV Street that links the square with Covent Garden, sits a restaurant that has quickly become a destination for lovers of Indian cuisine. Colone...

Chichele Presidential: Walking into the Wild in Zambia

The concept of walking on an African safari surrounded by wild animals carries a particular brand of madness for the uninitiated. It is the sudden, jarring removal of mental safety when you are no longer perched two metres above the ground, protected by distance, a sturdy seat, and the frame of a vehicle. This level of proximity to the African bush transforms it from beautiful scenery into something far more immediate, and frankly a bit too close for comfort. Every rustle in the tall grass and e...

Angler: London’s Michelin Star Seafood Restaurant

London’s dining scene is dog eat dog, and that is not an exaggeration. Restaurants open, build the hype, fall out of favour, and then disappear, sometimes within the same year. It is a constant cycle of new ideas, new menus, new names, and the next best things. That is what makes longevity here such a big deal. To still be operating at a high level after more than a decade is one thing, but to hold a Michelin star for thirteen years without slipping is something else entirely. Add to that the fa...

Epicurus: Copenhagen’s Destination for Serious Jazz and Fine Dining

In the third century BC the Greek philosopher Epicurus proposed an idea that still resonates today. Happiness, he argued, does not arise from excess but from thoughtful pleasure, meaningful conversation, and the company of friends. It is a philosophy that life’s most rewarding experiences come from cultivated enjoyment rather than indulgence alone. More than two thousand years later, that concept finds a remarkably fitting modern interpretation inside Epicurus in Copenhagen, an international des...

Another Place, The Lake District: A Restorative Escape in England’s Countryside

I have to admit that I was a bit afraid of jumping into a freezing cold lake, especially at night, all but paralyzed by the thought of what might be lurking beneath the surface.  My mind races, half-jokingly imagining the Loch Ness Monster’s distant cousin lurking somewhere in the depths. But still, off we go into the dark, frigid waters, the chill biting at our skin. Thankfully, our wetsuits serve as armor against the cold, a reassuring shield as we step deeper into the unknown. Colin, our gui...

Montenegro’s Rising Star: The Chedi at Luštica Bay

Luxury travel has entered its age of oversaturation. Once-rare enclaves now exist in a near-constant state of exposure—filtered, tagged, and reposted until their allure begins to dull. What was once discreet has become performative. And so, the truly discerning traveler begins to look elsewhere—not for extravagance, but for atmosphere; not for hype, but for hush. Enter Montenegro. A destination that, until recently, seemed content to remain just beyond the frame. While the Côte d’Azur, Ibiza, a...

Skiing Zürs am Arlberg In The Austrian Alps Paired With a Cheeky Stay At The Hotel Edelweiss

No matter when you come during the season,  it seems that it snows there at least every other day. Each morning the mountains are covered with a fresh blanket of snow. A shimmering expanse of white covers everything, with drifts rising as high as 3 meters or 10 feet. This is Zürs, nestled in Austria’s Arlberg region—one of the world’s most sought-after destinations for skiing. Among its standout accommodations is the Hotel Edelweiss, a boutique gem offering a lively and welcoming atmosphere to u...

Castle Elvira: Salento, Italy’s Darling of Castle Hotels

As children, many of us have had the fantasy of one day living in a castle. But as we grow older, those dreams fade away replaced by more practical ambitions. But not for all of us. When growing up Harvey B-Brown always dreamed of living in a castle and be it manifestation, fate, or just luck, his life’s cards played out in such a way that is exactly what happened. He and his husband Steve Riseley would become the owners of one of the hottest new hotels in the world which just happens to be a ca...

England's Medieval Moat Hotel - New Hall Hotel & Spa

England offers a wide range of accommodations for travelers, from sleek, modern skyscraping hotels in bustling cities to secluded rural escapes surrounded by bucolic landscapes. Yet for the historically curious, few experiences compare to a stay in a medieval castle or stately manor. These grand structures, steeped in centuries of intrigue, have borne witness to generations of nobles and aristocrats, and today, they offer guests a unique chance to step into that world—though with the comforts of...

The Pig Near Bath, England’s Quintessential Country Idyll

The English countryside is the place where Londoners and other city slickers go to exhale. After all, London has been known as ‘the big smoke” from years past when the skyline was crowned with chimneys billowing smoke and turning their skies smoggy gray. Although those days are past, London is still a place with a manic pace with aspiring tycoons fretting over the next big deal and where people rushing through the Underground like a stream of ants are the modus operandi.   The antithesis of city...

Exploring Porto Venere in the Italian Riviera

Italy has so many gifts to offer the intrepid traveler that it’s hard to figure out which one to unwrap next. In the Italian Riviera, in a peninsula that juts out into the Ligurian Sea, is where you’ll find one of those gifts. Porto Venere is an idyllic coastal village complete with an old town and picture perfect views into the endless horizon. There is no access by train and with little parking, it is one of the few places along the sea shielded from mass tourism, especially in the evening whe
