ONE OF INDONESIA’s BEST HOTELS 🍃 At The Meru Sanu ONE OF INDONESIA’s BEST HOTELS 🍃At The Meru Sanur Bali, everything feels softened, like Bali at its most refined.Recently named one of Indonesia’s best by Tatler, it’s long been one of my favourites. From the statement art-lined entrance to the airy, oversized lobby, this is a hotel that understands space and stillness.The beachfront is vast and uncrowded, the pools stretch toward the horizon, and the suites feel more like private residences than hotel rooms. Sunrise is magnificent & over the ocean. See my full hotel review and podcast with the GM live on my site if you want the full story.

UNCLE MINGS IN STDNEY CBD 🍸🍹 Sydney, how did I no UNCLE MINGS IN STDNEY CBD 🍸🍹Sydney, how did I not know about this?Tucked away behind a discreet entrance, Uncle Ming’s feels like stepping straight into a late-night bar in Hong Kong — low red lighting, moody corners, and a crowd that knows exactly why they’re here.The cocktails are exceptional — playful, beautifully balanced, and just a little bit unexpected (think martini-style serves, bold Asian influences, and even bubble tea reimagined with alcohol). The wine list is equally considered, with just the right mix of classics and interesting finds.And the food? Every bite delivers. Dumplings, sesame toast, stuffed chicken wings, karaage — refined, addictive, and designed to keep you at the table longer than planned.Sultry, surprising, and easily one of the most memorable bar discoveries I’ve had in my own city. This one’s going on repeat. 🍸🍹#SydneyBars #HiddenSydney #LuxuryLifestyle #SydneyEats #CocktailBars

LONDON; £1.4 billion restaurant sale that changes LONDON; £1.4 billion restaurant sale that changes high end hospitality 💫The Ivy Collection, Annabel’s, Scott’s, Sexy Fish, George, Mark’s Club, Harry’s Bar and Noema have just been sold — for £1.4 billion. The buyer? IHC Group via Diafa, chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al Nahyan, who already own Zuma and Roka.Let’s talk numbers — because this is where it gets interesting.• Approx combined EBITDA: £89m• Purchase price: £1.4bn• Multiple: ~15–16xIn hospitality, most operators would celebrate 8x. This is double what most operators would hope for. This is luxury hospitality behaving like luxury fashion They’re not buying restaurants & bars  as we know them. They’re buying:• Cultural relevance• Global brand power• Institutional-grade luxury assets• Membership ecosystems• Pricing power at the top endThink Annabel’s — not just a venue, but a status symbol. The Ivy Collection — scalable, recognisable, exportable. This feels like the LVMH playbook applied to hospitality.  This portfolio could be about be run like a global luxury brand — not a restaurant group.Next move? The Ivy Brasserie into the US.This deal isn’t about London. It’s  about the future of luxury hospitality.#londonrestaurants #ivysale #annabelles sale
