Spring is upon us and London is the perfect place for an inspiring weekend. We will be staying at COMO the Halkin London, a well known name that reopened last autumn after a complete refurbishment. The boutique hotel has 41 contemporary suites with a lovely garden in the back and is within walking distance of everything you need to see. It is actually the perfect hotel for a weekend stay in the city, a hop, skip and a jump from Hyde Park in the leafy Belgravia area, giving you a break from the hustle and bustle.

Casa Cruz
Things are going very well for Casa Cruz. Jet-setting Juan Santa Cruz, a Chilean-born former investment banker with three glamorous restaurants in Buenos Aires, has won over London’s fashionable crowd. In the stylish ambience, guests can indulge in the finest Argentinian cuisine, expertly crafted cocktails and an extensive wine list. The burnished copper interior features an elegant oval cocktail bar and a menu that appeals to the fashionable ‘clean eating’ sensibilities – from raw and superfoods to grilled fish, chicken and grass-fed beef. Quality is everything. The extensive wine list includes the best of the Old World.
