THE FIRST LUXURY HOTEL IN CUBA: GRAN HOTEL MANZANA KEMPINSKI LA HABANA

February 26, 2023

Today, I want to talk about the second hotel we have visited, and here is why you should also stay at Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski

Havana is a city like no other place on earth. A place where time stands still, where people live in poverty, but they still remain human and kind. However, this city still wraps you up in its magic as soon as you arrive in town.

Located in the heart of the majestic Old Havana, and surrounded by the main UNESCO World Heritage buildings, the Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski is Cuba’s first luxury hotel. On entering, you are greeted by a modern interior and Ladies in Red.

URBAN CHIC: GRAN BRISTOL LA HABANA, CUBA

February 25, 2023

Before stepping into the ultimate Cuba travel guide, I will start the journey with our first stay in Havana at one of the newest hotels in town.

The legendary capital of Cuba, is one of the most vibrant colonial cities I have visited. Strolling around narrow streets, surrounded with crumbling colonial façades, salsa live music everywhere, American vintage cars— it’s just like stepping back in time.

Behind the authentic and destroyed colonial façades, and only a few steps away from the National Capitol Building (El Capitolio) you’ll find the recently opened Gran Hotel Bristol by Kempinski.

HOME EDIT: TIPS FOR A FESTIVE AND MODERN TABLESCAPE

December 1, 2022

This year I’m looking forward to the festive season more than ever. Blessed and grateful for all the bad and good things that have happened this year— because now when I look back, everything happened for a reason.

Moving to my new home in June was one of the most stressful projects I’ve had in years, but the reward was as good as I could have imagined.

If you are hosting a Christmas party, holiday brunch or dinner party— you will need a delicious menu, some holiday goodies, unforgettable cocktails and some beautiful decorations.

I love decorating my new home seasonally, especially decorating the dining table. Today, I am excited to share with you my festive dining table decoration with SIEGER by FÜRSTENBERG porcelain and SIEGER by Ichendorf glasses.

ERNST FUCHS MUSEUM: A HIDDEN GEM IN VIENNA YOU MUST SEE

April 24, 2022

Vienna is a powerhouse of art filled with museums and exhibitions. Since numerous museums are located just in the heart of Vienna’s first district, we often forget about the extraordinary places that are located in other districts, such as in the Vienna’s 14th district.

Between 1886 and 1888, the famous Jugenstil (art nouveau) architect Otto Wagner built the opulent summer villa surrounded by nature for himself and his family. This outstanding villa is located in Hütteldorf on the border of the historical “Wiener Wald”, which today is open to the public as a museum.

A visit to Casa del Alabado Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, is a must for history and anthropology fans. Located in a wonderfully preserve building, this museum features sculpture, artefacts, jewellery pieces and more. I learned about Ecuador’s indigenous cultures and saw hundreds of archaeological objects belonging to the ancient societies that occupied the territory known today as Ecuador.
