The rather splendid Royal Horseguards has graced the banks of London’s Thames River for over 100 years… it’s pretty hard to miss to be fair! It’s architecture has been heralded as incredibly important, earning a Grade 1 listed status and making it one of London’s finest buildings, and I can’t disagree.
It has to be one of the most luxurious hotels in London and they’ve just started work on their exclusive Tower Suite renovation project. The suite will comprise 735 square feet and will be the only suite of its kind in London with its very own tower offering 180 degree views of some of London’s famous sights including The London Eye, Big Ben and Canary Wharf.

Situated in the heart of Covent Garden lies Moti Mahal, a contemporary Indian restaurant which we recently had the pleasure of reviewing for Lusorian. The restaurant comprises two floors adorned with tasteful glass chandeliers, dark wood flooring, taupe walls and cream leather seating all of which make for a relaxed and warming atmosphere.
The cuisine has been created by renown Indian Head Chef Anirudh Arora, who we learnt had recently featured on BBC2 MasterChef – we knew we were in for a treat!

After a delightful long fruit cocktail in the bar area we were escorted to our table and presented a the perfectly sized menu (in terms of dishes on offer)… not too many and not too little making it far simpler choice for us to make a choice.
Selecting from the A La Carte menu we started with the Scallops seared with onion seed and coriander stem, tamarind glaze, tangy chaat potato mash which was beautifully presented, the only complaint being the scallops were perhaps a little small. We also had the Tandoor roasted lamb chops with kashmiri chillies, cumin mash, spiced puy lentil salsa which was by far the best choice and offered up some incredible flavours.

With around 1000 intricate islands making up the country of the Philippines, many boasting of white sandy beaches and picture perfect views this was a hard task in itself. Finally we decided on Panglao Island, Bohol and the newly built Eskaya Beach Resort and Spa, set on top of a cliff, which overlooked its own private beach.
