The STRAF is an super-stylish upmarket hotel in Milan. It’s ideally located in the centre of the city, making it convenient for sight-seeing and – all importantly in Milan – shopping. The hotel features the designs of Vincenzo De Costiis, who puts a seriously cool, minimalist feel into all of the rooms. Each room contains it’s…
L’Enclume is the original Simon Rogan restaurant – see my review of the London version, Roganic. The food must be excellent if the London Roganic is anything to go by. L’Enclume say there is a small step to the restaurant but there is no disabled toilet as such – there’s a Ladies with a grab rail?!!…
The Star Inn, in N. Yorks has had some great reviews and awards (although they seem to have lost their Michelin Star). The Telegraph said ‘Could anything be more perfect than a meal at this Yorkshire pub?’ It certainly looks like a good old fashioned picturesque pub with it’s thatched roof. The food also looks…
The Town Hall Hotel is a Grade II-listed Edwardian building, which was Bethnal Green’s old town hall. Dating back to 1910, it has won numerous architectural awards for it’s multi million pound restoration. It has retained many of the expensive Edwardian & Art Deco features – Local Councils obviously had more money in those days?? I can’t…

In the 1920’s the Colombe d’Or converted from a cafe to a hotel and quickly attracted a strong following in the artistic community. Artists such as Matisse, Miro and Picasso offered the hotel paintings in return for a nights…
The G Hotel is a five-star hotel in Galway with stunning interiors designed by famous hat maker Philip Treacy. The exact location of the hotel is slightly confusing. The staff are, apparently, currently ‘working out’ exactly where, on a map of Ireland, they can be found. However, the extravagance and luxuriousness of the design may…
Hotel Du Vin has a totally accessible & stylish disabled room with a walk in shower and emergency cords within the room. It looks nothing like a 70’s hospital!! There is access to the bar, there are no steps to get into the bistro and there are disabled toilets in the bar and restaurant. Although the…
The Hope Street Hotel is another boutique hotel in Liverpool but in this instance they have a number of disabled rooms. There is an ‘Access Statement’ on their website, albeit hidden away and given less prominence than their statement that they accept dogs!! It looks good and I shouldn’t complain about the statement because at least…
62 Castle Street came recommended as an attractive, luxury, boutique hotel in the centre of Liverpool. It has ‘chilled out chic with cool classics’ as a Grade I Listed Victorian building that used to be a bank. They have no disabled rooms but the restaurant and bar look interesting. However, there are many stairs so not really…
