New Year’s Eve in Iceland

read more

New Year’s Eve need not be over rated, anti-climatic and overpriced. Having spent the last six years in different cities, from London, to Orlando, Las Vegas, New York and Abu Dhabi, we love finding a new destination to enjoy the celebrations of New Years Eve. To ring in 2016 we picked Iceland. Iceland has to be one of […]

Hotel Chocolat Boucan, St Lucia

read more

I distinctly remember the day I first heard about Hotel Chocolat and feeing excited there was a chocolate hotel. Until reality struck that it was in fact the name of a premium chocolate brand. Although delighted by their chocolate there was always a slight disappointment that the Hotel Chocolat was merely an illusion of my imagination […]

Fire & Ice -The Best of Iceland

read more

A trip to Iceland was booked slightly naively, solely to hunt for the Northern Lights. Then realisation dawned that if we didn’t see them it would be a pretty disastrous trip. Fortunately Iceland has so much more to offer, than just the Northern Lights, so much so, we almost forgot they were the sole purpose […]

A Night at the Opera at TWID

A Night at the Opera at TWID

Celebrations Food & Drink

Constantly in search of the next novel experience in London, we just found the first of its kind at TWID, in Battersea.”That’s What I do,” is a fun, dining experience that sees you immersed in live opera. Behind the facade of a converted pub, a peek through the curtains, and you are transported into what appears to be an almost, traditional theatre. There’s something rather exciting about going up the small set of stairs to the private opera boxes. There are interesting stone statues scattered around the restaurant, and clearly a lot of thought has gone into the décor, at first glance. By light of day, the décor is a bit rough around the edges, but as night falls it’s easier to look past the chipboard ceiling and appreciate the romantic booths, and the atmosphere that’s been created. The menu has a nice selection of small plates to choose from, that are ideal to share. They are actually far from small, and rather substantial dishes, and probably no more than five would suffice for two. There’s a call bell on the table, which is genius- if only every restaurant had this. It allows the experience to be private and intimate whilst maintaining attentive service. Sipping on a mojito is always the best way to start the evening. Following the a […]

Hotel Gotthard, Lech

Hotel Gotthard, Lech

Events Food & Drink

As one of the world’s leading winter sport destinations Austria’s VorArlberg region, is not to be missed. However if you don’t fancy falling off skis and more the type to sip hot chocolate and take rides on a ski lift, then summer is the best time to visit Lech. The four star superior Hotel Gotthard is the perfect base to explore the VorArlberg region for hiking, swimming in mountain lakes and a relaxing retreat. Neighbouring Zurich is a mere two hour, scenic drive from Zurich, up to Hotel Gotthard that sits at 1450m. Hotel Gotthard was established in 1931 by entrepreneurial grandmother, Filomena Walch. Now Clemens and Nicole Walch are the third generation to continue the family legacy, and proudly run Hotel Gotthard with the motto “We are home, we are family, we are friends.” It’s quite refreshing to stay at a hotel where the motto really runs true, as Nicole and Clemens are both so warm and welcoming, one leaves feeling you have visited family. The hotel has fifty-two well appointed guest rooms, two restaurants , a cafe and the delightful aroma of fresh bread from the in house bakery, speaks for itself. There are charming, cosy alcoves to relax in throughout the hotel, ideal to snuggle into for a crispy cinnamon dusted apfelstrudel studded with walnuts. Or better still […]

Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina

Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina

Honeymoons

Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina is quirky and conveniently located in the heart of Reyjkavik. The views from the room over the marina were breath taking. The hotel has a rather interesting lobby with lots of little characters around the place. With a man sitting by the fire place and another by a urinal, and lost dog roaming. The rooms are quite basic but retain some of the character from it being a converted old paint factory. With old paintings and minimalist furniture the room is just comfortable for popping in and out from excursions. One soon becomes accustomed to the frosted glass bathroom in the corner of the room. The delicatessen is quaint, yet modern and airy and great for a quick bite. The hotel has stylish hidden dens, a cinema room, bar and restaurant. With lots of little areas to hide away from the cold. The location is fantastic as its a mere five minute walk to the centre of town. We were surprised to be able to spot the Northern Lights from our room over the marina and this definitely makes this a hotel of choice to stay for exploring Iceland. The staff is helpful and courteous and offered us daily updates on the Northern […]

The Mermaid, London

The Mermaid, London

Celebrations Events Food & Drink Weddings

Concierge Angel were rather excited to be invited to the London venue, “The Mermaid,” to assist caterer’s, Create, finalise their seasonal Spring/Summer menu. With the sun beaming over the river, the fabulous feast served in the upper River Rooms was impressive. Canapés can only be described as little works of art. The lemon ceviche scallop sprinkled with desiccated coconut, and a hint of fresh, zesty mango was delightful, with a lovely crunch from the sesame tuille. The head chef’s pastry background, was clearly evident from the delicate arrangement of creamy goat’s cheese on a crisp toast, topped with a torched fig. The mouth-watering, bite-size duck topped with mango salsa was a perfect balance of flavours. The warm sea bass with rock salt, on a bed of lemon infused aioli was rather delicious. The platter of appetisers was a pleasure to tuck into. The unique, gourmet take on the fish and chips, of poached Pollok served with crushed new potatoes and fish crackling was appetising. The parmesan crème brulee served with horseradish, pickled beetroot and apple was a rich palate cleanser. The succulent free range chicken with wild mushrooms drizzled in a light madeira jus was a divine, substantial appetiser. The three main courses were indulgent. Charred bavette, with a tarragon and lemon jus served with fondant potato and Jacobs ladder croquette was hearty and wholesome. The light gnocchi tossed in a […]
