One is the stunning, spectacular and new five-star Grange City Hotel, near the Tower of London. Here, 68 additional bedrooms have been designed with the woman traveller’s…
A hot night on the town isn’t what it used to be. Because the new Absolut Icebar in London is taking cool down a few degrees to freezing cold. At the bar at 29-33 Heddon Street near Piccadilly Circus, the entire interior is made of ice — and the crystal clear water comes from Lapland’s…
