Evening at Barbados

Today I have had rain outside my windows so I have longed for a view like the one in the photo above. Rain is however not only bad since I have been working with my new collection and it is always easier to be motivated to stay inside and work when there is bad weather outside. I promise to show pictures from the new bed linen collection as soon as the first samples are ready.
In the meantime why do you not like me travel in your mind to this warm and relaxing evening at Barbados- I will definitely book a trip to this nice hotel soon.

How to be a Good Guest

I feel welcome in a hotel that makes me as a guest feel important. When you choose the best hotels in the world it is important that everything is perfect. Already when I arrive in the reception area I expect that the person that helps me with the check in is correct and welcoming. Most of the better hotels have personell that make me as a guest feel special, offer help with the bags and let me know that they like having me as a guest.

Equally important is that I as a guest behave correctly and for example do not forget to tip the ones that helps me with the bags, cleans my room and so on. If you as a guest want to be treated with respect you should treat the persons around you with the same kind of respect. I can feel ashamed when I see how other guest sometimes treat the personell at the hotels with disrespect and behave badly. For me it is important to have a good relationship with the persons working at the hotel so I they like to have me as a guest even in the future. Most persons on the hotels i visit do a very good job and they deserve respect for that.

Have an nice evening and enjoy this beautiful picture above, click on it and feel welcome

I try to always stay at nice hotels when I am away from home. I feel more relaxed and happy when I am in a beautiful surrounding. For me it is also important that the bed and the bed linen feels very comfortable. A good hotel must invest in the best bed linen otherwise it does not matter how nice the room looks or how nice the people working there are. It is also important that the hotel has a good spa where one can relax with some nice treatments- I will write more about this later.

Have a nice evening

I could not resist to show two more pictures from the afternoon tea at the Berkeleys. The second of them with a Giambattista Valli theme is stunning.

What do you think?
