Voor het mooiste boutique hotel in Athene moet je in de wijk Psiri zijn. Om de hoek van de levendige Varvakeios markthallen en omringd door streetart, restaurants en ambachtelijke winkels, staat het prachtige Monument Hotel Athens. Ik sliep hier de laatste nacht van mijn Athene stedentrip. En wat een perfecte afronding van een toch al zeer geslaagde reis! Ik deelde al wat hoteltips in mijn post over de leukste dingen om te doen in Athene, maar dit artikel is een uitgebreide review van mijn verblijf bij Monument.

Every year the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park commissions a different architect to design a temporary pavilion. This year's pavilion is created by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto. The result is quite impressive. It's like a cloud made out of white steel. No roofs, no...
Unfortunately for me, I have to cross half the city to get there, but I love shopping in Marylebone High Street. Here you'll find Daunt Books, the Conran Shop, The Natural Kitchen, La Fromagerie and other great shops, boutiques and restaurants. So when I read that...
When I was living in Paris, every time someone came to visit me, I basically took them to the same places that I knew and liked. Which is great for them (no need to go through tourist guides), but as a result I had to go see the Mona Lisa over and over again instead...
Sea salt and I, it's a growing love affair. What started as seasoning for my weekend egg, then scrubbing, hair spray.... has now evolved to sea salt in my chocolate. What else? I promised you more chocolate, and did I find the right spot to go to! Artisan du...
I'm a bit of a chocoholic. Nothing new for people who have known me for a while. I thought that by now I kind of gained control over my addiction, but London is just full of temptations. This Saturday I walked by this place called Ben's Cookies and I couldn't resist...
In case you were wondering.... I love visiting food markets. And so far Borough Market is definitely one of my favorites. Apparently the market has been here since the 13th century and has grown to over a 100 different food stalls today. It's THE place to go to if you...
One of the fun things about a 'new city' is that I can discover new hotspots for having coffee, tea.... and cake. And the best source for finding those places are of course the locals. One of them brought me here: Drink, Shop & Do. On the outside it doesn't really...
Of course, having your own apartment (which I just found!) in London is great. But I must admit, that I'm also a bit sad that I won't be staying in this hotel anymore. CitizenM has been my home away from home for the last week. And what a home it has been! Are you...
