Sometimes it’s best to let sleeping cats lie. Yet for the last 40 years, Jaguar’s legion of devotees has been waiting, praying for a second generation E-Type. The XJS, classic though it is, didn’t qualify. The XK, on launch, was heralded as the car to carry the mark. It didn’t. Obviously, it would be impossible for Jaguar Land Rover to create a car with the revolutionary impact that the E brought to the world…
Adults only. If those two words ring like music to your ears, then pack your bags and get yourself to The House. Situated on Barbados’s chic west coast, this boutique hotel has 34 suites and a strong focus on catering to the needs of adults only. Now, just to be clear, ‘adults only’ doesn’t mean…
I didn’t always live in Lost Angels. I know that is hard to believe. I am a creature perfectly suited to its environment, like some animal on National Geographic that your plummy G-d denier, Dawkins, might talk about. Side note – gotta say, I love that guy. I mean, as a semitic person, my piety…
As the TGV pulled up to Reims, Champagne, it didn’t look good. The damp and dreary weather reflected my mood, as for me a 5am alarm usually signifies the end of a long bar shift and the promise of a post-work cold one, as opposed to a day trip to France. Reims, located eighty miles…
I was having trouble parking the other day. Before you start, it had nothing to do with my ability to reverse, as a woman. I was queuing to get into Daylesford Organic Farmhouses overflow car park when some guy in a BMW 5-series cut in front of me (perhaps he was embarrassed at having the…
In LUSSO’s 18th edition we head to the countryside and take the opportunity to investigate some of the accessories that you simply must take. There’s plenty of space in that Land Rover, so get packing! Styling by Thea Lewis.
The Sir Bani Yas Island Resort isn’t the most extravagant spot in Abu Dhabi – and it’s better for it. In a territory where the first paved road was laid in 1960, but which now commissions and completes new acts of architectural bravura quicker than other countries draw up plans for a bathroom extension, the…
Here at LUSSO, we’re going to take a moment to celebrate the good that others do. The more cynical of you might want to flick forward a couple of pages and find out where your next exclusive beach break is coming from. But you’d be missing out not just on the kindness that man can…
Hotel is a dream, not surprisingly, as it’s one of the Dorchester group, not that Roger has noticed though. He’s lain on the bed watching the 24hr news channel waiting for some update on a tropical storm, hasn’t moved all morning. I ask him what’s so important about a storm, which of course annoys him,…
Or maybe it doesn’t care. Its seemingly systematic and purposeful ramming continues, until the Toyota Hiace resembles the last cream cake at a Weight Watchers Christmas party spread. The YouTube clip I’m watching, amusingly called Elephant Attack – Part Deux, features this explanation – ‘Here in sunny Sri Lanka, we may love our cricket but…
