A Spring Escape to Twente: Easter at Parkhotel De Wiemsel
There’s something special about returning to a place that feels familiar, almost like it’s part of you. For me, Twente has always had that quiet magic. The soft landscapes, the slower pace, the warmth of the people. It feels grounded, real, and deeply Dutch in the best way.
This Easter, I found myself back in the charming town of Ootmarsum, staying at the beautiful Parkhotel De Wiemsel. A place that perfectly captures that same feeling: calm, understated luxury, surrounded by nature.

Grand Park City Hall: Where Heritage Meets Modern Elegance
A stay @grandparkcityhall feels like discovering a quieter, more refined side of Singapore. Right in the Civic District, yet wonderfully tucked away from the rush.
After checking in the beautiful, openly designed room, we spent slow afternoons at the elegant pool, right next to the gym, before heading up to the Crystal Club Lounge, where evening bites turned golden hour into a ritual. Breakfast is served in the lounge area, and the beautiful rooftop opens a view to the old part of the city. Thoughtful amenities, warm service, and a subtle heritage flair run through every corner of the hotel, making it more than just a place to stay.

Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore: Riverside Serenity in the City
By the river yet close to the city’s pulse, @GrandCopthorneWaterfront offers a stay in Singapore that feels both energising and serene.
Our room was spacious and beautifully designed, with floor-to-ceiling views that made the skyline part of the experience. The welcome arrangements added a thoughtful touch from the start, and the pool area became our quiet escape between city explorations. In the Executive Lounge, evenings unfold slowly — crafted cocktails, soft light, and a panorama stretching along the river all the way toward the sea.
What makes the stay even more compelling is the hotel’s diverse dining scene — with several restaurants offering a range of culinary experiences under one roof, making it easy to transition from relaxed afternoons to vibrant dinners. We tried the @SanSara.SG (have the chicken masala - I never tasted chicken like this before!) as well as the Lobby Lounge with the most delicious afternoon tea as well as tasty Japanese bites at Itzakaya nights!
