Whisky’s Biggest Attraction Unveiled In Edinburgh

The Scotch Whisky Experience, Edinburgh’s five star visitor attraction at the top of the Royal Mile, has unveiled a stunning new Scotch Whisky tour following an extensive £3m facelift.

The tour includes an updated hi-tech version of the much-loved barrel ride and culminates in entry to a stunning purpose built vault of glass containing the World’s Largest Collection of Scotch Whiskies.

The major refurbishment brings the visitor attraction, which is currently celebrating its 21st birthday, right up to the minute; blowing away the traditional myths and stereotypes which surround Scotland’s national drink.

The tour, run by an experienced and enthusiastic team, encompasses: the new barrel ride which takes the visitor through the whisky making process; personalised whisky tastings using scratch and sniff aroma cards; sensory rooms; and a superb new demonstration area with panoramic views over the city. Light, sound, smell and movement all have a part to play in the captivating story, which is introduced by the late Distillery Manager, Douglas McIntyre, retaining the popular ghostly element.

The exhibits are child friendly and can include tailored tours for schools and young groups, complete with their own tour guide, Peat the cat.

The tour, which is presented in 15 languages including Gaelic, concludes in the Diageo Claive Vidiz Scotch Whisky Collection, now housed in a stunning and atmospheric purpose-built vault.

A stunning treasure trove of 3,384 malts and blends, amassed over 35 years by a Brazilian businessman, the Collection offers the chance to experience Scotland’s national drink like never before.

With time to study rows of rare bottles, expert commentary is on-hand to provide insight into the history and key features of the unique acquisition.

For those who wish to spend more time perusing the Claive Vidiz Scotch Whisky Collection they can either book a special tour at the end of the day, where additional time and commentary is available within the vault, or they can book the Collection on an exclusive-use basis for private dining or whisky tastings.

General Manager, Susan Morrison commented:

“This £3m investment has created a 21st century experience for visitors that will inspire and enthuse them about Scotch whisky and its importance to Scotland.

“With everything from the sights, sounds and smells in the fantastic new barrel ride, to the stunning new sensory rooms and demonstration area, there is a modern, fresh feel to whole visitor experience.”

Reduce Your Bill by 15 to 20%…

Today it’s easy to find a hotel in Paris using famous booking websites which abound on the Internet. But for those who wish to quickly and easily find an cheap hotel in Paris, things aren’t so simple.

PARIS, FRANCE – Today it’s easy to find a hotel in Paris using famous booking websites which abound on the Internet. But for those who wish to quickly and easily find an cheap hotel in Paris, things aren’t so simple.
Booking websites save valuable time for Internet users, but on the other hand the hotel has to pay a commission on each booking, therefore, the hotels raise their prices on these sites. This means that you pay the commission… (the additional cost can reach 15% or even 20% per room per night). So how do you reconcile time savings and fair rates?

Direct bookings are cheaper!

There is the solution of methodically going through any Booking website, to prepare a list of Paris hotels that fits your criteria, then search on Google for their official websites. You will never find a better rate than on the Hotel’s official website, as no commission is added.

This is an effective, but laborious, solution, given the number of competing hotels and the amount of time you’ll devote to finding each of the official websites (they are not always easy to find on Google).

However, for the busy Internet user seeking a good price there are hotel directories where you can find the same price as the official hotel’s website.

They work on a different economic model, so you won’t have to pay any commission on their rates (and sometimes they also provide a direct link to the official website of the hotel – you won’t waste your time searching on Google).

With these directories, you will get the same rate as the hotel’s website, but without loosing hours to find it.

Here is a directory with Hotels in Paris, based on the above: Paris Hotels

Le Meurice and Plaza Athénée, both part of the Dorchester Collection, have undergone high-end extensions and renovations.

Chic details and modernized elegance have created a glamour that is undeniable to the Parisian tourist. World-class designers have skillfully updated these iconic hotels.

At Le Meurice, acclaimed French designer Charles Jouffre has redesigned the rooms and suites. Jouffre highlighted the hotel’s grace and style with an updated aesthetic. He has succeeded in evoking the spirit of Le Meurice’s “French genius art of living.”

The inspiration of his work lies in the 18th century, with re-imagined classic furniture, a palate of light colors subtly lifted with bright accent tones, traditional materials, and a contemporary couture approach.

The new Eiffel Suite at The Plaza Athénée is just the spot to experience the ever-beating pulse of the City of Love. Decorated by Marie-José Pommereau, co-founder of Architectural Digest in France, the Eiffel Suite showcases top-of-the-line textiles and striking accent colors. However, the view of the Eiffel tower might be the most spectacular, the curtains have been replaced with and oversized frame.

The room itself is “picturesque.”

new summer menu & signature product line

(Chatham, Mass.) – With the unofficial start to summer here, Chatham Bars Inn launches a new menu of spa treatments, which celebrate the essence of summer, the sea and the Cape Cod landscape.

The new body, face and nail treatments incorporate seashells, beach stones, native Cape Cod cranberries, algae, seaweeds and other sea minerals, all fitting tributes to the resort’s oceanfront perch.

The Spa also unveiled its own signature product line, which will be featured in many of the treatments and available for retail sale.

“The new menu really evokes themes of the sea and our natural Cape Cod landscape,” said Spa Director Sierra Shore. “The menu is both reflective of the local environment and cutting edge in terms of quality.

” The sea has so many natural elements which are healing and nurturing for the body. We think our guests and spa patrons will be thrilled with the new offerings.”

Among the treatments are a Healing Sea Cocoon, which begins with an organic algae oil brushed onto the skin.

The guest is then cocooned in a soothing white algae body mask harvested by hand, and fresh strips of white algae are applied to the skin.

The ninety-minute treatment leaves skin supple and moist, and helps reduce water retention.

The Sacred Time at Sea treatment utilizes the purifying and re-mineralizing properties of the ocean to leave guests feeling radiant and stress-free.

The process begins with a gentle full-body exfoliation using CBI’s signature Ocean Rose Foaming Body Polish, followed by a relaxing soak in organic seaweeds and salts.

Guests then return for a massage and a botanical wrap, while their hair and scalp are treated.

The aptly named Tides Massage uses warm seashells and smoothed beach shells to massage the body with strokes reflecting the movement of the tides. New for the gentlemen, the Sea Captains Environmental Repair Facial is an anti-aging facial which helps protect and restore the skin from damage caused by sun exposure and time.

The treatment includes a deep cleansing, exfoliant, a custom mask, and a relaxing head, neck and shoulder massage.

The brand new menu was launched in conjunction with the Spa’s new signature product line, which are characterized by a unique blend of organic and wild-crafted essential oils. This blend has an elegant and light bouquet, incorporating aromatic essences from trees, herbs and flowers to boost immune function, relieve stress and promote relaxation.

The line includes the Ocean Rose Body Polish, a Shea Body Butter, Hydrating Body Lotion, SPF 30 moisturizer, Bath Elixir and Himalayan Bath Salt.

“Our signature products are made with the finest natural ingredients, botanical extracts and pure essential oils to safeguard the health and wellbeing of therapists and guests,” said Shore. “We incorporate local ingredients where possible, and use no artificial colors, fragrances or fillers.”

From surf to turf, these new eateries are adding sizzle to Canada’s blossoming culinary scene. Be forewarned: reading any further will whet your appetite for fabulous food.

1. Atelier Restaurant, Ottawa, ON. Chef Marc Lepin puts the fun back into fine dining with a non-traditional approach to cooking. His tools of choice include liquid nitrogen and induction burners for creating crabapple nitro spaetzle and a whipped caviar creamsicle.

In Lepin’s hands, the methodology isn’t gimmickry; it’s delicious. The service is swift, but not rushed, and the kitchen welcomes curious diners to witness its culinary experiments.

2. Play Food & Wine, Ottawa, ON. If you’ve ever been paralyzed by indecision about what to order, this restaurant solves the dilemma. On offer: a variety of small plates that showcase a bevy of flavours. Love the elk kielbasa or the Digby scallops? Order more.

This is the perfect spot to eat with friends. Pile up the table with plates, nibble from this one and that ‘til your belly is happy—which it’ll be after the final bite of a banana split with gelato and pineapple-rum sauce.

3. Mildred’s Temple Kitchen, Toronto, ON. You could almost hear the collective sigh of relief when chef Donna Dooher and Kevin Gallagher opened this latest restaurant.

The TO dining scene had been in mourning ever since she shut the doors of Mildred Pierce. There’s much to celebrate at her latest venture in Liberty Village. The faves are back, including those impossibly fluffy blueberry pancakes, handmade ricotta gnudi with bacon, and savoury burgers topped with Irish cheddar. Welcome back!

4. Hank’s Café, Toronto, ON. Here’s positive proof that dining doesn’t need to be fancy to be fabulous. The traditional café is boosted to new levels of yummy, thanks to Jamie Kennedy.

You can grab a coffee and a chocolate croissant to go, or sit and relax over a lunch of beer-braised beef stew with root vegetables or a satisfying roast beef sandwich with homemade mayo. By evening, it’s hangout central with bar snacks and old-school cocktails. Tel. 416-362-1957

5. Campagnolo, Vancouver, BC. Italian is the ultimate comfort food, so it’s not surprising that diners are flocking to Campagnolo for its casual, affordable fare, from simple thin-crust pizzas and chef de cuisine Alvin Pillay’s housemade salumi to fresh pastas like tagliarini with pork ragu.

You’re gonna love the 25-seat wine bar, perfect for lingering before and after feasting.

6. DNA Restaurant, Montréal, QC. At home and abroad, there’s been a flood of kudos for chef Derek Dammann, and with good reason.

He demonstrates a knack for turning not-so-everyday ingredients (squid and pork belly) into things of beauty.

Situated in Old Montréal, this eatery presents world-class cuisine in a homey environment that says to diners, “Sip, savour, stay a while.”

7. Lot 30, Charlottetown, PEI. Celebrated chef Gordon Bailey gets fresh at his latest eatery. The kitchen doesn’t even have a freezer. That means plenty of surprises, pleasant ones, on a menu that constantly changes according to what’s available.

You could be slurping chilled strawberry and peach soup or oysters plucked out of Colville Bay that day. The menu isn’t long, but every item listed is a winner.

8. Stage, Victoria, BC. Take a trip around the world without leaving this laidback bistro, located in the Fernwood neighbourhood. Chef George Szasz pleases locavores with ingredients sourced on the island (Vancouver Island), but it’s the global accents that give these tapas international appeal.

Mussels benefit from a zesty kick of coconut milk, lime and chipotle, while pork belly gets a hearty boost from stewed white beans.

Can a tummy smile? Uh huh. Tel. 250-388-4222

9. The Only on King, London, ON. Southwestern Ontario is coming on strong in culinary circles, thank to a bounty of locally sourced produce, meat and dairy products. Chefs Jason Schubert and Paul Harding tap into those flavours with flair.

Lake pickerel, along with sautéed wild leeks, brown butter and capers, is melt-in-your mouth delicious, and the asparagus tart flambé with puff pastry, old cheddar and new potatoes is a flaky, scrumptious delight.

10. Chef’s Table, Calgary, AB. The open kitchen seduces your taste buds even before the first plate has landed at the table.

The seven-course tasting menu is a symphony that builds beautifully until the final note, from Queen Charlotte Islands scallops with blood-orange foam to sugar-sprinkled doughnuts with vanilla custard.

Chef Theo Yeaman honed his skills at top tables in Europe (interning at The Fat Duck, for example) and Canada. Now he’s Calgary’s newest culinary star, twinkling brightly with great creative and a penchant for bold flavours.

Banyan Tree To Operate The First Luxury Desert Spa Resort With Private Nature Reserve And Beach In The Middle East

Located in the tranquil Wadi Khadeja, the protected enclave of the sturdy, evergreen ghaf tree, Banyan Tree Al Wadi is a 45-minute drive from Dubai International Airport and located 20 kilometres from the vibrant Ras Al Khaimah city centre.

The resort offers city dwellers a unique retreat with its own nature reserve where indigenous desert wildlife roam free, exciting outdoor adventures, and close proximity to a private beach and an 18-hole championship golf course.

Desert Elegance

Banyan Tree Al Wadi comprises 70 Pool Villas and 31 Tented Pool Villas that measure approximately 158 and 253 square metres respectively.

This oasis of indulgence offers a contemporary adaptation of traditional Arabic architecture amidst miles of rolling sand dunes, creating a comfortably seamless experience of staying in the desert.

A tribute to the heritage of the region – from the tented design that is inspired by local tribes and nomadic lifestyle, to traditional mud brick buildings – each villa also features elaborate Arabic touches of lattice woodwork, stylised motifs, intricate carvings in arabesque design and high ceilings.

All 101 villas offer a tranquil view of the desert oasis for quiet contemplation, while the external area of each villa features a private pool enveloped by verdant gardens. The Tented Pool Villa also features a dedicated spa treatment room, and an outdoor shower amidst lush surrounds.

Oasis of Indulgence

The award-winning Banyan Tree Spa features 10 treatment pavilions, complemented by a hydrothermal circuit with a hammam and vitality pool.

Guests can enjoy signature Asian-inspired massages delivered by therapists trained at the Banyan Tree Spa Academy in Phuket, Thailand.

The elegant banquet hall can seat up to 120 people, offering an exclusive event space for weddings or corporate groups in the desert terrain of Ras Al Khaimah. For smaller groups of up to 20 people, the two seminar rooms are suited for brainstorm sessions and corporate meetings.

Banyan Tree Al Wadi also features five food and beverage venues, giving guests a myriad of dining options. These include contemporary Thai cuisine and Southeast Asian specialties at the signature Saffron restaurant, international selections at the all-day dining restaurant, and refreshing cocktails by the beach club.

Nature’s Offerings

Ras Al Khaimah is renowned for its pristine natural attractions. Here, eco-explorers can seek adventure in activities such as falconry, camel riding, wadi (desert) safaris, or simply meander along rivers on a dhow (traditional Arabic sailing vessel with lateen sails) cruise.

Banyan Tree Al Wadi is the first desert spa resort in Ras Al Khaimah to offer a private nature reserve within its grounds. The resort spans over 100 hectares, of which 60 hectares are set aside for the dedicated nature reserve – home to local desert wildlife such as Arabian gazelles and oryxes, offering guests a unique opportunity to interact with and observe these gentle creatures up close.

Located within a 20-minute car ride from the resort, the Beach Club offers a selection of recreational activities like water-skiing and sailing for enjoyment in the cool shimmering waters of the Arabian Gulf. Guests who prefer to lounge by the private beach may do so in comfort at the Beach Club’s breezy bar or by the pool area.

Israel is not a large country. You can drive from its northern border to its southern tip in less than 10 hours. From east to west it will take you less than two. But this small territory contains an unimaginable wealth of natural landscapes, historical treasures and a rich cultural heritage – many of which have yet to be explored.

For those wanting to venture off the beaten track, the Israel Government Tourist Office is launching Israel, Hidden Gems – a collection of fascinating journeys steeped in history and culture that will allow people to discover some of the country’s most inspirational and unexplored experiences.

The thematic concepts are guaranteed to show Israel from a different perspective and allow holidaymakers to become truly involved in the country’s past, present and future.

From luxury hideaways, culinary trails and desert spas to archaeological wonders and ancient holy sites, Israel offers something for every traveller.

In addition, Israel’s subtropical climate makes year-round outdoor traveling comfortable through the country’s varied geography to explore its people, places, landscapes and views. All this, coupled with a vibrant Mediterranean cultural heritage of nightlife, festivals and events make for a holiday experience unrivaled by any other destination.

Israel’s Hidden Gems will be detailed in a dedicated brochure that will be available to order on the IGTO www.thinkisrael.com  website.

The brochure outlines how the Gems can be experienced on their own as a one centre holiday or combined with several others to create a unique tailor-made break to Israel when planning trips with travel agents or tour operators.

The iconic Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa has introduced a “Majestic Golf Experience” that offers an exhilarating golfing extravaganza fit for a king over The Duke’s Course and two outstanding links courses set in the Kingdom of Fife – and all at a pauper’s price of just £600.

“Majestic Golf” combines 18 holes over the Hotel’s very own championship course and heathland masterpiece, The Duke’s, the recently-opened Castle Course and the imperial Kingsbarns alongside luxury accommodation in the heart of the home of golf.

The Duke’s, designed by five-time Open champion Peter Thomson, has benefited from the sweeping renovations carried out by Pete Dye protégé, Tim Liddy, in 2006 and is now on many golfers must-play list following the inclusion of the course in Golf World’s Top 100 Golf Courses in the UK at the close of 2008.

Gone are the pot bunkers and in are the rough-edged, spacious bunkers reminiscent of the romantic bygone years of heathland golf whilst the views over St Andrews and the Highlands beyond remain as spectacular as ever.

The Castle Course, the seventh course in the St Andrew Links and the first to be built in St Andrews for close to 100 years, was designed by David McLay Kidd who created Bandon Dunes on the West Coast of America. Since its opening in June 2008, the Course has met with great acclaim with its wide fairways and expansive greens compensating for the exposed nature of the cliff-top location.

Meanwhile Kingsbarns, just south of St Andrews on the East coast, offers breathtaking panoramas as the course hugs the rugged coastline of the North Sea. Designed by American architect Kyle Philips and opened in mid-2000, Kingsbarns’ association with the game of golf dates back to 1793 when a golf course was first built there on the sandy soils of East Fife.

Whilst enjoying this regal golfing trail, the Old Course Hotel, located on the 17th fairway of the world’s most famous golf links, offers numerous facilities to complete this five-star golfing package: gastronomic dining in the Road Hole Fine Dining Restaurant overlooking the infamous Road Hole of the Old Course, relaxing treatments in the world-class Kohler Waters Spa and the chance to visit the historic town of St Andrews, famous for its university, as well as the cafés, antique shops and galleries that line the cobbled and ancient streets.

The Majestic Golf Experience includes:

• Two nights’ luxury accommodation in an Eden parkland facing bedroom including a hearty, Scottish breakfast

• A round of golf on The Duke’s

• A round of golf on Kingsbarns

• A round of golf of the Castle Course

The Majestic Golf Experience, which starts at £600 per person and is on offer until December 2009, comes with the option of upgrading to a Suite or Old Course-facing room at the point of booking.

For bookings and further details please call the reservations team on +44 (0) 1334 474371 or email reservations@oldcoursehotel.co.uk quoting MAJGLF or visit www.oldcoursehotel.co.uk

Embracing mud and water comes naturally at Masseria San Domenico’s Thalasso-therapy Spa, a medical Spa where guests are relaxed, revived and rejuvenated in more ways than one. Yet this iconic Spa in Italy remains relatively unknown to the British traveller. Until now.

Guests arrive via a winding driveway embraced by wild flowers, olive groves and lemon trees, their skin sun-kissed… this can only be the Mediterranean, and with the Adriatic behind and an Italian fort ahead, this is pure, quintessential Puglia. Formerly a 17th century fort, now a five star boutique hotel, Masseria San Domenico is world-famous for its superlative service and facilities.

Yet it has a well-kept secret, only revealed by its contented guests relaxing in robes and slippers by the pool.

The Thalasso-therapy spa at Masseria San Domenico, is a large spa by UK standards with 22 treatment rooms.

As a ‘medical spa’ guests are met by a doctor who designs a personalised programme that ensures guests leaves with a glow to their skin and a skip in their stride.

This is a spa of two halves, the upstairs area is dedicated to Thalasso-therapy; downstairs is home to holistic therapies, traditional beauty treatments and fitness.

For those new to Thalasso, this therapy features ‘wet’ treatments using sea water, steam and mud which are transformed into treatments including scrubs, baths, masks and massages.

The key behind this Thalasso-therapy Spa is the sea water pumped from deep beneath the Masseria. Treatments combine seawater elements such as iodine, chloride, magnesium, potassium, calcium, salt, plankton and seaweed.

Thanks to the process of osmosis, treatments help water retention, poor circulation, stress, allergies, skin conditions and induce complete relaxation.

If getting wet and muddy is not your thing, there are ‘dry’ treatments available too. On the lower floor, guests are welcomed by a quiet serenity where candles glitter and aromatherapy scents linger. Guests can choose between Thai Massage, Shiatsu, Ayurvedic and hot stone massage or yoga classes, whilst signature treatments use the local olive oil made from the trees at the Hotel.

And to top it all off, there are sauna and hammam rooms, a fitness centre, relaxation chamber and herbal tea room, plus a hairdresser and beautician to ensure guests are pampered from top to toe.

To inspire British travelers to discover this iconic Spa and the healing therapies of Thalasso-therapy, Masseria San Domenico offers bespoke (as well as packaged) Spa programmes.
