In County Donegal, Ireland, a Tiny Inn Offers a Hyper-Local Travel Experience

The back story of Breac House, a tiny hotel in northwest Ireland’s County Donegal, sounds like a cautionary tale: Two city-slickers, accountants from Dublin, who’d never worked at a hotel or served a scone, decide to open a custom-built, designer property on a remote, windswept peninsula that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. Cue the wizened locals ready to fleece them, the natural and man-made catastrophes, and you have all the makings of a bad sitcom, with Monocle meets Fawlty Towers as the log line.The reality is different: Cathrine Burke, 51, and Niall Campbell, 51, have managed to create a remarkable hotel, not by flying in a starchitect from London, stocking the place with fancy products and serving globalized cuisine, but by staying resolutely Donegal. Their guiding principle in se...

Holiday Inn London Sutton unveils refurbishment – Business Traveller

Located off the top of Sutton High Street close to the town’s rail station, the Holiday Inn London Sutton first opened in the early 1990s. I grew up nearby and have frequented the hotel many times for everything from school graduation parties to NCT classes, although I have never actually stayed there, and will aim to review the property next time I am in town. Having enjoyed a near monopoly for decades, the hotel has faced increasing competition in recent years, with the opening of a Premier Inn Premier Inn close to the town’s St Nicholas centre in 2019, followed by the dual-branded ibis London Sutton Point and Aparthotel Adagio London Sutton Point in 2021. My review of the ibis London Sutton Point from late last year can be seen at: Hotel review: Ibis London Sutton Point Commenting on...
