Last week we attended Luxperience: an industry event for bespoke luxury and high-end experiential travel. If you follow our Instagram feed, you'd think it was all Champagne, Canapés and fun in the harbour city and you'd be partly right, but there was a serious side to the event with business meetings and industry networking.
If you think bed & breakfast establishments are death by doily for the blue rinse set, then think again. There is a strong movement in Australia of contemporary bed & breakfast's popping up in a fabulous destination near you, offering a high level of sophistication & style.
Today we celebrate alluxia’s 3rd Birthday, hooray! It’s been an amazing adventure, and while it might appear to be all glamorous jetsetting, there’s a lot of geeky work behind the scene to bring you our website of luxury escapes.
This week, we spent time on the Gold Coast attending an industry conference and staying at Q1 Resort & Spa in the heart of Surfers Paradise. I must confess, Gold Coast hasn’t previously been my go-to destination, despite its close proximity from Brisbane. I’ve seen the destination with fresh eyes this week and I was mighty impressed! Waking early each morning to walk along the beach at sunrise was an invigorating way to start the day. The Surfers Paradise Foreshore redevelopment is nothing short of spectacular and the city is preparing itself ahead of the Commonwealth Games in 2018 in style.
The dining scene is on the improve too and we had a fabulous night at Black Coffee Lyrics, just a short walk from Q1. With its unassuming location (upstairs of an arcade) the fit-out is super cool with dark bricks and retro style giving it an underground feel. The food, service and atmosphere were exceptional, however the real standout was the Espresso Martini, at happy hour prices no less!
