In this season of good cheer and high spirits, we thought you might need a little festive drinking inspiration, so we put our heads together, sank a few martinis, lost track of what we were doing somewhat and then decided to get someone else to do it for us. So we quizzed Soho bar supremo [...]
Yes, that’s right – it’s new-review time again! Every time we publish an anonymously conducted hotel review by Mr & Mrs Smith, we’ll let you know here on the Smith Travel Blog, so you can keep pace with our global wanderings.
