A small hotel in Copenhagen that's big on style

An affordable hotel is what most people look for when going on a city break; and if you're visiting Copenhagen, then The Avenue Hotel could be just the place for you. Within walking distance from the city centre, this boutique hotel sets new standards for the three star concept. It has also just been awarded the Best Small Hotel 2011 by International Hotel Awards.

The modern but friendly interior was designed by Mikael Mammen - known for his role in redesigning many leading restaurants and cafes in the city. There are 68 rooms, all furnished in elegant Scandinavian design with Missoni bedspreads. All rooms have hairdryers, cable TV, a fridge, and complimentary internet access. There are also 14 A+ rooms which have more space, DVD players, and cold drinks in the fridge.

A plentiful buffet breakfast is served between 645am and 10am (1030 at weekends), with an ever changing selection of homemade breads and conserves; cold meats, and fresh coffee. It's the sort of spread where you can stock up, so you can sightsee until your heart's content without the need to stop for lunch!

The hotel's lounge bar is a warm and cosy place to relax. It's open from noon to midnight, and although there is no restaurant for evening meals, light dishes are served alongside amazing cocktails and fine wines.

All guests comment on the warm welcoming staff, and that means the hotel are delivering on their philosophy of providing guests with more than just a comfortable room, but an experience that makes guests feel at home. If you'd like more information on the Avenue Hotel, then visit their official website here.

The undisputed King of Chicken Piri Piri!

Image
If you like chicken, and haven't yet tried Piri Piri, I have to break it to you.....you're missing out big time! The dish is traditionally made from Piri Piri peppers which originated in South Africa, and were imported to Portugal from Angola and Mozambique. Restaurants across Portugal have their own individual recipes for the dish; but the Algarve town of Guia is said to have the most authentic Piri-Piri houses, and I am quite confident when I say I think I have found the best. O Teodósio (otherwise known as King of Chicken) opens for lunch at 12 noon; and 6pm for evening meals. Trust me, it pays to get there just before it opens. Long queues of people soon build up, and every time I've eaten there it has been mobbed - quite impressive when you consider it seats nearly 700! Although they do serve other dishes, you never see a menu being handed out - you simply order "Frango piri piri, batatas fritas e salada" (chicken piri piri, chips, and salad). It'

Life is not a dress rehearsal

Image
Ever since I was a little girl, my dad told me "Life is not a dress rehearsal". While it was a phrase that stuck in my mind, it didn't resonate with me until I got a bit older, and realised that he was totally right! We spend so much of our lives at work; in meetings, and sometimes doing things we don't always enjoy. So when we have time off and go on holiday, we have to make the most of it. Take time to look up at that blue sky, breathe in that fresh air to give us new energy for when we have to return to reality! One of my passions is travel - another is research, which combine to make a brilliant partnership! I love finding places off the beaten track; hotels that make you go 'ooooooh'; B&B's that make you feel you could just unpack your suitcase and stay forever, and attractions in different countries that you may not find in your guide book!  This is why I decided to start Travel Lightbulb - I want to share some of the great things I've

A peaceful oasis in Marrakech

Image
I may have found the perfect spot to stay in Marrakech. Some people say that walking around the city makes your head spin, and the place I'm featuring today is the perfect peaceful antidote to that. Riad Dar-K is an elegant peaceful oasis in the medina of Marrakech. The fantastic location (about two minutes from the souks and the museum) in one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the Medina means you can never get lost. Traditional architecture combined with modern touches ensures this is one stunning guest house. The rooms are not only nicely decorated but are also spacious, and the best thing is there are only two double rooms and two suites. If you have a preference for air conditioning, request a room or suite on the first floor. The room rates include breakfast, which is served in the dining room, courtyard, or on the roof terrace, according to the season. If you wish, traditional Moroccan lunch or dinners are also available on request. There is a plunge pool (which
