Marina Mandarin Singapore hotel

I pause by the lifts and photograph down into the atrium.

This hotel opened its doors in 1987 but there’s nothing tired about the Marina Mandarin Singapore. Refurbs have ensured John Portman’s symmetrical design continues to impress.

Zagreb Tourfilm Festival

One of my personal highlights of 2015 was attending the Zagreb Tourfilm Festival, where I had the honour of being President of the Jury. The film festival was held in the Croatian capital from 21 to 24 September.
