LIKE TO HAVE: MINIBAR FOR THE MIND

April 6th, 2011

I love a well stocked mini bar – especially with funny items in it. At the Ace Hotel in Portland I felt like home when they offered me Stroopwafels – a Dutch delight. The Morgans Hotel Group teams up with the School of Life and if you’re staying in one of their hotels you get this Minibar for the Mind set. In it you’ll find Conversation Starters (speaks for itself), Collective Thoughts (inspiring thoughts written down by members of the School of Life), Dreams & Fears Notebook and a set of really great pencils. I love it! Oh, you can also buy the set via their website for 40 euro.

If you like being watched. Rooms have huge windows and some people in nearby restaurants carry binoculars to get an up close and personal view.
If you’re into networking: the whole world of creativity gets together in this world.
If you’re not staying here, you could go for a yoga lesson, a dinner at the Standard Grill or just a drink in the Living Room.
