From the Eiffel Tower and world-renowned museums to charming cafes tucked away on picturesque streets, the French capital offers a plethora of memory-making moments. Andrew Snape checks into the oh-so Parisian Hotel Wallace.
Arriving in Paris Orly, I negotiate the cavernous, elegant and efficient metro, navigating through tiled tunnels and Victorian latticed bridges, into the throbbing city centre around La Motte-Picquet Grenelle station. A couple of minutes down Rue du Commerce and Rue Fondary and I reach my abode for the night, Hotel Wallace.
Nestled in the 15th arrondissement, the Wallace is a modern boutique hotel modelled on the style of the Italian Riviera. My room is compact, but the bed is big, and the mix of wooden panelling and metallic fixtures delivers a traditional feel with a modern aesthetic. From the beautiful glossy lacquered wood headboards and fringed sconces to the terrazzo bathroom, the décor is beguiling, inviting me to take a few moments to rest my travel-weary bones. I suspect, however, that if I lie on the bed I’ll not be getting up again – the Hotel Wallace has always been an open house for travellers in search of new discoveries, so discover I must. It’s time to explore the city.
Paris is in full flow this morning and I’m in the centre of it. The Eiffel Tower is just around the corner, but the stunning view from Place Joffre is obscured by the modernism of the Grand Palais Ephemere, the home of judo and wrestling for the Olympics. The five rings are everywhere, and masses of temporary seating lines the Seine, waiting for
the elite rowers to take to the water and fight the currents of the powerful river. Grand seating at the Trocadero gives stunning views for the road racing – both foot and wheeled – but the Eiffel Tower provides what must be the greatest view for a spectator in the history of the event.
After a day of taking in the pre-Olympic atmosphere of central Paris, I sink into a chair at one of Wallace’s two bars. The Tuco Rooftop Bar offers views of the Eiffel Tower, but I’ve opted instead to sit outside on the Tuco Terrace, where I sip on a crisp glass of white. The sky is shifting from bright-blue sky to pinks and oranges, and the warm air makes the chilled wine even more refreshing. It’s the perfect place to let the day drift into evening.
The receptionist has recommended Café du Commerce for dinner. It sits just around the corner and is everything one could want in a Parisian eatery. Early 20th-century elegance is spread across three galleried floors and tables are being rapidly served by the immaculately aproned and waistcoated army of waiters. This is pure Paris, and I watch the coming and going during the short wait for a table to become free in this popular dining spot.
It may sound like sacrilege, but my eye is drawn to the Saucisse de l’Aveyron, with a jus au thym and puree maison – a Parisian version of sausages and mash. This, however, is nothing like anything you’d find in England. The slightly spiced pork saucisson is on another level and I’m quick to declare the mash the best I’ve ever had. The jus is the perfect accompaniment. The chocolate lava cake adds to the delight of the meal. The staff at the hotel clearly know all the right places.
When I finish dinner, I find the crowds are still out in force, enjoying the warm night on the Haussmanndesigned boulevards. Every table outside of every cafe, bar and restaurant is occupied by fashionable locals and mesmerised visitors. Car horns ring out, the lateevening rush hour showing no sign of abating. It feels like a busy Saturday night, rather than the lazy Sunday evening I was expecting.
After a sound night’s sleep, I make my way to breakfast, served in the Wallace’s basement Orso restaurant. Everything is unashamedly and delightfully Parisian. Cold meats, slices of cheese, fresh locally baked bread, locally roasted coffee, jam from Haute-Savoie and honey from Oise provide a perfect pairing of simple and delicious. The only question is whether to have another helping.
Departing the comfort of the hotel, I stroll the avenues and boulevards that build on Paris’ reputation for elegance. I roam the Champs-Elysees and along the banks of the Seine, stopping for some cafe-based people-watching – one of the city’s favourite pastimes. This is Paris as it should be: unhurried, cultured and ever so stylish. Much like the Hotel Wallace, it’s a delight to behold. n
Conceived as a chic and friendly motel on the Italian Riviera, Hotel Wallace offers attentive service throughout your stay. From breakfast under the glass roof to the sunset on the terrace, the 45 rooms at the Wallace offer an elegant, relaxed and thoughtful travel experience.

The design of golf courses is evolving. We speak with Jeremy Slessor, Managing Director of European Golf Design, to learn what good golf design looks like, how it’s changing and where it can be found.
Golf course design is primarily the organisation of landscape features to make the game enjoyable for those playing a round. It’s something European Golf Design is well versed in, as the Golf Course Design Company of the European Tour Group. The company has earned a reputation for producing successful resorts, members and tournament golf courses that are consistently highly rated – three of the courses have been voted best new course in Europe and two are within the top 100 courses in the world. We chat with Jeremy Slessor, MD of European Golf Design, about the fundamentals and future of golf course design.
What are the most important considerations when designing a golf course?
Course considerations start long before the design process. The initial phase is to understand the client’s business objectives, which is often part of a wider project including residential and/or commercial elements. This leads to the establishment of a design brief, highlighting issues such as the type of course required, the budget, schedule, target market and so on.
From that, we assess the land. It’s crucial to understand the opportunities and constraints within the land itself before design begins. In the past, the convention was to figure out the best course possible on a parcel of land and then look at the environmental implications. Now, the process is led by appraisal – you need to understand where the environmentally sensitive areas of the site are and route the course around those areas. Consideration is also given to the ground conditions and topography to determine the most efficient route around the land that will maximise the golf potential while minimising, or removing, any negative impact of the course.
How important is sustainability and what are some of the ways it is factored into design?
There are four main pillars to sustainability – economic, environmental, social and cultural. Our view is that if a new development can’t demonstrate a balance of all four elements, it should not move forward. Economic and environmental arguments are often readily apparent, but social and cultural elements are less appreciated. In simple terms, development provides employment opportunities and revenue for the locality. It’s important for the local, regional and wider community to understand this and view the development as an asset. That comes about through engagement at the earliest stages, continuing through the life of the project.
We completed a project in the Caribbean where the client challenged us on sustainability across all aspects. We were tasked with sourcing from the island as much as possible and hiring local personnel. The client also challenged us to think differently about the non-play areas of the course. Typically, this would be covered by ‘far rough’ – areas where the grass is mown maybe once or twice a year, but which provides a visual frame for the hole. He suggested we could plant crops or fruit trees instead, which could be used in the resort kitchens or consumed by golfers on the course. This resulted in planning each hole with areas for crops and developing seasonal signage around the course indicating when crops are ready to be eaten. This became one of the resort’s straplines - ‘the world’s first edible golf course’.
What barriers can crop up during a golf course design project?
While every site has different challenges, there are a few issues that regularly appear. Water is often a major issue, whether it’s finding a sustainable source for irrigation, or handling drainage. We know using municipal water supply
or ground water is not sustainable from an economic or environmental perspective. It is now more common for the irrigation supply to be a by-product of other operations –in many locations, treated sewage water (TSE) is the main source of irrigation supply. This has multiple benefits: it limits the amount of TSE getting into the aquifer; it is typically high in nutrients, reducing the amount of additional fertilisation required, and the grasses and soils act as a further filter to remove any trace elements before that water reaches the ground water.
Other common challenges include Biodiversity Net Gain, which is relatively new legislation that requires developments to demonstrate that the biodiversity of a parcel of land is increased by a minimum of 10% after the work is finished, compared to before development; environmental constraints, such as ancient woodland, wetlands, heathland and so on; services (water, electric, gas) crossing the site; financial constraints; and more.
Nowadays, most innovation relates to sustainability, which necessitates looking at each aspect of the development to determine where new technologies can be introduced, even if those technologies are unknown to golf development.
An example of this is a course we designed in the Netherlands, where the site was heavy peat. This needed drainage to make it playable, with the engineers estimating that the site would ‘sink’ between 3 and 7 metres from existing levels, but would not do so uniformly. This is a major problem for greens, which are designed with specific contouring to create different playing strategies. We needed to come up with a method of construction that would allow the greens to settle uniformly, without changing the fundamental design characteristics. We ended up using new technology from the construction trade called Foamcrete – it is basically concrete that is full of air bubbles – to provide a concrete raft for the greens with the strength of concrete but about 70% less weight.
Name three courses that are examples of clever course design
I like to think each of the courses we have done has been designed intelligently. Of other courses, Loch Lomond is a
great piece of work by Tom Weiskopf – some of the green complexes are sublime, and interestingly, as beautiful as the environment it sits within is, you could put it on a bland parcel of land surrounded by industrial estates and it would still be a great test of golf.
Tom Simpson is a well-known ‘Golden Age’ architect who completed many brilliant courses. One of the less well known is Golf du Lys, northeast of Paris. It is outstanding –at first glance it presents a simple challenge but after time, some of the subtlety and nuance starts to reveal itself. Even after 100 years with relatively little care and attention, it’s all still there just waiting to be rediscovered.
Finally, the course at Sunningdale Heath provides a solid blueprint for ‘everyday’ golf for the future. All the essentials are there, but on a reduced scale – the course is mainly par 3s with four or five par 4s so a full round can be enjoyed in about two hours, but if you play anywhere close to your handicap index, you’ve played some quality golf. n
Designed by F3 Architects, Kenwood House in Radlett, Hertfordshire is something of an architectural masterpiece. Sophie Green explores this stunning property.
It’s no secret that parts of Hertfordshire are rather wellto-do. Consider for a moment places like St Albans and Harpenden, along with a range of alternative towns and villages that offer a relaxed country lifestyle with easy access to the capital. It is therefore unsurprising that celebrities and successful sportspeople are drawn to the area. The result is a property market that boasts more than its fair share of spectacular residences.
One such residence, Kenwood House, is nestled in the idyllic village of Radlett, a locale that is known for its large homes, access to good private schools and quaint village feel. Radlett sits between St Albans and Elstree. It is situated along the valley of Tykes Water and surrounded by the Metropolitan Green Belt, with central London a mere 16 miles away.
To put it simply, Kenwood House is magnificent. This exquisite nine-bedroom home sits within an expansive 19-acre estate and offers a staggering 15,000 square feet of luxurious living space. Spanning four floors, including a sprawling 4,250 square foot basement entertainment area. A lift effortlessly connects all four floors, ensuring accessibility.
Stepping inside, guests are welcomed by a generously proportioned entrance hall, with a staircase leading to the first-floor mezzanine. The ground-floor layout incorporates a sitting room, dining room and study, all of which feature French doors leading outside. There is also a drawing room that looks into a lightwell. The
extended open-plan kitchen and family room is a light and airy highlight. This relaxing space features floor-toceiling glass that opens onto a courtyard area, backed by the outdoor swimming pool.
There are five en suite bedrooms on the first floor, including the expansive principal bedroom with en suite. This beautiful room features bi-fold and French doors that lead to a wrap-around terrace overlooking the pool. Four further bedrooms are on the second floor, along with a second kitchen, study and laundry, providing flexible living arrangements for extended family.
The final floor, the basement, is a haven of relaxation and entertainment. It features a state-of-the-art gym, a lavish pool, a private movie room and a rejuvenating steam room. Additionally, a grand nightclub/bar area awaits, promising unforgettable evenings of revelry. Thoughtfully designed, the residence also includes staff accommodation, a triple car garage, and a majestic 300-metre, tree-lined driveway.
Outside, Kenwood House demonstrates its suitability for hosting grand gatherings, with the rear gardens of the property being a sight to behold.

The Vibe Hotel Melbourne is an architectural gem in the heart of Melbourne. Overlooking the Yarra River, the dual-fronted building’s interior design features metal accents, raw materials and a neutral colour palette that whispers chic with an edge.
The reticulated floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the hotel allow for incredible unobstructed views over the river to Southbank and beyond. Observe the tiny trains below as they trundle through the city, backed by Melbourne’s city skyline.
Come evening, watching Melbourne as it dons its party clothes ready to dazzle during the night is a highlight, and is best done from the recently opened Fleet Rooftop Bar. Perched 22 levels above Vibe Hotel Melbourne, Fleet invites you to unwind in an urban oasis that offers mesmerising views.
Also on offer is a thoughtfully curated drinks menu, including seasonal spritzes, G&Ts and cocktails with a twist – think Strawberry & Matcha Fizz, Winter Spiced Mojitos and Popcorn Old Fashioned. Should you lack the energy to make your way to the ground-floor One Queen Restaurant for dinner, Fleet dishes up a delicious array of tempting treats, from braised pork cheek croquettes to charcoal mushroom arancini.
So raise your martini glass – direct from the bespoke Martini Trolley of course – and vibe the views of this vibrant southern Australian city.

In today’s fast-paced world, having a dedicated entertainment hub at home is essential. Fine & Country Property Staging share styling tips to help create an elegant entertaining space within your home.
An entertainment hub is a place to unwind, enjoy quality time with family and friends and immerse yourself in the world of movies, games and music. Whether you live in a spacious house or a cosy apartment, creating an entertainment hub is easier than you might think. Here’s how to transform part of your home into the ultimate entertainment sanctuary.
1. Define your space
First things first: determine where you want your entertainment hub to be. This could be a spare room, a section of your living room, or even a basement or outbuilding. Think about the size of the area and how many people you want to accommodate for. Importantly, ensure the space has the necessary infrastructure for your electronics.
2. Choose your main attraction
What will be the focal point of your entertainment hub?
There are several common options:
• Home theatre: If you are a film buff, invest in a highquality projector or a large flat-screen TV, a sound system and comfortable seating.
• Gaming setup: For gamers, a powerful gaming console or PC, ergonomic furniture and high-definition monitors are essential.
• Music and dance: If you love music, consider installing a premium sound system, soundproofing the room and maybe adding a small floating dance floor.
3. Invest in quality audio and visual equipment
The heart of any entertainment hub is the audio-visual experience. Here’s what you need:
• Television or projector: Choose a 4K TV or a projector with high resolution and brightness.
• Sound system: A surround-sound system can dramatically enhance your viewing experience.
• Streaming devices: Ensure you can stream your favourite shows and movies whether directly through the TV or via a streaming add-on.
4. Comfortable seating
Comfort is key; depending on your setup, you might choose:
• Recliners: Perfect for home theatres, providing both comfort and style.
• Beanbags: Great for a relaxed, fun atmosphere, especially for gaming rooms.
• Sectional sofas: Ideal for larger spaces and families, allowing everyone to lounge comfortably.
5. Lighting
The perfect ambience can be created in a room with the use of clever lighting, especially when it comes to your entertainment hub. Consider these tips:
• Dimmable lights: Install dimmable LED lights to control the brightness according to your activity.
• Accent lighting: Use LED strips or smart bulbs behind your TV or around the room for a contemporary feel.
• Blackout curtains: If you are setting up a home theatre, blackout curtains help eliminate outside light for a better viewing experience.
6. Organise your media and accessories
Keeping your entertainment hub organised is crucial. Use the following:
• Shelving units: Store DVDs, games and other media in an organised manner.
• Cable management: Use cable ties and management systems to keep cords and wires out of sight.
• Remote-control holder: Keep your remotes in one place for ease of use.
7. Personal touches
Add elements that reflect your personality and preferences:
• Décor: Posters, framed artworks and themed décor can add a personal touch.
• Snacks and drinks station: A mini fridge, a snack bar or even a popcorn machine can add to the fun.
• Themed rooms: A more extreme decorating option may be to create a themed space based on a favourite film or game.
8. Smart home integration
Finally, integrating smart home technology can enhance functionality:
• Voice control: Use smart assistants like Alexa or Google Home to control lights, TV and sound systems.
• Smart plugs: Control devices remotely and save energy with smart plugs.
• Automation: Set up routines for different activities, like dimming the lights and turning on the TV for movie night.
Creating an entertainment hub in your home can provide endless hours of fun and relaxation for the whole family. By carefully planning your space, investing in quality equipment and adding personal touches, you can design a space where you will love to spend your downtime. Whether you are hosting a film night, an intense gaming session or a casual gathering with friends, your entertainment hub will be the go-to spot for making lasting memories. n
