Then add Hong Kong high-rises, overwater bungalows in the Maldives and luxury tented camps set in the Australian outback. She’s certainly seen her fair share of canopied beds, French freestanding bathtubs, infinity pools and buffet breakfasts.Just wait until you hear her pick for the most romantic hotel on the planet!CULTURE GUIDEThe Darjeeling Limited (film) by Wes AndersonMurder on the Orient Express (book) by Agatha ChristieThe Great Railway Bazaar (book) by Paul TherouxDESTINATION INSPIRATIONMelbourneChin Chin, MelbourneSupernormal, MelbournePt.
