by PerryGolf Staff on May 10, 2012

Jaime Ortiz-Patiño owns one of the most famous collections of golf memorabilia in the world…and he’s set to sell it.  Nobody knows the reason for the sale, but we do know that his collection is ready to be sold at auction in London on the 30th of May this year.  Many of the items which will be for sale will be exhibited in Dubai, Hong Kong, and New York over the coming months to stir up some interest.  The collection is made up of golf balls, clubs, programs and official documents, and also some outstanding art-work.

Fairmont Savoy Hotel, London

by PerryGolf Staff on November 11, 2010

A while ago I added a blog about the refurbishment of the famous Savoy Hotel on The Strand in London.  I am delighted to report that the hotel opened its doors on Sunday the 10th of October 2010.  The 10/10/10 was projected by numerologists as a very prodigious day for romance, new projects and art – what better day to open a hotel with links to the Edwardian and Art Deco era and all its romance!

Bulgari – A New Luxury Hotel for London

by PerryGolf Staff on October 13, 2010

Bulgari – a familiar name to the ladies for exclusive jewellery and exotic perfume (I am lucky enough to have a striking amber box on my dressing-table) – are to build an equally luxurious boutique hotel in Knightsbridge, London.  Influenced by the company’s history as silversmiths to the very rich and famous, the hotel will have silver as the main theme and has been designed on the same lines as the original Bulgari hotel in Milan, Italy and by the same designer.

Buckingham Palace Open to Public

by PerryGolf Staff on July 29, 2010

The Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace commenced on the 27th of July, and this years’ exhibition runs until the 1st of October.  The theme is The Queens Year and is a collection of Her Majesty’s outfits and robes (including the Robe of State) on display to the public for the first time.

Some of the state rooms are also available to the public and it is a rare chance for visitors to walk around these magnificent rooms and admire the furniture and paintings, or to escape to the tranquillity of the palace gardens.  Walking amongst the flowers it is hard to imagine the busy city which is bustling on every side.

London’s Fairmont Savoy Hotel on Time

by PerryGolf Staff on July 19, 2010

One of London’s most famous hotels is on schedule for its re-opening in October this year.  The Savoy Hotel on The Strand closed at the end of 2007 and has been undergoing a very ambitious restoration to offer the very finest up-to-date facilities without destroying the much loved atmosphere of this grand hotel.  The hotel has featured in many movies, and no trip to London for the rich and famous was complete without afternoon tea at The Savoy.

London – Things To Do and See

by PerryGolf Staff on May 12, 2010

If you have some free time for sightseeing in the UK and you want to experience the buzz of a big city, then London is a must!  On a recent trip I was amazed at how easy it was to travel around London on the underground; it really is the quickest and most effective way to get from A to B.  There are so many things to do and see that you really need more than 3 days to experience all that is on offer.
