About Us
We love the finer things in life. We know you do too. At Plush Life, we don’t apologise for decadence.
We are based in London and via Plush Life we work hard (someone has to do it) to review the very best hotels, spas, restaurants and experiences in the UK and beyond.
Our aim is to seek out, celebrate and share authentically luxurious experiences, to champion wonderful stories in the world of hospitality, and to inspire you to visit the places we’ve discovered in your own precious downtime.
Fleur Passant
Plush Life’s Fleur Passant is also the co-founder of Holly & Beau, a colour-changing children’s rainwear brand.
One of her most recent escapes was to Verina Sifnos – a blissful boutique hotel on the Cycladic island of Sifnos with views of the Aegean sea and a food scene to watch.
A discerning diner and a talented home cook, her London dining recommendations are unparalleled. Chefs, hotels and recipes are her specialist subject, should you be in need of recommendations (and she loves a good bakery).
Don’t miss her review of Les Sources de Caudalie in Bordeaux, France, a beautiful hotel nestled in the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte which combines a few of Fleur’s favourite things: spa treatments, top notch wines and incredible restaurants.
Fleur adores France, and you’ll also find her travelling to the likes of Morocco and Kenya when she’s not enjoying the best of London.
Favourite sweet: Either Ottolenghi’s buttery malted milk chocolate oaties or Rabitos Royale dark bombón de higo (chocolate fig bonbons) . These dried figs, grown in Almoharín in Spain, are filled with dark chocolate truffle and a touch of brandy and then covered with dark chocolate. They’re stocked by the Spanish chef José Pizarro’s website. If they’re good enough for him, they’re good enough for Fleur.
Favourite suite: How to choose! The Kensington Suite at The Doyle Collection’s The Kensington hotel in London is a perfectly plush Regency townhouse escape, with a Victorian roll top bath. Combine a stay with a show at the Royal Albert Hall for the ultimate London weekend.
