The Ghan, Australia: Feel the Vastness

The Ghan is one of the world’s most extraordinary rail journeys. Covering a distance of around 3,000 kilometers, this luxury train connects southern and northern Australia, rattling through ever-changing landscapes over the course of three days. As it travels through the Outback, it offers exceptional service—featuring luxurious suites, fine dining, and fascinating stops along the way.
The sheer scale! The uninhabited expanse! The vastness of the Outback wilderness, experienced while traversing Australia from north to south, is as breathtaking as it is awe-inspiring. When the journey on The Ghan begins in Adelaide, the red locomotives pull the stainless-steel carriages past gently rolling vineyards and pastureland. Then, however, the landscape changes dramatically. Whether gazing out the window from your cabin, the bar, or the dining car, you see the barren Outback rolling by—red desert, trees, grass, and towering termite mounds. Above all, the train makes its way along the predominantly single-track line, pushing ever deeper into the heart of Australia, a landscape blanketed in seemingly endless bush.

Slowing Down

Of course, you can cross the "Fifth Continent" on your own. But in an airplane, you never get a true sense of the continent's vast scale. And a road trip in a rental car? That is long and exhausting—and always accompanied by the worry of breaking down in the middle of nowhere. The most comfortable way to slow down and enjoy the journey is aboard The Ghan, traveling one of the most extraordinary rail routes on Earth. After all, Australia’s most famous train is the only transcontinental passenger service connecting the north and the south. Covering a distance of 2,979 kilometers, the train travels via Coober Pedy—famous for its opal mines—and on through Alice Springs and Katherine, traversing four climate zones and 22 degrees of latitude on the journey from Adelaide on the south coast to Darwin, the tropical capital of the Northern Territory (or vice versa). Depending on the specific itinerary, the train’s rhythmic swaying and sounds serve as a lullaby for passengers over the course of two or three nights.

The Ghan is no ordinary scheduled service; rather, it is a luxury train steeped in history that offers all-inclusive amenities on board. Three meals are served daily, featuring exquisite multi-course dinners in the evening. Drinks—including b**r, w**e, Prosecco, cocktails, or non-alcoholic options—are available alongside, before, or between meals. Excursions during scheduled stops are also included in the fare.

The level of luxury experienced on the Ghan depends on the class of service booked. The most exclusive options are the brand-new Aurora and Australis suites, which offer spaciousness, stylish interiors, butler service, and expansive panoramic windows. The beverage selection is also more upscale in this category, featuring premium w**es and high-end ch*****ne.

While today one can traverse the continent in comfort and ease, the region remained largely unexplored by European colonial powers until the mid-19th century. It is difficult to imagine how, in 1861, John McDouall Stuart became the first European to find a path through this perilous and complex terrain. His route served as the basis not only for the first telegraph line but also, to a large extent, for the Ghan railway line—chosen largely because water was available along the route, a necessity for the steam locomotives of that era. A Stop in Alice Springs

Laying tracks across this landscape was a mammoth undertaking that—punctuated by long pauses—would ultimately span more than a century. Work on the line began in 1878 but stalled at Oodnadatta, only to resume there forty years later. In the interim, cameleers from Afghanistan maintained a transport network, guiding caravans that carried people and goods to and from the Red Centre. The various names the Ghan has borne throughout its history reflect this legacy—ranging from "The Afghan Express" to "The Royal Ghan." In 1929, the narrow-gauge railway finally reached Alice Springs, the heart of Australia. On the second day of the modern-day Ghan journey, the train makes an extended stop in this Outback capital. The town originated around the old telegraph station, which is now an open-air museum. Alice Springs was also the destination for the three drag queens in the road movie *Priscilla, Queen of the Desert*. Around 30,000 people live here, far removed from almost everything else. Yet, there is plenty for travelers to discover—from galleries showcasing Aboriginal art to the Kangaroo Sanctuary, where rescued joey marsupials are raised with great care and affection.

If you decide to take a trip to the Royal Flying Doctor Service museum in Alice Springs, you will get an insight into how medical care works in such a large, very sparsely populated region. However, if you hope to see Uluru, i.e. Ayers Rock, on the Ghan journey, it is still a few hundred kilometers away and therefore too far away. But you can take a trip to the surrounding area of Alice Springs - to the MacDonnell Ranges. The destination in the over 600 kilometer long mountain range is the Simpsons Gap, a gorge with steep cliffs that is still an important spiritual place for the Arrernte natives today. In front of it there is a waterhole where, with a bit of luck, you can observe the wallabies, smaller marsupials from the kangaroo family, which are perfectly camouflaged and hiding in the rock.

Far from civilization

From Alice Springs, however, the Ghan did not go further north for many decades. Further construction only began in 2001, and in 2004 the transcontinental connection finally reached as far as Darwin. In this most recent section, traces of human civilization are barely visible. “The train travels through a landscape where people normally hardly get to,” says Tom Borthwick. The 31-year-old is on board the Journey Manager and ensures that everything runs smoothly for the passengers. "We also have a lot of q***r guests, there are also a lot of q***r people in the crew, especially in my team. The more colorful, the better," says Borthwick, himself bisexual, as the train with 31 carriages, 202 guests and 37 crew members jerks through the landscape. After Alice Springs, Katherine is the first larger small town with a population of just 10,000. This is the last scheduled stop including the excursion. After a short drive through the city center, the bus heads to Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park, where everyone transfers to boats. “Strictly speaking, there are 13 gorges that wind, weather, rain and erosion have eaten into the sandstone in the Arnhem Plateau,” explains the guide as the journey through the rocky landscape begins. “Depending on the season, two types of crocodiles live in the river: freshwater crocodiles in the rainy season and now the larger, much more aggressive saltwater crocodiles in the dry season.”

However, none of the impressive giant reptiles, of which there are more than 100,000 in the Northern Territory, can be seen on the tour. This only changes at the end of the tour at lunch, when crocodile tail is served alongside kangaroo fillet and barramundi ceviche. Then it continues for around 300 kilometers, first through bushland again, then through an increasingly lush green landscape of the so-called Top End. It's hot when you arrive in Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory. And tropically humid. With 100,000 inhabitants, Darwin is by far the largest city in the north and has a lively LGBTQ community, but you shouldn't expect a lavish q***r nightlife. Until a while ago there was a nightclub, but now you can at least find some q***r-friendly locations. Above all, the city on the Timor Sea is a starting point for expanding further: to Kakadu National Park or Litchfield National Park, to explore a completely different side of Australia after the red center and the eternal bushland.

Virginia: A Poet at the Stove

He cooks the way a novelist writes: with feeling, elegance, and a flair for the extraordinary. Patrick O’Connell, the Michelin-starred chef behind the legendary *The Inn at Little Washington*, has revolutionized American haute cuisine, not through gimmicks, but with dedication, humor, and a dash of theatrical luxury.

In a remote small town in Virginia, nestled among rolling hills and winding country roads, lies a place that seems to exist outside of time. Here, in Little Washington, Virginia, American Michelin-starred chef Patrick O’Connell has created a *Gesamtkunstwerk* a total work of culinary art: *The Inn at Little Washington*. What was once a run-down gas station shop is now a three-Michelin-starred restaurant and hotel, serving as the stage for one of America’s most sensory-rich dining experiences. "I don’t believe in shocking people, I want to seduce them," O’Connell says with a warm smile during an interview. He is not a revolutionary in the classic sense; he is not someone who tinkers with foams using tweezers or engages in molecular gastronomy mind games. O’Connell is a storyteller. Every dish is a story, every plate a small theatrical production that reveals more about him personally than about trends or techniques.

From Outsider to Master
Born in Washington, D.C., in 1945, O’Connell grew up in modest circumstances. His career did not begin in classic French kitchens; instead, he was self-taught, educating himself through books, travel, and an unquenchable curiosity. In the 1970s, he opened *The Inn at Little Washington* with his then-partner Reinhardt Lynch, initially without running water and using borrowed cutlery. Yet, from the very beginning, the goal was clear: this was a place not just for eating, but for marveling. O’Connell’s cuisine blended French finesse with American down-to-earth sensibilities, long before the term "farm-to-table" even existed. “We wanted to show that fine dining is possible in America, too a cuisine that need not be ashamed of its local roots,” the chef emphasizes. Three weeks after the opening, John Rosson, the restaurant critic for the *Washington Star*, visited the tiny restaurant for dinner. Rosson’s article was published in April 1978, hailing O’Connell’s The Inn at Little Washington as “the best restaurant within 150 miles of Washington, D.C.” O’Connell’s ascent to the pinnacle of the American culinary scene became unstoppable.

Cuisine with Heart and a Sense of Place
O’Connell’s signature dishes read like a love letter to Virginia: “Sautéed foie gras with local apples,” “Rack of lamb with lavender jus,” or the playful “Tin of Sin", a small tin resembling a caviar container that surprises the diner with truffle mousse instead. Everything is perfectly choreographed yet never sterile. Whenever possible, ingredients are sourced from nearby farms. A small herd of goats lives on the Inn’s grounds, and many herbs grow right in the on-site garden. For O’Connell, it is not just about taste, but about feeling. His dishes aim to evoke memories, touch the heart, and surprise, often with a wink. “There is enough seriousness in life. Why shouldn’t good food bring joy, too?” he asks.

An Inn Straight Out of a Fairy Tale
The Inn at Little Washington is more than just a restaurant; it is a place steeped in poetry, theater, and eccentricity. The guest rooms are opulently appointed with brocade fabrics, antiques, soft music, and the scent of fresh-cut flowers. A neo-baroque style reminiscent of French châteaux dominates the dining room. Everything feels as though it sprang from a dream, the kind where Julia Child might sit down to dine with Oscar Wilde. O’Connell orchestrates the experience deliberately: waiters wear bespoke tuxedos, a restored London taxi awaits in the parking lot, and the kitchen operates at a standard rivaling Europe’s grand hotels. Yet, nothing feels contrived. "We want our guests to feel like royalty without having to put on an act," says the chef. From its early days, the restaurant served as what might today be called a "safe space." It was a sanctuary, not just for gourmets, but for anyone longing for a place where individuality was not merely tolerated but celebrated. In a state often known more for religious austerity than for diversity, this was a radical gesture. From the start, the staff included q***r individuals, artists, and nonconformists. Guests felt enchanted rather than judged. "We wanted to create a place where you could not only eat but also breathe deeply, freely, and without a mask," O’Connell recalls. This blend of excellence and eccentricity has earned the Inn numerous accolades: in addition to three Michelin stars, O’Connell boasts AAA Five Diamond Awards, James Beard Awards, and a distinction of which he is particularly proud, the National Humanities Medal, awarded by the U.S. President. The numerous celebrities, some of whom flew in by helicopter, included former US President Ronald Reagan, a regular guest who would have the famous chocolate soufflé cake delivered to the White House on a regular basis.

The Man Behind the Chef’s Hat
Despite his success, O’Connell has remained humble, at least in character. He never comes across as arrogant; rather, he is an old-school host who has mastered the art of listening. At the same time, he is openly gay without ever allowing himself to be defined solely by his sexuality. In an industry long dominated by machismo and rigid kitchen hierarchies, this was a statement elegant and understated, yet powerful. He jokingly refers to himself as the "Drama Queen of Dining." Yet his style is less flamboyant than it is baroque-humanist. Everything serves the goal of evoking emotion: wonder, laughter, memories. One of his most famous courses features a miniature cow on wheels placed before the guest, a playful prelude to the Wagyu course that follows. It is this blend of theater, kitsch, and culinary excellence that makes O’Connell’s cuisine unique. He rarely speaks about the death of the partner with whom he built The Inn. "This place is also a tribute to him," says O’Connell. Portraits, small mementos, and tender gestures of connection can be found in many corners.

Art, Cuisine, Continuity
Today, at over eighty years old, Patrick O’Connell has no plans to retire. He sees himself as a mentor, a curator, and sometimes a conductor. For him, the kitchen is both a stage and a laboratory. "You can’t stand still, but you have to know what you’re building upon," he explains. Even in the era of TikTok food trends and "fast fine dining," The Inn at Little Washington remains a symbol of constancy not old-fashioned, but timeless. O’Connell has succeeded in elevating American cuisine to the pinnacle of excellence without forsaking its roots. His dishes do more than just taste good, they tell stories. Stories of childhood memories, French dreams, rural tranquility, and a longing for beauty. They are love letters written on porcelain. And Patrick O’Connell remains the man who composes them with both pen and pan.

Atmosphere Over Opulence
The lobby sets the tone immediately: harmonious natural tones, soaring ceilings, modern art pieces, and a lighting concept that creates an atmosphere of both warmth and drama. It is a place that defines luxury not through opulence, but through atmosphere. A standout feature of the hotel is the Michelin-starred restaurant Lilac, curated by celebrity chef John Fraser. Here, Mediterranean elegance meets modern American cuisine in a setting that balances intimacy with the avant-garde.

The Silo Hotel: An Icon Reimagined

It is rare for a landmark to be reinterpreted—and even rarer for this to happen as spectacularly as it did with the transformation of the Grain Silo complex at Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront into the Zeitz MOCAA (Museum of Contemporary African Art) and The Silo Hotel.

Construction of the silos and the elevator tower began in 1921 with the aim of creating an export facility for locally grown grain and supporting local farmers and the economy around Table Bay. The Grain Silo was unmistakable; standing 57 meters tall, it was the highest building in Cape Town for over fifty years.

Recreating a Symbol
Award-winning London architect Thomas Heatherwick first took an interest in the Grain Silo in 2006, and ideas for its redesign evidently began to take shape in his mind at that time. Heatherwick’s concept was finalized by 2014. It envisioned transforming the 42 original silos—essentially massive concrete cylinders—into approximately 6,000 square meters of exhibition and atrium space. The six floors above the Zeitz MOCAA became The Silo Hotel—one of the jewels in The Royal Portfolio’s collection—which opened in March 2017. The facade, featuring unique glass windows that sparkle like diamonds by day and transform the building into a glowing landmark by night, stands as a testament to the ingenuity of Heatherwick Studio. This transformation from industrial building to luxury hotel and museum creates a spectacular blend of raw concrete, industrial heritage, and high-end interiors. Today, the hotel spans six floors and features 28 individually designed rooms across six categories—ranging from Silo Rooms, family suites, and Royal Suites to a luxurious penthouse with panoramic views of Table Mountain. In these individually and artfully appointed rooms and suites, the interplay of materials, lighting, and furnishings creates a deeply evocative atmosphere. Each suite houses a collection of contemporary African art.

The Granary Restaurant
The Granary offers a unique culinary experience that blends modern South African cuisine with international flair. Situated on the sixth floor, the restaurant boasts breathtaking views of the V&A Waterfront and Table Mountain. Under the guidance of Executive Chef Veronica Canha-Hibbert—formerly of Ellerman House and the Mount Nelson Hotel—The Granary focuses on fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients. The menu features a mix of classic dishes and modern interpretations, reflecting both local and international influences. The café serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. Breakfast includes a selection of cold items such as fruit, cheese, and smoked salmon, alongside hot options like blueberry waffles with crème fraîche and basil, or crispy fried eggs with avocado, kale, feta, and jalapeño. Lunch offerings include dishes such as endive salad with green apple, Parmesan, and walnuts, or steak frites with wild garlic béarnaise sauce. In the evening, the café transforms into an elegant restaurant with a romantic ambiance. Dishes like the *tarte au chocolat*—served with macarons, cream, and hazelnut ice cream—round off the culinary experience. A particular highlight is the Royal Tea, featuring a selection of petit fours and exquisite specialty teas.

Rooftop
The rooftop terrace at The Silo Hotel in Cape Town offers a relaxed setting with views of the city, Table Mountain, and the Atlantic Ocean. As the highest point at the V&A Waterfront, it serves as an exclusive retreat for hotel guests and visitors alike. Open daily from noon until sunset, the terrace invites guests to unwind with cocktails and light bites. The drinks menu features a selection of classic cocktails alongside South African w**es and sparkling w**es. A standout feature is the heated infinity pool with a glass wall, offering spectacular views of Signal Hill and Lion’s Head.

Shangri-La London The Shard - Luxury Above the Clouds

There are hotels that you book and those that you experience. The Shangri-La London in the iconic skyscraper The Shard clearly belongs to the second category. From the 34th floor begins a world in which London lies at your feet and luxury takes on a new horizon.

The rooms and suites are among the most spectacular in the city - simply because of the floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows that transform the metropolis into a constantly changing work of art. In the morning the Thames shines with the first rays of sunshine, at night a sea of lights sparkles from St Paul's to Canary Wharf. The design is elegant and Asian, but at the same time warm and modern. Particularly sought after: the Premier Rooms with a view of Tower Bridge or St Paul’s Cathedral. Even the bathrooms often offer a skyline panorama that is otherwise only seen in observation towers. This also applies to the Sky Pool and the Sky Sauna on the 52nd floor. Here you can relax with the best view.

Highest hotel bar in Western Europe

Located on the 52nd floor, Bar GŎNG is a hotspot for those who love drinks with a view. Every year for Pride Month, the bar team creates a new cocktail that is on the menu all year long. 2025 is based on gin, with fruity notes of agave, strawberry jam and a vegan foam based on methylcellulose. “We consciously wanted to develop a drink that was also available to people with special dietary needs,” says bartender Raffaele. As a garnish there is edible colorful sugar decoration with a unicorn on top - a symbolic symbol of the community. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Pride London. In addition to this pride drink, there are always seasonal specials or collaborations, for example at the “Cocktail in the City” event. The Asian roots of the Shangri-La brand also characterize the menu: many drinks rely on Japanese or Chinese ingredients. According to Raffaele, the menu changes about every six months.

A district full of contrasts

The hotel itself is located in the vibrant London Bridge Quarter - an area that effortlessly combines history, cuisine and modern culture. Just a few steps away is Borough Market, one of the city's most famous gourmet markets. Behind it, the waterfront promenade winds along the Thames, past the Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe and countless restaurants that are lively until late at night. The medieval Southwark Cathedral and The Shard Plaza, on the other hand, offer relaxing oases of calm between all the hustle and bustle.

“Luxury is an attitude”
Interview: Dirk Baumgartl

Austrian-born Kurt Macher has been running the Shangri-La London The Shard as General Manager since 2019. It is clear to him: for him, true luxury is not on the 52nd floor, but in an attitude.

Mr. Macher, how do you define luxury?

Luxury is a feeling. It happens when people feel welcome—regardless of where they come from or who they love. Of course we have spectacular views and one of the most exciting buildings in Europe. But real luxury only comes from warmth, cordiality and a personal approach. I come from a small village near Graz, and it is exactly this family feeling that I try to take with me wherever I go. We are on first-name terms in the team, we listen to each other, we design service individually. When employees feel at home, they automatically convey this to our guests.

You have lived on four continents. How does this experience influence your work?

Deep. I've worked in Canada, the US, China, Singapore, Dubai and France - and I'm an openly gay man myself. That means I know places where diversity is celebrated and places where it is less welcome. These experiences shape me. For me, diversity is not something abstract, but rather an everyday reality. That's why it's important to me that every team member - regardless of background - feels safe and respected.

What makes Shangri-La London so unique?

Of course the view. We were London's first high-rise luxury hotel and have views unlike any other. But we are constantly working on making the house more emotional: colorful afternoon teas, seasonal installations in the lobby or inspiration from British seaside resorts. I love putting a twist on classics. And then there's something else that makes our hotel special: we write personalized messages directly on the window panes - wedding greetings, names, little surprises. I had this idea on my first day. Guests love it because it's something incredibly intimate in the middle of 330 meters above sea level.

The Shangri-La is considered one of the most q***r-friendly luxury hotels in the city. What does diversity mean to you specifically?

Very much. We employ around forty nationalities and all sexual orientations, beliefs and identities. We hang the Pride flag all year round – not just in June. We support LGBTQ organizations, organize fundraisers, mix a new Pride cocktail every year and also hosted the Pride after-party for Pride London volunteers. For me, the small gestures in service also count: two men's bathrobes for gay couples, two women's slippers when two women check in, sensitive use of pronouns. My team receives regular training - both through our Shangri-La Academy and by external guest lecturers.

How q***r-friendly is the brand beyond London?

I also have the role of Lead for Innovation and Luxury Customer Experience in our 15-hotel region. This means that best practices from London flow into the entire group. In addition, I also manage the Shangri-La Paris and ensure that we are more clearly q***r-friendly there too.

And privately – what is your personal luxury?

Time. I travel a lot, both professionally and privately. My husband and I have recently been married, and as everyone knows: between meetings, trade fairs and long-distance flights, time together becomes precious. Sleeping late, having brunch, doing nothing – that’s a luxury for me. And of course, spending the rare weekends at home or visiting my family in Austria.

Finally: What is your insider tip about the hotel?

Definitely go to OMA – my favorite restaurant that feels like a modern London living room. Or Sentosa, a new, very successful Singapore-inspired concept just around the corner.

Savoy Beach Hotel & Thermal Spa
Wellness on the Adriatic

As the name suggests, the 5-star Savoy Beach Hotel in Bibione is situated right on the beach—on a stretch of the Adriatic coast characterized by fine sand and a gentle entry into the sea, making it ideal for both swimming and long walks. Bibione itself is one of those Upper Adriatic destinations that has grown thoughtfully over the decades. The townscape is defined by expansive green spaces, numerous cycling and walking paths, largely car-free zones, and a clear separation between the beach, residential, and commercial areas. Added to this is a balanced microclimate that has long made the town a haven for those seeking relaxation.

Relax & Unwind
The tranquility mentioned earlier extends into the hotel itself. Clean lines, warm colors, and high-quality materials define the interior. Expansive glass surfaces invite the Adriatic light inside and draw the eye toward the sea or the well-tended gardens, which feature a pool complex spanning approximately 1,000 square meters. A key feature of the hotel, however, is its direct connection to "Bibione Thermae." While guests at other hotels might face a trek to find relaxation, those at the Savoy Beach simply use a heated underground tunnel. You can stroll in your bathrobe directly from your room into a thermal spa world that is officially certified for its therapeutic properties. The water originates at a depth of over 500 meters and reaches the surface at a temperature of around 52 degrees Celsius. It is rich in minerals that can be particularly beneficial for respiratory conditions or joint problems. When the sea breeze feels a bit too brisk for the beach in late autumn or early spring, guests can retreat to the spacious indoor pools, which are kept at a pleasantly warm 32 to 34 degrees Celsius.

New Wellness Suites
A highlight for those who value privacy is the hotel’s newly designed wellness suites. They allow guests to relax independently of the public spa area and the schedules of other guests. Instead of sharing a sauna, you can enjoy one all to yourself, right in your own room. Alternatively, you can unwind in your private whirlpool.

Yet, the relaxation doesn't stop there. The adjoining spa center complements the thermal baths with a wide range of aesthetic and holistic treatments, including classic massages, Ayurvedic therapies, and modern beauty treatments. Guests can even use their stay for a quick health check-up, as the thermal center’s medical facility offers physiotherapy and specialized wellness programs.

The Savoy Beach remains true to its philosophy when it comes to dining, too. The restaurant focuses on Venetian cuisine featuring regional produce, fresh fish, and local vegetables. For w**e lovers, the hotel’s own "Cantina" is a must-visit; boasting a selection of over 500 labels, it offers a deep dive into the w**es of the Friuli and Veneto regions.
