Built on the foothills of the mighty Ben Nevis or simply “The Ben”, the highest mountain in the British Isles, Inverlochy Castle sits amongst some of Scotland’s finest scenery. Inverlochy was built in 1863 by the first Lord Abinger. It is to note that the Inverlochy Castle Hotel is near the site of the original 13th century Inverlochy fortress. It is said that in September 1873, during a trip to Balmoral, Queen Victoria spent a week at Inverlochy, sketching and painting where she wrote in her diaries ‘I never saw a lovelier or more romantic spot’.
Inverlochy Castle had been a private residence for over a hundred years until 1969 when it was converted to Scotland’s finest country house hotel. Voted the number one hotel in Europe.

The Hotel Sezz is situated in the 16th so off the compressed track but right by the Seine with an astounding view of the Eiffel Tower. It’s in a calm side street opposite delightful apartments with geranium decorated balconies, extremely French. It’s boutique and designer with chic but comfortable rooms. My friend’s room had a Japanese bath (beautiful but not terribly practical) removed from the bedroom by a full length glass wall. Bathroom products are Kiels and they’re generous with them too. Being slightly off the main drag you will need to get taxis into town (10 minutes, 18 Euros at most).

What actually sets the Sezz apart are the charming people who run it. Magali was controling things when we stayed and is a total happiness. She speaks excellent English and helps with any request. Whilst there I was taken ill (entirely my own fault, I wasn’t well when I left the UK but thought it would get better). I needed a doctor to be called to the hotel and Louis the night manager was wonderful, taking care of everything calmly and efficiently. Without doubt the team at Sezz are the most charming and helpful I’ve come across, not just in Paris but in my recent experience of hotels. It’s chic, reasonably priced and with lovely staff, do try it.
