Sustainable London luxury on the Thames
London From The Air was shot entirely with a GoPro Hero 3 Black and a DJI
Phantom 2. Set within the rapidly gentrifying Battersea neighborhood, it is a
symbol of the future of London's south bank. Once part of the bustling
industrial heartland of the British Empire, the area declined rapidly after
Second World War devastation caused http://www.balenciagatop.com/
by the blitz. The 65room Rafayel on the Left Bank and the 25 luxury
Falcon Wharf apartments share the same ultra modern structure. Comprising the
lower floors of the building, the Hotel Rafayel offers all the amenities and
convenience a traveler expects from five star accommodations and beautiful river
views through the floor to ceiling windows.
By European standards, the rooms are spacious ranging from 220 to 700 square
feet. Ultra soft Egyptian linens cover the incomparably comfortable mattresses
and allergenfree bedding is readily available on request. The wide screen wall
mounted television serves as the room's central panel for all lighting, climate
and entertainment controls. A fully stocked mini bar, coffee and tea service is
discreetly hidden balenciaga
town behind handsome mahogany doors as is the sizable closet.
The bathrooms are balenciaga
first among the largest of their kind this travel journalist has
experienced. Premium fixtures by Roca gleam in contrast to the dark hues of
Muarno glass tiled walls. A huge mirror spans the wall, organic and allnatural
toiletries are provided and the shower allows for multiple water options.
Yet Mr. Latif was not satisfied simply constructing a handsome, modern hotel.
He has a profound respect for the environment and the Hotel Rafayel on the Left
Bank has garnered praise for its attention to environmental details. Components
for the actual building's construction from the glass balenciaga
pompon bag walls, the mahogany paneling, the Hypnos beds to the
glassware are all made from recycled materials. A stateoftheart ventilation
system electronically balances the heating and cooling needs of the structure.
Rainwater for plant irrigation is captured from the hotel's roof and terraces.
LED lighting is used throughout the hotel. Digital newspapers are available on
demand and the Rafayel uses no plastic containers whatsoever.
The Banyan on the Thames restaurant has panoramic river views, follows the
same fairtrade and sustainable philosophy of the hotel, and offers an eclectic

purses on sale menu befitting its international clientele. Although many
restaurants with menus ranging from Thai, Chinese, Indian, English and
Mediterranean fusion can become a buffet of mediocrity, in the hands of the
Rafayel's talented kitchen staff it creates the reason why a guest would want to
make the Banyan their regular dining venue. Staying true to the signature
ingredients, herbs and spices of each cuisine, the presentations are imaginative
and elegant.
A composed salad of crabmeat, mango, onion and cucumber paired with king
prawns and a mango coriander dressing made a refreshing first course for brunch.

handbag Tilapia fish cakes, spiced with an Indian blend and paired with
lemongrass chili jam and a tossed salad were so satisfying they were ordered on
two occasions as a starter.
Fresh parpardelle in a creamy wild mushroom sauce was an earthy and flavorful
pasta lunch entree. Baked honey glazed sea bream with enoki mushrooms and
braised endive was moist with a crispy skin. Deeply flavored slowly claypot
baked lamb in a sauce redolent of Indian herbs, tomatoes and chili paired well
with warm naan bread.
The Banyan's fusion of English and Indian cuisines shined in their version of
classic fish and chips. Succulent haddock fillets were fried in a lime and
coriander tempura batter and served with chili salt chips. From the dessert
menu, the Kheer brulee was a brilliant fusion of a traditional Indian rice
pudding and French brulee technique. A select wine list representing Europe's
finest vineyards included excellent vintages from Argentina and Australia, balenciaga city
bag and the bar mixed some of the best cocktails in London, including a
truly dry Manhattan.
The balenciaga
velo handbag comfort of the rooms, the culinary excellence of the Banyan
on the Thames restaurant and the location on the Thames River are reason enough
to chose the Hotel Rafayel on the Left Bank. The fact that it's the most
affordable five star hotel in London simply makes the decision easier. The
reality that its small carbon footprint is assisting the environment only adds
to the Rafayel's 21st century charm.
