Kate Moss

OT Which is your favourite hotel in the world and why

Kate Moss There are several amazing places that I have stayed at, but one place that has always stayed with me is a secret haven in North Goa called Siolim House (108 per night for Standard Suite, 160 for Macao Suite, taxes included siolimhouse.com). Not many people know about it and even I, after being here a couple of times, lose all sense of GPS and direction, and always have to request for someone to pick me up from the airport.

OTWhat is so special about it

Kate MossSiolim House is a restored mansion built in a very art deco style. There is a colonial charm in how it is laid out. It is completely unlike a hoteland more of a heritage house. I was told that the scale was not compromised in the houses restoration. And I saw this was true because the rooms and their en-suite bathrooms are huge. You could actually host a mini ball in the shower area of the bathroom of Macaothe suite where I stayed. The four-poster beds look stunning against the background of handmade floor tiles. Its just so exotic. There are several cozy nooks where you can simply lounge. The tropical pool is just out of the Garden of Eden. You can get an idea of how laid back and un-touristy it is by the fact that they have no reception desk or concierge And I say that as a compliment.

OTWhat about the facilities The food Why would you like to recommend Siolim House

Kate MossI wouldnt (laughs) If it is recommended, the whole novelty of its seclusion will disappear. But then, this place is just so magical that this is bound to happen anyway.
