Driftwood was opened by Paul and Fiona Robinson 10 years ago. Neither were hoteliers but Fiona's skills as an interior designer and Paul's as a finance director, plus their hands-on approach and ease with guests, have created a highly successful, and delightful, Cornish hotel, which is stylish and seaside fresh but devoid of pretension
Millionaire beach Malibu |
In April I will be joining another good friend also form the Lanesborough days in California, Malibu beach.
Karl was approached by a long standing client of the Lanesborough to become the President of Hospitality for a new venture that will consist of a wonderful Italian restaurant on Millionaires beach; it will be called Nikita Malibu with other Nikita's planned in other amazing cities.
Opening in the middle of May - so lots to do.
