Exclusivity can be a blessing when it comes to certain hotels; like a well-kept secret between close friends. Sometimes it pays to be the one who knows where all the treasure and bones are buried. And so it was I visited the 79, Younis Bashorun Street, Victoria Island address of the Scarlet Lodge. If you didn’t know what to look for you wouldn’t know it’s a hotel. Impressive in design and décor, this boutique hotel first opened in 2003.

While staying at this hotel in Victoria Island don’t be surprised if you run into one famous face or the other. Its serenity, great food, efficient staff and reasonable rates seem to be ready knowledge among a certain tier of society.

Speaking of which, the poolside lounge is perfect for viewing sports events on the big screen TVs that are usually hidden behind some very clever recesses.
