The Pink House *loves* the unabashed luxury of a hotel suite, so we decided to round-up a few of our favourites, looking at exactly what makes them so fabulous. Now you can feel like champagne room service is just a phone call away (even if the reality is more like a mug of Earl Grey)…

#PinkPilgrimage to California

June 26, 2019

You might have noticed from the Pink House Instagram that the list of pink places on our bucket list (it’s pronounced ‘bouquet list’, of course) is growing ridiculously long. So in the interest of getting organised, we’ve decided to create pink travel guides for our favourite places. They’re like regular travel guides, but read through rose-tinted glasses…

In our new travel feature ‘Extra Extra!’ (in which you can indeed read all about it), we’re travelling the world looking for the most out-there hotels; the ones that really push the boundaries of design, style and taste.  Up first, it’s Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve.

#PinkPilgrimage: The Wilderness Reserve's Farmhouse (and its gloriously pink history)

April 7, 2019

One of the oldest buildings on beautifully restored 19th century manor estate The Wilderness Reserve is the Suffolk Farmhouse, designed with pink hues throughout, and home to quite possibly the most beautiful bathroom we’ve ever seen. As part of The Pink House’s ongoing #pinkpilgrimage we caught up with The Farmhouse’s interiors team to find out more…

November 1, 2016

Martinhal is a great relaxing family holiday. Maybe not as great as the pre-kids days where the relaxing came without the shouting, but hey, I chose to create life, and now I have to live with it. Even on holiday.

The Pink House Hotel Style Awards

Cupcakes are for girls - right?

August 2, 2016

When I pictured having a daughter, I imagined our girls’ days out, bonding over pink, cupcakes-and-sprinkles afternoon teas in fancy hotels. It was fantasies like these that meant, when I had my 20-week scan and discovered I was having a second boy, I cried for a week.

"Fabulous family living!"

Emily Murray founder of The Pink House Living

"Hello! I’m Emily Murray, founder and editor of The Pink House. I’m a lifestyle journalist who has written and edited for loads of different publications, including Stylist, The Guardian, Grazia, Cosmopolitan, Conde Nast Traveller, Brides, and Mother & Baby. Here I am in the bricks-and-mortar Pink House in South East London, where I live with the Pink House Husband (PHH) and our two small, semi-feral boys. Our fabulous Christopher Farr sofa is covered in marker pen and chocolate, and the Eames rocker has a few suspicious stains. Come in and make yourself at home. No need to take your shoes off."
