My darlings, MrsBuendia here…
As you can imagine, I simply adore the festive season. A perfect excuse to showcase my sequin gowns and dance until dawn every day of December (not that I need a reason my loves!).
Allow me to create a charming Christmas cocoon for you my elegant little elves, complete with bohemian abundance, 360-degree views of the Burj Khalifa lit uplike a giant tree andour own exuberant urban jungle decked in vintage decorations passed on from my dear father when I inherited Hotel Cartagena in the 1950s.
Of course, I’ll have the fabulous DJ Kio play my favourite festive tunes throughout December,leading up to our Christmas Day and New Years Eve parties. I do not like to brag as you know but after you’ve seen my girls dazzling dancing show and sampled our Latin take on ‘all the trimmings’ my darlings, normal life is going to seem pretty hum drum.
This month’s festivities are laid out in lavish detail below my loves and I will be waiting for you, bright red lipstick and Santa hat on, to join me in celebrating the end of 2020 in style.
