The Luxury of Going Analogue

Day to Day

Discover how simple analogue pleasures invite calm, reflection and a welcome pause from screens...

In a world of social media and endless news, we are increasingly eager to set down our phones and step away from screens, if only for a few moments of calm. There is something deeply comforting about slipping back into the slower rhythms of the analogue world. Join us as we invite presence and a sense of ease that technology so rarely offers.

Books

Nothing compares to the pleasure of a real book held in your hands. We love curling up with a warm beverage and losing ourselves in a good story. Books encourage us to slow down and invite quiet reflection, whether offering escapism or inspiration.

Newspapers

The thin, rustling pages of a newspaper feel wonderfully grounding. Instead of endless doom scrolling, a newspaper offers a finite and thoughtful way to catch up on the world. You read, you reflect and then you fold it away and move on with your day.

Radio

Each of our guest rooms features a radio, allowing you to tune into your favourite FM or digital station. There is something deeply comforting about a live voice or melody travelling through the air. From evening stories to the latest pop hit, radio connects us in a beautifully human way.

Records

We adore the ritual of playing records. Flipping through sleeves, choosing a vinyl and gently setting the needle is a timeless pleasure. A room filled with generous armchairs and a record player in the corner naturally invites gathering, contemplation and relaxation.

Clocks

In 2026, we no longer want to reach for our phones simply to check the time. Time passes regardless, so why not make it beautiful? Our collaboration with Humans Since 1984 resulted in the ClockClock 24, an artful and masterful way to tell the time without screens.

The analogue world reminds us to savour and to connect. These thoughtful details create spaces that feel human, comforting and quietly joyful, proving that sometimes the simplest pleasures are the most luxurious of all.
