Kalesma Mykonos
First, let me frame that there’s nothing wrong with bottle service by noon, DJs until dawn, and if you measure a good time in beach clubs and prime ressies at the coolest restaurants in town. At various stages in my life, I have been that person dancing on the table at Nammos. At that stage in life, the accommodations in…

Louis Vuitton Tea Time in Paris
One of the best parts of Britain’s gastronomic culture is afternoon tea. In fact, having a pot of Darjeeling along with some mini cucumber sandwiches at The Clermont or Claridge’s is a rite of passage for any luxury traveler in London. But afternoon tea isn’t limited to Albion any longer. The concept has successfully exported to France’s chicest venue: the…

Soho Farmhouse Hudson Valley Is On Its Way
There are three Soho Houses in New York City. There’s Ludlow House in the Lower East Side, DUMBO House in DUMBO, of course, and the iconic Soho House New York on Ninth Avenue. But that’s not enough for New Yorkers. When the chaos of urban life becomes a little too much, they need a proper place to retreat. And what…

Emirates Wolgan Valley Reopens
Australia just wasn’t the same without Wolgan Valley, one of the top hotels in the country. But then Mother Nature decided (in the form of a landslide) that Emirates’ luxury abode was not meant to be. So what did Emirates do over the past 3 years? They put $50 mil into the hotel, and now it’s reopened as a Ritz…

Country Estates: The Not-So-Simple Country Living
There’s something to be said for the simple life in the countryside. But you’re not simple, so upgrading to an estate is more your speed. Who doesn’t want their Great Gatsby moment?

Odo NYC
One of the many reason that New York has such a good restaurant scene is because sometimes, like in the case of Odo NYC, there is more than meets the eye. Like, when you tuck into a non-descript bar for a drink and realize the back room has a Michelin-starred Kaiseki. What makes Odo so special, though, is the democracy…

Mother’s Day Brunch
We know we said that only grand gestures will do this Mother’s Day, but there is nothing grander than giving Mom the gift of your time. And because you’re such a good multi- tasker, it just makes sense to spend that time breaking bread (or a tin of caviar) to celebrate Mom at these top NYC spots. Courtesy of The…

Six Senses Krabey Island
There are beach vacations. And then there’s boarding a speedboat and disappearing into the Gulf of Thailand for 15 minutes en route to your own 30-acre island. Six Senses Krabey Island sits five kilometers off Cambodia’s southern coast, just beyond Ream National Park. It’s close enough to Sihanouk International Airport that you’re poolside before you know it. And Phnom Penh…

Mother’s Day Experiences at The Plaza
Mom deserves the best this Mother’s Day — no exaggeration required. She’s been everything from CEO to chef, chauffeur, coach, and tutor, often all before noon. While she might say she just wants a little peace and quiet, a more realistic (and rewarding) plan is in order. This year, treat her to something truly special: a refined escape at The…

Where Cindy Crawford And Kaia Gerber Travel Together
“Genetically blessed” doesn’t begin to describe the fortune of Kaia Gerber, who is the carbon copy of her mom, Cindy, otherwise known as the OG supermodel. Essentially, you’ve won the lottery when your Mom is both beautiful and was an engineering major in college. And, of course, like every A-list mother-daughter duo, these two have traveled the world.

Perfection is not a designation we award lightly, but we’re ready to ordain this estate on 66 private acres deep in Provence pretty darned close. The quintessential French country home, at a modest 13,000 square feet, is the kind of place that inspires you to make a cassoulet and live your best Provençal life. What was originally a pear farm,…

Mother by Nature
I feel lucky that we’ve dedicated The Weekly to Mother’s Day (and the double header of my Mom’s birthday), for the past six years.

Vacations With Mom
Some say it with flowers. Then, there are those who say it with chocolate. That’s all nice, and of course, Mom doesn’t expect anything. In fact, she genuinely cherishes every gift you give, even that clock you made in woodshop in junior high. But you know Mom didn’t raise you to be run-of-the mill in anything, and that includes gift-giving.…

Most Luxurious Places for Stem Cell Therapy
Forget Botox. Stem cell rejuvenation is where it’s at nowadays, because beauty is literally more than skin-deep. The conversation around longevity has shifted considerably in recent years. Where anti-aging once meant topical creams and cosmetic procedures, the frontier has moved inward — to the cellular level. Stem cell rejuvenation is at the center of that shift. How Does Stem Cell…
