Best Hammams

There are two types of showers everyone experiences. There’s the quick ‘I’m clean, what’s next on the agenda?’ type of shower, and there’s the long shower. This one is a more of a deliberate ritual, with grooming, soaking, and exfoliating—the kind that makes you feel reborn. Or, at the very least, like you have it all together. Now, imagine that shower, but on steroids: complemented by good steam, a renowned therapist, and lavish spa products. That is the experience of…

The Most Beautiful Hotels in India

If there’s one destination that may have had more billionaires pass through this year than St. Tropez, it may be India.

Notwithstanding those lavish festivities, India is a bucket-list destination itself, with some of the most lavish hotels in the world.

Off-Season Travel

There’s something to be said for going to a hot-spot when it’s a cool spot. ‘Cool,’ being the operative term to take away.

Fashion Designer: LVMH Restaurant: Chez L’Ami Louis Location: Paris If you already think Chez L’Ami Louis has a starlit reputation, we’re willing to bet LVMH’s recent ownership won’t make snagging a reservation any easier. The twelve tables, plus its A-list crowd, make it a spot hard to come by. The type of fame doesn’t matter; the Parisian bistro attracts politicians like Bill Clinton and artists like Rosalia and Johnny Depp. What makes it so enticing? First, it’s a classic, founded…

Six Senses Kyoto

It used to be that Aman was the only real luxury hotel in town, but now the Six Senses Kyoto has arrived.

This spring, Six Senses Kyoto placed Six Senses in yet another iconic urban area—its first-ever Japan location. Like the culture it reflects, the hotel is all about the details. This is a first…

Janu Tokyo

Aman is known for the peace and often solitude in their hotels which started in remote parts of the world. Over the past three decades, Aman’s serene, minimalist and modern design have created a cult of Aman Junkies. Where’s there’s an Aman, as a Junkie myself, I will go. I’ve been to 17 of the 35 hotels around the world, and every experience is unique yet exquisite and peaceful. But as the market has evolved since Aman entered in 1988,…
