Audemars Piguet Café Singapore

It’s official; luxury watches are now in the restaurant biz. Audemars Piguet opened their first café in Singapore. Although, we must say, “café” hardly does it justice.

So, for their latest venture, Audemars Piguet has traded watch winders for whisks, serving up their Swiss roots with a side of sizzling Singaporean flair.

Passerine NYC

We know there are big names in the Indian food space, but one which isn’t all the buzz may just be the top of them all. Passerine is the restaurant to know now. Especially, because it’s the latest venture from Chef Chetan Shetty, who spent 10 years at Indian Accent.

Christo Returns to NYC

You can consider yourself an OG New Yorker if you remember Christo’s orange gates, which took over Central Park. Well, twenty years later, he’s making his mark again.

What Once Was While New York City had its fair share of financial obstacles and strife in the 1930s, architectural marvels were also on the rise, and one such monument made a lasting impression—the Waldorf Astoria. The Park Avenue Hotel opened in 1931…

Top Women-Owned Hotels in the World

In honor of International Women’s Day, we thought it would be cool to see which hotels were owned by women around the world. And it turns out, the list happened to include some of the top hotels – though it’s not too surprising. Women prove again and again that when they have a seat at the leadership table, it’s more than just 1,000-count Egyptian thread-count sheets that result.
