Underwater Dinner at Aquarelle

Often, you’ll find yourself hastily pushed out of an establishment for the next reservation or given last calls for your kitchen order by 9pm. But what if you’re seeking the vibrant buzz of old-school New York — the kind of place Carrie Bradshaw might have frequented for a spontaneous late night? This summer, the newly opened Aquarelle restaurant offers the opportunity to…

Orient Express Corinthian

The name Orient-Express conjures up images of a gorgeous, early-19th-century blue train traveling around Europe in extreme luxury. While the vision is accurate (hello, La Dolce Vita Express), it’s also incomplete. Orient Express is a travel brand that deals in much more than fancy trains. As of April 2025, Orient Express operates a very elegant hotel in the historic center of Rome: La Minerva. Before the end of the year, it will run its second hotel, Palazzo Donà Giovannelli in…

Forte dei Marmi

If Capri is the show-off and Portofino is the cultured heir, Forte dei Marmi is the quieter and stylish cousin that flies under the radar. Situated between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apuan Alps, this lowkey Tuscan beach town lures Italy’s beau monde, as it has for decades. The Vibe Forte is, in a word, civilized. The streets are clean. The beaches are private, and the best of them—Bagno Piero, Bagno Annetta, and Taiga—run like members-only clubs (which they often…

El Palace Barcelona

If you favor Ritz properties wherever you travel, you have great taste. But you might be disappointed to hear that there is no Ritz hotel in Barcelona. Or is there?
