Nobody needs an incentive to book a stay at The Maybourne Riviera. The luxury hotel that sits high on top of a cliff on the Côte d’Azur, is an attraction in and of itself. Its modernist aesthetic, rock-hewn infinity pool, and beach club should be enough to entice even the most discerning travelers. But because it’s now home to Surrenne spa (Surrenne Riviera) that spans three floors and offers high-end retreats, it’s become totally irresistible. The Maybourne Riviera Photo courtesy…
There’s a reason why travel is a lifelong love affair – and at least part of that reason is that travel always switches it up. If you thought hotels couldn’t get any better, than you haven’t seen the list for openings coming online this 2026. So, even if you’ve been everywhere, you haven’t been to these new luxury hotels that need to be on the list.

Lake Garda has always had the iconic Villa Feltrinelli that almost single-handedly put it on the map as an insider’s place. Now, a new generation of travelers is set to arrive with the opening of LXR Hotels. Suddenly, Italy’s largest lake isn’t just for the old guard anymore. Courtesy of De.tales The Overlooked Cousin For some time, Lake Como has overshadowed its quieter cousin: Lake Garda. Understandably, travelers were drawn to the celebrity hotspot (who doesn’t love the Clooneys?). But…

Rome knows how to do grand hotels, but Nobu Hotel Roma arrives with a different kind of energy. Opened in the former Grand Hotel Via Veneto, this is the brand’s first foray into Italy, and it lands on one of the city’s most storied streets. The result is a hotel that feels worldly, contemporary, and very much of-the-moment, without losing sight of where it is and what it is. Location Via Vittorio Veneto needs little introduction. Once the epicenter of…
We don’t want to spread rumors (but we do a little). Especially when they involve a luxury beloved like the Rosewood. When you’re doing something right, of course the big players will want to to have a piece. This is the latest on Marriott and Rosewood. The Email That Started It All A “leaked email” has circulated in the luxury travel sector after a FlyerTalk user uploaded a document screenshot to the forum. Some speculators have discerned the email as…
It could be the perennially perfect weather. Or it could be the way the best-of-the-best restaurants quietly migrate south for the winter, following the crowd that knows exactly where it wants to be. Maybe it’s Palm Royale (because yes, we love us some Carol Burnett) or the renewed attention on Worth Avenue, where shopping is once again a sport. Whatever the reason, Palm Beach is having its moment, again. Polished but relaxed, familiar yet newly energized, these are the places…
Some restaurants arrive and feel like they’ve been around forever. In the case of Opto NYC in the Flatiron, forever is about one year. But clearly, this year has been enough time for Opto NYC to get into its groove, and establish itself as an essential neighborhood restaurant. It’s not by luck, though, that Opto has drawn a loyal following. The owners are Executive Chef Alex Tubero (whose résumé spans Union Square Café and Amali) and Nicola Kotsoni of a…
Sometimes the restaurant gods shine down upon you when you arrive sans reservation, and you are still given a room at the inn. Or in this case, the maitre’d, Alexis, made room for us to dine at the new Or’esh — one of the most coveted tables in town. Yes, just when you thought there couldn’t be a harder reservation than Corner Store or The Eighty Six, Or’esh has arrived. Or’esh is the latest and arguably the legacy restaurant from…
Since it opened its borders to international travelers in 2019, Saudi Arabia has been at the top of everyone’s dream-destination lists. And to welcome all these brand-new travelers, luxury hotels and exceptional entertainment venues, the likes of which you’ve never seen before, are opening up all over the kingdom. Desert Rock, an opulent rock-hewn property, is one of them. The Maraya Concert Hall, the largest mirrored building in the world, is another. Since travelers to KSA (the Kingdom of Saudi…
