Fashion Designers With Restaurants

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.

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,…

Tea at The Regent Hong Kong

Atmosphere When my friends told me that we were going to The Regent Hong Kong and not the Rosewood, Peninsula or Mandarin Oriental, I have to say that I was disappointed. There was a method to the madness however, and as a visitor you should never question the local experts. This was definitely the case in the choice of afternoon tea at The Regent. The Regent is the only tea out of the options above that has a full-on view…
