We’re getting closer than ever to the premiere of White Lotus season three, so let’s talk about what you need to know and who’s new on the star-studded cast list. Take notes for your next trip because the hotels are as luxurious as always. Past Seasons The HBO series White…
If there’s one destination that may have had more billionaires pass through this year than St. Tropez, it may be India. Something about a $500-million-dollar wedding of one of the wealthiest families in the world was the draw. Notwithstanding those lavish festivities, India is a bucket-list destination itself, with some of the most lavish hotels in the world. And the best part is you don’t need to be a maharaja to stay – just darn close. Hotel: Ananda In The…
The Hotel: Aman Aman Resorts can be found all over the world: in Europe, North Africa, Asia, and the Americas. They are havens of serenity and relaxation with a heavy emphasis on self-care. The food is always fresh, nourishing and directly inspired by each resort’s location. When you think of Aman, the word “wellness” automatically comes to mind. The spa alone is a reason to travel. The Products Sometimes you enjoy a hotel spa so much that you wish you could…
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. Some destinations have it going on all-year-round, or at minimum, after Leo has left the dance floor, and Jeff’s boat has sailed off into the sunset beyond the borders of the Med. For those who don’t need to be in the mix when every single room is sold out, the off-season may just be the new in-season. …
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…
It used to be that Aman was the only real luxury hotel in town, but now the Six Senses Kyoto has arrived. By no means are we saying you need to choose one or the other, but instead this may be a situation of “in addition to”. 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…
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,…
Something we never thought we would recommend is a river cruise, but it goes to show, never say never. We’re not talking about a stale river cruise either. Instead, think all you can drink Champagne on Belmond and Dior spa on water. Here are the boats that you want to cruise in around the world. If you’ve found yourself having FOMO as the Alain Ducasse boat cruises by you on the Seine at night, you’re not the only one. It’s…
Destination: Seoul Korea The Spot: Woo Sum, Edition Denmark, Apgujeong Neighborhood Timothée Chalamet arrived in Seoul to promote Dune 2 in late February. Fans greeted the young actor immediately, like most upcoming superstars. Despite the crowds of admirers, the celeb hit a few local spots in his free time. Up first is Woo Sum, a restaurant specializing in Hanwoo beef – a rare meat from cattle exclusively bred in Korea. We’re talking grade-A cuts of premium beef served Korean BBQ…
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…
