Louis Vuitton likes to keep us on our toes. When we least expect it, the brand comes up with its first-ever makeup line, opens up cafés and restaurants, and launches an upscale airport lounge. And while the French luxury fashion house’s foray into the world of cosmetics is aligned with its ethos, its expansion into the world of hospitality is a little more surprising. So much so, that when a few years ago, the rumor spread about a potential Louis…

In 2025, NYC’s most compelling openings led with what was on the plate as their foundation of greatness. On top of that, they hit the right notes on the decor of the room, effortless service and a crowd…
What would we do without a gaggle of bikini-clad supermodels, or a billionaire’s daughter’s epic Lake Como wedding? Well, the answer is that life would be a whole lot less interesting. Here’s to the celebs who made our 2025 all the more entertaining. Tom Brady (and his son Benjamin) Destination in 2025: St. Tropez, France Where they stayed: Hôtel Byblos, Saint‑Tropez Tom Brady made headlines in 2025 when he touched down in St. Tropez with his son Benjamin for a…
There’s an insider secret that one of the best holiday spots is Madrid. Festive ambiance, great food and the characteristic Madrileños are three of many reasons to be seen there in the New Year. Beyond that, it’s a city celebrating life and a tumultuous history of indelible influences. After the Moors came the French It took Napoleon’s brother, Joseph Bonaparte, to re-imagine what Madrid could be.

We get it – your plate is full, and you may think that throwing money at the problem (aka lack of New Years’ plans) is the only solution. You’re not entirely incorrect, as sometimes that’s what it takes to make Aspen or St. Barths happen. But, if you’re willing to venture further afield (rather than duplicating the Upper East Side on a tropical isle or ski slope), the world is still your oyster. This is where you can venture out…

There is another wellness concept contribution to the multi-trillion-dollar industry. And while this one is starting in West Palm with its holistic health approach, our bet is that expansion is in the works. This is South Florida’s first day‑to‑night social wellness club. About Higher Order Higher Order in Palm Beach is all about clinical health, movement, and community connection. The social club opened in the fall 2025 in Flamingo Park, co‑founded by Ryan and Brittany Brown. Palm Beach has always…
Cape Cadogan is a picture-perfect boutique hotel. The 19th-century Cape Town property is stylish, unique, and intimate – the winning trifecta. But don’t confuse ‘boutique’ with ‘petite’. Yes, the hotel has only 29 rooms and suites, but these accommodations are far from mini. In fact, its most recently renovated suites, the Stable Suites are 646 square feet. That’s room enough to host a not-so-small soiree. But size isn’t everything, and the Stable Suites have a lot more to offer. What…
There’s no denying it: Rockefeller Center is the most iconic Christmas destination in the US. Every year since 1933, a gigantic Christmas tree is erected on Rockefeller Plaza and lit up in a grand ceremony. But the Rockefeller Center holiday magic isn’t just about the tree, its 900-pound Swarovski topping star, and its tens of thousands of LED lights. It’s also about the temporary ice rink. Since its creation in 1936, skating on the Rockefeller rink has become a holiday…
