There are some places that stun you, in the best of ways. Maybe it’s because you’re greeted with song and dance. Or, maybe it’s because you see the highest sand dunes of any desert in the world. It could possibly be because of the billions of stars that light up the sky. Whatever the reason, this is a hotel that should be on the lifetime goals list. Overview andBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge is the kind of hotel that answers a…
It’s not just because Chambers is located in Tribeca that it gives off Mark Murphy’s previous restaurant, Landmark, vibes. One look at the wine list and you know that someone with serious skills is in charge. And it’s not just because the book is 80+ pages either, with all the usual suspects. This is insider territory, including those off the reservation, like Lebanon and Georgia. Atmosphere You don’t come to Chambers, an elevated wine bar in Tribeca, because you’re going…
There are wellness resorts, and then there is JOALI BEING. It’s a place so deeply intentional in its approach to restoration that it feels less like checking into a hotel and more like entering an entirely different rhythm of life. Tucked away in the Maldives’ Raa Atoll, the property is the first and only dedicated wellness island of its kind in the country. Its approach to wellbeing also feels unlike any other resort in the world. Photo courtesy of JOALI…
Sometimes you get inspired to be one with nature. You know, to unplug from city slicker life and dial it back with an ancient desert. Maybe take a gorilla trek in a remote jungle in Rwanda. Or channel your inner cave man in a lodge built into a boulder. But of course, you’re not willing to rough it, and with these hotels, you don’t have to. Because connecting to nature and staying in a luxe abode are luckily not mutually…
The wedding of the year, and certainly of the era, is right around the corner. But after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s toasts are made and the cake is cut, their honeymoon is one that is going to be on the bucket list. Photo courtesy of Milele Destination: Milele Villa Location: Serengeti, Tanzania Where vast skies and limitless plains are integrated into luxury, this resort creates a world, just for you and your group. It is named “Milele” meaning “forever”…
If you want a luxury island vacation, you have plenty of options at your disposal. But the creme de la creme for well-to-do travelers is St Barths, the Maldives, and the Seychelles. Luckily, Cheval Blanc, the luxe hospitality brand owned by none other than LVMH, has properties in all three. And, of course, they are all perfect in every aspect, but we have a preference for Cheval Blanc Seychelles. It could be the setting – the combination of a white-sand,…
Something special is going on with The Set, as it adds another “something special” property to its growing family. This one, however, is unique from its Israel and London hotels. Enter Shinta Mani Wild, set in remote paddy fields and rainforest locales. Southeast Asia’s Most Exclusive Eco Resort Travelers who want more than another city suite right now will enjoy this turn toward the wild. Cambodia’s most elusive reservation starts with a flight into Siem Reap. You’ll know you are…
It’s official: SingleThread is taking their show on the road, and they’re going international. They’re not setting up shop in just any locale either, because if you can make it in a country that has more Michelin stars than France, you know that you have serious street cred. SingleThread founders Kyle and Katina Connaughton have never been interested in the obvious move. In building Healdsburg’s three-Michelin-starred farm-to-table landmark (one of the world’s most celebrated restaurants), they did so deliberately and…
Not since Taylor + Travis or Bey and Jay has such an epic match been made as with the new Beckons hotels. The way Southern Ocean Lodge, Huka Lodge, and Tierra Patagonia are now all part of the same group feels like they were made for each other. The newly launched Beckons brand unites Baillie Lodges and Tierra Hotels under one name. It feels less corporate and more like an introduction that took its sweet time. These two were already…
The next gen has arrived in the West Village, so naturally, along with them comes the next cool places to hang. It turns out that Dandelion knows their way around a martini like an old- school pro. We’ll go as far as to say that Dandelion NYC is a standout, for all generations. Even better is that it’s open late until 2am each evening. Because somewhere in you is still that twenty-something that didn’t sleep in the city that doesn’t…
