There are yachts that impress, and then there are yachts that endure. The kind that feel inevitable the moment you see them—as though they’ve always existed, waiting patiently for the right moment to arrive. The Riva Cento, unveiled in late 2025 with deliveries beginning in 2026, belongs firmly in the latter category. Created to mark a century of Riva craftsmanship, the Cento is not a reinvention nor an exercise in excess. It is a distillation. A quiet, confident expression o

For years, luxury travel followed a familiar formula: arrive, check in, disappear. Now, something quieter—and far more interesting—is taking its place. The most in-demand escapes right now don’t begin with a concierge desk. They begin with land. Welcome to the rise of regenerative farm stays —where luxury isn’t about excess, but about connection. And increasingly, that’s exactly the point. Travelers are moving away from passive, perfectly curated experiences and toward someth

Orient Express hasn’t even set sail yet, but that hasn’t stopped it from thinking several voyages ahead. With a new slate of itineraries unveiled for 2027, the storied name—now under the Accor umbrella—is making it clear that the future of sea travel will be as much about imagination as it is about movement.  At the center of this next chapter are two sailing yachts, Corinthian  and Olympian , designed to reintroduce romance, restraint, and true craftsmanship to the open wate

Photo Credit : The Abaco Club Some places are beautiful, and some places feel like a secret whispered just to you. The Abaco Club—a private, 500-acre retreat on Great Abaco Island—manages to be both. It’s a sanctuary where “barefoot luxury” isn’t a slogan; it’s a way of life. A place where the turquoise water looks airbrushed, the homes blend effortlessly into nature, and every person, from members to staff, welcomes you as if you’ve always belonged. Some of my days began the

FROM MONUMENTAL BRONZES TO BESPOKE WALLPAPERS AND CONTEMPORARY INSTALLATIONS EACH DELAMAR HOTEL BECOMES A LIVING GALLERY HONORING MARITIME LEGACY, CELEBRATING MODERN ARTISTRY, AND INVITING GUESTS TO DISCOVER BEAUTY IN EVERY DETAIL. Charles Mallory has an eye for art and classic cars, which he collects, and even women’s compacts, which he has branded. But what he primarily has an eye for and on is Connecticut’s Delamar Hotel Collection, which he founded in 2000, serving as own

At Claridge’s in London, Christmas doesn’t arrive quietly — it makes an entrance. This year, that entrance comes wrapped in Burberry check, crowned in gold, and tied together with hundreds of velvet bows. Creative director Daniel Lee has transformed the hotel’s legendary Christmas tree into a theatrical love letter to British heritage, sustainability, and unapologetic festive glamour — and in true Claridge’s fashion, it’s less decoration and more destination. Towering in the

courtesy The Colony Hotel If Wednesdays in Palm Beach had a dress code, it would be whisper-elegant with a dash of playful surprise. The Colony’s much-loved  Living Room Series  is back — and with it, the island’s most effortlessly stylish mid-week ritual. Every Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m., The Colony’s iconic Living Room transforms into a live salon — equal parts cocktail hour, culture club, and Palm Beach house party. Guests mingle over martinis and moody jazz while designer

If self-care had a Fifth Avenue address, it would be the Guerlain Spa at the Waldorf Astoria. Reopened within New York’s most storied hotel, it’s pure golden-hour glamour—French luxury, Manhattan polish, and the kind of hush that makes you forget there’s a city outside. Here’s the little secret everyone’s whispering about: Guerlain now offers a  day pass . For $150, you can slip into what  Elle Decor  calls “New York’s most gilded escape.” Translation: hours of marble, mirror

A whisper of old-world glamour meets fresh modern elegance in Palm Beach’s most anticipated hotel rebirth: The Vineta Hotel. Slated to open in 2025 under the prestigious Oetker Collection, this marks the brand’s first U.S. “Masterpiece Hotel,” and it’s already turning heads. Located just two blocks off Worth Avenue, Vineta will reintroduce itself with only 41 rooms (down from 57), ensuring each space feels intimate and impeccably designed. The restoration is led by Paris-base

The Cooper, situated at 176 Concord Street, is a new retreat that merges refined elegance with the city's historic charm. With a scheduled opening in 2025, this establishment is set to become a premier destination on the peninsula. The hotel will feature 191 guest rooms and suites, providing a tranquil haven with spectacular views of the Cooper River. Guests will be able to enjoy a s

WHERE OCEANFRONT LUXURY MEETS EFFORTLESS ISLAND RHYTHM, AND EVERY VIEW FEELS LIKE YOUR OWN PRIVATE WORLD. Bermuda has a way of catching you off guard, not because of its beauty (that’s a given), but because of its ease. You can leave the East Coast after breakfast and be swimming in turquoise water by lunch. With direct flights from Charlotte and Westchester, this Atlantic gem is one of the most effortless escapes from the U.S., and yet, when your driver winds along the coast

After a year of dimming the dazzle, Fifth Avenue’s most famous façade is ready to shine again — brighter, bolder, and very New York. New York is getting its sparkle back. After taking an unexpected breather in 2024, Saks Fifth Avenue is flipping the switch once again—literally. The iconic holiday light show is officially returning this November, and Fifth Avenue is already buzzing like someone plugged in Christmas early. For nearly two decades, Saks has been the city’s glitte

There are few places that capture the spirit of summer quite like The Surf Lodge. Born in 2008 on the edge of Fort Pond in Montauk, it has become more than a hotel—it’s a cultural moodboard where surf, music, and design collide. What began as a humble beachside stay has evolved into an icon of coastal cool, attracting artists, musicians, and those who understand that the best scenes are built, not branded. Its weathered decks, sunset concerts, and salt-streaked serenity still
