My Favorite Hotels in Italy (The Ones I Haven’t Told You About Yet)
As often as we write about Italy — and I know, it’s a lot, but the country just keeps on giving — I haven’t yet shared many of my favorite places with you. So let’s fix that. Of this list of half a dozen hotels, three are new-ish and buzzy places I’ve visited in the course of being a travel editor and three are under-the-radar spots I’ve discovered over deca
Stay OOTO This Fourth of July in Boston and Washington, D.C.
It's a week to set the OOTO auto-response early. Because there's nothing like a national holiday on a Friday to justify, um, taking the whole week off. And there's nothing like a national holiday to remind us how much we love America’s founding cities, Boston and Washington, D.C., and favorite hotels that make the trip worthwhile. The Dupont Circle Hotel Was
A Beautiful English Country House Hotel? Yes, Please
Picture this: You are on holiday in the English countryside, taking long walks through rolling hills behind an old estate, popping into adorable little pubs, and admiring the shape of listed gardens (whatever those are). The sun’s out — well, maybe! — and you’re appreciating the slower pace of life so much that you are considering a hound and matching rain b
A Not So Obvious Guide to Sicily, Part 2: Palermo
More from the Italian-est part of Italy. If you missed it, catch up on Our Not So Obvious Guide to Sicily, Part 1 for the best of the beach, stories for the screen and the page, and products to transport you.

I Love Las Vegas. For All the Reasons You Hate It
Fathom founder Pavia Rosati offers some reflections from a pretty glamorous suite above a glittering sin city. It was 112 degrees in Las Vegas this week, and I couldn’t have been happier to be here. I came to town for Virtuoso Travel Week , the annual fabulous confab that gathers thousands of members from the luxury travel tribe — advisors, hoteliers, journa

Swimming Pools, Political Debates, and Concerts. This German Hideaway Has It All
You might not expect, should you find yourself in a peaceful German valley at the foothills of the Alps, to lie on warmed Jurassic Stone while receiving a traditional Turkish hammam, your body bathed in a cloud of bubbles, magic hands exfoliating and massaging you into a state deep bliss. It sure was a surprise to me. Last month, I attended ILTM, the annual
Mirazur Delivers A Meal of a Lifetime
On Tuesday last week, I had the meal of a lifetime at Mirazur , in Menton, one of those postcard-perfect French towns on the Mediterranean, right across the border from Italy. If you pay attention to the world’s notable restaurants and the chefs behind them, you probably know about Mirazur (three Michelin stars, #1 on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list in
To Maldives or Not to Maldives
THE MALDIVES — Have you been to the Maldives? I hadn’t, and for years I haven’t been sure what to make of them. Are these dots of island atolls in the middle of a blue ocean even real or a fantastical tropical mirage? Is it okay to visit if they are sinking from global warming? And what is there to do other than chill out in an overwater bungalow at a fancy
The Hottest Reservation on the Amalfi Coast This Summer
A long-awaited opening from the family behind Le Sirenuse in Positano brings effortless glamour to Nerano — without disturbing the quiet magic that has made this corner of the Amalfi Coast beloved for generations.
