Hotel openings
New hotels are continuously emerging around the globe, catering to diverse traveller preferences. Here are some openings that I'm excited about.
The Eve Hotel Sydney Designed as a dream collaboration between SJB’s Adam Haddow, 360 Degrees’ Daniel Baffsky and Interior Architect George Levissianis, the hotel is at once a transporting oasis and a delightfully Sydney-centric celebration of place. Soft, organic curves and natural materials set the scene – with balconies offering views across the rooftops of Redfern and Surry Hills, and carefully restored plants bringing the natural environment into the city’s urban heartland. Art from Sydney artist Louise Olsen features throughout, with one spectacular piece taking over the entire ceiling of the hotel’s lobby bar, Bar Julius.
Aman Tokyo, Japan
With its opening slated for late 2025, Aman Tokyo will introduce a unique blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern luxury. Located in a sleek skyscraper, this hotel will feature luxurious accommodations, an extensive wellness program, and unparalleled views of the city from its serene gardens and indoor pool.
Mandarin Oriental, Lake Como, Italy
Set to debut in mid-2025, the Mandarin Oriental at Lake Como will blend luxurious modern amenities with the historic charm of the region. The hotel will feature lavish suites, an exquisite spa, and gastronomic experiences that highlight local Italian cuisine amidst breathtaking views of the lake and mountains.
The Edition Doha, Qatar
Scheduled to open in early 2025, The Edition Doha will blend contemporary design with Qatari culture. This waterfront property will feature stunning views of the Arabian Gulf, multiple dining options including a world-class restaurant, and a lavish spa, making it a prime destination for luxury traveller’s.

6. Taste the local cuisine 🥘
Thinking of Mykonos for a holiday
Out of the Cyclades, the islands that encircle the sacred island of Delos, Mykonos is perhaps the most famous, renowned for its rolling hills, white beaches and the high-rolling international crowd that vacations there. While visitors who travel to Mykonos are sure to admire the island’s cubist Cycladic architecture – white country chapels dot its hills, creating a scenic vista – Mykonos also provides a good jumping off point for archaeological day trips to nearby islands, most notably Delos.
Things to see
• Lounging on Agios Sostis Beach
• Wandering through “Little Venice,” Mykonos Town’s historic 18th-century district
• Taking pictures of the island’s famous windmills
• Partaking in some of the island’s famous nightlife
We recommend The Grace Mykonos Hotel

Italy's best kept secret, Ischia Island
The beautiful island of Ischia is just a boat ride from Naples. Shrouded in the shadow of neighbouring Capri is the picture of Italian paradise.
Ischia is a volcanic island in the Gulf of Naples, Italy. It's known for its mineral-rich thermal waters. Beautiful hot springs bubble up at Maronti Beach, in the south. East, Roman remains lie beneath the sea floor at Cartaromana Beach. The beach has views of the stunning medieval Aragonese Castle, linked to Ischia by a stone bridge. Nearby, 18th-century Palazzo dell’Orologio houses the Sea Museum, devoted to Ischia’s fishing tradition.
Where to stay?
We highly recommend the 5 star L'Albergo della Regina Isabella Resort and Health Spa located seaside village of Lacco Ameno, overlooking the Bay of Naples and picturesque Piazza Santa Restituta.
With amazing service, easy access to the beach and one of Italy’s largest and most renowned spas keep repeat guests coming back again and again.
