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.
AndBeyond AndBeyond is expanding in East Africa with a new lodge in Kenya opening in July 2026. The company has secured a long-term lease for an Exclusive Tourism Concession over Suyian Conservancy, partnering with Space for Giants. This agreement provides access to over 44,000 acres of wilderness in north-western Laikipia. AndBeyond Suyian Lodge will offer 14 suites, including a family suite and a triple suite, each with a private pool and both indoor and outdoor showers. Guests can explore the conservancy through various safari options and engage in local tribe interactions and conservation activities.
The Corinthia Maldives Corinthia Maldives offers an exquisite blend of luxury and natural beauty, set against the stunning backdrop of pristine white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters.

4 days in London - things to do - itinerary
London is one of the world’s most dynamic and cosmopolitan cities, yet it remains a place of pageantry and tradition. Get a taste of that tradition as you are escorted through the city by a member of our team. You will get an overview tour of London's most iconic royal sites, hop aboard the London Eye for a bird's-eye view of the city and spend half a day visiting Windsor Castle.
DAY 1 : LONDON
You will be welcomed at Heathrow airport by a member of our team as you exit customs, and will transfer to your hotel, with assistance during check-in.
DAY 2 : LONDON
Our guide help you find your bearings with a half-day orientation tour of London. Drive past sites such as the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, the Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey and Trafalgar Square. Get a spectacular panorama of the city on the London Eye, the world's largest cantilevered observation wheel, located on the South Bank of the Thames River.
DAY 3 : WINDSOR DAY TRIP
Travel west out of London with your guide and private vehicle to visit Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. With a history spanning nearly 1,000 years, it was the official residence of Queen Elizabeth II and her preferred weekend home. Subject to opening restrictions, you may see the State Apartments, St. George's Chapel and Queen Mary's Dolls' House. The castle ramparts offer excellent views of Eton College.
DAY 4 : LONDON
Today is at your leisure, but here are things we would suggest you do:
Tate Modern
London’s art scene was revolutionised by the opening of Tate Modern in 2000, housed within the vast former Bankside Power Station. After a visit, I like to take the 15-minute trip along the Thames aboard the Tate Boat to Tate Britain, London’s principal collection of British art, which contains major works by Turner, Constable and Gainsborough, as well as those by contemporary masters such as Henry Moore and Francis Bacon.
Floris
One of our favorite London shops is Floris, a bespoke perfume store and an invaluable source of gifts for women. Sometimes I also indulge in the "No. 89" aftershave, the preferred fragrance of James Bond.
Daunt Books
London’s independent bookshops have found life difficult in the age of Amazon. Fortunately, many remain in business, though doubtless with their profit margins reduced.
Covent Garden
Covent Garden is in the West End, London’s main theatre and entertainment area. Tourists fill its elegant, car-free Piazza, home to fashion stores, crafts at the Apple Market and the Royal Opera House. Street entertainers perform by 17th-century St. Paul’s Church, and the London Transport Museum houses vintage vehicles.
DAY 5 : DEPART LONDON
Meet your driver and guide and transfer in the comfort of your private luxury vehicle to Heathrow airport, where you will be assisted with check-in.
You are our Priority
We never just ask "Where?" or "When?" - we will be determined to understand the experience you desire and curate that itinerary just for You.
Through our extensive network, we are able to offer many additional benefits, such as room upgrades, late check out, unique venues and personalised itineraries.

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
