Las Alcobas: Boutique Luxury in Mexico Cityâs Polanco Neighborhood

Hotels

Las Alcobas' stunning staircase welcomes guestsMexico City is the kind of place that can overwhelm in the best way possible. It’s sprawling, layered, buzzing with contrasts: ancient ruins beside glassy skyscrapers, markets pulsing with life, and restaurants that regularly land on the world’s best lists. Where you choose to stay in this massive capital makes all the difference. Many of the city’s marquee hotels line Paseo de la Reforma, the grand boulevard that cuts through the city’s financial and cultural heart. They’re impressive, but the neighborhood doesn’t exactly invite wandering. For that, you want Polanco. Polanco is Mexico City at…

Romantic and Quiet Kennebunkport, Maine – Where To Stay and What To Do

Hotels

Dorothy Cascerceri SimoneWalking across the bridge leading into Dock Square, memories of being in Kennebunkport with our son when he was 5 years old flood my mind - his first time trying New England clam chowder (in New England, natch), his first time on a real lobster boat. But this trip, he’s 230 miles away with his baby sister at “Camp Grandma,” and the walk over the bridge hand-in-hand with my husband is quiet and peaceful - just like our meals, pool and beach time and slow morning wake-ups. The quiet is indeed because our little kids aren’t with us…

The St. Regis Venice: A Glass Act on the Grand Canal

Hotels

Ai Weiwei's White Chandelier hangs in the Gran Salone of The St. Regis VeniceFew hotels can claim to be both muse and gallery, but The St. Regis Venice occupies that rare intersection. Rising from a cluster of noble palazzi along the Grand Canal, the property has long been tied to art history. Claude Monet once made it his Venetian base, sketching and painting from its upper floors as the sun shifted across San Giorgio Maggiore. The hotel has leaned into this heritage with more than a passing nod. Today, art is not only hung on its walls but woven into its very…
