A traditional afternoon tea service can be enjoyed in The Bleu Room, where décor embraces only shades of blue, from custom brocades to other details. Specialty tea blends are served in hand-painted porcelain teapots. Not far away, marble, brass and crystal define the Lobby Bar in its new space.

For craft cocktails, dinner and cabaret, Nightcap is the place to be, while The Smoking Lounge invites guests to unwind beneath the Violet Mystique Chandelier designed by renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. For treats, guests can enjoy the retro 1950s design and frozen classics of PJ’s Ice Cream Parlor. Chateau stays also include options to visit the resort’s art studios.

“As we grow and expand Nemacolin, we are consistently inspired to elevate our accommodations and guest offerings,” said Maggie Hardy, owner and CEO. “Our commitment to our guests and members is unwavering, and this is best exhibited through the constant reimagination of the property. The Chateau was our second accommodation and is a known favorite among Nemacolin patrons and at the heart of all who experience it. For us to provide the unparalleled and luxurious service we are known for, it was imperative we reimagine the hotel’s interiors to reflect modern finishes that convey the real-life magic and whimsy we are known for.”

Escape to Tahiti for a Captivating Island-Hopping Cruise

The 118 islands of French Polynesia reveal themselves layer by fascinating layer, with the spirit of mana (vital force) linking them all the way from Tahiti to the remote reaches of the Marquesas. This is part of the world best savored on a journey that dives as deep into culture as natural beauty, both above and below the water’s surface. A cruise makes it easy to cover a lot of ground while unpacking just once (and sneaking in some work done in comfort, too, during at-sea days). And cruising offers particular appeal within this semi-autonomous French territory sprawling across nearly 2 million square miles of ocean and covering five archipelagos.

Once an isolated outpost, the Dominican Republic now sits at a global crossroads, easily accessible from North and South America and from Europe.

The Shelbourne Review

Facing the vast St. Stephen’s Green in the heart of Dublin sits the iconic and historic The Shelbourne. Few hotels master the perfect blend of history and luxury, but The Shelbourne gets it right. The site of the signing of the Irish Constitution in 1922 granting the Republic of Ireland its freedom from England, The Shelbourne has hosted its fair share of notable figures, from Michael Collins to Princess Grace Kelly to John Ford, the latter of which was the name of my suite.
