The classic Baltic seacoast on the German island of Usedom has long been a destination for health-seekers wishing to “take the waters” (spa-speak for soaking). Waiting along the shoreline, small, historic bathing cabins were carried into the salt water by seaside attendants who hoisted them — and their occupant — by means of poles mounted along the sides. The cabins were repeatedly dipped into the water, allowing the person seated within to reap the health benefits of saltwater bathing without being immodestly exposed to others. Relive the island’s glory days in modern sophistication at Steigenberger Grandhotel and Spa, a collection of seven grand buildings with 169 rooms, suites and studios. The hotel can be found in the resort village of Heringsdorf, one of the Baltic Region’s traditional spa destinations, noteworthy for its numerous Baltic Imperial architectural gems. Complimentary WiFi, pet-friendly rooms, meeting space and 24-hour room service are among the standard amenities. Enjoy gourmet fare at Restaurant Lilienthal Usedom or the Seaside Restaurant; or classic local dishes in the Wine Salon. At the Baltic Sea Grand Spa Usedom, water is the theme. There’s a heated indoor pool, steam bath, Finnish sauna and a wide selection of massages and wellness therapies including the Sea of Youth cell cure facial treatment, a water float-couch and Warm Wave of the Sea body treatment. Outside, a 7.5-mile-long seaside promenade is perfect for strolling or cycling.

Feb 19, 2025KŌAST Review
In Los Angeles, word spreads quickly when a bonafide “A-list” chef opens a new restaurant, complete with a painstakingly crafted menu and ambiance that whispers (not shouts) “exclusive.” This is certainly the case with the warmly lit, 60-seat KŌAST Melrose, packed every night since its Jan. 29 opening. While the dining experience involves painstakingly prepared dishes almost too pretty to tear into, the management and staff keep things grounded to ensure it shines as a “neighborhood spot” more about the food than whomever comes in to enjoy it.

Feb 18, 2025Vancouver Entices Meeting-Goers with Its Stunning Beauty and Sustainability
When I first visited Vancouver, I was headed to the city for a work event. I anticipated a hectic few days of business travel, but what I didn’t expect was the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the city. From there, I ventured out into the wilds of Canada’s Pacific Coast with a trip to Vancouver Island and Tofino. I have returned — for work and pleasure — many times since over the years. I found that first trip nothing short of perfect, which is unsurprising considering Vancouver has established itself as an alluring and unique destination for MICE tourism. Vancouver offers sustainability and versatility for business travelers and hosts more than 500 major domestic and international conventions, tradeshows and more.

Feb 18, 20252 Airlines Now Use Apple Features for Enhanced Baggage Tracking
It’s a fear (and even experience) we’ve all unfortunately had when traveling: We get to our destination or back home and wait at baggage claim, only to have the sinking realization our bag didn’t emerge and is missing. Fortunately, more and more airlines seek ways to avoid these problems or, at least in the event your bag does go missing temporarily, have ways to keep tabs on bags.
