Few new openings in feel as architecturally and emotionally considered as Vista Ostuni (), a restored 14th-century palazzo overlooking the White City and the endless olive groves of the Valle d’Itria. Once a convent, hospital, and to***co factory, the historic landmark has been transformed by the Passera family of LarioHotels into one of southern Italy’s most compelling new luxury addresses, where local stone, vaulted ceilings, handcrafted details, and expansive contemporary spaces reconnect hospitality with the cultural soul of Puglia itself. With only 28 rooms and suites, three distinct pools, including a rooftop infinity pool suspended above Ostuni, a vast subterranean spa, Mediterranean gardens, and deeply personalized service, Vista Ostuni introduces a more refined and thoughtful vision of luxury in the region: one rooted in heritage, restoration, atmosphere, craftsmanship, and place. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🛺🛺🛺🪨🪨🪨🫒🫒🫒

Rising above the plains of Puglia like a limestone fortress, Ostuni has stood as one of southern Italy’s most enduring strongholds for centuries. Its iconic whitewashed facades, historically covered in lime to reflect heat and protect the city during periods of plague, became both a practical necessity and the defining identity of the White City itself. Shaped by Messapian origins, Byzantine influence, Norman rule, and generations of southern Italian life, remains a remarkable reflection of ’s layered cultural history.

Wandering through its ancient fortified walls, Baroque gateways, medieval alleyways, and cathedral-lined piazzas via the Ape Calessino feels like stepping into a city where history continues to live within the stone. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🛺🛺🛺🏛🏛🏛

A special stop in Frankfurt when the Städel Museum () presents one of its most compelling exhibitions of the year with Stillleben mit Gemüse by Elmgreen & Dragset (), an immersive intervention that transforms the museum into a psychological theatre of observation, illusion, humour, and unease. Unfolding across the institution almost like a treasure hunt, the exhibition encourages visitors to continuously question what belongs to the permanent collection and what has subtly entered through the artists’ intervention: a child sketching beneath Goethe’s portrait, an abandoned baby before a Pietà, suspended figures hovering above staircases, rows of empty office cubicles confronting the rituals of ambition, labour, and contemporary life.

Speaking with the Duo artists firsthand revealed how precisely every placement and interruption was conceived. There is also a fascinating continuation of the spatial and institutional dialogue they previously explored at the Musée d'Orsay, though here at the Städel, the experience feels even more expansive, spanning across centuries of art history, architecture, and perception itself. At a time when Frankfurt is simultaneously presenting major exhibitions dedicated to Monet and Bruegel, the city reaffirms itself as one of Europe’s most understated and layered cultural destinations.

The Stillleben mit Gemüse exhibition by Elmgreen & Dragset is now on view until January 2027! Plan you visit soon....

Few journeys today capture the romance of slow travel with the same sense of atmosphere and refinement as the Eastern & Oriental Express () by . Earlier this spring, I embarked on the four-day journey from Singapore through the heart of Malaysia and back again, an experience that has stayed with me ever since. As the train moved through palm plantations, fishing villages, dense jungle landscapes, and quiet rural towns, the outside world gradually softened into a slower rhythm. Inside, polished wood interiors, velvet textures, soft lighting, and restored vintage details carried the glamour of another era, while the constantly shifting scenery gave the journey a rare sense of stillness and perspective. Each day unfolded between exceptional dining curated by Chef André Chiang (), long afternoons in the open-air observation carriage, and evenings shaped by live music, champagne karaoke, and the gentle cadence of the rails. The introduction of Asia’s first onboard Dior Spa () reflects how the train continues to evolve beyond nostalgia into a contemporary expression of wellness, design, and slow luxury travel.

What remained with me most, however, was the remarkable attentiveness of the onboard team. Despite the intimacy of the cabins and the realities of life aboard a moving train, every detail was handled with warmth, precision, and elegance. By the final evening, the journey no longer felt defined by destination, but by the rare privilege of fully slowing down and becoming immersed in the experience itself. 🚃🚃🚃🪭🪭🪭🌴🌴🌴🛺🛺🛺

Hong Kong remains one of the world’s most compelling dining cities where hospitality, culture, design, and storytelling continue to shape deeply memorable experiences.

Among our recent favourites, The Legacy House () offers one of the city’s most refined contemporary Cantonese experiences inside Rosewood Hong Kong. Duddell's () continues to bridge art and gastronomy through a distinctly Hong Kong lens with consistent iconic dishes and newly renovated dining rooms and patio, and Louise (.hkg) brings a more intimate, residential rhythm to French dining under Chef Julien Royer.

In Central area, there is Prince and the Peacock () , where Chef Palash Mitra brings a refined and layered perspective to Indian dining inside Tai Kwun’s historic Magistracy building. Nearby, Grand Majestic Sichuan () by Chef Theign Phan continues to redefine contemporary Sichuan dining through bold flavours, precision, and a cinematic 1970s Hong Kong-inspired setting.

For cocktails, Bar Leone () remains one of the city’s defining addresses, celebrated for its warmth, character, and deeply personal hospitality, while the sister establishment Montana () preserves a more energetic, music-driven side of the city’s bar culture.

A few favorites from a city that continues to evolve as one of the great cultural dining capitals of the world... 🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🍽🍽🍽🍸🍸🍸

April went by so fast, I just had a moment to review the highlights.

revealed how design today extends far beyond objects. Across the city, fashion houses, galleries, hospitality brands, and technology studios are shaping complete cultural environments where furniture, art, craftsmanship, space intersect into a broader lifestyle language.

I kicked off the week with .forum.milan along with many design and hospitality professionals, executives and legendary Sir Rocco Forte who received another lifetime achievement at the forum.

During my first visit to Milan Design Week and Salone del Mobile ( ), what struck me most was the growing depth of collaboration behind the presentations. Alongside exploring exhibitions and installations across Milan, I spent time researching and visiting Salone itself, witnessing how contemporary design and furnishings continue to evolve through material innovation, craftsmanship, technology, and changing ways of living.

Highlights included Nilufar’s () cinematic Grand Hotel installation, CASAORNELLA () experimental ANIMALE SOCIALE, and Chloé’s () re-edition of the iconic Tomato Chair by Christian Adam and Poltronova (), a renewed reflection on Italy’s Radical Design movement. Elsewhere, MoscaPartners Variations (), the × experience, and Vanity Fair Italia’s () Archivio project.

What makes Milan unique is how the entire city becomes part of the exhibition itself where historic palazzos, courtyards, galleries, and industrial spaces transform into temporary cultural stages.

A beautiful first immersion into the evolving language of contemporary design. Bravo! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🙏🙏🙏🔶️🔶️🔶️
