HONG KONG Hong Kong has never fallen short of spectacular views, yet its rooftop bar scene has evolved far beyond simply offering a skyline backdrop. From tucked away terraces in Central to panoramic sky-high lounges overlooking Victoria harbour, today’s best rooftops combine inventive drinks, thoughtful design and some of the city’s most coveted scenery. So whether you’re looking for the ideal first date destination, the perfect place for a post-work aperitivo or somewhere t

HONG KONG High above Tsim Sha Tsui, on the 39th floor of Mondrian Hong Kong, Carna by Dario Cecchini has spent the past several months proving that a steakhouse can still surprise its regulars. The restaurant's Rare Tour dinner series — a rotating, four-hands celebration of beef craftsmanship — sold out three times in a row, and rather than let its most talked-about discovery fade into memory, Carna is now folding it into the everyday menu, alongside a fresh run of seasonal d

DA NANG Palm-shaded villas with their own plunge pools. A spa that backs onto a lake. A vegetable garden doing double duty as dinner and decor. Danang Marriott Resort & Spa, Non Nuoc Beach Villas has the ingredients of a honeymoon retreat, a wellness escape and a family reunion all at once. We checked in to find out how it pulls that off.

WISKII has become one of those activewear brands that manages to be both: scalloped hemlines and colour-blocked cuts that read as fashion first, without losing the four-way stretch and moisture-wicking performance that make it genuinely built for movement. That swim-to-street versatility is what's turned it into a crossover hit well beyond the studio. It's also, unsurprisingly, found its way into more than a few famous closets, from a chart-topping music video to a paparazzi-

Key takeaways: Ashley St. Clair, a former conservative influencer, has a son with Elon Musk born in September 2024. At the Venice premiere of the documentary Musk this week, she said she turned down a US$40 million offer not to speak about their relationship. She and Musk have since publicly disputed her account, with Musk telling TMZ the offer "was never" made. Ashley St. Clair is back in headlines this week after making some of her most pointed public comments yet about Elo

CHANGSHA Perched between the 86th and 93rd floors of Changsha IFS Tower One, Niccolo Changsha is one of the tallest hotels in Central China — and, for Hong Kong travellers looking for a short, high-speed getaway into the mainland, one of the easiest to reach. CSP Times checked in for a stay that took in the spa, the sky-high dining rooms, a Rolls-Royce-branded afternoon tea, and an evening exploring the city's coolest historic-district-turned-nightlife-strip. Location: A 3.5-

Key takeaways: Carl Dean married Dolly Parton in 1966 and stayed almost entirely out of the public eye for nearly 60 years of marriage. He ran an asphalt-paving business in Nashville and is the real-life inspiration behind Parton's hit song "Jolene." Dean died on March 3, 2025, at age 82; Parton died on August 25, 2026, at age 80. Dolly Parton spent six decades as one of the most famous entertainers in the world, but her husband, Carl Dean, spent those same six decades doing

Key takeaways: Jason Bard Yarmosky is a Brooklyn-based painter known for portraits of his grandparents exploring aging, memory and time. He and Katie Holmes were first linked in July 2026 and went Instagram official on his birthday in September 2026. Sources say Holmes has not yet introduced Yarmosky to her daughter, Suri Cruise, as the couple takes things slowly. Katie Holmes has a new man in her life, and this time, he's not a chef or a Broadway musician — he's a painter. J

While Savile Row gets the headlines and Naples gets the romance, New York built its own tradition of hand-cut, hand-sewn clothing mostly by people who arrived here with nothing but a needle and a trade. Shops opened on side streets, closed when the owner retired, sometimes reopened under a son’s name a few blocks away. Let’s see how that tradition took hold in New York, how it was kept alive through a century of changing fashion, and where it stands today. Where NYC’s Tailori

HONG KONG The weather continues to heat up, and so is Hong Kong's dining scene. September brings another wave of exciting new menus across the city, while wellness workshops and a beloved musical will keep you entertained throughout the month. GYU+ Bar by Miyoshi – Wagyu-led Menu After its soft opening period earlier this year, GYU+ Bar by Miyoshi makes its official grand opening this September. With that also comes the launch of a new Wagyu-led menu (HK$ 1,380 per person) ro

HONG KONG Looking for the best vitamins and supplements in Hong Kong? From all-in-one wellness sachets to clinic-backed multivitamins and the pharmacy shelf everyone still relies on, Hong Kong offers no shortage of options — both online and in-store. Here's our guide to where to shop, from the disruptor everyone's talking about to the trusted names that have quietly done the heavy lifting all along. IM8 IM8 is the all-in-one sachet everyone in Hong Kong's wellness circles has

HONG KONG Hong Kong has no shortage of nail salons, but Nail Jolly has quietly built something a lot of newer, flashier spots haven't managed yet: genuine staying power. Founded in 2010, the salon has spent over a decade earning a loyal following across three of the city's busiest districts — and it's worth understanding exactly why it keeps landing on "best of" lists well over ten years in. A Decade-Plus of Consistency Nail Jolly was built around a simple idea: busy urban wo

HONG KONG Mid-Autumn Festival falls on September 25 this year, and Hong Kong's hotels have rolled out their annual mooncake collections. Here are some highlights and where to order them. Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong The real draw is Lung King Heen's expanded lineup: alongside the Mixed Nuts Mooncakes with Candied Citrus (HK$628), the two-Michelin-starred restaurant offers Cream Custard with Toasted Pine Nuts (HK$628) and Preserved Egg and Pickled Ginger (HK$628), plus an Asso

DA NANG Image courtesy of Jasmin Woolf | CSP Times The name TIA translates to "a ray of light" in Vietnamese, and from the moment I arrived, that sentiment held true. Located along the beachfront near Da Nang city, TIA Wellness Resort (TIA) feels like a peaceful haven away from the city's buzz. The 87 villas sit amid tropical gardens, and the view of the Son Tra Peninsula — with the giant Lady Buddha keeping watch — sets an almost meditative tone from day one. I arrived at

Post Malone is engaged. The "Sunflower" and "I Had Some Help" singer, born Austin Richard Post, proposed to fashion stylist Christy Lee on August 17, 2026, at his ranch in Utah — and in the days since, both the proposal and Lee herself have become the subject of intense interest. Here's a detailed look at who she is, how their relationship unfolded, and everything Post Malone and Lee have each said about it. Who Is Christy Lee?

HONG KONG Grand Hyatt Hong Kong's Plateau Spa has just brought a new Korean skincare brand to the city, and it arrived with more than enough clinical credibility to make us curious. VENN, developed over more than 25 years of dermatological research in South Korea, is now available exclusively in Hong Kong through Plateau Spa's treatment menu and retail counter — and with pigmentation, dullness, fine lines, and general dehydration all on our own list of concerns, the brand-new

Summer style works best when it feels easy. The goal is not to pile on complicated pieces, but to choose accessories that make warm-weather outfits look more intentional while still keeping you comfortable. A simple linen shirt, tank top, sundress, shorts, or swimwear look can feel more complete with the right sunglasses, hat, tote, sandals, jewelry, scarf, or water bottle. These seven accessories can upgrade your summer style without making it feel overdone. 1. Why Are Smart

HONG KONG Tai Koo doesn't get talked about the way Central or Tsim Sha Tsui do when it comes to a big night out, but EAST Hong Kong makes a genuinely strong case for crossing the harbour for it. We spent an evening working our way from sunset drinks on the 32nd floor down to a full weekend tasting menu on the ground floor — here's how it went. About EAST Hong Kong EAST is the more business-oriented of Swire Hotels' sub-brands — a kind of younger, more design-forward cousin to

Buying a watch is easy. Finding one worth collecting takes a little more thought. Collectors look at several details before deciding whether a timepiece deserves a place in their collection. Rarity, history, condition, craftsmanship, and the story behind the watch can all make a difference. For someone starting out, these factors are useful when comparing watches and deciding where to spend money. Rarity Is One Piece of the Puzzle Limited production often makes a watch more a
