Between filming the holiday romance Christmas Cowboy and starring opposite Brooke Shields and Bridget Moynahan in the upc

Where to Brunch in Hong Kong in 2025: The City’s Top Spots for Every Mood
HONG KONG Hong Kong has never been shy about indulgence. In a city that thrives on spectacle — mirrored skyscrapers, rooftop pools, Michelin-starred dim sum — the weekend brunch has evolved into its own cultural ritual. What began as a midday meal has become a theatre of abundance, where champagne towers rise as high as Central’s skyline and plates arrive in waves until afternoon slips into evening. From French Riviera flair to Bollywood-bright spice markets, from harbourside

Hotel Review: The Sukhothai Bangkok
BANGKOK Bangkok is a city of extremes — frenetic, dazzling, often overwhelming — where skyscrapers cast shadows over gilded temples and street food stalls compete with Michelin stars.

And yet, tucked discreetly along Sathorn Road, there is a place that has been offering exactly that for more than three decades: The Sukhothai Bangkok , a proud member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World . Since opening in 1991, T

DJ Off-Duty: Samantha Michelle
There’s a magnetic duality to Samantha Michelle — equal parts downtown cool and cinematic soul. A New York–based DJ, music producer, and filmmaker, she’s built a world where rhythm meets ritual, spinning sets that feel less like performances and more like portals. From Glastonbury to Cannes, and residencies for Dolce & Gabbana and The Wall Street Journal , her soundscapes have drawn the kind of crowds who move for both the music and the moment.

Review: Rosewood Munich – Where Bavarian Grandeur Meets Contemporary Luxury
MUNICH Munich is a city of contrasts: biergartens and BMWs, rococo churches and cutting-edge galleries. It’s fitting, then, that Rosewood’s first German property occupies two of the Bavarian capital’s most storied addresses — a former aristocratic residence, Palais Neuhaus-Preysing, and the onetime headquarters of the Bavarian State Bank.
