Hamburg is a city that rewards exploration, from the paths around the Alster lakes to the museums, galleries, restaurants, and neighborhoods that give the city its distinct character. The Grand Elysée Hamburg hotel offers a comfortable base for discovering it, but the hotel itself has something quite special: it is Germany's largest independently owned five-star hotel, making it a destination worth experiencing in its own right. That independence is noticeable in the way the

VISU Contemporary will present RISE, a photographic exhibition by Pari Dukovic, on view from October 15 through November 21, 2026. Featuring 29 photographs taken with dancers from the Miami City Ballet during the company’s 40th anniversary season, the series moves away from traditional performance documentation. Instead of capturing stage spectacle, the images isolate the disciplined body to reveal how years of physical rigor, private effort, and intense focus culminate in ge

On the cover of his 1996 autobiography, the American architect Morris Lapidus (1902–2001) strikes a confident pose. The photograph is from 1957; Lapidus is dressed in white, his face framed against a building of his own design, the Aruba Caribbean Hotel. With this unadorned cubic structure as a backdrop, Lapidus seems like a typical modernist architect working in a familiar International Style idiom. But the book’s title and its jacket design subvert this notion. The photogra

Watching an NFL game at a sports bar is easy in Miami. Finding a bar where the room is filled with people rooting for the same team is different. South Florida’s mix of longtime residents, transplants and seasonal visitors has produced dedicated pockets of Bills, Eagles, Giants, Vikings, Steelers, Ravens and Dolphins supporters. Some meet through established fan clubs, while others have turned particular bars into regular game-day gathering places. Photo/Amit Ahav/Unsplash Fo

The tradition of private high jewelry appointments dates back to 1893, when Frédéric Boucheron opened his salon at 26 Place Vendôme in Paris.

This allows collectors to examine rare and valuable pieces and designs discreetly, discuss prices and provenance confidentially, and make p

I’ve always been drawn to pianos: some for their sound, others for the history they carry. In some cases, both come together to make an instrument a cultural artifact worth millions. From the transparent grand played at the 2008 Beijing Olympics to the upright John Lennon used to write “Imagine,” I thought it would be interesting to showcase these pianos and the stories they hold beyond the concert hall. 10.

Football season is back, and in Miami, choosing where to watch can be almost as important as choosing which game gets the big screen.

Miami has no shortage of luxury hotels, but the experience changes a lot depending on where you stay. South Beach is still the place for oceanfront icons, nightlife and design-driven properties. Brickell and Downtown are better for skyline views, business travel and easy access to the city. Bal Harbour and Surfside are quieter, more exclusive and often more expensive, while Key Biscayne and Coral Gables offer a slower, more private side of Miami. Biltmore Hotel Miami-Coral Ga

The Ultimate Destination for Luxury, Privacy, and Nature As long as I can remember, I’ve wondered what it’s like to own a private island, a secluded retreat like those of Sir Richard Branson and other fortunate few. That is, until I stumbled upon Ambergris Cay—an under-the-radar luxury retreat in the southern reaches of Turks & Caicos. Located in the southeastern corner of this island chain, I couldn’t resist booking a stay at this elusive, luxurious resort. Picture this: th

Did you know that luxury watches have become much more than instruments for telling time? I’ve always found it fascinating that something created for such a practical purpose could evolve into a form of self-expression, a symbol of status, and, in some cases, even a piece of history. And I thought you might like to know that some of the world’s most valuable watches have stories that are just as interesting, and sometimes remarkable, as their price tags. Take the famous Patek

There are few universal pleasures quite like sharing a good glass of wine. It brings people together, slows the moment down, and turns an ordinary evening into something worth savoring. And did you know that back in 1822 in Paris, French merchant Louis Nicolas revolutionized the industry by selling quality wines in individual bottles rather than traditional barrels? This simple and clever convenience laid the groundwork for the modern wine shop that we are all accustomed to.
