Whether you’re arranging a lavish escape for a VIP—or just want to vacation like one—these exclusive properties deliver impeccable service, next-level luxury, and serious star power.

  1. The Shore Club, Turks and Caicos: An Icon in Beachfront Glamour

Tucked along the pristine sands of Long Bay Beach, The Shore Club continues to define tropical sophistication. Though a two-time winner of “Most Instagrammable Hotel in the World,” the photos hardly do it justice. Home to high-profile guests like Simone Biles, Tracy Morgan, and Robin Roberts, the resort offers a selection of 8,800-square-foot villas—six-bedroom marvels complete with private pools, butler service, and even underground service tunnels for complete discretion.

Top-tier touches? Fast-tracked VIP arrivals at Providenciales International Airport, champagne welcomes, private chefs, kids’ amenities, and in-villa saunas. The views are stunning, but privacy is paramount—elevators connect directly to hidden staff pathways so no one ever has to be seen.

Prefer to stay higher up? The one- to three-bedroom Executive Penthouses offer sweeping ocean vistas, spacious balconies, gourmet kitchens, and spa-inspired bathrooms with soaking tubs. These are the go-to picks for celebrity guests seeking unobstructed views and an elevated escape.

At mealtime, the Asian-Peruvian fine dining spot Sui-Ren wows with dishes like lomo saltado and creative sushi on Fridays. For something more intimate, private dining experiences—on the beach or in-villa—can be easily arranged with advance notice.

The Dune Spa is another standout, featuring island-inspired treatments like the Twilight Ceremony and the region-exclusive LING Neolifting facial. Add a world-class fitness center, tennis courts, and a lap pool, and the wellness factor is off the charts.

Looking for adventure? Concierge-arranged excursions include kiteboarding (a must at Long Bay), horseback rides, snorkeling, and island-hopping via private yacht.

32. Kamalame Cay, Bahamas: Private Island Luxury, Reimagined

Accessible only by seaplane or private boat, Kamalame Cay is the crown jewel of secluded island living. Sprawled across 96 acres off the coast of Andros, this barefoot-luxe hideaway recently welcomed a stunning new villa, Buttonwood. Perched atop one of the Cay’s highest points, it offers wraparound terraces, four serene bedrooms, and 4,300 square feet of indoor-outdoor space perfect for families or small groups seeking total privacy.

All villas offer beach access, panoramic views, and optional upgrades like private chefs, yoga instructors, and in-villa spa treatments. While traditional butler service isn’t provided, the concierge team delivers personalized attention and indulgent extras like breakfast cooks and cocktail hours.

Standout feature? The overwater spa—said to be the only one in the Caribbean—specializes in organic seaweed-based treatments. The Vitamin Sea Brightening Facial is a guest favorite, blending marine ingredients with vitamin C for instant radiance.

Dining is equally impressive, with Ocean-to-Table lunches and curated private dinners served under the stars. Kamalame’s Sugarcane restaurant pulls flavors from around the world’s sugarcane belt—from Jamaica to Southeast Asia.

Excursions range from snorkeling the Andros Barrier Reef and deep-sea fishing to dolphin-spotting cruises and blue hole adventures. Don’t skip the seaplane arrival—stepping off straight onto your villa’s doorstep is a power move.

With 40 private accommodations scattered throughout the estate, guests enjoy near-total privacy and room to roam. Rainfall showers, soaking tubs, and organic design details create a haven for unplugging in style.

Belle Mont’s KayanJet arrival experience elevates the journey from the start. Whether flying commercial or private, guests are whisked from tarmac to private terminal, where customs, immigration, and baggage are handled discreetly over drinks and gourmet bites.

On-property enrichment includes cooking classes, foraging experiences, and exclusive dining at The Lookout—ideal for anniversaries or proposals. For foodies, don’t miss the Chef’s Table Dinner or spicy local dishes like tamarind-ginger chicken and flame-grilled lobster.

Wellness seekers will appreciate spa treatments using indigenous ingredients and custom body scrubs, while thrill-seekers can hike Mount Liamuiga or dive into Caribbean adventures like snorkeling, paddleboarding, or catamaran cruising.

Looking to sip and swirl? Book the Kittitian RumMaster experience—an interactive journey through the region’s rum legacy that ends with your own bespoke bottle.

The Verdict:

Whether you’re island-hopping like the stars or booking the ultimate getaway for a discerning client, these resorts redefine Caribbean luxury. From private islands to hidden villas and VIP arrivals, the only thing more indulgent than the service is the scenery.

Luxury just got a new address in Tokyo—and it’s soaring high above the skyline. BELLUSTAR TOKYO, the sleek, sky-high gem from Pan Pacific Hotels, is turning heads and setting a new gold standard for hospitality in Japan’s buzzing capital. Fresh off its win as Best New Hotel (International) at the prestigious TTG China Travel Awards 2025, this newcomer is proving that it’s more than just another high-rise hotel in Shinjuku—it’s a transformative experience.

A Win Worth Celebrating

Every year since 2008, the TTG China Travel Awards have spotlighted standout players across Greater China’s travel and tourism industries. In 2025, BELLUSTAR TOKYO took the spotlight, winning big in the China Outbound Market category—reserved for global hotels that have mastered the art of hosting China’s growing cohort of outbound travelers. For a hotel that only opened its doors in 2023, that’s no small feat.

Luxury Meets Altitude at Tokyo Kabukicho Tower

What makes BELLUSTAR TOKYO a standout? For starters, its location. Perched atop the Tokyo Kabukicho Tower, the hotel delivers jaw-dropping panoramic views of the city from every angle. But the views are just the beginning. Inside, guests are wrapped in serene Japanese elegance: clean lines, rich textures, and a subtle blend of tradition and contemporary flair that speaks volumes without shouting.

And then there’s the exclusivity. The hotel’s Sky Private Villa features five penthouse suites designed for those who crave privacy, style, and the ultimate indulgence. Whether you’re sipping tea above the clouds or winding down in your private onsen-inspired bath, BELLUSTAR TOKYO invites you to rise above the city in more ways than one.

Cuisine, Culture, and Calm—All Under One Roof

Fine dining is part of the journey at BELLUSTAR TOKYO. The hotel boasts a Michelin-level restaurant where traditional Japanese flavors meet avant-garde culinary innovation. The spa, SPA Sunya, is a sanctuary in itself, offering treatments rooted in Japanese wellness traditions—earning accolades of its own for its refined atmosphere and rejuvenating experiences.

It’s this fusion of culture, cuisine, and comfort that continues to draw in global travelers seeking more than just a luxury stay—they want meaning, depth, and connection.

Leading a New Era in Tokyo’s Luxury Hospitality

This latest TTG recognition puts BELLUSTAR TOKYO at the center of a bigger movement. High-end travelers—especially from China and the wider Asia-Pacific—are searching for authentic, premium experiences that blend local culture with uncompromising comfort. In that space, BELLUSTAR has positioned itself as both a haven and a gateway.

Its rise is helping redefine what luxury means in Tokyo, a city already known for its impeccable hospitality. But where other hotels stick to tradition or chase trends, BELLUSTAR TOKYO does both—with balance, poise, and an eye toward the future.

Accolades Keep Rolling In

This isn’t the hotel’s first brush with fame. Since its debut, BELLUSTAR TOKYO has collected a shelf of accolades:

  • Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2024: Top 10 City Hotel
  • World Luxury Awards 2024: Best Luxury New Hotel in East Asia, Best Architectural Design in East Asia
  • MICHELIN Guide Hotel Selection: One MICHELIN Key
  • World Luxury Awards 2024: Best Spa Experiences (for SPA Sunya)

Each honor underscores the hotel’s relentless pursuit of excellence—from aesthetics and architecture to service and soul.

A Word from the Visionary Behind the Scenes

General Manager Katsushi Nishikawa attributes the hotel’s success to the passion of his team. “This award is a true honor,” he said, “and it belongs to every member of our team who pours their heart into creating unforgettable moments for our guests.” With an eye on the future, Nishikawa emphasized BELLUSTAR TOKYO’s commitment to raising the bar even higher in the years to come.

What’s Next for BELLUSTAR TOKYO?

As the hotel prepares to celebrate its two-year anniversary on May 19, 2025, it’s already setting sights on the future—refining its offerings, deepening cultural experiences, and welcoming more global guests into its world of sky-high elegance.

BELLUSTAR TOKYO is more than a hotel—it’s a statement. A testament to Tokyo’s evolving luxury landscape and a beacon for travelers who expect the extraordinary.

Let’s be honest—some bags shout, while others whisper. And in today’s fashion landscape, the whisperers are winning. While logo-heavy bags once dominated the streets and feeds, the tide has turned in favor of understated, stealthy elegance. Welcome to the world of quiet luxury: where buttery leather, perfect proportions, and near-invisible branding are the new flex.

These bags aren’t trying to impress everyone—they’re speaking directly to those who get it. Think generational quality, architectural design, and the kind of cool that never needs to try. From The Row’s cult classics to new-age icons like Savette and Toteme, here are 16 quiet-luxury bags that say everything without saying a word.

1. Savette Symmetry Bag


Sculptural, structured, and oh-so-satisfying to hold. Savette’s Symmetry isn’t just a bag—it’s an object of design. It may not have a screaming logo, but fashion editors and insiders spot it a mile away.

2. Hermès Kelly Bag


The holy grail of understated luxury. Grace Kelly carried it, collectors covet it, and it’s somehow even cooler when it looks like it’s been passed down through generations.

3. The Row Margaux Bag


The Row doesn’t do trends—they create future heirlooms. The Margaux is proof. Oversized, supple, and subtly commanding, it’s the kind of bag that turns heads quietly.

4. Celine Triomphe Bag


Old Céline energy with a touch of Parisian flair. The Triomphe’s clasp is its only “logo”—and somehow that tiny detail carries massive style weight.

5. The Row Sofia Bag


Sleek, structured, and whispering wealth, the Sofia is like the Margaux’s chic little sister who works in finance and lives in an Upper East Side townhouse.

6. Toteme T-Lock Bag


This one’s for the minimalist with a taste for the architectural. Toteme’s T-Lock is modern, polished, and surprisingly roomy—ideal for your phone, wallet, and quiet confidence.

7. Prada Re-Edition 1995 Bag


A throwback to the ‘90s in the best way. If you love the elegance of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and a bit of old-school Prada attitude, this one’s your match.

8. Khaite Olivia Bag


Imagine a New Yorker who wears oversized blazers, vintage jeans, and doesn’t care about trends—but somehow always looks like she belongs on a billboard. That’s Olivia.

9. Bottega Veneta Arco Bag


Bottega’s intrecciato weave is iconic without needing a logo. The Arco updates that legacy with soft lines and just the right amount of edge.

10. Métier Perriand Bag


This is the bag Indiana Jones would carry if he swapped artifacts for afternoon tea at Claridge’s. Smart, elegant, and ready for adventure.

11. DeMellier New York Tote


Proof that luxury doesn’t need to come with a five-figure price tag. Structured and elevated, it’s become a go-to for royals and real people alike.

12. Saint Laurent Manhattan Bag


Clean lines, sharp structure, and a name that practically guarantees city-slicker vibes. It’s Manhattan in bag form—stylish, fast-paced, and always on point.

13. Tory Burch Lee Radziwill Bag


Old-money elegance with a downtown cool factor. Inspired by one of fashion’s most stylish women, this bag brings vintage charm into the now.

14. Ferragamo Hug Pouch


Soft curves and sculptural simplicity. It’s the kind of bag that makes you want to ditch everything else and just carry lipstick and a good novel.

15. Loewe Paseo Bag


An artsy alternative to traditional shapes, the Paseo is Loewe at its most refined. It’s soft, swoon-worthy, and perfect for those who live for the little design details.

16. DeMellier Vancouver Clutch


A clutch that’s not just for show. With a sleek gold clasp and polished finish, it can elevate your jeans-and-tee look or glide effortlessly into evening plans.

Quiet luxury is more than a trend—it’s a mindset. It’s about buying less but better, investing in pieces that last, and choosing quality over clout. These 16 bags aren’t loud. They don’t need to be. Because when you know, you know.

On April 7, 2025, the Hotel Association of New York City Foundation (HANYC Foundation) hosted its annual Red Carpet Hospitality Gala at the JW Marriott Essex House in Manhattan. The evening brought together leaders from the hotel, tourism, Broadway, and public safety sectors to celebrate excellence in hospitality and unveil a refined mission focused on addressing New York City’s pressing challenges.​

The gala marked a significant shift in the Foundation’s focus, announcing new initiatives targeting public safety, sanitation, and immigration. In partnership with the NYPD, HANYC Foundation launched two key programs: expanding the NYC Police Foundation’s Crime Stoppers Hotline to combat human trafficking and integrating participating hotels’ security cameras into the NYPD’s Lower Manhattan Security Initiative.

The event honored industry leaders for their contributions: Susan L. Birnbaum, President & CEO of the NYC Police Foundation, received the inaugural Champion of Public Safety Award; Lindsey Ueberroth, CEO of Preferred Travel Group, was honored with the Hospitality Award; and Frank DiLella, Emmy Award-winning journalist and host of “On Stage” on Spectrum News NY1, received the Broadway Award. ​

A highlight of the evening was a special performance by BOOP! The Musical, adding a touch of Broadway flair to the gala.

Co-chaired by Vijay Dandapani, President & CEO of the Hotel Association of New York City; Heather Davis, Chair of the HANYC Foundation; and Shane Cookman, Acting Chair of the Association, the gala underscored the Foundation’s commitment to enhancing New York City’s hospitality landscape through strategic partnerships and community-focused initiatives.

Proceeds from the gala will support the HANYC Foundation’s charitable programs across the city, reinforcing its role as a catalyst for positive change in New York’s hospitality industry. ​

On April 7, 2025, The Glasshouse in New York City transformed into a vibrant nexus of creativity and ambition as the Fashion Scholarship Fund (FSF) hosted its 88th Annual Gala.

The evening was co-hosted by designer Christian Siriano and supermodel Coco Rocha, setting a tone of inspiration and elegance. Attendees were treated to a dynamic showcase of student portfolios, reflecting a diverse range of disciplines from design to marketing. The atmosphere buzzed with networking opportunities, as students engaged with industry leaders, alumni, and peers, fostering connections that could shape their future careers.

This year’s gala honored four influential figures for their contributions to fashion and mentorship: Jerry Lorenzo, founder of Fear of God; Sara and Erin Foster, co-founders of Favorite Daughter; and Tony Spring, chairman and CEO of Macy’s. Their presence underscored the event’s commitment to bridging established success with emerging talent.

A highlight of the night was the presentation of the $25,000 Chairman’s Award to Fatmata Camara of LIM College by NBA All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns. Camara, also a Virgil Abloh “Post-Modern” Scholar and assistant buyer at Macy’s, delivered an emotional speech, expressing gratitude to her family, college, and employer for their unwavering support.

Adding to the evening’s allure were culinary delights from Ghetto Gastro and a surprise capsule pop-up by KidSuper, infusing the gala with flavors and fashion-forward designs that resonated with the event’s youthful energy. ​

The 88th Annual FSF Gala not only celebrated academic and creative excellence but also reinforced the importance of community, mentorship, and the relentless pursuit of innovation in fashion. As the night concluded, it left an indelible impression of a future industry in capable and visionary hands.

After three years behind closed doors and a $220 million renovation, the Frick Collection made a dazzling return to its Gilded Age mansion with an unforgettable gala. Held in the heart of Manhattan, the evening brought together art patrons, collectors, and New York’s cultural elite for a celebration that was both opulent and deeply personal.

Guests were welcomed into the newly transformed space, where the architectural redesign by Selldorf Architects preserved the intimate charm of Henry Clay Frick’s historic home while subtly modernizing its interiors. As attendees sipped champagne beneath glittering chandeliers and wandered through meticulously restored rooms, the museum’s beloved masterpieces—works by the likes of Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Fragonard—were finally back in their rightful places.

The gala wasn’t just a party; it was a moving reunion between art and audience. The walls, once silent, seemed to echo with admiration as guests admired the return of iconic paintings and sculptures, now recontextualized with a renewed sense of clarity and elegance. Candlelit tables, soft classical music, and whispered conversations created an atmosphere of timeless glamour.

The evening marked more than just the reopening of a cultural institution—it signaled a revival of New York’s artistic heartbeat. With expanded gallery space, improved accessibility, and new visitor amenities, the Frick is poised to continue its legacy as one of the city’s most cherished art destinations, all while staying true to the intimacy that sets it apart.

After a three-year closure and a $220 million renovation, the Frick Collection in New York reopened its grand doors with a glittering gala that brought together the city’s elite, patrons of the arts, and tastemakers for a truly memorable evening. The celebration was nothing short of opulent—a rare blend of history, elegance, and modern luxury.

Held within the newly transformed Gilded Age mansion, the event marked not only the museum’s architectural rebirth but also a long-awaited reunion for art lovers. Guests were treated to a private viewing of the Frick’s timeless collection, spanning the 14th to 19th centuries. The return of masterpieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Fragonard to their historic home electrified the atmosphere with reverence and admiration.

Candlelight flickered off polished marble and intricate woodwork as live classical music filled the grand halls. Champagne flowed, conversation sparked, and the mood was one of joyous rediscovery. The museum’s redesign by Selldorf Architects maintains the intimate, residential spirit of Henry Clay Frick’s original vision while offering expanded gallery space and new amenities that bring a fresh sense of openness.

It wasn’t just a party—it was a statement. A reminder that great art endures, and so does the devotion of those who cherish it. The night signaled the beginning of a vibrant new chapter for one of New York’s most beloved cultural institutions.

Miller Motorcars and Bugatti Greenwich have just delivered an extraordinary automotive masterpiece: a 1,600-horsepower Bugatti Mistral finished in the timeless hue of French Racing Blue. This delivery isn’t just another hypercar handoff—it’s a defining moment in Bugatti’s legacy, marking the end of an era for the iconic W16 engine.

As the final road-legal model to feature Bugatti’s legendary quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16, the Mistral is both a celebration of power and a work of rolling art. Inspired by the Type 57 Roadster Grand Raid yet thoroughly modern in execution, its open-top form merges extreme performance with timeless beauty. The sleek bodywork, meticulously crafted for both aesthetics and aerodynamics, glows with carbon fiber accents and sculptural aluminum details.

Bugatti Greenwich, operating under the esteemed Miller Motorcars name, delivered this bespoke model to one of the brand’s elite collectors. The delivery serves as a nod to Bugatti’s rich history and a glimpse into the brand’s visionary future. Every inch of the vehicle was made to thrill—on the road and in the garage.

Inside, the Mistral cocoons its driver in craftsmanship: buttery leathers, hand-finished trim, and a minimalist layout focused on driving purity. The attention to detail is unparalleled, echoing the same care that has made Bugatti a name synonymous with both speed and sophistication.

With only 99 units set for production globally, each Mistral is uniquely tailored. This French Racing Blue example is a reminder that when Bugatti builds a car, it creates a legacy. The W16 may be retiring, but it’s going out with an open-roof roar.

Bugatti, the legendary name synonymous with high-performance cars and unparalleled luxury, is now turning heads in the world of interior design. During the prestigious Milan Design Week 2024, Bugatti Home officially opened its first permanent design atelier, housed in the iconic Palazzo Gallarati Scotti. With this move, the brand brings its distinctive blend of artistry, innovation, and exclusivity into the heart of one of the world’s most influential design capitals.

More than just a showroom, the Bugatti Home Atelier offers a fully immersive experience that captures the spirit of the brand’s DNA. Designed to reflect the same high standards of precision and personalization that define its hyper sports cars, the space invites visitors to explore, customize, and create. At the center of this vision is the Configuration Studio—a dedicated space where clients can interact with a wide selection of materials and finishes to design interiors that are not only luxurious but deeply personal.

This new chapter in Bugatti’s design journey is marked by the unveiling of its latest Capsule Collection. Drawing inspiration from the aerodynamic elegance of Bugatti vehicles, the collection includes the sculptural TYPE_18 dining chair and the sleek TYPE_17 armchair, both built with bold aluminum structures and performance-driven aesthetics. The TYPE_19 bed features a floating headboard that evokes the movement of ocean waves, while the TYPE_20 barstool balances technical refinement with modern elegance.

The artistry doesn’t stop at furniture. The new accessory collection brings tactile beauty to everyday living. Standout pieces include Murano-blown blue glass vases, luxurious cashmere throws with quilted 3D textures, 3D-printed porcelain-style trays, enamel-coated copper glasses, and a sophisticated backgammon set handcrafted from wood and leather. Each item is made in Italy, demonstrating Bugatti’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of craftsmanship and material innovation.

According to Wiebke Ståhl, Managing Director of Bugatti International, “The new Bugatti Home Atelier draws on Milan’s legacy in design and fashion, offering a uniquely tailored experience to clients.” The opening not only cements Milan’s importance to the brand’s global strategy but also underscores Bugatti’s evolving vision for the luxury lifestyle space.

Following successful showcases in Paris and Dubai, the Milan atelier signals Bugatti Home’s continued global expansion. With this latest step, the brand reinforces its mission to bring hypercar-level craftsmanship into the home—redefining what it means to live beautifully and boldly.

The luxury Genesis GV80 SUV is taking a big step toward electrification, with a hybrid model arriving soon and a fully electric GV80 EV debuting later this decade.

Genesis has emerged as a serious contender in the luxury market, and with the industry’s shift toward EVs, the brand is doubling down—though not quite as originally planned. While Genesis initially committed to an EV-only future, it’s now taking a strategic detour with hybrid options before rolling out its next wave of fully electric models.


When is the Genesis GV80 EV Launching?

According to reports, Genesis will introduce the next-generation GV80 in 2026 or 2027, featuring a 2.5L hybrid powertrain for the first time. Currently, the midsize luxury SUV is available with either a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder or a 3.5L twin-turbo V6, so adding a hybrid should boost efficiency while maintaining its premium performance.

But the real game-changer? A fully electric GV80, set to debut in 2028.

The GV80 EV will reportedly ride on Hyundai’s upcoming eM platform, which is expected to:
Increase driving range
Enhance charging speeds
Reduce production costs

The same platform will underpin the ultra-luxury Genesis GV90 and other future EVs, allowing Genesis to expand its electric lineup.

How Does the GV80 EV Compare to Rivals?

At 4,940 mm long, 1,975 mm wide, and 1,715 mm tall, the Genesis GV80 EV is positioned as a direct competitor to luxury electric SUVs like the:
🔹 BMW iX (4,952 mm long, 1,967 mm wide, 1,695 mm tall)
🔹 Tesla Model Y (slightly smaller)
🔹 Porsche Macan EV (also slightly smaller)

Genesis is also reportedly working on an electric G70 sports sedan, which—like the GV80 EV—likely won’t arrive until 2027 or 2028.

With Genesis steadily carving out its place in the luxury EV market, can the GV80 EV compete with the BMW iX or the upcoming Porsche Cayenne EV? Let us know your thoughts!

Buying a brand-new luxury car is like ordering the most expensive dish at a restaurant—tempting and indulgent, but often unnecessary when a perfectly delicious alternative is available at a fraction of the cost. That’s exactly the case with used luxury sedans. While new models lose thousands in value the moment they roll off the dealership lot, their depreciated predecessors still offer a first-class experience—plush interiors, powerful engines, and a sense of prestige—all without breaking the bank.

The downside? You might not get the latest tech, like Apple CarPlay or adaptive cruise control, but who needs all that when you have seats as soft as your grandmother’s couch, woodgrain accents that exude old-school charm, and the unmistakable aroma of leather and nostalgia? These sedans take us back to a time when luxury meant comfort and power, not just software updates and touchscreen gimmicks.

Here, we take a look at 10 American luxury sedans that have depreciated into absolute bargains. Each one offers a mix of class, comfort, and affordability, proving that sometimes, the best cars are the ones that have already been broken in.

Note: Pricing estimates come from Kelley Blue Book, while specs are sourced from manufacturers and trusted industry outlets like Hagerty, J.D. Power, and Edmunds. Cars are ranked from the least to the most expensive, meaning even if you’re working with a tight budget, there’s something here for you.

6. 2020 Chevrolet Impala – The Last of the Big Chevys

💰 Average Used Price: $17,000

  • Torque: 285 lb-ft

At the forefront of this transformation are two newly opened boutique hotels—Chalet Sofija and Vila Muhr—which offer distinct interpretations of luxury hospitality. While both embrace the beauty and serenity of their surroundings, they cater to different types of guests, united by their commitment to exclusivity, personalized service, and local authenticity.

This striking timepiece adds a unique, colorful twist to the highly successful MoonSwatch collection, continuing to captivate both watch collectors and fashion-forward enthusiasts.
