CREATE YOUR OWN HOTEL

Whether you want to blow out your villa in the South of France to make it even better than a hotel, or you’re traveling further afield to destinations like Sierra Leone and need a place to call home for a few days, weeks, or months, we have you covered. With our extensive travels around the world, we’ve created the network of dedicated resources who create “pop up” hotel experiences for you. Because let’s face it, Ramada is 9.99 times out of 10 not going to cut it, when you’re traveling to challenging destinations. Our services could be as simple as getting the top chefs, house managers, housekeeping, concierge and major hookups and access for you when you’re on your holiday, to as complex sourcing homes in conflict areas that are not on the market for rent, hiring private security with experience protecting the US army in Iraq, and putting in infrastructure from power generators, water pumps, professionally stocked kitchens, Frette linens and details that will take existing homes to levels they’ve never seen before. We’ve even re-done immigration to create VIP services in one country. We are the only travel company in the market who is doing this type of bespoke pop up hotel experience. PRIVATE CONCIERGE AND CHEF SERVICES

The red carpet is the part everyone sees. These five rooms are where the night actually happens.

The Mark is where the glam teams work before anyone steps outside. Zero Bond has a discreet door, no photography, and couches built for conversation. The Twenty Two is where editors and models finally let their hair down. Bemelmans at The Carlyle still does classic New York better than anywhere. And Casa Cipriani handles Leonardo DiCaprio and Taylor Swift in the same room without anyone noticing.

They operate year-round. The guest list just gets denser one night in May.

Nobody looks their best after eleven hours in a seat. There are ways around it.

Our staff writer Em Marie has five go-tos for long-haul travel, and none of them require a gym or an apology to the person next to you. Calf raises every few hours to keep the swelling down. Ankle rolls to counter the salty food. Spinal roll downs against a wall during your layover. Shoulder rolls whenever you remember.

And the one that actually matters most: legs up against a wall for fifteen minutes the night you land. Models and athletes swear by it.

One rule throughout, keep breathing. Don’t hold it.

Save this before your next flight. Full guide, link in bio.

Celebrity-owned w**eries are something else entirely.

A famous face sells a bottle. Building a real estate takes land, patience, and a willingness to wait decades for a return.

Sting and Trudie Styler were served a "house w**e" while touring the Tuscan estate they were considering, then learned it was a Barolo from Piedmont. They bought the place and replanted the vineyards anyway. Coppola spent 36 years reassembling Inglenook after buying it with Godfather money. Pink bought 25 acres sight unseen, pruned the vines herself, and took w**emaking classes until she earned the w**emaker title outright.

These aren't labels with a name attached.

Which one would you open first?

New York doesn't need to try too hard. It has a confidence that's effortless, and every so often you find a neighborhood restaurant that reminds you why you live here.

Cafe Mulberry is so French it hurts, and so New York at the same time. A townhome on a residential Nolita street, maybe a dozen tables, no bar in the room. The salade vert alone tells you everything about the kitchen: butter lettuce, watercress, soft herbs, and a vinaigrette that's nearly impossible to get exactly right.

The w**e list skips anything predictable. We ended up with a Premier Cru Burgundy originally made for the Major Food Group guys, which technically doesn't exist for public purchase.

Downstairs, Bar Mulberry is a destination of its own. Open late, industry crowd, lights even lower.

8.4/10. Worth the 35-minute Uber from the Upper West Side.

Comporta has spent a decade earning the title "Hamptons of Portugal." Thirty minutes south, Melides is quietly building its own following, minus the crowds.

Quinta Amala sits right in the middle of it. Rice fields rolling toward hidden beaches. Cabanas that are small by design and never feel it. A breakfast worth the stay on its own, and a dinner menu so short there isn't a dish you'd swap out.

The owner walks you through the property herself on arrival, drink already in hand. You arrive tense from travel and leave a decibel calmer, without ever pinpointing exactly what did it.

Roughly 80 miles from Lisbon. Go before everyone else does.
