A milestone birthday demanded something extraordinary. What followed was 60 minutes above the Tuscan hills with a glass of Brunello in hand — and a morning I'll never stop talking about.
The Savoy ballroom. Four Seasons Trinity Square. Primrose Hill at night. A love letter from someone who never quite left.
The Lounge that returning regulars treat as their NYC living room. The new Silk Road speakeasy where Wednesday belongs to live jazz. The Top Pick of the year.
The private lagoon, the in-water massage, the cave saunas — and what lies beyond the gate into the Blue Lagoon itself.
Standing at the place where a chieftain threw the Norse gods into the torrent — and Iceland became a different country.
Sunset Tower Hotel — the Tower Bar, Dimitri, and why Hollywood's most powerful room has only gotten better with time.
Walking the Mendenhall Glacier from a Celebrity Retreat Suite — five first-timers, helicopter onto ancient ice, and the contrast that makes Alaska the trip of a lifetime.
