Rework it
Renovation can be a delicate balancing act between modern comforts and maintaining historical charm. We visit three European cities where carefully considered restorations are bringing buildings back to their former glory.
Hallowed ground
Designed by Vincent Van Duysen, the August hotel is a sanctuary worth seeking out.
Slice of the action
Great atmosphere, enchanting environment and – most importantly – delightful dishes. These openings from around the world have all three.
Off the beaten track
Seaweed farming in Patagonia, cave-dwelling in Italy and preserving ancient buildings in Japan: these hoteliers are reviving once-forgotten corners of their native lands with tasteful tourism for travellers seeking authenticity.
Travel
From a Virginia manor to an off-grid Swedish pad, here’s our round-up of new openings that have made their way onto our discerning hospitality radar.
Food & drink
Food finds from Atlanta and Amsterdam, plus how to make a crab and quail egg salad.
Travel
From Catskills lodges welcoming creative New Yorkers back to nature, to restored Japanese farmhouses and a eucalyptus-scented Portuguese hideaway — independent hotels are rewriting the rules of escape.
Paradise Aisles
By turning the weekly shop into a pleasurable, plentiful and people-focused experience, German mini-chain Zurheide is foretelling the future of the supermarket.
Travel
A secluded stay in Norway, an artsy spot in Italy and a waterside haven in Vietnam all feature in our pick of residences remote and remodelled.
Building society
A former construction yard has been brought back to life by businesses that are working together to grow – quite literally.
