Refined retreat
An old family pile, stripped back to reveal its former glory, starts a new chapter as a hotel.
Destination: Japan
A new chic hotel is set to revive Onomichi, a sleepy port town in Hiroshima prefecture flanked by hills and historic temples.
Invite yourself in
Turn the page for the latest hotel openings and travel news from around the globe. First we’re in the English city of Cambridge, where we visit a revitalised Edwardian grande dame.
In the shadows
Private detectives are almost as mysterious as the cases they solve. We go undercover with a Parisian sleuth.
Gallic charms
A covetable collection of superior stationery, quirky homeware and fun-loving accessories. Plus some beautifully packaged chocolate for the sweet of tooth (and discerning of taste).
Culture
A round-up of the best French television, film, music and media. Plus: art from New York and Ukraine.
Shop
Retailers have shut up shop and moved online. These firms buck the trend, inviting customers to see, smell, hear – and try on – their wares.
The opener
We consider the loss of Cairo’s Maspero Triangle and dabble with dance. But first up: Miami finds the art in parking, Swiss gallerists have a Highland fling and Lewis Hamilton drives his point home.
