A Brief History of KLM's Delft House Collectibles

A group of women guests sued AirBnb after claiming their Michigan rental was full of bats that attacked them in bed, a lawsuit seen by Insider said.

Sat next to an estuary opposite Beaulieu Abbey and Lord Montagu's home, Palace House, The Montagu Arms Hotel, is a boutique bolthole at the heart of Beaulieu village on the southeastern edge of the New Forest National Park.

The story of Alcatraz is a fascinating dive into US history. 

The village of Salto de Castro in Zamora in the northwest of the country made headlines last year when it went on the market for just €260,000 - less than the average price of an apartment in Barcelona.

Soon after the death of Sarah Winchester in San Jose, California, in 1922, the new owners opened her mansion as an attraction for tourists drawn to tales of the bizarre. Winchester was the heir to the gun manufacturer’s fortune, and rumors swirled around her constant home building and renovation. She constructed elaborate extra rooms (more than a hundred), stairs that led nowhere, and empty corridors that turned the house into a bewildering maze.

JetBlue is asking the U.S. Department of Transportation to ban KLM from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in the event JetBlue can no longer fly out of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) due to the Dutch airport's proposed efforts to reduce flight capacity.

For the last five decades, the Sydney Opera House has been a global spectacle: with its whimsical rooftop sails and prime location on the Sydney Harbour, it has become not only the city's most recognizable symbol, but that of all of Australia. While presiding over the building's October 20, 1973, opening, the late Queen Elizabeth II called it “unique”—and while its architecture certainly remains a standout feature, what makes the structure truly forward-thinking is the degree to which Danish architect Jørn Utzon drafted it with sustainability in mind.

The pandemic can be blamed for a lot of things, but one positive outcome are some of the changes in the way we now travel. One growing trend – as a result of having been grounded for so long, no doubt – is the fact that many of us want to travel deeper and stay longer in a given destination. Dubbed ‘slow travel’, this way of traveling allows us to get under the skin of a place and connect properly with a locale. Not only does this benefit local communities, as travelers tap into small businesses and local tour companies, but it also has an abundantly positive effect on travelers, who come away feeling enriched and enlightened by their authentic experiences.

Few cities are as naturally spectacular as Rio. Flanked by the Atlantic and Guanabara Bay, backed by jungle-furred peaks and strung together with miles of creamy sand, this is a place of singular beauty. The beachside neighbourhoods are the obvious areas to stay: legendary Copacabana, quieter Leme and trendier Ipanema, the gateway to Rio’s western beaches. Don’t write off inland, though — over the past decade, a new, boutique-style hotel scene has emerged. High above the historic centre, Santa Teresa is Rio’s boho bastion. Directly below is nightlife-central Lapa. 

Located roughly halfway between Paris and Amsterdam, the city of Brussels is often overlooked in favor of those two European tourism heavyweights. But Brussels has much to offer in its own right, and is a terrific base from which to explore some of Belgium’s most beautiful cities. During my recent visit to the unofficial capital of Europe, I had the pleasure of staying at the historic and charming Hotel Amigo, a member of the Rocco Forte family of hotels and The Leading Hotels of the World.

A few bad apples can unfortunately ruin things for all of us.
