A luxe new life for a storied hotel: Madrid's Westin Palace moves to The Luxury Collection

While numerous excellent new hotels have arrived recently in New York City, there's something extra special about the reimagining of an old classic—particularly when it's a piece of Manhattan history like the Waldorf Astoria. After a massive restoration project, the hotel reopens its doors this spring with revamped Art Deco-style interiors courtesy of designer Pierre-Yves Rochon; a 30,000-square-foot spa; and a two-story brasserie where guests can sip martinis below an opulent chandelier.

Whenever I pack for a trip—be it a quick weekend upstate or a no-holds-barred vacation abroad—I have the habit of letting my anxiety stuff my bags for me. Quite literally, it’s the albatross that hangs around my travels: I either end up lugging my excessive “just in case” items wherever I go, or constantly shrug a large bag suddenly made awkward by its emptiness onto my shoulder. That is, until I met the Foldie bag—the weekender that contains my plans A through Z and moonlights as a demurely compact handbag.

The sun had begun its leisurely descent over Bodrum Town on a September afternoon when I started going back over my list, making sure I hadn’t missed anything. A stroll along the marina, pausing to take a video of a forest of Turkish flags fluttering in the wind: check. Bites of kabak cicegi dolmasi and enginar kalbi on the terrace of a restaurant overlooking gulets bobbing in the harbor below: delicious. Browsing leather shoes and handwoven towels in the labyrinthine bazaar: my credit card statement would attest to that. Satisfied, I started mapping out the route back to the hotel, working in a stop at a posh Turkish delight shop a friend in New York had recommended. I turned to my mom, ready to lead her out of the bazaar, when I noticed her hesitate.
