Behind The Scenes Of Gray Malin’s Luxury Photo Shoot On St. Barts

Belmond's Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is set to launch an extravagant new rail itinerary that combines riding one of the world’s most storied trains with a glamorous European ski trip.

Imagine taking nearly three months to meander across Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, reveling in the romantic atmosphere of first-class train travel all the while. From your individual suite on board—or a seat in a gleaming bar car—you’d soak in the unique landscapes of each continent that whoosh past your window, making stops to explore historical marvels, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and picturesque cities.

Luxury trains can easily compete with five-star hotels these days. They boast beautiful living quarters and around-the-clock services, exquisite design, and just as many comforts as you’d find in a ritzy presidential suite in New York or Paris.

While metropolises like New Delhi and Mumbai continue to be on the travel list, leisure destinations like Udaipur, Puri, Goa, Jaipur and Munnar are some of the top searched domestic destinations during the festive season (between November 10-14), according to Booking.com.

There’s been a rockslide somewhere in the Maurienne Valley, deep in the French Alps. By the time I’m due to set off on an intricately planned, early autumn European rail trip from London to Athens, nearly a week has passed since the incident. My intended path through France, Italy and then on to Greece via sea had relied on a connection from Lyon to Milan passing directly through this region. Now the route is out of action and it could be months before the railway tracks are dug out from the rubble. Initially, I’m irate. En route to the Eurostar terminal at London’s St Pancras at 6.30am, however, I encourage myself to think differently.

The No. 1 visited city in the world will be adding millions more travelers to its regular intake next summer during the Olympic Games from July 26 to August 11. If you're planning on going to Paris during this time, here's what to know about hotel prices, finding tickets to events and bed bug predictions.

A common alternative to doing all of the Thanksgiving cooking and cleanup at home is to take it on the road, choosing one of the many restaurants or resorts in the U.S. that feature traditional Thanksgiving menus. But another option is to combine the feast of the day and a travel destination outside of the U.S. at a time when prices are lower and crowds are fewer. These four locales provide exactly that.

There’s no shortage of chic hotels in Paris. But very few offer the comfort and intimacy of a luxurious Parisian apartment coupled with the five-star service of a top hotel. That is, except for the Hotel San Régis, the iconic 100-year-old gem in the tony eighth arrondissement that’s hosted the likes of Richard Avedon, Lauren Bacall, Gene Kelly, Louis Malle, Jacqueline Bisset, Romy Schneider and more.

When Sophie Calle was six years old, her father framed a drawing she made. Her grandmother responded enthusiastically, declaring that there appeared to be “a Picasso in the family”.

Picture it: After years of fantasizing and months of planning, you finally arrive at the destination you've always dreamed about. Except, it's just not how you pictured it.

The Dominican Republic is on a mission to reclaim its spot on the map for French tourists. During the IFTM Top Resa 2023 tourism fair in Paris, the country showcased its commitment to attracting more French visitors.

Within the last decade, cocktail bars in Asia have firmly stepped out from behind the shadows of their Western counterparts. What was once a handful of acclaimed establishments in developed hubs like Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong has flourished into a continent-wide wave of progressive bars known not only locally but globally for sustainable innovation as well as distinct, culture-specific takes on mixology with local ingredients.
