Travel in city Chinatown

Kaula Lumpur – or KL as it’s widely known – is a fantastic mish-mash of grand late-nineteenth-century buildings, glassy skyscrapers and boisterous markets. From its ethnic enclaves (this is a melting pot of Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures) to its tantalizing cuisine, there’s much to see in this vibrant city – and as many places to bed down. Here’s our guide to where to stay in Kuala Lumpur.

While I admit I'm biased, Washington, DC, holds the key to my heart.

There’s a reason why Oʻahu is nicknamed the Gathering Place – it’s the Hawaiian island that has everything.

With a population of more than 11 million, greater Bangkok is a sprawling metropolis that can be traversed by taxi (car and motorcycle), túk-túk, bus and boat. So there is always a way to move around, but a little savvy will go along way to help you get from A to B safely and efficiently – the rules of the road tend to be suggestions, and sidewalks are an inconsistent presence (and sometimes even impromptu motorcycle roadways). 

To put it bluntly, Bangkok is a behemoth.

Ripley, Steve Zaillian’s eight-episode adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 novel The Talented Mr. Ripley, takes its protagonist on a jet-setting tour of Italy. After the titular con man (Andrew Scott) is hired by a wealthy New York socialite to bring his son Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn) back from Europe, Tom finds himself immersed in a precarious game of cat and mouse with the Italian police when he takes on Dickie’s identity to access his money. The story takes Tom from Manhattan to Italy, where he spends time in Atrani, Rome, Naples, San Remo, Palermo, and Venice. The series shot in many of the real places, including the real seaside town that takes over for the novel’s fictional setting of Mongibello.

Asian and Pacific Islander people have played a profoundly significant role in shaping American history, contributing to the rich heritage of the United States in countless ways.

It used to be that Bangkok’s weather was defined by three clearly demarcated seasons: the “cool,” the hot, and the wet, but these days locals like to joke that there is only hot, hotter and hottest. While it may be true that the Thai capital runs on a sultry high-flame sizzle most days, there are definitely seasonal differences, as well as compelling reasons to visit year round.

A destination rich in history and culture, Washington, D.C., has endless attractions. More than simply the nation’s capital, a politician’s escape or a school field trip destination, Washington has become a vibrant melting pot of excellent hotels, standout dining and ample cultural experiences.

As one of the oldest cities founded in the USA and considered by many to be the cradle of the American Revolution, Boston is a gift to history buffs.

Like the city itself, Houston’s Chinatown (also known as Asiatown) is vast and sprawling, an eight-mile stretch along Bellaire Boulevard on the southwest side of town. It also extends into Katy, known as “Houston’s second Chinatown,” in the Greater Houston area.

Jimmy Kimmel may get a bicoastal rep for being born in Brooklyn and now calling Los Angeles home—but he spent his formative years in Sin City, and he'll wax poetic about Las Vegas any chance he gets.

Spending time in Singapore can get expensive. In 2023, it tied with Zurich as the world's most expensive city, per the Economist Intelligence Unit.

London couple Fiona Evans and Josh Chan knew pretty early into wedding planning that the typical big English celebration wasn’t for them. “We started looking at venues, and in the United Kingdom, they're very expensive and they have a long waiting time—18 months to two years,” says Fiona, who works in tech. “We didn’t really fancy that.”

The hotel’s open layout maximizes a seamless flow between all spaces, creating a calming, uplifting atmosphere for everything from working to enjoying an after-hours cocktail.

Visitors to Canada are equally as wowed by the wildlife and wilderness as they are by the cultural and culinary offerings in the cities that speckle the sprawling nation.

November is a great month — and a hard month. It's a mix of cold air and elections, hearty meals with family, airport chaos and, if you're like me, lots of time spent scouring the internet for incredible travel deals in the days after Thanksgiving.

For all its bona fides—cleanest city, best airport, street food mecca—Singapore remains infamous for its prim veneer. Even the crowds at soccer games are polite. But projects like the Green Plan, a bold 10-year sustainable development program, show that change is underway. The latest ventures of young Singaporeans—dreamy restaurants, thoughtful tours, intimate home-dining experiences—reveal surprising sides of the city. Forward-looking hotels and the just-opened Thomson-East Coast MRT line, which snakes from the Orchard shopping belt through the culinary hub of Maxwell to the supertrees of Gardens by the Bay, invite visitors old and new. Less inhibited, more soulful: That's the Singapore of tomorrow.

Though its visitor numbers ebb and flow, Melbourne is a great city to visit any time of year.
