EVA Air plans new business suites, eyes Boeing 777 cabin refresh — and 3 new US cities

There’s never a wrong time of year to visit the Berkshires, the mountainous stretch of western Massachusetts located just 140 miles north of New York City. You can thank the fall’s vibrant display of foliage, summer’s Tanglewood music festival that draws crowds from all over the world, and a steady tide of new hotel openings to take advantage of as cozy winter getaways and for ski season. The region also has strong roots as an artists community, with a robust community of galleries, independent boutiques, and museums. And for city dwellers looking to stretch their legs, the Berkshires is also home to scenic hiking trails and winter slopes for every activity and ability level.

Germany’s got a big secret: It’s got islands. And not the rocky, desolate, and uninhabited kind, but islands with miles of sandy beaches, picturesque cliffs, peaceful, protected forests, and seaside luxury hotels. The Germans obviously are in the know, and because of their geographical locations, the Dutch and Danes are, too. But nobody else in in the world seems to remember that Germany has a coastline on both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, let alone that this coastline is peppered with dozens of islands. The biggest of all the German islands is Rügen in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, itself a wildly underrated area. While Rügen takes a little effort to get to, the trip is hardly insurmountable, and travelers who want to see Germany away from the big urban centers, internationally known beer festivals, and packed tourist attractions would be remiss to pass on it.

W Minneapolis–The Foshay has been a part of the Minneapolis skyline for nearly a century in the iconic Foshay Tower. This storied but hip property is located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. It is, by all means, a Midwest landmark—using the original elements of its Art Deco design paired with a modern air of trendiness, tying everything together to create an air of timelessness. The towering structure’s 10-foot tall “FOSHAY” letters can be seen bright and proud from across the city (it’s still the only rooftop sign in downtown Minneapolis), symbolizing its continuing legacy in the city’s skyline.
