Grand Hyatt Expands Global Presence With a Dozen New Openings Through 2027

The Danish brand Vipp was founded in 1939 with a single design: a waste bin. In the decades since, its product line has expanded to include a full furniture range, lighting and home accessories. In 2014, Vipp opened its first guesthouse, a contemporary prefab cabin near Lake Immeln, in southern Sweden. It now runs nine vacation rentals in Europe and, as of today, is taking reservations for its first in North America, a five-bedroom home in Todos Santos on the Pacific Coast of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. Sofie Christensen Egelund, the third generation co-owner of Vipp, was introduced to the region by the Mexico City-based architect Pablo Pérez Palacios, who’s behind the property’s design. The 3,800-square-foot home has a rooftop pool and open interiors that highlight natural materials: The walls are made of rammed earth, while window shutters are woven from branches of the local Palo de Arco tree. Furnishings include some of Vipp’s own pieces as well as the brand’s signature kitchen, a modular system with minimalist hardware. Pérez Palacios sees the final space as “an ongoing dialogue between Mexican and Danish design sensibilities.”

Few things in life are better than getting a great gift from someone you care about — especially when it's the gift of travel. Travel is a gift that keeps on giving and lasts way longer than expensive skin care products or kitchen gadgets that end up untouched in a random drawer. In fact, a recent survey from Hyatt found that 85% of consumers would rather receive a trip or vacation than a physical gift this holiday season.

I'd spent years as an executive in Southern California, and I had a retirement plan in place for quite some time.
