Reports on stays, tables, places, and notes gathered for later reading.
Places
The escape at Amangiri
On 900 acres of the Colorado Plateau, the luxury is not the suite. It is the afternoon that has nowhere else to go.
Places
Selling What Isn't There
What luxury hospitality means today
Stays
Casa Verde, and the long morning in Oaxaca
A courtyard stay where breakfast arrives slowly and the rooms open onto lime trees.
Tables
Eight seats at a long table in Lisbon
A small dining room above the market, with sardines, citrus, and a kitchen in full view.
Places
A Kyoto lobby after the rain
Wet stone, cedar, and a welcome that starts with a towel for damp sleeves.
Stays
Pool hour above the Amalfi coast
Late light on the water, towels folded once, and a terrace left mostly alone.
Tables
Breakfast facing the harbor
Rye, soft eggs, and a window seat that looks onto the morning ferry traffic.
Notes
Notes from a desert inn
Cool rooms, a short walk to the rocks, and evenings spent outside under a clear sky.
