Amankila, Bali

Several multi-generation families are plotting 2026 Edinburgh Fringe Festival the ONLY place to stay is our favorite Balmoral, a Rocco Forte Property. With the Finale at Fife Arms – one of my favorite hotels in the world.

Again & Still: Mexico City – when your 93 your old mother travels with her kids and grandkids, all I can say is Brava – and Feliz Navidad  Christmas in Mexico City at our favorite Casa Polanco – we deserve a small plaque for all of our bookings this year! When the gracious GM sends us gifts, you know they appreciate our clients.

Santiago – Skip the snow and follow the sun to Latin America -Still one of my favorite properties is Vina Vik- trading cold for sunshine is always appealing to me. The road less traveled, and well worth the two-hour drive south of the capital city of Santiago; the road delivers one to the rambling mountainous Millahue Valley. Once you turn off the highway to the single lane dirt road, the scenery and traffic change – cars and old ranch trucks are interspersed with huaso’s on horseback herding cows down the dusty road. VIK Chile, the most luxurious hotel in Chile, will inspire you to switch off and unwind. Located at the top of a hill in the middle of the valley, very close to the Andes Mountain Range, Vik Chile boasts 360º panoramic views of the vineyards, the striking VIK Winery, is a unique destination in Chile. The luxurious, original rooms invite you to rest and indulge all your senses in a one-of-a kind experience.

An easy flight from Santiago to Mexico, trek onward to one of our personal favorite hotels, Four Seasons Tamarindo – cliffside suites with infinity pools dangling over the sea! Cooking classes, golf if you must…Tamarindo is a showcase of five of the most well-respected architecture and design firms in Mexico, who came together to create a resort that blends seamlessly with the peninsula’s topography, supports re-wilding and blurs boundaries between indoors and out. Their commitment to authentically Mexican architecture results in a mosaic of pre-Hispanic culture, colonial heritage, and contemporary architecture.

Kusama’s first solo presentation in Northern California encompasses two Infinity Mirror Rooms, including her newest room, Dreaming of Earth’s Sphericity, I Would Offer My Love (2023), a cosmos of dancing color and light.

LOVE IS CALLING (2013), the second room in the presentation — and one of Kusama’s largest and most immersive works — features a darkened environment illuminated by vividly colored inflatable forms that extend from the floor and ceiling accompanied by the sound of the artist reciting a poem about love.

“Dots are symbols of the world, the cosmos. The Earth is a dot, the moon, sun, the stars are all made up of dots. You and me, we are dots.”

— Yayoi Kusama
