The End of Summer
Summer is slowly slipping away (say it ain't so!), and to celebrate the close of our favorite season, we're presenting some of our favorite hotels in New York, Las Vegas, London, and Turkey. We're also featuring a Costa Rican surf school, a true African experience in Kenya, and even a Bikini Bootcamp in Mexico. It's going to be quite an autumn.
Glass and Steel Meet the LES
Hotel on Rivington - New York
Now Live
New York's Lower East Side has always been an immigrant neighborhood, offering a chance for reinvention to anyone bold enough to take it. It's a place that changes constantly, where downtown fashion, music and art now collide between old tenements and glass-and-steel towers. In recent years, it's shown up on tourist maps, thanks to the hip property that arrived here first: the Hotel on Rivington.

An Urban Sanctuary in a Bangkok Skyscraper
Anantara Bangkok Sathorn
Now Live
When this contemporary design hotel in twin 37-story skyscrapers opened, it received rave reviews for its on-site spa and fastidious, here-to-please staff - and that's saying something in a country known as "the land of smiles." In Bangkok's chaotic downtown heart, the Anantara Bangkok Sathorn is within easy
access of the financial and shopping districts, but it's also a great urban sanctuary to begin or end a Thai adventure.

Classic Prep in New England
Basin Harbor Club - Vermont Starting Thursday 1/9 at 5pm BST
Get fully immersed in old New England when you join this "club," which has been around for more than a century. On a winding road that ends at Lake Champlain, the resort is actually a sprawling collection of cottages and guesthouses with inn-type rooms clustered around a harbor. With tennis courts, a championship golf course and a private airstrip, it's a preppy scene; we're talking coats and ties each evening for guys 12 and older in the main dining room. That said, it's not stuffy. Visitors bring their dog, their kids or both. It's an only-in-Vermont air of refined chaos and downright cheerful surroundings.

Atlantic Ocean Views in the Algarve
Cascade Wellness - Portugal
Now Live
The approach to Cascade Wellness and Lifestyle Resort is misleadingly urban, for once you climb the steep steps and enter through the beautifully designed portico, the view is of miles of open ocean. On a cliff edge above the Atlantic Ocean, this sport-and-spa-focused resort is just a few minutes from the historic town of Lagos and the golden beaches and natural parks of the still-pristine western Algarve.

Bodrum's Hot Spot
Macakizi Hotel - Turkey
Now Live

London's Restored Belle-Epoque Beauty
Corinthia Hotel London
Now Live
Corinthia Hotel London is one of the latest luxury hotels to (re-)open in the soon-to-be Olympic capital in the space of a year. Fresh from a major restoration and refurbishment, the Belle Epoque property houses 294 rooms, some on two levels in rooftop turrets, and a David Collins-designed bar and restaurant. But the showstopper is Espa Life, a four-story "next-generation" spa with an amphitheater sauna.
