Casa Cipriani, a private members-only club that's equal parts sophisticated dining hub and boutique hotel, is set to debut in late summer for those who want more exclusive stays. Cipriani, which boasts five Manhattan sites and outposts in nine worldwide cities, including Ibiza, Moscow, Monte Carlo, and Mexico City, to mention a few, is the epitome of Old New York glamor.  offers Casa Cipriani is taking over one of the last remaining Beaux Arts–style ferry docks, the Battery Maritime Building, which was built in 1906 and restored by New York-based architecture company Marvel, for its new downtown haunt, designed by Thierry Despont. The exquisite social club has 47 rooms and suites, as well as several eateries and beverage outlets (including a jazz cafe) and a heated pool, diner, and bar on the landscaped rooftop, which will open later this year with stunning East River views.

Manhattan, a 13,5-mile-long island, is one of the biggest cities in the world — ask every New Yorker. She has it all, after all: Broadway's slew of emotional productions; Michelin-starred restaurants offer dinner well into the middle of the night; Fashion Week – people who see the streets and hotels world famous for New Yorkers' abandonment of high-rises and brownstones for their much-needed stay.  land Notwithstanding what some believe, New York was never dead – even after over a year of social distancing and shutting up business, the city that never sleeps is alive and well. And these brand-new Manhattan and Brooklyn hotels (and Roosevelt Island) are proof. From a historic landmark converted in 1907 on Fifth Avenue to a Beaux Arts-style former ferry terminal in downtown, these high-class hotels celebrate the colorful New York culture. Located between the bustling district of theatre, and the up-coming Hudson Yards neighbourhood, Arlo Midtown new building, opened at the end ...

Surprisingly, design fairs aren't often held in especially inviting (or design-forward) locations. I can't say I'm yearning to return to the gloomy, interminable halls of New York's Javits Center, Milan's Fiera, or Paris's Parc des Expositions, where I've easily tallied five hours of appointments without peeking out a single window to the outside after more than a year of canceled events. But last weekend, as things began to return to “normal,” whatever that means, I found myself at a different kind of design fair, agua fresca in hand, surveying new furniture, lighting, textiles, and accessories amid the blazing sun and crashing waves at architect Alfonso Quiones's Casa Naila in Puerto Escondido, Mexico. It was the first edition of Mexico Design Fair, a pre-pandemic concept that emphasized an appealing location, an intimate guest list of collectors and design insiders, and the current crop of Mexican-made items, all at a time when the country's desig...
