The Gran Hotel Domine
At last, a hotel that reflects Bilbao's status as a newly cool capital of Euro art and architecture. The Gran Hotel Domine, which opened in July, is one of the city's most impressive design statements since . . . well, since Frank Gehry put the last titanium panel on the Guggenheim Bilbao in 1997 and forever changed the face of architecture.
Before the Guggenheim, this small provincial capital attracted mainly shipbuilders, sailors, and a few intrepid gourmets making the pilgrimage to sample Basque cuisine, arguably Spain's best. Now Bilbao has a sleek Santiago Calatrava-designed airport terminal with direct connections to major European capitals, and a week's worth of very good restaurants. But until now there hasn't been anywhere chic to lay your head.
Audaciously plunked down within 100 feet of Gehry's extravaganza, the Domine is clad in six stories of black-mirrored windows that reflect the museum on the outside and frame it for knockout guestroom views. The first hotel by noted Barcelona artist-designer Javier Mariscal (in an unlikely partnership with the otherwise nondescript three- and four-star Spanish Silken hotel chain), it is a boldly original creation worthy of its neighborhood.
At its core is a sinuous six-story atrium traversed from floor to skylight by Cypress Fossil, a cypress-shaped sculpture of rocks bound within a wire mesh,michael kors outlet onilne. Like the red figure-eight sofa at reception and the lamps, fabric headboards, and huge armchairs in the 134 rooms and 11 suites, the sculpture is by Mariscal. The rest of the furnishings are selections from the classics in 20th-century design��Arne Jacobsen sinks, Alvar Aalto shower stools, scarlet sofas from Ron Arad,michael kors factory outlet, and the Hat Trick Chair from Gehry himself, wittily placed in the library to look out at the Guggenheim. It's essential that you do too, so be sure to book a museum-facing room.
On the fourth and fifth floors,michael kors handbags outlet, one gets a compelling sense of the Guggenheim's scale. From room 418, you can lie back in your Philippe Starck bathtub and look out the window directly into the eyes of Puppy, a giant, gloriously kitsch "flower" sculpture by Jeff Koons. The sixth-floor Gran Suite Domine has its own balcony and deck with the ultimate view. Colors throughout the hotel are bright and strong; rooms come with five-star amenities like wool-cashmere spreads,night and day. In the women's half, a selection of pillow styles, and Internet-access TVs.
The food at the Domine is excellent (a good thing, since it took four tries to get room service��an example of the frustratingly patchy service experienced on a visit soon after the hotel opened, but which seemed to have more to do with linguistic barriers than attitude). In addition to the black-and-chrome-walled Caf�� Metropol, with furnishings from a who's who of Bauhaus designers, there's the restaurant Beltz the Black, whose consulting chef, Jos�� Ram��n Berriozabal, is one of Spain's top chefs. The minimalist Basque cuisine features local delicacies unadorned with flashy sauces, such as delectable bacalao (salted cod) and kokotxas de merluza (hake jaw muscle with a morsel of flesh on either side). On the roof terrace, new in November, there will be breakfast service and a glassed-in gym where guests (including folks like Calvin Klein and chic hotelier Ian Schrager, who booked rooms for the September opening of the Guggenheim's Rubens show) can work out in full view of the hotel's grand neighbor.
The food is a good reason to choose the Domine over the Mir��, another contemporary hotel also putting its money on the Guggenheim view. Scheduled for a late-October opening, it was designed by Spanish fashion king Toni Mir�� with a fashionista-hip aesthetic. In such a setting, though, we can't help preferring the Domine's paean to the greats of modern design. Rooms, $180-$885. At 61 Alameda Mazarredo; 34-94-425-33-00; .

Everybody loves a comeback kid, and for many, Their Eyes Were Watching God is a particular favorite.

The Bentley Suite at The St. Regis
Bruce Buck
Driving a luxury car and relaxing in a high-caliber hotel suite are two experiences worth doing often. Thankfully, they blend into one at the new Bentley Suite at The St. Regis New York—a partnership that pulls hallmarks from both brands into a 1,700-square-foot abode that echoes the British carmaker’s wares.
The one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath suite sits on the 15th floor. (New York–based Wimberly Interiors collaborated on the design.) Wood, metal and Bentley Motors leather combine for a masculine feel with muscle that stays comfortably rich, thanks to high ceilings and silk wall coverings. A custom sleigh bed in the bedroom highlights Bentley burled wood, and the entryway wall features a diamond pattern stitched into tan leather in green—a signature of Bentley’s factory in Crewe,longchamp taschen, England. A chandelier over the dining room table calls to mind the insides of an engine.
“The goal was to produce a one-of-a-kind experience, only to be found in The St. Regis New York, which expressed the essence of each brand in a contemporary context,” says Paul H. F,catamaran cruises. Nash, general manager of the hotel.
Butler service and an in-suite Champagne bar are a few of the perks here, but access to the hotel’s 2013 Bentley Mulsanne—the first in the U.S.—might top them all,longchamp le pliage. Guests can make use of the car, outfitted with the St. Regis crest on its headrests and crystal Champagne flutes, by driving it a few blocks around the hotel or hiring a private driver for longer spins,longchamp outlet.

A vacation home in Pakistan’s Hindu Kush might not be for everyone, but for author, adventurer, and travel outfitter Jonny Bealby, it’s a part of life he most enjoys. Bealby heads up Wild Frontiers, a UK–based company that specializes in expeditions to physically demanding or politically contentious regions—Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent in particular. We recently traveled together from Srinagar, India, through Kashmir to the Nubra Valley, a mountain desert where India butts up against China and Pakistan. The valley, peppered with Buddhist monasteries, tapers off toward the Siachen Glacier,Longchamp le pliage, long considered the world’s highest-altitude war zone. When we reach the limit of permissible access, Bealby grows annoyed: “It’s crawling with army,” he says. “All these borders—they’re a pain in the ass,Longchamp taschen.”
Bringing clients to places most outfitters won’t touch, Bealby, 46, has loads of regulars for his trips—a riding safari in Kyrgyzstan, say, or downhill skiing in Kashmir. Some journeys are set-date group departures,44-20-758-97002, with ten-night prices starting at $3,000. Others are bespoke itineraries, and it’s for these that one really wants to book Bealby himself. His on-the-ground guides are extremely knowledgeable, but the experience of traveling with Bealby adds another dimension. He can recall obscure historical, political, and topographical facts (plus the names of friends in every village), and he tells adventure stories aplenty—more, even, than those he’s already packed into his three published books. Bealby will lead three set-departure trips in 2010; his private guiding services begin at $600 a day (44-207/736-3968,Longchamp le pliage; )

For textiles and custom-made clothes, Shi Liu Pu Fabric Market ($ 168 Dong Men Rd.) is the place to go in Shanghai: four floors and about 300 shops selling cloth, from peasant-print cottons to traditional Chinese silk. Most have a tailor on premises and an extensive design-inspiration look book, and finished items can be dropped off at visitors’ hotels the next day. I’ve found these favorites during my years as a designer.
For bespoke button-down shirts, the best is Jazz Tailor Made Shirts ($ shop no. 115), where clients can choose the type of collar, cuff, cloth, and cut. And for businessmen and women, Shanghai Double Win Dress ($ no. 143) specializes in custom suits. As its name suggests, Chinese Traditional Fabric (no. 105) sells all types of Asian prints and makes lovely handbags and jackets, while Hang Zhou Guo Da Silk Brocade ($ no. 123) sews a very pretty qípáo—a high-neck mandarin-collar dress—from its seemingly endless yards of silk.
Then there’s Dean Ding ($ 86-137/9521-2352), a textile guru and tailor who takes high-profile clients fabric shopping for her custom designs, which Ding then tailors to a perfect fit,north of I-90.
If the scale of the market still overwhelms, I have two suggestions,Longchamp le pliage. At 2002 Hai Shang-Ming Qing (201 Chang Le Rd.) there are traditional Chinese prints and ready-made women’s pieces. The delicate craftwork in their jackets and qípáo linings is exquisite. And for men, The Executive by T & Co. (59 Maoming Nan Rd.), on Shanghai’s version of Savile Row,longchamp outlet, is a standout for suits,Longchamp le pliage.

And don’t forget the moon

Before your treatment even begins in the , you’ll hear the gentle striking of a special metal bowl and notice the resonant vibrations ring out,longchamp outlet. This doesn’t mean dinner’s being served―it’s just one of the many celestial themes behind our world-class spa,Longchamp taschen.
The bowl―based around the earth’s gravity―is said to bring you into a relaxed and meditative state. After the treatment, you’ll hear another bowl to gently prepare the body and mind to leave the spa. It comes from the belief that the water in our cells vibrates at frequencies in relation to the earth, the concept of “singing” bowls has been applied to everything from NASA astronauts to Olympic athletes.
And don’t forget the moon: it’s also said that lunar energies are so strong that the phase of the moon and its place in the zodiac determine the best times to start something new, care for the body, regenerate the mind or indulge in something special,longchamp taschen,stay-at-home moms. In this spirit, Four Seasons offers different treatments during the new, waxing, full and waning stages of the moon, maximising the impact of treatments on both body and mind. So when the closing bowl strikes, you’ll be in touch with the earth, the moon and everything in between.

Bengali villagers have long made the textile called kantha, originally using silk threads from worn saris to embroider figurative designs (birds,Longchamp taschen, fish, dancers) into layers of cotton. In recent decades the craft has been reinvented with quality materials and contemporary patterns. Kanishka’,longchamp le pliage,eight tweeters;s (2/1 Hindusthan Rd.; ) has some of the finest, plus printed and dyed pieces; Shamlu Dudeja sells stunning kantha from her home through her NGO Self Help Enterprises (4/1 Alipore Park Rd.; ); and the Crafts Council of West Bengal’,longchamp outlet;s Artisana (13 Chowringhee Terr.; ) stocks beautiful older kantha as well as a jumble of traditional weaves and objects.
furnished with Chinese painted cabinets

Nov/Dec-1999
It had been one of those weeks that felt like a month, and it was still only Thursday, so we were seeking tranquillity when we checked into The Mark, a 180-room boutique hotel on Manhattan's Upper East Side. When the desk clerk mentioned that the Dalai Lama had recently checked out, I took it as an omen. I wanted his suite—for the calm he'd surely left there. But it was already taken,michael kors outlet onilne, although the clerk mollified me, as he handed me the keys to 1410, by saying the Dalai Lama had surely wrapped the entire hotel in tranquillity.
Number 1410 is the Presidential Suite. The italics are deliberate, intended to soften the loftiness. And in fact, aside from the marble foyer, which is decorated with watercolors of rooms in British palaces, the rooms are really more cozy than grand, furnished with Chinese painted cabinets, blue-and-white Chinese porcelain vases, and slate-blue velour couches and oversized armchairs. It was the perfect aerie from which to contemplate all the activity down there.
We had dinner at the bar at Daniel 2 ($150; 60 East 65th Street; 212-288-0033) that first night, settling into the red-and-blue-velvet banquettes for a sampling of Boulud classics: ravioli of nine herbs with chanterelles, stewed tomato, and zucchini flower; black sea bass in a crisp potato shell with leeks in a syrah sauce; peekytoe crab salad in a tomato gelée with fennel and avocado. There was a vivid parade of characters—a buxom blonde spilling out of her dress and a bushy-bearded ringer for Abe Lincoln, albeit in a white suit. For a nightcap we stopped in at The Carlyle's Bemelmans Bar.
Madison Avenue is now ground zero for luxury retailing in Manhattan, and on Friday we stopped in on two by-appointment-only establishments, starting with the estate-jewelry dealer Camilla Dietz Bergeron 1 (818 Madison Avenue,michael kors factory outlet, between 68th and 69th Streets; 212-794-9100) in her new, fourth-floor, cream-colored drawing room. Her collection is 90 percent estate, her taste 100 percent idiosyncratic but beautiful. We particularly liked an Art Deco diamond bracelet ($28,000) and a pair of carved citrine rhino cufflinks ($8,500). We also visited Fred Leighton (212-288-1872) and Demner (212-794-3786), two other estimable estate jewelers in the area, whose shops are filled with spectacular one-of-a-kind pieces.
We had a quick lunch at the new Le Charlot ($60; 19 East 69th Street; 212-794-6419) and found it to be a classic French bistro with some Asian touches (the mussels with cilantro and lemongrass were delicious)—but also with the surliest service this side of Paris. Then we spent the afternoon with our second by-appointment retailer, Michael Hall 1 (49 East 82nd Street; 212-249-5053), whose five-floor townhouse is virtually a museum. In fact, Hall has bequeathed the contents—treasures ranging from a Canaletto Venice scene; a silk carpet of gold and silver threads that once belonged to the Chinese Imperial Palace; bronze, silver, and gold medals,900 per person, some by Pisanello from the early Italian Renaissance; and dozens of important busts, bronzes, statues, drawings, and terra-cotta, marble, and porcelain objets—to the nearby Metropolitan Museum of Art. But until then, his clients can pick their way through the packed rooms.
By that night we were ready to go out and try someplace new. Cello ($124; 53 East 77th Street; 212-517-1200), only half a block from The Mark, had just received three stars from The New York Times and certainly looked promising: a handsome townhouse room of mahogany panels and suave gray banquettes. The staff was cordial and charming, and the menu sounded refined but adventurous. So we were stunned by how plain and bland the dishes actually were. Marinated ahi with daikon radish and caramelized lemon, one of the Times' recommended dishes, had first-rate ahi but tasteless accompaniments. The three bread-crusted fillets of John Dory came on a bare plate, with artichokes, chanterelles, and asparagus in a separate pan as though this were an arranged marriage and bride and groom were meeting for the first time. The green applewood semismoked salmon with pea shoots and osetra caviar was also a literal translation: the salmon, a dab of caviar, a few pea shoots. We chose what seemed to be the most popular dessert that night, "gruau of cacao with frozen crème br?lée" (thin chocolate tuiles that I'm convinced were filled with good old-fashioned vanilla ice cream—not crème br?lée).
We had absolutely no plans for Saturday, and resolutely resisted making any, instead browsing our way down Madison Avenue. (We loved the lush handbags with sculpted animal handles at Lee Wolfe, between 77th and 78th Streets; 212-396-1757.) But our Protestant work ethic would not quit, and we gave into the feeling that we had to do something worthwhile, so we went to the Frick Collection (1 East 70th Street; 212-288-0700) and did something I love to do—concentrate on one gallery, in this case the mint-green room with Watteau canvases. The frilly mood (maidens on swings and lovelorn swains) seemed the right note for a weekend of divertimento.
That evening we canceled our reservations at a trendy downtown restaurant and went downstairs to Mark's, where we had one of the best dinners ($110) we've had anywhere in Manhattan. The menu does not change that much—"The people who come here won't allow it," said Alain, our Toulouse-born waiter. And why fix it when the tuna carpaccio with cilantro and citrus slices had the zing that the ahi dish at Cello lacked; the pan-roasted lobster was tender, rich, and perfectly cooked; the chocolate gourmandise was everything it should be.
On our last morning we had breakfast delivered, read the papers on the terrace and tried to forestall the inevitable. Finally, at noon, we went downstairs to check out. As we did we had a fleeting glimpse of an Italian gentleman, movie-star handsome, and from the greetings by name from the concierges, a frequent guest. But what we noticed most was The Suit—gray silk, impeccably cut, and so beautiful my companion wanted to buy it on the spot. The concierge asserted that the suit was by Zegna (it turned out the wearer was Gildo Zegna) and suggested we round off our weekend by having Zegna come to us. "Stay another night, we'll have them send up some suits tomorrow," he said. "Several stores do that for us. You can do more shopping, and you won't have to go out." We came very, very close to saying yes,michael kors outlet.

When it comes to fine wine,Restaurants &, many consider the question of terroir or provenance neither here nor there,michael kors outlet onilne, accepting any glass as long as it packs a punch. (The proof is not in the pudding―the pudding is in the proof.) But to a certain order, the experience approaches the religious, and to close one’s eyes and drink deeply from a renowned vintage is to see the face of God. If you count yourself among the enlightened, a pilgrimage to a certain abbey near Epernay, France―freshly restored in loving historical detail―may be a source of spiritual ecstasy,michael kors factory outlet.
The Abbey of Saint-Pierre d’Hautvillers―a Benedictine monastery founded around 650―has attracted pilgrims for more than a millennium. While most have visited to pray at the relics of St. Helena, zealots of a different sort have also crowded its cloisters in modern times. The abbey happens to be the resting place of Dom Pérignon, the namesake of Mo?t & Chandon’s prestige cuvée and a leading contender for the patron saint of sparkling wine. Though Pérignon did not invent Champagne, he is often cited as its father because he perfected nearly all the techniques that go into making it―and he did so right in this monastery,michael kors outlet, whose vineyards and wine cellar he directed in the late 17th century.?
This month, more oenophiles than ever will come to pay their respects as Mo?t & Chandon completes the massive renovations it began in 2009. The project, in collaboration with architect Fran?ois Chatillon, required the use of master craftsmen, 17th-century methods and specially commissioned, antiquated tools. In a stunning feat of piety, Mo?t & Chandon has managed to restore the cloisters, the gardens, the wine rows, the library and the abbey’s famed Saint-Hélène portal to the state of grandeur that Brother Pierre Pérignon would have recognized.
Visitors seeking the vine inspiration will be happy to learn that the miracle is ongoing. Richard Geoffroy, chef de cave of Dom Pérignon, frequently walks the grounds when in search of new ideas. “The Hautvillers Abbey continues to inspire the creation of Dom Pérignon vintages,” he says. “It is essential to my work. This is where it all began.” For a tour, call the Mo?t & Chandon visitor’s center in Epernay at 31-3/26-51-20-00; .
