Shishi-Iwa House (SSH), which is nestled in a nature sanctuary in Karuizawa, Japan, brought together six top chefs for a private culinary retreat last fall. The objective? To gain some inspiration and explore their creativity in this tranquil, design-driven setting. Shishi-Iwa House is a collection of three architectural masterpieces designed by Pritzker Prize laureates Shigeru Ban and Ryue Nishizawa. The unique boutique hotel is about an hour’s train ride from Tokyo.

Tucked away amidst the vibrant rhythm of Sài Gòn Ward, Hotel Indigo Saigon The City reimagines the purpose of an event space—not simply as a venue, but as a canvas for storytelling, where memories are awakened, emotions stirred, and every detail pulses with meaning.

A stone’s throw from Khem Beach, JM Boutique Hotel offers more than a stay: it offers a philosophy of living. Crafted by two sisters, Joanna and Małgorzata, therefore the name of JM, their vision was clear from the beginning - to create a harmonious space for both guests and nature itself, showcasing the boutique essence of hospitality. The result is a 28-room sanctuary that blends ecoconscious design, heartfelt hospitality, and island simplicity into a retreat where life slows, breath deepens, and beauty endures.
