Renowned poet and writer, John Keats once expressed, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” As you browse through this issue, you will find beauty in its many diverse forms. The art of a meticulously set table, the visual composition of a gastronomic meal—beauty and the art of living are intrinsic elements of the hospitality experience. Art lifts the soul; a vivdly hued painting can elevate one’s moods, an ancient sculpture can illuminate and transport the imagination... I invite you to discover these wonders, and turn fleeting moments into lasting impressions.

Our cooperation with tastemakers at the forefront of style and legendary cultures allow us to provide one-of-a-kind services. In 1946, Christian Dior opened his first store on avenue Montaigne, opposite Hôtel Plaza Athénée. It was only natural that when Dior launched its first spa in 2008, the hotel was chosen as the perfect location. The Dior Spa at Hôtel Plaza Athénée was the first of its kind within a Parisian luxury hotel. This September, the spa unveiled a fresh new redesign, offering a modern, ultra-luxurious haven for wellbeing. (For more on The Dior Spa, see pages 38 - 39.) Another of our beloved properties, The Beverly Hills Hotel, was chosen by the iconic French fashion house as the location for its pop-up Dioriviera capsule collection, bringing the essence of french couture directly to our LA guests. The takeover saw the hotel’s iconic pool transformed with Dior’s pink and grey toile de Jouy print perfectly complementing our Pink Palace. A match made in heaven.

Stefano Ricci Explorer In spite of being a highly global brand—with 75 standalone boutiques around the world—Stefano Ricci remains a family business. Led by Stefano Ricci, his sons Niccolò Ricci and Filippo Ricci, as CEO and Creative Director respectively, ensure that luxury tailoring at this caliber are a legacy and a commitment. For their “Stefano Ricci Explorer” campaign, the mission is to explore the word to explore oneself. Starting in the ancient city of Luxor, and now from the glaciers of Iceland to the far-flung islands of the Galapagos, Stefano Ricci’s ultra-luxurious made-in-Italy clothing travel the globe. The brand also engages in wildlife preservation efforts in the places it goes. For F/W 202324, Iceland, a land of literal fire and ice, with its frozen caves and active volcanoes, is the backdrop for Stefano Ricci pieces; here, in the pure cashmere lining of a nylon coat or in the subtlety of a crocodile shirt-jacket, this elegant power of contrasts is reflected. stefanoricci.com
