“TO ME, LUCKY CAT IN MIAMI IS GORDON RAMSAY AS A FOODIE, AND FOR FOODIE LOVERS. THIS IS MY WHEELHOUSE.”
T
here is a tiny radius in Miami Beach, less than a quarter of a mile, that has become a culinary hot pocket, home to some of the biggest names in the industry. Here, dining institutions like Joe’s Stone Crab and Carbone, as well as Michelin-starred chefs like Jeremy Ford of Stubborn Seed, have created a gastronomical environment unlike anywhere else in the world, where globally acclaimed dishes are just steps away from one another. Now, taking a seat at the South of Fifth neighborhood (SoFi) table — and rightfully so — is multiMichelin-starred chef and food phenomenon, Gordon Ramsay. If I were to play the word association game with Ramsay, one word would immediately come to mind: fire. Perhaps it’s because of his recent opening of Hell’s Kitchen in Brickell or Boiling Point, the 1999 British television docuseries about him, but Ramsay exudes fiery passion. And this February, he’s turning up the heat in Miami with the opening of Lucky Cat in SoFi. His fire for the Miami opening is palpable over the phone. “This is one of the most exciting, one of the most adventurous openings I have ever done,” he admits within the first few seconds of our chat, professing this is his favorite US opening thus far. “Lucky Cat is a concept that has been in the works for the last 26 years,” he continues. “Conceptually, it’s a nod to Tokyo’s 1930s kissa and Shanghai drinking dens: it’s a buzzy lounge with an electrifying atmosphere and a menu that celebrates the diverse flavors and heroes of the culinary traditions across Asia. I spent the last two decades traveling across the continent, not focusing on just one region, but bringing together multiple regions to create an incredible array of flavors.” Indeed, Ramsay has spent the past several years perfecting Lucky Cat in its original location in London’s Mayfair neighborhood, followed by its second opening in Manchester. And now, for the first-ever outpost of Lucky Cat in the United States, a third “M-city” enters the scene. A coincidence? We think not. Miami was a city that Ramsay didn’t want to jeopardize. “We’ve had multiple offers to bring Lucky Cat to New York and requests to take it to Las Vegas, but the location that ultimately won it for me was Miami,” reveals Ramsay, who already has restaurants across 15 states. “I have been studying the Miami scene for the last four years, and the city has become a bit of a melting pot with the draw of restaurants within that radius, like Stubborn Seed, Carbone, and Papi Steak. The talent is unbelievable to be around,” he admits.
In true Ramsay fashion, when he first broke ground for Lucky Cat in Miami, he wandered next door to Stubborn Seed to say hello and wish continued success to another famed restaurateur. Because for him, that’s the way he wanted to open in Miami. “To me, Lucky Cat in Miami is Gordon as a foodie, and for foodie lovers. This is my wheelhouse.” Renowned for its more sophisticated and upscale feel compared to some of his other renowned dining institutions, Lucky Cat brings out a completely new dimension to Ramsay. In fact, it’s self-declared Ramsay at his best. So, what does Ramsay at his best look like exactly? From the moment you step into Lucky Cat, you’re instantly immersed in Tokyo, into a different era, and in a lavish ambiance where no detail goes unturned (down to the chopstick rests, which are miniature Maneki Neko, the actual lucky cat). “There’s a true plush feel in the Miami location,” Ramsay notes. “The furnishings are timeless. We invested in rich upholstery and velvet banquettes to create a classic luxury, affordable glam appeal. You walk into this space, and you are transcended beyond the restaurant and into a different country.” For Ramsay, the Miami location was about bringing over the intentional, elevated vibes he had already curated in Mayfair and Manchester, but “Miamifying” it of course. “First, with Lucky Cat in Mayfair, I wanted to come up with these more intimate tables and moments where we can pick off the menu for you, and where you become embedded into the culture and the kitchen.” Nestled within Lucky Cat Miami lie two major personal goals for Ramsay: the chef’s table and the sushi counter. Calling for a more intimate experience, these seating areas allow guests to engage with Ramsay’s interpretation of Asian-influenced cuisine. The menu offers classic Lucky Cat dishes for the UK-based clientele, while also introducing a few plates tailor-made to Miami like the Manilla wagyu roll, smoked Shima-aji nigiri, baked clay pot glass noodles with Maine lobster and five-spiced Berkshire pork belly, and lamb dumplings with Szechuan pepper, Thai basil, and lamb consommé. Ramsay then discloses some of his must-try dishes on the menu: “To start, we’ve put together the most gorgeous handmade crumpled dumplings, and I would also recommend the skewers (robata on the menu), the scallops, and the tempura as shared plates. Then, I would go for the clay pot glass noodles — they are exceptional.” @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 17

“TO ME, THE DRAW TO MIAMI IS THAT YOU GET TO WORK HARD AND PLAY HARD. MY JOB IS TO CREATE MOMENTS THROUGH DISHES ONE AT A TIME, AND THEY HAVE CUMULATED SO MANY INCREDIBLE MEMORIES.”

And the menu doesn’t stop at the food. Lucky Cat boasts an impressive beverage menu featuring a premium selection of Japanese whiskeys and sakes. Ramsay deems the “rice washed Gohan old-fashioned” a standout choice. In fact, it was while he was seated at the bar, nursing the old-fashioned and watching the bespoke Lucky Cat ice cube melt, that he himself got carried away, reminiscing about a time when he was in Tokyo, first igniting the fire to create Lucky Cat. Becoming a global ambassador for food and restaurants is actually one of Ramsay’s greatest achievements, among many other career milestones he has reached. “I sit with the development team on a weekly basis; we recently just got back from a beautiful bar and grill in Macau, China,” Ramsay reflects. “You never believe that you can become a global ambassador for food and concepts. This started back in 1998, when I opened Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea [his first solo restaurant at just 32 years old], and this year, we celebrate 25 years there and 24 years of having two Michelin stars [they now have three].” It’s at 32 that he had his “aha” moment, where he knew he had to ignite his culinary fire. For Ramsay, that meant traveling and teaching. “I had the hunger to cultivate back behind the line, to push and develop, to orchestrate and share what I was experiencing as I traveled the world. [Traveling and sharing my learnings] is what would become the foundation of this group. Now, I look at the homegrown talent in Miami, and the talent already landed at Hell’s Kitchen, and that’s when I pinch myself. I love being able to attract young, hungry, determined chefs.” Ramsay’s platform, which he has built over the last decades, now serves as a pedestal to lift others up. His main advice to chefs he trains and works with? Pressure is healthy; once again, lighting a bit of that “Ramsay fire” to inspire. The Magic City couldn’t be a better playground for Ramsay to continue burning, and he agrees: “Miami is a chef’s haven.” For Ramsay, the city is true paradise. “I will say this, I fell in love with Miami years ago,” he admits, speaking with admiration. “When my wife Tana and I were heading down to the Florida Keys, we would spent the last two nights of our holiday in Miami, and even then, in the early 2000s, you could start to anticipate the buzz of what is happening now.” And Ramsay loves the water. “I am a huge boat fan and I love to dive. The visibility in the water while diving here is incredible, whether it’s Marco Island or down in the Florida Keys… “There’s so much at your fingertips. Miami is majestic,” he says. “The weather, the sport, the entertainment, and the major moments like Art Basel and the Miami Grand Prix have made the city so special.” Following his dear friend David Beckham, he is looking to make Miami a more permanent base as he and Tana look for a second US home, besides Los Angeles. “To me, the draw to Miami is that you get to work hard and play hard. My job is to create moments through dishes one at a time, and they have cumulated so many incredible memories,” Ramsay explains. And now, it’s time for Lucky Cat — and Ramsay — to have their Miami moment.

Welcome to the Dark Side In a nod to history and the epic Apollo 8 mission of 1968, Omega unveils its latest masterpiece, the Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon. BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE
PHOTOS COURTESY OF OMEGA
THE APOLLO 8 MISSION MARKED A PIVOTAL MOMENT AS THE FIRST
human flight to orbit the Moon, and Omega watches were a crucial part of this historic journey. Now, in 2024, Omega pays tribute to this remarkable story with the new Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon, a timepiece crafted with cutting-edge technology and intricate dial detailing. Omega first introduced the Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon Apollo 8 edition in 2018 to commemorate the mission’s 50th anniversary. For its latest rendition, the brand has elevated the design to new heights, focusing on intricate details and ultimate refinement. The watch features the Caliber 3869 movement and is adorned with a laser-ablated Moon relief on the blackened main plate and bridges. This movement beautifully captures the dual nature of the Moon, with one side representing the lunar surface as seen from the Earth and the other showcasing the enigmatic dark side — a view reserved exclusively for astronauts. Omega’s latest update enhances the Moon’s definition, achieved through laser engraving and contrasting surfaces. Impressively, the manual-winding Caliber 3869 has achieved the Co-Axial Master
Chronometer standard, setting a new benchmark in Swiss precision, chronometric performance, and magnetic resistance. The Moon-themed movement is visible through the watch’s skeletonized black anodized aluminum dial. Omega’s attention to detail extends to the 44.25 mm case, the polished bezel, and the caseback, which are all crafted from separate pieces of black ceramic. The tachymeter scale is meticulously filled with bright white “Grand Feu” enamel. Adding a touch of vibrancy, the central chronograph seconds hand is varnished yellow, a theme echoed in the watch’s perforated strap made from black rubber with a yellow interior. A novel addition is the patent-pending small-seconds hand at nine o’clock, expertly engineered from Titanium Grade 5 and shaped like the NASA’s iconic Saturn V rocket. This 3D structure is created through laser turning and enriched with white varnish, ablation, and laser blackening techniques — a small yet inspiring tribute to the triumph of the Apollo program. The caseback bears a series of poignant engravings, including “WE’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE,” the final words spoken to ground control by command module pilot Jim Lovell, just before Apollo 8 ventured to the far side of the Moon, entering radio silence for the very first time. The enigmatic surface of the Moon has always fascinated and intrigued humanity, positioning itself as a key inspiration within the Omega brand and its unwavering dedication to space exploration. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 35

He led key moments for the brand, such as the New York flagship opening and the innovations brought to the iconic Carrera timepiece.

Sports Supremo A Haute look at the F.P.Journe Chronographe Rattrapante in titanium. BY ADRIENNE FAUROT
PHOTOS COURTESY OF F.P.JOURNE
THE F.P.JOURNE LINESPORT COLLECTION IS ONE OF THE ULTIMATE
sports watch collections in the industry. It blends a sporty esthetic with the premium craftsmanship of the brand’s haute horology into a collection that is modern and cool. A Haute Time favorite from the collection, the Chronographe Rattrapante in titanium grade 5 (though available in three other models as well: one other titanium grade 5, one in 18-karat 6N gold, and one platinum PT950), is the epitome of F.P.Journe’s mastery of sports watches. At the heart of the Chronographe Rattrapante lies a meticulously crafted 44 mm diameter case, with a slim profile of just 12.1 mm. Within this case, the monopoussoir split-second chronograph movement takes center stage. This movement features a very large date display, an innovation that enhances both functionality and readability. In the titanium version, the date mechanism is crafted from aluminum alloy, while the 18-karat 6N gold and platinum versions boast a date mechanism made from 18-karat rose gold, adding a luxurious touch. One of the standout features of the Chronographe Rattrapante is its power reserve, which lasts a staggering 80 hours. This extended power reserve ensures that the chronograph remains operational even after two full days, allowing you to make the most of its rattrapante function. The date window itself measures 5.20 x 2.80 mm, providing increased legibility, optimal for sports timepieces.
For this titanium timepiece, the dial features an aluminum alloy in either yellow or slate grey, adorned with luminescent applied numerals. The two chronograph counters are meticulously engraved in sapphire, enhancing both the watch’s overall sophisticated design and its functionality. Luminescent hour and minute hands ensure optimal readability. The tachymetric bezel, inlaid with ceramic, adds a sporty touch, while the new typographic numeral pays homage to the exquisite 2017 Only Watch timepiece. Despite its complexity and craftsmanship, the F.P.Journe Chronographe Rattrapante is incredibly lightweight and comfortable to sport. At the heart of the timepiece lies the Caliber 1518 with manual winding, conceived by F.P.Journe. This new movement features a direct gearing chronograph with a rocking pinion, eliminating the jump of the hand at the start — a notable advancement in precision timekeeping. The integration of the very large date, a signature of the F.P.Journe brand, required meticulous engineering to maintain a total height of only 6.80 mm. The movement’s finishings are on full display through a transparent sapphire back, showcasing the undeniable qualities of F.P.Journe haute horology. With the Chronographe Rattrapante, the brand continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking, asserting itself as the leader in the industry. @hautetime HAUTE LIVING 37
Haute Spotting The sleekest timepieces spotted on this awards season’s red carpets. BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE
THE 2024 AWARDS SEASON HAS OFFICIALLY COMMENCED, AND OUR EYES HAVE BEEN
on one thing only: watches. Each year, red carpets set the tone for the horological year ahead, revealing the new, renewed, and steady relationships between Maisons and actors. Here, we reveal some of our favorite timepieces spotted at the Golden Globe Awards, from Vacheron Constantin to Cartier, and more.
SIMU LIU IN VACHERON CONSTANTIN
Barbie star Simu Liu was seen wearing the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date in pink gold. The timepiece showcases a unique blend of retrograde hand-type day and date display, drawing inspiration from 1950s design esthetics. The dial’s hour markers and hands gracefully follow its contours, while the sunburst satin finish of the blue-colored dial adds a touch of elegance. Additionally, a “circular-pearl” minute-track on the dial enhances its light-reflecting qualities.
TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET IN CARTIER
Wonka lead — and global obsession — Timothée Chalamet wore the Cartier Crash in 18-karat white gold, adorned with 149 brilliant-cut diamonds, featuring a beaded crown set with another brilliant-cut diamond, with a combined weight of 2.15 carats. The bracelet, also in rhodium-finish 18-karat white gold, is embellished with 321 brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling 2.12 carats, and designed for a wrist size of 170 mm. The timepiece showcases a silvered opaline dial with a sunray effect, complemented by sword-shaped hands in blued steel and protected by a mineral crystal.

2023 Maserati MC20 The return of the Trident’s Edge MASERATI WAS FOUNDED IN 1914 — LONG BEFORE MANY OF ITS
eventual competitors, such as Jaguar, Ferrari, Porsche, and certainly Lamborghini — and its roots are with great racing machines and sports cars released through the 1960s. In fact, their “Tipo 61,” which became known as the “Maserati Birdcage” due to its beautiful tubular space frame, was one of the most desirable cars from that era (1959-1961), and the few remaining (less than 25 were constructed) are worth millions of dollars. I had the pleasure of seeing one, with the body off, and it’s truly a magnificent work of art. However, apart from the very capable Gran Turismo (GT), which was manufactured from 2007 to 2019, most Masers offered in the United States in recent years have been two- and four-door sedans. And when SUVs arrived, there wasn’t a sports car in the lineup for many years. Maserati did create a cousin of the Enzo in 2004, called the MC12, but that model was only made for a few years, and a total of just 62 were built. Its main purpose was to qualify a racing variant of the car for the FIA GT Championship (the racing league required a certain number of road-going variants to be produced in order for the model to be able to participate). 40 HAUTE LIVING hauteauto.com
From 1997 to 2005, Maserati and Ferrari had common ownership, and one of Maserati’s selling points was that its vehicles were powered by Ferrari engines. And while the Quattroporte luxury sedan was a big seller, especially starting with the 2014 Quattroporte VI, it seemed like the Maserati spirit of racing cars was lost in a world of sedans. But then, in 2020, the MC20 debuted. Maserati hailed the model as its “Super Sports Car” — and I, like many car aficionados, couldn’t have been more pleased. (The name came from “Maserati Corse” [Racing Maserati] and the “20” was for the year 2020.) I first saw that beautiful sports car at Pebble Beach during Monterey Car Week that same year, at the Maserati House, and though it was on static display, the car looked to be in motion. With a gorgeous, light-blue body, the MC20 looked amazing. It would be another several months before I was lucky enough to borrow one for a multi-day loan, and it certainly was worth the wait! This two-seater coupe with a rear midengine is a race car for the street and was built to combine gorgeous Italian looks with an engine that was designed after those in Formula 1 cars. “My” MC20 was liveried in an optional misty color called “Bianco Audace” — an off-white exterior with a black and gray interior.

car was $212,000, but someone with good (and expensive) taste ordered it with a boatload (or shall I say “barchetta load”) of add-ons, such as the custom matte paint ($14,000); carbon ceramic brakes ($10,000); a black roof ($4,000); carbon fiber here, there, and everywhere (more than $50,000); a racing interior ($2,500); racing seats ($7,000); and more — bringing the total (before tax and license) to over $315,000. I liked all the choices and didn’t find one that I would have excluded. Driving the car was a real treat, too. Maserati created the engine this time (code-named “Nettuno”) rather than sourcing a Ferrari option. The MC20 sports a V6 twin turbo engine with 3,000 cubic inches, producing 621 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque, which is enough oomph to rocket this 3,306-pound car from zero to 60 mph in under three seconds, on the way to a top speed north of 200 mph. And did I mention the 8,000 RPM redline, which emits a wonderful scream at full throttle? I liked driving the MC20 as it was a great blend of performance and comfort. Entry and exit were effortless (which is not always the case with butterfly dihedral doors like these), with no compromise to the ergonomics of driving to achieve great looks and performance. The handling was exact as well and had both the tightness of a sports car in the twisties and a supple, compliant ride on the straights. Although the engine sounded amazing at full honk, there was ample power to move with alacrity at less than full throttle so that the car could easily be driven at normal (that is, legal) speeds with much less sound and fury. The seats in mine were the monocoque racing seats, but I still found them both comfortable and supportive. The eight-speed transmission was sharp and smooth-shifting but also shifted swiftly upon hard acceleration. The MC20 only is available with a paddle shift; like many modern performance cars, it’s not available with a stick shift transmission. Rearward visibility is terrific, thanks to a video monitor fed by a camera at the rear — a nice touch as the camera’s wide angle is far more effective than a traditional rear-view mirror, especially when a car (as is the case with the MC20) has a constrained “natural” view. In the calmest of the three driving modes (GT), the MC20 seems somewhat sedate, but jump up to Sport or Corsa (the latter being my preferred modus operandi), and you get the Italian aria befitting a car of its stature. I love its song! My time with the MC20 was too short, but I will be borrowing the MC20 Cielo (convertible version), and who knows, I might be among the first to experience the all-electric version of the MC20, which Maserati has promised soon, or even the MCXtreme, the full-race, track-only variant of the MC20, which I saw unveiled at The Quail in August (all 62 units have been sold). Whatever top or motor your MC20 has, you’re sure to have an enjoyable time. @hauteauto HAUTE LIVING 41
AMAZING ASIA From Hong Kong to Singapore and beyond, here are the places to stay and play in Asia BY LAURA SCHREFFLER
HONG KONG
REGENT HONG KONG
The Regent Hong Kong, a former icon in Kowloon, has returned to its former glory in a major way following a two-year, top-to-tails renovation. This haute hotel, with the glittering and glorious Victoria Harbour as its backdrop, is guaranteed to be a must-visit destination for the jet set amidst landmarks like K11 MUSEA, Avenue of Stars, City Art Square, and the Hong Kong Museum of Art. Native designer Chi Wing Lo has managed to seamlessly blend the city’s historical past with its innovative present via a rich tapestry of 368 rooms and 129 suites, as well as gentle references throughout the property, balancing tactile natural materials. An iconic white marble staircase, resembling a miniature waterfall, and the grandeur of the classic design set the stage for a magnificent experience, transforming even the smallest of details into a study of the city’s past. And while guests may appreciate this insight into the past, they’ll fully love its modern, endlessly epicurean present. One of the world’s finest Chinese restaurants specializing in Cantonese cuisine, Lai Ching Heen (previously known as Yan Toh Heen), brings black pearl diamonds and two Michelin star fare back to the hotel. The Steak House presents curated selections of the finest meats from pristine farms around the world, while Harbourside’s immersive buffet experience of global cuisine transports guests to the world’s best local markets. There’s even a Nobu here, which says it all: proprietor Nobu Matsuhisa’s name is synonymous with cutting edge Japanese cuisine and a sexy party vibe worldwide. Which means, of course, like everything else on site, Regent Hong Kong defines ‘best of the best.’ Additionally, the hotel’s Regent Club opened in September, offering guests an exclusive, light-filled private sanctuary, designed in an elevated way, like the bridge of a cruise ship. Here, afternoon tea and evening cocktails are offered quietly and discreetly, with postcard perfect views of the harbor, underneath a dazzling array of lights meant to simulate those which dance around and reflect the vibrant waterfront every evening set to “A Symphony of Lights,” focusing the viewer’s eye on the iconic cityscape. Speaking of iconic views, well, there isn’t one better than from the property’s crowning jewel: the presidential suite. This state-of-the-art, 7,000-square-foot duplex has its own private terrace and infinity swimming pool, five bedrooms, a dining room, tearoom, private gym, rainforest shower and whirlpool bathtub, private sauna, and steam room. The reopening of the rest of the reimagined hotel’s new hallmarks, such as the spa and additional rooms, will continue to be rolled out in the coming months. 18 Salisbury Road Regent, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong

There are very few places in the world that are more traditional or distinctive than Kyoto, and at HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa, those traditional elements are adhered to respectfully and perfectly, creating an incredibly authentic experience. The Mitsui Fudosan Group’s flagship is located right in the heart of Kyoto, directly opposite UNESCO World Heritage site Nijō Castle, the Kyoto residence of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo Period, across Horikawa-dori. This 75,000-square-foot property was the former home of the Mitsui family for over 250 years, which is reflected in its current reincarnation of 160 guest rooms — because what makes this hotel such a standout is its sense of history. There are quiet Japanese gardens set among lily ponds, tiny wooden bridges, and water features, visible from many of the guest rooms, as well as a subterranean natural hot spring in the THERMAL SPRING SPA. There are even two private onsens for a decadent experience (best enjoyed whilst nibbling on caviar and sipping champagne, in my humble opinion). The culinary concepts echo the wonders found throughout the property. At TOKI, a mix of Japanese and French cuisine is perfectly prepared item by item on a long, teppan-brushed steel counter. That the highest-quality Matsusaka wagyu beef found anywhere in Japan is served here is no accident: Mie Prefecture — the current home of the Mitsui family — is the source of said meat. At Italian eatery FORNI, guests can experience all the 24 distinct terms of the solar calendar through flavorful dishes made from the freshest Italian and locally-sourced Kyoto ingredients (many of which are prepared on an okudo-san — a traditional Japanese kamado-style cooking range — reimagined as an oven for pizzas and oven-roasted dishes). Visible from all seating locations, the garden at FORNI reflects the seasons. There is also THE GARDEN BAR, which serves up both local and global liquor-forward libations, as well as SHIKI-NO-MA, a private space created from reconstructed Japanese cypress, a private dining space where — among other experiences — some of the last remaining Kyoto geisha or geikos (traditional Japanese female entertainers) treat guests to a dance, a lingering look at an ancient art form of yesteryear.

Aman Tokyo doesn’t have to shout how great it is: this stunner need only whisper, and it will catch the wind. Aman’s first urban concept hotel is a true oasis, set high above the Japanese capital, offering dramatic panoramic views of the Imperial Palace Gardens and neighboring Ginza shopping district. The Otemachi Forest, a meticulously created natural oasis at the foot of the hotel, is brought inside through natural materials, earthy bamboo, and traditional Japanese design elements like washi paper, stone, and large ofuro soaking tubs, found in all 84 suites. This design aesthetic is most visibly apparent in the property’s masterpiece of a lobby, where an engawa — a wooden detail seen in traditional Japanese residences that divides the inside and out — impressively soars nearly 100 feet high. It’s a city hotel to be sure, a beautiful respite for business travelers that offers a plethora of quiet and calm experiences throughout the stay, from an ethereally elegant afternoon tea at the beautiful Japanese-style garden Lounge by Aman to the lovely spa. There’s also enough on-site dining to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters, from Aman’s Italian staple Arva, which offers views of Mt. Fuji and houses a two-story, glass-fronted wine cellar; and Musashi by Aman, a fine dining experience where traditional Edomae-style sushi is served.

Pan Pacific Orchard is one of the most majestic new hotels in Asia due in part to its dramatic foliage that brings the outside in. In fact, over 300 percent of the hotel’s land area is comprised of greenery, thanks to the stylings of award-winning designers WOHA Architects, with four interconnected, nature-driven sky terraces: Forest, Beach, Garden, and Cloud. Dramatic, nearly 400-foot green columns tower through the terraces, creating a spectacle of thriving flora. Mirrored ceilings reflect each unique landscape, from the sparkling pools of Beach Terrace to the manicured lawns of Garden Terrace, while open-air spaces welcome abundant fresh breeze and natural daylight for exquisite alfresco experiences. It’s no surprise that this 347-room hotel is as green as they come, with a slew of sustainability features inclusive of renewable solar panel technology, an in-room filtered water system, and a bio-digester system that transforms food waste into cleaning water. But make no mistake: this is still a luxury hotel, and one that’s complemented by the crème de la crème of concepts to boot. These include Mediterranean-meets-Peruvian eatery Mosella, which overlooks the greenery of Forest Terrace, and Garden Terrace hot spot Florette, which features one of the city’s best champagne lists — from growers to rare vintages and the classics — perfectly paired with the season’s freshest oysters; as well as The Chairman’s Lounge, which is overseen by famed Chinese chef Leung Wing Cheung. The property has also joined forces with Singapore’s Orchard Gin to create their own, supremely elegant libation.

SOUTH KOREA
Gangnam-style is a thing, and there isn’t one hotel in Seoul, the K-Beauty capital of the world, that embodies this more so than the Signiel Seoul. Located atop the 1,821-foot LOTTE World Tower, the sixth tallest building in the world and Korea’s largest, this stunner can literally be likened to the very height of extreme luxury. The hotel feels different from other luxury properties. While many of America’s wealthiest get away with lowslung baseball caps and artfully disheveled, unbuttoned designer coats, the guests here look like they’d be right at home on a runway (or at least sitting front row). Signiel (a composite of the words “signature” and “LOTTE”) is the group’s most premium offering, clearly, even winning the Grand Prix of the Best Grand Hotel in the World at the 2022 Villegiature Awards. This is obvious in every possible way, from its signatures restaurants, STAY by Michelin three-star chef Yannick Alléno, and 1 Michelin star Korean eatery, Bicena (becoming the only hotel in Korea to have two Michelin starred restaurants at the same time), to its Rolls-Royce house car and upscale sky bar, Bar 81, which, with 80 different brands, hosts the largest champagne collection in South Korea. The hotel also has its very own wine, La Tour D’Arche Signiel Margaux, from Bordeaux, and a collection of 235 rooms and suites, the largest of which, the Royal Suite, at over 3,800 square feet, has its own jacuzzi and secretary room. There’s also a pool, sauna, and fitness center with panoramic sky views, and the Retreat Signiel, a top-notch K-Spa, which has its own tea and oil ateliers. Can you see now why it was named the very best? 300 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Regent Phu Quoc, one of the newest hotels in the tony Regent portfolio, is one of the most self-contained of the group’s properties. Located off the southwest coast of Vietnam and set alongside a UNESCO-designated World Biosphere Reserve in the country’s largest island of Phú Quốc, this all-suites-and-villas resort takes barefoot luxury to an entirely new level. Its thoughtful, carefree, home-awayfrom-home (but better) aesthetic was brought to life by BLINK Design Group, which created a resort experience, highlighted by unobstructed views of sparkling sea from every angle via expansive windows and verandas that invite natural light. Here, there are 302 suites and villas, our favorite type of which features private infinity pools that soar above the sultry skyline. There are some incredible dining options throughout, and an equally impressive spa, all surrounded by vast schools of Koi fish (as well as daily complimentary yoga on the rooftop and indoor and outdoor yoga pavilions or, for a bonus, a personal holistic wellness coach). But it’s the extras here that make this jungle-like resort the one to beat. There’s ‘Bath Hour’ on offer from the privacy of the Oasis bathrooms; access to Serenity, the resort’s personal yacht (as a side note, it is the only resort in the area to offer this kind of upscale amenity); and the totally wild, private dining experience that is Taste Gallery, where the resort’s six restaurants and bars converge to create a totally unique, art-focused, creative, immersive experience that is spearheaded by the property’s head chef, Bruno Anon. It’s truly unmissable. Bai Truong, Dương Tơ, Phú Quốc, Kiên Giang 92509, Vietnam

Luxury-based hotel group Anantara, responsible for creating high-end luxury hideaways across Asia, has opened one of its latest and greatest efforts in Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas, a secluded oasis located on an untouched island in the middle of Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay. Once a coconut palm plantation, the 27-acre site is situated between a wooded hill and a turquoise bay dotted with jungle-clad limestone islets that dot the horizon. Unfolding over a mile of golden beach, this new luxury resort is the height of tranquility, spaciousness, and luxury, just a 35-minute boat ride from Phuket and 20 minutes from Krabi. From the moment travelers arrive at the resort’s private jetty, they are immersed in the atmosphere of exclusivity and luxury, highlighted by a sprawling green lawn, a shaded swimming pool, and a golden beach. Here, there are 148 classically designed suites, villas, and penthouses, our favorite of which are the eight butler-attended sea view pool penthouses. At 3,939 square feet, these behemoths feature living and dining rooms, kitchens, master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms featuring two skylight-lit rain showers, infinityedge pools, sundecks with daybeds, and covered cabanas for alfresco dining. [However, there is only one that comes with a glass bottom infinity pool, seen from the living space below.] This is a true getaway, where every accommodation is made, and every possible convenience is offered. This means a slew of culinary concepts, inclusive of surf and turf eatery Beach Restaurant, traditional Thai spot Pakarang, and the appropriately named Japanese Restaurant. Plus, via Dining by Design, with only a private chef and butler present, guests can enjoy a gourmet picnic on an island sandbank, a romantic dinner cruise, or a champagne celebration in complete privacy. This is a common theme here indeed, given that Koh Yao Yai is still wonderfully undeveloped and devoid of mass tourism, offering an enriching journey for foodies, nature lovers, yogis, and marine enthusiasts alike. Inspirational and immersive excursions are also offered, such as vintage sidecar tours to a rubber plantation; batik-making, tie-dye classes; mountain climbing;scuba diving;and off-the-beaten-track adventures to tranquil Hong Island, where one can drift along mangrove canals in a kayak as native Hornbill birds soar above. On property, guests can also indulge via spa time at one of the several hydropools and hammams. 88, 8, Koh Yao Yai, Ko Yao District, Phang-nga 82160, Thailand

PHARRELL WILLIAMS’ SPRING-SUMMER 2024 DEBUT COLLECTION AS LOUIS VUITTON MEN’S CREATIVE DIRECTOR HAS HIT STORES AND, FOR THE OCCASION, THE MAISON IS GOING BIG WITH GLOBAL, IMMERSIVE STORE CONCEPTS AND ACTIVATIONS. BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE PHOTOS COURTESY OF LOUIS VUITTON

When Pharrell Williams was appointed creative director after Virgil Abloh, the fashion industry knew he would have large shoes to fill. But if anyone could do it, it would be Williams. With three Louis Vuitton Men’s collections now under his belt, Williams has established a clear vision for the brand. Just like Abloh, he is mixing different cultures and traditions with the original Vuitton spirit while dipping into the brand’s incredible archives and history to create contemporary masterpieces — the Pharrell way, of course. Williams’ first collection — for Spring-Summer 2024 — was a key moment for the Maison. He transformed the brand’s LV initials to introduce “LVERS,” a state of mind founded in warmth, wellbeing, and welcomeness that became the collection’s motto, and is set to define Williams as creative director. The designer shut down the iconic Pont Neuf in Paris on a June summer night last year to release Louis Vuitton’s Spring-Summer 2024 Men’s Collection, attracting a global crowd. With the collection now hitting stores, the brand has unveiled a unique global retail experience with a series of captivating store concepts and activations. Spanning over 50 locations worldwide over the next few months, the installations embody the evolution of Williams’ vision and are all inspired by the “LVERS” philosophy that celebrates Louis Vuitton as a diverse global community united by a shared love for creativity and craftsmanship. From London to New York, the brand is introducing pop-ins, pop-ups, “residencies,” and special events featuring DJs and more. Raising the bar higher, guests who visit the spaces will also receive limited-edition carrier bags with every purchase, adorned with the collection’s pixelated “Damoflage” motif and “LVERS” logo. Expect to see stores and temporary spaces across the globe embody the expressions of the golden Damier checkers. They will pay homage to the architecture of each location and welcome two concepts around the idea of the sun being a universal source of opportunity and energy. From miniatures to on-screen life-sized holograms, guests will be immersed in a world of proportions and perspectives. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 63

In London, Selfridges has undergone a striking transformation as it welcomes a takeover of 16 windows dedicated to Williams’ thought-provoking question: “What will you do when the sun shines on you?” The Louis Vuitton “LVERS” experience at Selfridges introduces a reimagined Pont Neuf bridge constructed from 3D cubes, artfully echoing the “Damoflage” pattern. Mannequins dressed in show-stopping looks grace the floor, which is adorned with golden “Damier” checkers, effectively transporting visitors to the iconic Pont Neuf. Meanwhile, the Louis Vuitton Champs-Élysées residency, dubbed “Ephemère,” stands as another exceptional testament to the Pharrell phenom, immersing guests in the wonderful world of Vuitton from the moment they step in, with the entrance encircled in golden “Damier” pixels mimicking the rays of the sun. With interactive experiences and a dedicated “dandy club” celebrating the collection’s devotion to dandy dressing, the space immerses guests in a world where fashion meets art. And in true Parisian fashion, the residency is home to a secret Speedy Room for clients to discover Williams’ new release of the Maison’s iconic bag.

Stateside, Louis Vuitton welcomes two ephemeral boutiques in SoHo, New York, and West Hollywood, Los Angeles. In the heart of SoHo, you’ll find an exclusive pop-up store with two distinct storefronts. Inside, it showcases the entire Louis Vuitton Men’s universe, offering a curated assortment inclusive of accessories, jewelry, leather goods, luggage, ready-to-wear, shoes, and trunks from Williams’ debut collection. Open now through mid-March, and with a second drop on February 8, this pop-up store serves as the exclusive East Coast destination for the Men’s Spring/ Summer 2024 collection. The space draws inspiration from the inaugural Pont Neuf show, featuring opulent interiors adorned with shimmering gold accents, Parisian-style streetlamps, and architectural details reminiscent of the historic bridge. A checkered floor pays homage to the Maison’s classic 19th-century “Damier” pattern. A second location — accessible by appointment only — offers a oneof-a-kind experience, where a miniaturized Paris conceals a secret room displaying brilliantly colored leather Speedy bags. Similar to SoHo, West Hollywood will also be home to a brand-new pop-up haven that will host two different drops before unveiling the complete Louis Vuitton Men’s collections mid-March. For an exclusive touch, the pop-up features a hidden room concealed behind a colossal bookcase accessible only through the pull of the correct volume, and showcases the same Speedy bags as in New York, this time seemingly suspended in the darkness and illuminated by spotlights. The pop-up presents bespoke pieces like the Palace slipper and the Footprint low boot, curated specifically for the space. @hauteliving HAUTE LIVING 67

There’s no doubt the focal point of Williams’ debut collection is the reintroduction of the Speedy bag — and it’s now the hero of these new ephemeral spaces. A brief history: the Speedy, originally conceived by Gaston-Louis Vuitton in 1930 as the “Express,” paying homage to the era’s fascination with speed and automobiles, has a storied history of evolution. In 1959, it underwent a transformative journey when introduced in a supple Monogram canvas, solidifying its status as a must-have fashion accessory. With the addition of a safety lock, the travel bag seamlessly transitioned into the realm of city fashion. However, it was Audrey Hepburn who catapulted the Speedy to “It” bag fame in 1965, personally requesting a smaller version to suit her petite frame. Since then, the Speedy has remained a timeless Louis Vuitton signature, continuously reimagined by various creatives. Williams has breathed new life into the Speedy, infusing it with the spirit of lower Manhattan’s Canal Street. Offered in a vibrant primary color palette, the Speedy is bound to become (again) the it bag to have.

1. BULGARI X THÉLIOS For its Spring-Summer 2024 Eyewear collection, Bulgari tapped LVMH’s luxury eyewear brand Thélios for the ultimate collaboration. The collection draws inspiration from some of Bulgari’s most iconic jewelry collections, like the Serpenti and B.zero1, as well as timepieces like the Octo Roma and Octo Finissimo, to design dynamic, modern eyewear shapes.
3. LORO PIANA In 2024, Loro Piana is staying true to its heritage with the launch of a new, incredibly innovative and luxurious fabric, Denim Silk. Made in collaboration with Japanese artisans, the Denim Silk is a fabric that combines 59 percent cotton denim and 41 percent silk, carefully woven on vintage looms in the Bingo Province of Japan and in Piedmont, Italy. Blending tradition and creativity, this exclusive and lightweight fabric has been used to create four women’s pieces for the Spring-Summer 2024 collection, representing a unique fusion of Italian innovation and Japanese craftsmanship.

4. LOUIS VUITTON No one does red carpet fashion quite like Louis Vuitton. At the Academy Gala, Alicia Vikander wore a stunning Louis Vuitton long-sleeved gown crafted from dark greygreen silk crepe chiffon that featured intricate smocked details and took over 400 hours of work, and more than 164 feet of fabric. It was made complete with layered micro frills on the skirt and custom matching undergarments.

FORMERLY RECOGNIZED AS KEY BISCAYNE CAR WEEK, THIS
three-day event transformed Key Biscayne into a global hub of luxury automobiles with the legendary Emerson Fittipaldi, a two-time Formula 1 World Champion, two-time Indianapolis 500 Champion, and CART Champion. The event welcomed cars and drivers from across the globe and, despite some stormy weather, its third year was a success. Fittipaldi, renowned for his racing prowess, expressed his deep-rooted affection for the Key Biscayne community, affirming the presentation of Concours d’Elegance Key Biscayne as a testament to his enduring love for this locale. Beyond a worldclass showcase of luxury cars, the event served as a platform to honor automotive heritage and raise funds for charities like Eternity & Grace and the Miami Project, which are dedicated to curing paralysis. Celebrating a longstanding collaboration spanning over half a century, Lotus and Emerson once again united on the occasion. This union spotlighted the championship-winning Lotus Type 72, alongside the debut of the Lotus Evija Fittipaldi and the introduction of the reincarnated Lotus Type 66. The latter, a manifestation of a “lost Lotus” design from 1970, merges contemporary racing technology with classic Lotus aesthetics, paying homage to an era of racing heritage. 3

Juan Estefan – Entrepreneur, CEO, and Wine Aficionado BY MARY GIBSON
How did you get your start in the wine & spirits business? I’ve been in the liquor industry pretty much my entire adult life. I started up at Bacardi Rum, in the marketing department, when I was 17 years old and worked with them for 15 years. When I left Bacardi I worked for Dana Imports helping them to build the brands in their portfolio. But what happens sometimes — often — is that brands run out of money. So, I left and managed some other rum and vodka brands before opening my own company and brand, JE Wine & Spirits, in 2018. My brand is something that nobody can take away from me, something that I can have and build on my own. Long story short, today I handle 11 liquor brands like Avorza Vodka, etc., and three years ago, I launched 7 y Michi wines. What inspired the name? The name 7 y Michi Wines comes from my grandfather; it’s actually a family story. My grandfather was a professional gambler, and he used to play a game very similar to Blackjack, called “Siete Media” 102 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
in Spanish, or “seven and a half.” When he put down the last card to get seven and a half, Siete Media, he would say “Siete Michi” because it brought him good luck. He said he won like this 60 or 70 percent of the time by saying this. When I was born, he was one of the luckiest gamblers ever — he even bought a house gambling. So, when I was born as Juan Emilio Estefan, he gave me the nickname Michi. I got lucky in life, like he did, because of that nickname; he was an extremely fortunate and very humble person. Where are the wines from? They’re from Chile, including from the country’s Central Valley. Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Rosé, and Sauvignon Blanc so far. They’re in 23 restaurants and about 80 percent of the liquor stores in the Miami-Dade area, distributed by Mexcor Distributor. What have you learned as an entrepreneur? It’s all about marketing. I don’t have any investors. I own the brand 100 percent. And with my company, we represent several liquor brands for others that come from another industry. People think that they’re going to launch a vodka or a rum, and it’s going to be easy. But there’s a lot of competition, and you can run out of money quickly in this industry. See, it’s all about the marketing, really.

Lupo Yacht Club: A New Way To Enjoy Luxury On The Water BY MARY GIBSON
MICHAEL LUPOLOVER IS THE FOUNDER AND CEO OF LUPO YACHT CLUB, AN INNOVATIVE AND NOVEL FRACTIONAL
How did you get your start in the yachting business? I’ve been yachting since 2010 through a fractional ownership program. In 2015, I purchased my first yacht, a 52-foot Sea Ray, and I was using it between Miami and New York — I had it docked in Chelsea Piers in the Hudson River for the summer months — and I would bring it down to Miami for the winters. When I ended up moving down here permanently, I decided to upgrade the vessel with the intention to charter. I was also chartering when I had the smaller vessel, but I thought, “Let me upgrade, and I’ll start chartering the yacht even more.” Then Covid hit, and the chartering business was booming. People really had nowhere to go and nothing to do, and they got wind of the fact that I had a yacht and that I was chartering it. I then became extremely busy and ended up buying a second identical yacht. They are both docked in Sunny Isles Beach, and each yacht has three crew members on them: a full-time captain, a stewardess, and a deckhand. What makes your company different from other yachting companies? Well, for one, the condition of the vessels. Most companies that charter vessels in Miami don’t keep a full-time crew; they use per diem captains and stewardesses. We have a full-time crew that always maintains the yachts, which helps keep the vessels in pristine condition. We don’t spare any dollars and always make sure that everything is in tip-top shape, both mechanically and cosmetically. That’s what makes us stand out. In addition to that, this is not just a business for me, but it’s really a passion project. This is something I genuinely enjoy running and building. How did Lupo Yacht Club get started? As we were chartering, I realized that there was a more personalized approach that I wanted to take with our clients, and from that, the idea of the Lupo Yacht Club was born. Lupo Yacht Club is similar to chartering when it comes to the amount of responsibility you have. You come on, you enjoy the yacht, and you come off — you’re not responsible for thinking about any of the crew, about the repairs, the fuel… nothing. Your sole responsibility is to come on and have a good time. However, unlike chartering, you’re a fractional owner, so the experience is very different when it’s your vessel, just without the headache of having to care for it. What kind of membership is it? Lupo Yacht Club offers fractional ownership; the members become owners. But unlike other fractional companies, there’s no large initial capital outlay, such as a down payment of the vessel. We’ve already purchased the yacht. You’re just paying your share of the running costs. There’s also no long-term commitment like you’d typically see; you’re just signing up for an annual commitment. Another great way to join is with your business and have the ability to write off the cost of the membership as an expense. We have three different tiers: Gold, which is $5,000 a month and gives you 10 points; Platinum, which is $7,500 a month and gives you 16 points; and then Diamond, the highest tier, which gives you 22 points a month for $10,000. During the week, one point is equivalent to one hour of usage, and on the weekends, one hour of usage is one and a quarter points. Overnights are 10 points during the week and 12 points on the weekend. Another standout is if you are a snowbird, the points roll over for up to a year. It’s that simple. This program is really a no-brainer for anyone who wants to yacht in Miami. What do you love about Miami? I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, but I’ve been coming to Miami since I was a little kid. My parents had a place here in Sunny Isles Beach, and I have always known that I wanted to live here. Now, I live right here on the beach. I love the weather, and I love being on the water. 104 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com

How Range Rover’s UltraExclusive Range Rover Sport SV Edition Redefined The Relationship Between Auto and Art BY ADRIENNE FAUROTE
DURING THE 2023 MIAMI ART WEEK, THE PREMIER EVENT FOR MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ARTISTIC AND DESIGN
philosophy, Range Rover made its debut with a captivating sensory installation, “FORCE OF NATURE.” This installation not only highlighted the power and dynamism of Miami’s natural environment but also introduced the exclusive Range Rover Sport SV EDITION ONE MIAMI. In partnership with world-renowned air master and designer Daniel Wurtzel, Range Rover created an installation that fused the automotive and art industry through a sensory journey that made visitors experience the performance, the modernity, and the reductive design that define the brand. Using specially designed lights and sound coordinated with the artful harnessing of wind power, the installation provided a powerful yet serene atmosphere, and was made complete with an elegant floating silky wave that mimicked the ocean waves of Miami Beach. Inspired by the vibrant blue of the Atlantic Ocean, the Range Rover Sport SV EDITION ONE MIAMI boasts an exclusive Maya Blue SV Bespoke paint. This SUV, the most powerful Range Rover ever, is equipped with a 626 hp Twin Turbo V8 mild-hybrid engine, capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds. Its 23-inch carbon fiber wheels, carbon ceramic brakes, and unique eight-piston Brembo Optima front calipers in a carbon bronze colorway add to its exclusivity. The 6D Dynamics suspension system further enhances its performance. Only seven units of this exclusive model will be produced, with a price tag of $225,000 — becoming a work of art itself and representing the pinnacle of sporting luxury and cutting-edge performance technology. The installation expressed the key qualities of Range Rover models: serenity, control, power, and liberation. “FORCE OF NATURE” captured the essence of the Range Rover Sport SV EDITION ONE MIAMI and the natural elements of Miami Beach. During the day, the installation served as a place for conversation, relaxation, and inspiration, and at night, the space transformed into an electric and lively nightclub, with live musical performances, curated food, cocktails, and unique experiences. With “FORCE OF NATURE,” Range Rover’s debut at Miami Art Week was a testament to their commitment to delivering not just luxury vehicles but unforgettable experiences that celebrate the intersection of art, technology, and nature. 108 HAUTE LIVING hauteliving.com
