LAKE K THE WORLD’S LEADING EXCLUSIVE RETREAT Set amid the spectacular New York Adirondacks,this historic Great Camp features charming luxury lodges on a thousand-acre private wilderness escape. It is the pure distillation of summertime,of leaping off docks, of gleaming wooden boats plying the pristine lake and dinners by the fire.
THE MAGAZINE FOR LEADERS
Once a private playground for the Vanderbilts, Lake Kora invites your family and friends to experience this extraordinary property as a Great Camp of your own. A fully staffed and all inclusive rustic paradise.

Lake Kora’s Location Lake Kora is located in the heart of the Adirondack mountains in Upstate New York and is a thousand acre escape with charming luxury lodges set on a completely secluded lake

The History Lake Kora was built in 1898 as Kamp Kill Kare, a magnificent log-and-stone compound on a vast forest preserve, with its own 500-acre lake. It was an exclusive retreat, but soon the site of many grand affairs. Yale and Harvard teams practiced on the soball diamond and the eminent families of the Gilded Age came to dance on the Boathouse docks.
THE MAGAZINE FOR LEADERS
No expense was spared on luxury and mountain charm: birch bark writing paper, a Venetian gondola, a floating lantern-lit bridge, and even a dancing black bear. Still in private hands today, the camp has remained astonishingly intact for more than a century.
The Season Lake Kora is available for bookings July through October. July through August 15th is reserved for buyouts, with individual bookings available August 15th through October, depending upon availability. Set in the beautiful Adirondacks, guests enjoy the summer months and outdoors diving into the lake, canoing, and biking on the trails.
For the fall, it is absolutely stunning as the leaves change to vibrant colors and the air is more crisp. Guests continue enjoying all the outdoor adventures, retiring in the evening to the hot tub, meals by the great stone ďŹ replace, and bowling on the heritage alley.

THE ROYAL SUITE AT THE PLAZA NEW YORK It was once said, “Nothing unimportant ever happens at The Plaza.” One of America’s most celebrated hotels, The Plaza opened its doors on October 1, 1907, amid a flurry of impressive reports describing it as the greatest hotel in the world. Located at Fih Avenue and Central Park South, this luxury hotel was constructed in the most fashionable residential section of New York City. The Plaza was the dream of financier Bernhard Beinecke, hotelier Fred Sterry, and Harry S. Black, President of the Fuller Construction Company. They purchased a 15-year-old hotel of the same name on the site. The three men set out to replace it with what is surely one of the most elegant hotels in the world.
| 88 |
Construction of the 19-story building (a skyscraper back then) took two years at a cost of $12 million – an unprecedented sum in those days. Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, who also designed the Dakota apartments, the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. and The Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston, set about his task to provide all the pomp, glory, and opulence of a French chateau. No cost was spared. The largest single order in history for goldencrusted china was placed with L. Straus & Sons, and no less than 1,650 crystal chandeliers were purchased.

EXCELSIOR HOTEL GALLIA
KATARA S | 124 |
Owned by Katara Hospitality, this Milanese landmark recently emerged from a meticulous, all-encompassing renovation of the historic building, whilst adding a new contemporary wing. Formerly known as “Palace Gallia”, the hotel is strongly rooted in Milanese history, located in the heart of the new Porta Nuova district. Excelsior Hotel Gallia is the latest gem to be unveiled by The Luxury Collection as part of a multi-million Euro investment to restore the brand’s most iconic European hotels.
Excelsior Hotel Gallia comprises two buildings – the fully restored historic palace and a new modern wing with a façade that resembles a delicate steel and glass curtain. The striking juxtaposition is inspired by the hotel’s luminous past and the emerging skyline of the Porta Nuova area.
SUITE Guests entering the hotel are welcomed by the dazzling sight of a custom-made 30-metre Murano glass chandelier created by De Majo, depicting a waterfall of 180 light cylinders which illuminates the eight-story monumental stairwell. The historical lobby pays tribute to notable Milanese architecture of the 1930s, such as La Scala Theatre, Viorio Emanuele Gallery and Villa Necchi Campiglio. The public spaces have been outfied by B&B Italia using aluminium, glass and marble.
Excelsior Hotel Gallia features 235 luxurious guest rooms, including 53 suites. The 1,000sqm Katara Suite – one of the largest Presidential Suites in Italy – is situated on the seventh floor, offering two terraces, four bedrooms and a private spa. The two-bedroom Gallia Suite mimics a sophisticated private residence with its beautiful loggia surrounded by historical columns and statues. The other 51 suites revolve around five distinct themes: Design Suites, dedicated to a renowned Milanese designer or architect, namely Vico Magistrei, Achille Castiglioni, Giò Ponti, Luigi Caccia Dominioni and Franco Albini; Art Suites, which overlook the square and feature a large sliding panel with photos of the hotel’s historic façade; and Atelier Suites, evoking the ambiance of creative workshops.

All the rooms are outfied by Cassina Contract with the exception of the Katara Suite which has been furnished by B&B Italia. Set to open in September on the seventh floor, the hotel’s roof-top mixologist bar and signature restaurant Terrazza Gallia will be managed with the advice of the renowned Cerea family. With the three Michelin-star duo Enrico and Roberto Cerea providing culinary guidance on Terrazza Gallia, diners can savour the best of traditional Italian and Lombard cuisine with a contemporary twist. Guests seated on the covered and heated outdoor terrace will enjoy a panoramic view of Milan, including the landmark Central Station and the
adjacent Pirelli skyscraper by Giò Ponti. The Cerea family will also lend their gastronomic expertise to the hotel’s banqueting and events services. The Gallia Restaurant on the ground floor offers the ideal location for a breakfast meeting, smart business lunch, or private dinner, whilst the Wine Cellar is the ideal seing for an intimate private lunch or dinner. “Excelsior Hotel Gallia is a magnificent property that has undergone a meticulous renovation and strategic expansion that marries contemporary design with the hotel’s Belle Époque architectural style, ensuring that this remains as one of Milan’s historic landmarks,” said Sheikh Nawaf Bin Jassim Bin Jabor Al-Thani, Chairman, Katara Hospitality. www.excelsiorhotelgallia.com
