What if the best view in Rio wasn’t from the beach — but above it?
Fasano overlooks Ipanema like it invented good taste. A rooftop pool to watch the day fade, rooms that balance Brazilian warmth with modern precision, and service so intuitive it feels psychic. One of the Leading Hotels of the World — and easily, one of the best in it.

Before leaving Rio, follow your nose to Granado in Ipanema - Brazil’s oldest fragrance brand and a shop that turns “just looking” into an hour.
The Neroli candle? Let’s just say it made the newsletter for a reason.

Imagine this: you’re in Park City, Utah, fresh off the slopes with ski boots traded for snow boots. Main Street is buzzing, Sundance chatter everywhere, and the scent of oak and rye leads you straight to High West Saloon.

Loud, lively, and proudly unpretentious, @drinkhighwest is Park City’s go-to après-ski ritual. Come for a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned, but also try the chicken and waffles, schnitzel, or burger.

Tip: Always packed, so arrive early - or embrace the wait with a drink at the bar.

#DYK each January, the world’s most influential independent film festival takes over Park City?
What began in 1978 as a small indie showcase is now a global stage where cinema finds its edge.

And now you’re thinking - I want to go, but where should I stay?

@washingtonschoolhouse is a 19th-century schoolhouse that survived Park City’s great fire of 1898, rebuilt in 2011 into a twelve-room boutique hotel. Antique bones, modern design, pure charm — our favorite in-town stay.

🗓 Sundance Film Festival 2026 | Jan 22 – Feb 1

@stormkingartcenter gave big art energy and peak fall vibes 🍂🗿. Felt tiny strolling among giant sculptures and trees, then refueled at @theshopsatjonesfarm with a homemade lunch.

One hour from NYC, one hour from Kingston. A 10/10 autumn day. 🍁🧡

🍷 In our latest newsletter we spotlight a bar that broke one rule: no wine list.
At Covell, the ritual is simple: you talk, they listen, and the glass in your hand somehow feels exactly right. It’s a blend of intuition and trust. The food rivals the city’s best restaurants, and the patio glows with candlelight and the slow rhythm of an evening well spent.
