On a recent trip to Venice, our editor-in-chief finds a rival to the Cipriani on the Venetian Lagoon and a quiet respite on the Grand Canal.
There are numerous cities of great antiquity, but few give the traveler quite the same feeling of time travel as Rome does. Two hotels add to the allure.
To experience life as a Roman citizen, Mr. Harper chose to stay in the residential neighborhood of Prati, known for its excellent restaurants and wine shops.
Rome still boasts innumerable trattorias and restaurants, many family-owned, serving excellent traditional cooking. Here are three I recently enjoyed.
Italian Renaissance painters tend to go in and out of fashion. Caravaggio was forgotten after his death, but today his reputation seems to be at its zenith.
A successful trip to Florence now requires a strategy. One solution is to stay 25 minutes away at the Belmond or Il Salviatino in Fiesole.
Mr. Harper revisits a favorite property in Rome, Hotel Eden, after its recent refurbishment and discovers three boutique hotels in Palm Beach.
Though a wintering spot for the wealthy, Florida has always had a lack of hideaways. But my latest trip uncovered one in Palm Beach and one in Deerfield Beach.
Key West has had a reputation as a place for party-goers, but an influx of well-heeled retirees have restored cottages and raised the prevailing tone.
One of the pleasures of Key West is strolling along the streets of Old Town looking at the lovely 19th-century cottages called "conchs."
The Flagler Museum and the Norton Museum of Art greatly added to our visit to Palm Beach. They would provide valuable diversions during bad weather.
Key West has long been a refuge and an inspiration for writers. Not all the books on this list constitute high literature, but each is well worth reading.
We enjoyed numerous fine meals on our trip to Palm Beach. Unsurprisingly, many of them involved superlative seafood. Here are six places I particularly liked.
Given the number of notable people who have lived on Key West, it’s not surprising that many of their homes have been preserved. Here are two of my favorites.
A new outpost of DUKES has opened in, of all places, Dubai. Unlike the 90-room London location, this one has 506 accommodations spread across 15 floors.
The Loren at Pink Beach opened for the America's Cup. The 45-room property seems to have all the ingredients required for continued success.
São Paulo is not typically a destination for leisure travelers. However, the opening of Palácio Tangará, part of the Oetker Collection, may change that.
With the passing of chef Alain Senderens, France has lost a wizard of Gallic gastronomy, a genius defined by a playful but deeply considered iconoclasm.
There has always been a relative dearth of hideaways in Florida. However, on my recent trip I discovered three that were satisfyingly sophisticated.
Andrew Harper traveled to Rome and Venice where he found two new exceptional hotels to recommend.
