When a places calls itself The Nines, you expect a spot that is decked out. That’s exactly what The Nines delivers — in the form of a damn sexy NYC jazz club and piano bar. Think of it as the Bemelmans of downtown. If the address looks familiar, it’s because this is the old ACME space. But there’s no trace of Southern food here. Instead, expect extremely attractive people noshing on caviar. Overview The Nines brings back dressing for dinner…

We really dig a hotel that calls itself a “rebel retreat.’ Located on the Costa del Sol, newly opened La Zambra is a design hotel with a bohemian vibe. Its décor would fit right into Tulum, but instead it’s located between Marbella and Malaga, in the space of the former den of debauchery, the Hôtel Byblos. And, the transformation is exciting. Overview Though the property was originally home to the hedonistic, La Zambra has been completely refurbished under the Hyatt…

What happens when what’s arguably the most luxurious hotel in Italy’s Lake Como opens a sister property? High expectations, for sure. Passalacqua is the sibling of the famed Grand Hotel Tremezzo and, by all accounts so far, she’s the Pippa to Kate Middleton. Here’s a look at the buzziest opening this year on the Lake. Overview Once a historic private villa built in 1787 by the Odescalchi family of Como, Passalacqua certainly isn’t new. It’s been around awhile and has…
