Just an hour's flight east of Bali, this untouched island is home to beautiful lagoons, coral reefs, jungles, mountains, and soon, the stunning Cap Karoso resort, opening in early 2023.
Focused on community and environmental sustainability, founders Fabrice and Evguenia Ivara aim to create a positive impact with Cap Karoso.
The Ivaras have worked closely with Sumba’s indigenous community during the development process. They’ve also committed to hiring 80% of their staff locally, powering the resort with 50% solar energy, and minimizing the use of air-conditioning through smart design and abundant greenery.
Designed by GFAB Architects, the resort will offer 47 rooms and 20 villas that seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings, featuring local craftsmanship such as contemporary Indonesian art, handmade teaware, hand-carved wood furniture, and Sumbanese sculptures.
An organic farm on-site hosts a farming school for the local community, while cultural excursions highlight the island's fishing, horseback riding, and spiritual traditions.
Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou
While mainland China is not yet fully open to foreign tourists, recent easing of domestic Covid-19 measures may indicate a broader reopening later this year.
Once China reopens to international visitors, travelers will once again be able to discover the country’s rich cultural heritage and explore a surge of new hotel openings that have been in the works over the past three years.
Late in 2023, Four Seasons will introduce an upscale property in Suzhou, just a 30-minute train ride from Shanghai.
Suzhou, one of eastern China's iconic canal cities, is renowned for its ancient stone bridges, UNESCO-listed classical gardens, and historic pagodas lining serene waterways.

Once complete, all rooms and villas will feature a tropical-luxe design by Indonesian architects Andra Martin and Gregorius Supie Yolodi, highlighting natural materials throughout.
For instance, the villas will have vertical wooden slat facades and open-plan living spaces that flow directly onto the sand.
The design will be finished with terrazzo floors, Indonesian teakwood, custom rattan furnishings, and Lombok stones, creating a seamless connection with nature.

Regent Hong Kong

First opened in 1980 on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, Regent Hong Kong quickly became one of the city's premier hotels, maintaining its reputation as a top luxury destination for the next two decades.
Originally rebranded as InterContinental Hong Kong in 2001, the hotel maintained its prestigious status for many years, located just steps from iconic attractions like Avenue of the Stars, the Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Victoria Dockside design district, and luxury shops along Nathan Road.
Two years ago, the hotel closed for a renovation aimed at restoring its former elegance, guided by the vision of Hong Kong-born architect and designer Chi Wing Lo, who introduced a refined, uplifting aesthetic.
In 2023, the hotel will be reborn, reopening as the Regent Hong Kong once again.
The 497 rooms and harbor-view suites will offer a tranquil atmosphere, with soothing neutral tones, deep-soak bathtubs, and comfortable windowfront daybeds for guests to enjoy the Hong Kong Island skyline or the nightly 'Symphony of Lights' show.
The acclaimed two-Michelin-starred restaurant, Yan Toh Heen, will remain a staple of the hotel, but will revert to its original name: Lai Ching Heen.
Once the renovations are completed, beloved spots like The Steak House and Nobu will return with refreshed interiors and updated menus. Additionally, a new cocktail lounge, Destination Bar, will offer stunning harbor views paired with vintage-inspired decor and bespoke cocktails.
