The Uyuni Salt Flats of Bolivia are a mesmerizing, otherworldly landscape, and one of those places you just have to see for yourself.

Opened this spring, this is not the type of accommodation where you’ll […]
High up on the 39th floor in London’s Gherkin skyscraper, you’ll find The Helix Restaurant. Named for the latticed architecture, the domed structure has excellent 360-degree views over the city and is the setting for a sophisticated but fun new partnership between Helix and William Curley, master chocolatier.

In celebration of Chinese New Year Hakkasan Hanway Place and Hakkasan Mayfair have created a divine set menu climaxing with a classic fortune cookie with a dark twist. Tucked down a side street off London’s bustling Oxford Circus, Hakkasan Hanway Place is located on a subterranean level. The restaurant’s design is as cool as the cuisine; designed by famed interior […]

This story originally appeared in the January/February 2019 issue of Elite Traveler. To think of Gray Malin is to envision pastel-hued, full-of-life photographs. His style is as iconic as the locations he shoots (Namibia, Bhutan and Antarctica), and his work is transportive — the instantly recognizable bird’s-eye-view shots of beaches, parks and ski resorts evoke fond memories of fun vacations.
