Where to Stay
The 45 Best New Luxury Hotels to Visit in 2022
If you're ready to up your travel schedule this year Robb Report has compiled an outstanding list of the best new luxury hotels for 2022. Notably many boutique and niche brands are expanding pretty aggressively, like Group Berriére (now in New York), Langham Hospitality (into Gold Coast, Australia), Nobu Hospitality (opening in Marrakesh), Pendry Hotels & Resorts (now in Park City, UT), and many others.

At Home
Top 10 Cabins of 2021
Maybe your plans for 2022 include something closer to home...Yanko Design has compiled their top cabins from last year. A lot of smaller and 'tiny' home design on the list. I'm partial to number 8, the Grand Pic-Chalet. Read more about it here from APPAREIL architecture.

What to Drink
The World's Best Selling Cocktails
Drinks International polled bars around the world to figure what the top cocktails are...spoiler alert, the best selling cocktail is apparently the Negroni. Anyone on Instagram probably could have told you that. I like mine with a bit of extra Campari.

In Transit
What it's Like on The World's Shortest Flight
There's a lot of articles about the worlds longest flights. They're all globe crossing journeys on wide body aircraft that looks glamorous if you're in first class maybe, but less so for everyone else. Which makes the worlds longest flights probably some of the most torturous. BUT, what about the world's shortest flight? CNN documents the 2 minute and 40 second flight between two of Scotland's Orkney Islands.
