Tiny morsels from the world of Tablet
Planning to see Oasis in July and August on the UK and Ireland leg of their tour? Better book your hotel ASAP. Rooms are filling up quick in cities like Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Dublin.
The Pacific Coast Highway around Malibu has fully reopened following January’s wildfires, which means easy access to the town’s great hotels, like The Surfrider, the Hotel June, and the Malibu Beach Inn.
Speaking of the Pacific, Pikaia Lodge is considered the first luxury hotel of the Galapagos Islands. It pairs a dramatic setting on the edge of a volcanic caldera with ultra-modern design that stands out from the rugged surroundings.
Speaking of volcanoes, you don’t have to be a geologist to guess what kind of island Vulcano is, off the north coast of Sicily. And you don’t have to be a hotel expert to appreciate the black-sand beaches of its excellent Therasia Resort.
Speaking of Sicily and volcanoes, one hotel not mentioned in last week’s Sicilian road-trip roundup is the eclectic, sustainability-minded Monaci delle Terre Nere, which sits on the lower slopes of recently erupted Mount Etna.
Our hotel of the week is The Sukhothai Bangkok, which is right now offering complimentary dinner at their MICHELIN-rated restaurant when you book on Tablet. See more hotels offers.
Speaking of Thailand, the absolutely unique Xcape River Kwai has lodgings ranging from floating cabins on the River Kwai to sculptural pool villas inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater.
The longest stay booked on Tablet this week was 14 nights at Le 1932 Hotel & Spa Cap d’Antibes, a timeless hotel in Provence that’s dedicated to the glamour of the interwar era.
Speaking of Provence, Villa La Coste contains an eye-watering collection of art, with works by Louise Bourgeois, Richard Serra, Frank Gehry, Oscar Niemeyer, Tadao Ando — even Bob Dylan and Michael Stipe. Read our in-depth profile.
“It doesn’t matter what country someone’s from, or what they look like, or the color of their skin. It doesn’t matter what they smell like, or that they spell words slightly differently–some would say, more correctly. I’m a person. You’re a person. That person over there is a person. And each person deserves to be treated like a person.” — Jemaine Clement, Flight of the Conchords
