Opened For Business

Edwardian Charm

A taste of London luxury awaits at No. Ten Manchester Street, a 44-bedroom boutique hotel in the heart of Marylebone Village. Spread across a beautiful Edwardian-style townhouse, the hotel’s rooms and suites showcase the unique architecture from that era, and are each fitted with bespoke Christopher Guy furniture and Hypnos beds. Indulge with an in-room spa session, or kick back at the cigar lounge, known for being one of London’s finest cigar venues. Dine at the hotel’s Diecci Restaurant, an elegant, informal setting where one can unwind while tucking into authentic Italian flavours.

Modern Heritage

New boutique hotel Timez Hotel Melaka pays homage to the city’s colourful past while catering to modern travellers. Housed in a converted pre-war building, its 15 individually designed rooms and suites are themed around five cultures that have helped define Melaka through the centuries. Hand-strung beads in the Manek room harken back to traditional Peranakan influences, while the Azujelos Room celebrates the Portuguese tiles of the same name. At the lobby, be greeted by 62 pieces of Swatch watches from a private collection, and tuck into Asian-Western fusion delights at SuperRabbit Café before heading out for a day of exploration.

Calming Oasis

Set amid lush gardens, Templation Hotel Angkor draws inspiration from wonders both natural and manmade – that of the abundant greenery and tropical flora surrounding it as well as the waterways and reservoirs that once nurtured the ancient Khmer city of Angkor. Priding itself in sustainable practices, the resort uses solar panels for its energy needs, powering 33 living spaces that mostly come with their own private pools. Open designs invite guests to rest, relax and contemplate, whether it’s at the lounge and bar area, the swimming pool or the restaurant, which offers Asian, Khmer and Western flavours.

Renewing Retreat

Following a major expansion, refurbishment and rebranding, La Siesta Resort and Spa Hoi An reopens with a brand new East Wing, a luxurious 37-room annexe that encompasses a spa, saltwater pool and fine-dining venue. Meticulous attention to detail permeates the new wing, featuring handcrafted teak furniture and polished wood flooring. Poolside suites come with deep wooden bathtubs and private Swedish saunas, while Duplex suites feature expansive balconies overlooking the pool. Blending tradition with modern luxury, guests can enjoy handmade toiletries from the resort’s own line of spa products, Samsung soundbars and espresso coffee makers, as well as access to services such as a personal butler.
