ELLERMAN HOUSE Explore South Africa’s Artistic History
South Africa’s Ellerman House presents a private experience for exploring the country’s lengthy and varied artistic history. Those staying in Villa Two get treated to grand views of the Atlantic Ocean while also having access to an infinity pool, private cinema, and entertainment area.
The Ellerman House’s private art collection encompasses works from the mid-19th century through the present. Impressionistic to contemporary styles shed light on the country’s unique geographic characteristics while also documenting its pre-globalized society. From here, the progression of paintings, drawings, and sculpture highlights the country’s diverse African heritage, its unification beginning toward the end of the 20th century, and post-modern themes.
This totals to roughly 1,000 works on the property. During your stay, take in the portrait gallery, pre-photographic era landscapes and seascapes, and distinctively South African interpretations of post-impressionism, surrealism, cubism, and expressionism. In the process, the Ellerman House’s collection showcases works from female artists, as well as pioneering black artists like Gerard Sekoto and George Pemba, and current visionaries like Benon Lutaaya, Heidi Fourie, and Blessing Ngobeni.
El Fenn
Today, the hotel beckons guests for a leisurely stay through 41 rooms, three swimming pools, a large roof terrace, and a spa – as well as a family of resident tortoises – enhanced by the area’s 300 days of sun per year and view of the Atlas Mountains. Its origins go back roughly 20 years: In 2002, owners Howell James and Vanessa Branson were on the search for a house in Marrakech and, in the process, purchased a string of small properties. As an art collector and gallerist, Branson, along with James, conceived more artistic interiors inspired by a mix of Moroccan artisanal skills, contemporary art, and mid-century modern furniture.
Growing from just six bedrooms with its opening in 2004 and fueled through word of mouth over the years, El Fenn continues to celebrate the beauty and history of Moroccan culture, delivering a serene, somewhat bohemian version of luxury connected to the surrounding community and incorporating sustainability measures to decrease its environmental impact. After adding 10 more rooms and suites through an expansion led by architect Sylvain Ragueneau in 2022, the property now consists of 13 interconnected riads covering 2,700 square meters of the Marrakech medina.
Beyond numbers, the grounds and rooms speak to its status as one of Marrakech’s most beautiful hotels, and helped it secure a spot on Condé Nast’s Gold List in 2017, 2021, and 2022. Adding to this allure, attention to design and revolving artistic elements fortify its reputation as one of the most Instagrammable locations. Courtyards of hanging gardens give way to colonnaded balconies, while the roof’s panoramic views deliver a vast perspective of Marrakech’s historic, bustling character. Along with the exterior and structural features, details –like textiles from painter-turned-designer Madeline Weinrib – round out its distinctiveness. Rooms reflect a similar aesthetic, each with an individualist vibe formed through melding mid-century European furniture and Moroccan design. The result brings the city’s vibrancy into the hotel’s interior for an invigorating experience that sets the stage for further exploration.
Luxury boutique hotel El Fenn provides an artistic and somewhat spontaneous introduction to Marrakech.
Meanwhile, the expansion took inspiration from the country’s ancient royal palaces – from frescos and tadelakt lime plastering to hand-carved cedar wood ceilings – while bringing in various bold tones, stained-glass windows, open fireplaces, and artwork from the owners’ private collections. These join works from local visual artists and artisans, plus pieces from contemporary artists like Fred Pollock and Antony Gormley, photography, paintings, and sculpture found in rooms and public areas. ■

Distinguished by its shimmering pillowedglass windows, The Silo Hotel serves as both an architectural marvel and a celebration of Cape Town’s art and beauty.
Location also plays a key role. The property sits on top of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA), home to the continent’s largest collection of contemporary art. At the same time, the hotel is situated on the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, allowing guests a panoramic view from Table Mountain to the Table Bay harbor.
Guests get an introduction to Cape Town’s art and cultural scene through 28 individually designed and decorated rooms centering around contemporary African art and complemented by private balconies for enjoying the sights and handcrafted furniture by Moorgas & Sons. The Royal Suites and Penthouse maximize these aspects, with views of the Atlantic and surrounding city. The Silo finishes this framework with dining choices developed by Executive Chef Veronica Canha-Hibbert and her team.
As Cape Town grows its profile on a global scale, the hotel flows into the V&A Waterfront’s attractions, including designer boutiques, top-tier restaurants, and street performers. Meanwhile, The Silo itself is home to a vast art collection selected by The Royal Portfolio owner Liz Biden, highlighting the continent’s prominent and emerging contemporary artists and intended to complement the offerings of Zeitz MOCAA. Present in public areas and individual rooms, works bring personality and a unique story to each space.
These are accompanied by The Vault, The Silo’s subterranean private art gallery that reflects offerings throughout the city. As part of its programming, The Silo collaborates with a different local gallery each year to showcase the works of two African artists. Works are for sale and change every six months. As well, the Lalela Project creates a platform for art from students ages 6 to 18 across South Africa.
From here, guests are encouraged to branch out. Tours can be arranged to galleries, studios, and exhibitions across Cape Town, including opportunities to meet the artists. Other attractions include hiking, biking, and outdoor trips up Lion’s Head or Table Mountain, considered one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature, or exploring the biodiversity of the Fynbos Mountains through the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, home to over 7,000 species of plants. Later, unwind at The Silo Spa, offering a mix of the latest therapies, skincare treatments, and spa techniques that can be customized to your wellness regimen. ■
The Golden Age Parlor Room
Bradley Odom
Founder and Principal Designer of Bradley Odom Interiors & Dixon Rye
Iconic Golden Age Parlor Room. Once a staple in early American homes, this space is making a comeback in the chicest way.
A Parlor Room’s design is rooted in creating a space that encourages conversation, entertainment and comfortability at its core. A place to stir up the perfect old fashioned, start a fire and converse amongst friends and family without distraction. Atlanta based interior designerBradley Odom infused these old world ways of living and brought the new life to what Parlor Rooms should be today— sophisticated, modern, inviting and intentional.
Odom’s approach to the space was to create a "More relaxed environment— separate from the living room with a television, to create a more formal intimate space catered to entertaining and conversation. We wanted the room to feel especially layered with texture, pattern, and antiques.”
Liz Caan
Interior Designer + Founder of Liz Caan & Co.
"Parlor rooms are the perfect transition space in a home. They can serve as a place to greet guests and have a small conversation without having to walk through the entire home. They can be inviting and cozy and a less formal spot than a living room. They can also double as a great spot for intimate gatherings, a place to play cards or read a book. We often find clients like to use them as a space that is private and just a little off the beaten path – a room of one’s own per se." – Liz

Cathy Purple Cherry
Founder + Principal of Purple Cherry Architects
"The difference between older parlor rooms and the parlor rooms of today is that the older version was a more formal sitting room located off of the main foyer, a closed off area that didn’t connect to any other spaces in the home. The parlor room was quite isolated and represented a formal place to meet guests, stopping them at the front foyer and keeping them from the rest of the house."
"Today’s parlor rooms are driven by the desire to have a home represented in a beautiful, pre-staged way, and the generations growing up today have an increasingly strong desire to have highly organized households – this aligns with having a beautiful sitting room, or a beautiful parlor room."
Cathy Purple Cherry ■ATHENS, GREECE Rich in Ancient History
One of the world’s oldest cities rich in ancient history and archaeological ruins, Athens has one of the greatest stories to tell through it’s lively culture, cuisine and performing arts. A trip to this city is like stepping into a modern Greek novel. Athens has a chapter written for everyone, so pack your chicest whites, gladiator sandals and an appetite for history, the arts, shopping, and cuisine.
The most well known thing to do and see in Athens is the Acropolis: the perfect introduction and unforgettable journey into the city‘s history. There are many historical sites not to be missed when touring the Acropolis, however the Parthenon, Erechtheion, Propylaea, and the Temple of Athena Nike are indispensable.
A great way to experience a city is through taste, and Athen’s is a foodie’s paradise. Spend an afternoon with Alternative Athens as you tour and taste the complex heritage that created contemporary Greek culture and cuisine throughout the different neighborhoods. Prepare your tastebuds for a burst of flavors from local products like olive oil, honey, cheese, sweets and let’s not forget the wine.
Just outside of the city center on the sophisticated Athens Riviera, at the tip of the pin-clad peninsula is the fabulous Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel. Situated on the coast of the Mediterranean with it’s perfect climate and legendary sunlight, Astir Palace is the ultimate European luxury seaside escape. After a busy day of touring and tasting, unwind and relax in the Nafsika Suite as you admire the golden Aegean sunset while sipping a glass of Malagousia from your terrace plunge pool.
Spending time in this vibrant city will leave you looking, feeling, and thinking like a Greek God or Goddess: from sunbathing under warm Mediterranean sun to indulging in the delicious cuisine to learning all about the culture’s history. ■

The natural Caribbean ingredients of land and sea are combined with classic French culinary techniques to create the perfect combination of French sophistication with an island vibe. My two favorite spots to dine are Bonito and Le Tamarin. Bonito is best described with one word: lively. Perched at the top of the hill in downtown Gustavia, enjoy fabulous views of the twinkling lights from the many yachts
harbored in the bay. This luxury laid-back beach house restaurant serves up the most creative cocktails with exceptional flair. The music of chill house music plays in the background and the crowd is there with one thing in mind: to have a great time! Enjoy French islandstyle cuisine sitting in the middle of a tropical garden. Le Tamarin is nestled in the heart of lush vegetation hidden in the shadows of ten palm trees. Don’t be fooled by it’s remote location, the guests are glamorous in their feathers and sequins while playing a boozy game of backgammon on the property. Be sure to check out the wine cellar filled with over 200 different vintages - a wine connoisseur’s haven.
For those seeking discreet romantic glamour, the posh Le Toiny is the perfect spot. Surrounded by wild and rugged terrain and located on the opposite side of the island from Gustavia, Le Toiny is perched on a winding hillside with breathtaking unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea. Nestled in the oasis of intimacy and serenity with lush palm trees and exotic flowers, this resort is wonderfully luxurious and elegant. Stay in any of their suites designed with airy, beachy decor and an outdoor space that really makes the room stand out: an infinity pool with terrific ocean views and the best sunset views right from the comfort of your lounge chairs.
Le Toiny’s exclusive beach club is a popular attraction for guests and visitor alike. Private open-air white Land Rover Safaris whisk you down several steep dirt curves to the luxurious, secluded destination. Le Toiny’s Beach Club truly offers a relaxing “feet in the sand” experience with spectacular views of Toiny Bay and an epic lunch spot. After a delicious lunch, collapse on one of the cushy loungers and live your best Caribbean life under the palm trees.
St. Barth’s is rich in all things beautiful and should be the first choice for your next relaxing holiday. ■

MAJESTIC RENAISSANCE RESIDENCE
Belora Villa
estled on more than 12 verdant acres in Greenwich's esteemed Round Hill neighborhood stands Belora Villa, a generational estate for the ages. Built in 1924, the majestic 12,145-square-foot Italian Renaissance residence boasts lavish formal entertaining rooms, luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms, and a separate well-appointed guest apartment. Park-like grounds and easy access to Greenwich and New York City amenities make this an exceptional legacy property suitable as a full-time residence or cherished retreat.
Perched on a prominent hilltop, Belora Villa enjoys glorious natural light and commanding views that stretch across the leafy property in every direction. Inside, the home's grand interiors call to mind the craftsmanship and elegance of a bygone era. Soaring ceilings trimmed with ornate moldings rise above paneled walls, swaths of marble and inlaid hardwood floors. Arched windows and columns nod to the home's Italian Renaissance inspiration, while multiple fireplaces add welcoming warmth and drama.
Among the first residents of Belora Villa were Baron Jan Carel van Panthaleon van Eck and his family, who arrived in Greenwich in the early 1930s. Descended from aristocracy, Van Eck was born in the Netherlands in 1880. After studying law, he joined the Royal DutchShell Oil Company in The Hague and later worked in the firm's London offices. By 1912, Van Eck had been tapped to lead the marketing of Shell petroleum products in the U.S. He held the title of president of Shell Oil Company in America and was later named managing director of the parent corporation in the Netherlands in 1947, after a long successful career with the company. Van Eck met and married his wife, Agnes Lilly Tillmann, in San Francisco, where they lived for years before relocating to the East Coast. The family was well-known in Greenwich society, with many of the Van Eck children's coming out events, engagement receptions and weddings taking place on the grounds of Belora Villa throughout the 1930s and 1940s.
The estate was later owned by Tommy Valando, a prolific Broadway producer and publisher of several popular scores, including "Fiddler on the Roof," "Cabaret," "Godspell" and "Sweeney Todd." Valando and his
wife Elizabeth rose to reluctant fame as the owners of racehorse Fly So Free. The first horse of many horses owned by Valando over the years, Fly So Free went on to win the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and the Florida Derby. He was a favorite to win the 1991 Kentucky Derby but fell short at fifth place.
Available for the first time in nearly 60 years, Belora Villa awaits its next generations of discerning residents.
This unrivaled Round Hill location is surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty and world-class amenities that make Greenwich one of the world's most desirable enclaves. Belora Villa is close to numerous elite golf and yacht clubs and just 10 minutes from Greenwich's renowned restaurant and upscale shopping, including Sak's Fifth Avenue, Tiffany and Apple. Sprawling preserves, trails, bridle paths and miles of Long Island Sound coastline offer immediate access to remarkable outdoor space. The Merritt Parkway, Connecticut Turnpike, Metro-North Trains and the Westchester Airport provide easy access to New York City or wherever your travels may take you. ■
