Life Among THE VINES
Elyse Walker has traded Los Angeles for the Napa Valley life—and she’s never felt more at home.
BY BOOTH MOORE
When fashion designer Elyse Walker decamped with her family from Los Angeles to Napa Valley during the pandemic, she never dreamed it would create a business opportunity—or become permanent. But just as tart grapes can yield a particularly entrancing sauvignon blanc, sometimes wonderful things happen when you take a leap.
So in 2023, Walker opened her seventh namesake boutique in a historic 1800s brick building in St. Helena. It quickly became the town’s luxury fashion epicenter—filling a void in this affluent enclave renowned for its high-end resorts and Michelin-starred dining. Now, Bottega Veneta, Valentino, and jeweler Jenna Blake are among the prestigious brands that have hosted events and launched exclusive collections at Walker’s Main Street store, which has grown famous for its shopping pairings, such as wine and tequila complementing personal styling services.
Aesthetes from throughout the valley gravitate toward Walker’s signature high/low curation that seamlessly transitions from vineyard days to evening charity galas. Among the finds are laid-back Xirena cotton poplin separates, alluring watercolor-print dresses by Colombian designer Silvia Tcherassi, raffia bags by The Row, and recycled goldand-diamond bangles by Nouvel Héritage.
For Walker, Napa Valley offers more than fashion—it also delivers a richer social life than her L.A. days ever did. “We call it summer camp for grown-ups,” she says. She reveals her go-to Napa Valley haunts, hidden gems, and favorite pours.

Kemo Sabe owner Wendy Kunkle steam shapes a customer’s hat to fit like a glove before accessorizing it with custom touches like partridge feathers and designer hatbands.
Where the West Was Worn
Kemo Sabe’s Western hats are more than an Aspen staple: They’re heritage wrapped in American craftsmanship.
The doors to Kemo Sabe, Aspen’s cult Western wear store, have just opened, and the space is already buzzing like a Nashville honky-tonk. George Strait croons “Cowboys Like Us” over the speakers as half a dozen women wearing shiny cowgirl boots grab colorful plumes, vintage pins, and branding irons to personalize beaver and rabbitfur hats. A shopper swaps her heels for a pair of low-cut Stallion Zorro boots crafted from blue python, while others browse glass cases filled with vintage turquoise jewelry and exotic leather hatbands. The store’s VIPs are ushered
past a velvet rope and up a set of stairs to a tin-coffered bar already serving stiff drinks.
When Tom and Nancy Yoder founded Kemo Sabe in 1990, they had one mission: turn everyone into a cowboy. They never imagined their high-crowned, wide-brimmed hats would become Aspen’s most essential accessory, worn by everyone from the valets at Hotel Jerome, Auberge Collection, to snowboarding stars like Shaun White. The joke around town is that the overhead bins on flights to and from Pitkin County Airport are always full because everyone is traveling with their Kemo Sabe.
Counter-clockwise, from top left: Kemo Sabe is known for its bespoke hat branding, which includes everything from initials to moon-and-stars decals. Kunkle says she feels naked without her classic silverbelly Gus-style cowboy hat. Hatbands are crafted from rare materials such as hippo hide and black diamonds.
Kemo Sabe’s accessory bar stocks dozens of shades of plume and ribbon in materials ranging from satin to silk, as well as vintage pins, matchbooks, and cards.
Despite the spectacle, Kemo Sabe remains devoted to preserving American craftsmanship, says Wendy Kunkle, who purchased the shop from the Yoders in 2020. The company’s hat ranch has since moved from Basalt, Colorado, to Gainesville, Texas, but each hat under the brand’s Grit label is still handcrafted using a century-old process that requires 150 steps from start to finish.
Black and silverbelly—a distinctive silver-gray—are traditional cowboy hat colors, but Kemo Sabe crafts hats in unorthodox shades too, from bold magenta to cornflower blue. Kunkle considers it a democratization of the cowboy look. “There is no right or wrong style,” she says. Even more important is the hat’s shape, which is steamed to fit the wearer’s head like a glove. Customers can choose from three styles: the classic Cattleman, featuring a tall crown with three creases; the flat-brimmed Cavalry; or Kunkle’s favorite, the Gus, with a tall crown and sloping center crease.
“Our hats might be a fashion statement for some customers, but to me, they’re a reminder of our American heritage—and Aspen’s Western roots.”
—WENDY KUNKLE
While the shape and fit of Kemo Sabe’s hats follow Western hat-making tradition, the store’s accessories bar is liable to stop a classic cowboy in his spurred boots. Drawers overflow with satin and velvet ribbon; glass bottles are stuffed with partridge, peacock, and ostrich feathers; vintage matchbooks and cards are stacked by the dozen; and racks display hatbands made from old horse reins, brass bullets, and even a $3,600 braided leather band with 14-karat gold and black diamonds crafted by jeweler David Heston. “You can’t go around the corner to Gucci and design your own bag,” Kunkle says. “Our hats are truly the accessory no one else will have.”
Many of those accessories come from American artisans, whose work and legacy Kunkle hopes to preserve through Kemo Sabe. She commissioned Oklahoma jewelers Stacey and Chris DeGraffenreid of Love Tokens to make sterling silver hat pinches and pins in whimsical designs like a pair of skis and a martini glass.
Black and silver gray are traditional cowboy hat colors, but Kunkle believes clients should own a hat to match every season. At Kemo Sabe, unconventional shades include persimmon, moss green, and cobalt blue.
No flaws allowed. In the shop’s upstairs bar, an imperfect hat is doused in the brand’s newly released True Grit tequila and set aflame. Opposite: Men once ruled the West, but at Kemo Sabe, Kunkle employs a mostly female staff.
Georgia-based craftsman Jake Asuit is another creative partner who forges gorgeous Damascus steel hat knives with handles fashioned from mammoth tusks and mother-of-pearl. Wyoming leatherworker Trajan Vieira fashions hand-tooled and filigreed leather belts. And the Texas-based Bohlin family restores antique buckles, including those once worn by Western royalty like John Wayne and Clark Gable. In 2021, Kunkle also acquired a boot company in El Paso, Texas, to produce True Grit boots, which are stocked alongside other designers such as Montana’s Canty Boots.
As Kemo Sabe spreads beyond Aspen to other Western meccas in Utah, Texas, and Montana, Kunkle remains committed to extending the genre’s heritage with a new generation of artisans. “Our hats might be a fashion statement for some customers,” she says, “but to me, they’re a reminder of our American heritage—and Aspen’s Western roots.”
Right, from top: Kunkle acquired the J.B. Hill boot factory in El Paso, Texas. Now called Kemo Sabe True Grit, it still employs most of the original factory bootmakers. Hot steam is the secret to a perfectly molded cowboy hat.

Van Cleef & Arpels transforms precious metal and gemstones into enchanting automatons—centuries-old mechanical marvels that continue to captivate and spark the imagination today.
BY KRISTEN SHIRLEY
Van Cleef & Arpels’ Fontaine aux Oiseaux automaton features a carved gold feather dial set with purple sapphires, tsavorites, and emeralds. Opposite: Birds dance on the edge of the automaton’s fountain.
Van Cleef & Arpels is widely known for its exquisite, distinctly feminine jewelry designs, but the French maison has also emerged as a visionary force in haute horology with its automatons.
Sophisticated descendants of 18th-century time-keeping artistry, these one-of-a-kind masterpieces blend the mechanics of a clock with an unparalleled sense of whimsy, glamour, and creativity, telling stories through mesmerizing, animated scenes: Ballerinas twirl across motherof-pearl dials, fairies wave diamond-dusted wands, and lovers embrace on miniature Parisian bridges—all brought to life within the confines of artistically crafted watch dials.
In 2017, Van Cleef & Arpels raised the bar even higher when it unveiled its first-ever
large-scale automaton: Fée Ondine, an extraordinary clock topped with an animated bejeweled fairy that took seven years to complete. Since then, the house has continued to develop large-scale automaton clocks, featuring dramatic scenes-in-motion such as blooming flowers and orbiting planets.
The maison’s newest automaton, Fontaine aux Oiseaux, is perhaps its most complex—and romantic—yet. Requiring the collaborative efforts of 20 specialist workshops across France and Switzerland, it took 25,200 hours to create. When activated, water in the basin starts to ripple, a water lily blossoms, and a dragonfly rises into the air. Two birds perched on the edge of the basin lift their heads in song, and, their wings raised, move toward each other in a display of courtship.
Clockwise, from opposite: The dragonfly’s wings are crafted from white mother-of-pearl inlaid with transparent plique-à-jour enamel and diamonds. Artisans used traditional methods to prepare the lacquer for the basin. The bird’s head is sculpted from yellow gold and set with gemstones. The top of the basin is crafted with Japanese eggshell marquetry.
Clockwise, from top right: The rippling water is made from 50 pieces of curved stones, including chalcedony and rock crystal, and the water lily leaves and flowers are crafted with cloisonné lacquer. The flower opens to reveal a gem-set center. The gold birds are meticulously assembled. The back of each bird is set with a geometric motif of inlaid gemstones.
Watch enthusiasts can experience Van Cleef & Arpels’s creations firsthand at Watches & Wonders, the industry’s premiere event where top brands unveil new models for the trade and public. This year’s showcase takes place in Geneva April 1–7, 2026—and The Woodward, Auberge Collection, will be the most coveted place to stay among attendees.

Meet Me
Mountain on the
Modern-day Aspen was built on the belief that the Colorado ski town could be a place where people would come for culture, nature, and a life well lived. Today, that ethos lives on among the global tastemakers who frequent it.
Nearly anyone who knows Aspen knows the Paepcke name—that is, Walter and Elizabeth Paepcke. Like Aspen royalty, they are the founding father and mother—the original thought leaders—of the beloved Colorado mountain retreat as we know it today.
During the 1940s, the Paepckes arrived in Aspen as so many do: to ski. Instantly smitten with the fresh air, jaw-dropping mountain landscapes, and pervasive sense of pure optimism those elements fostered in them, the couple began to lure more of their well-heeled friends to join them. Artists and architects, intellectuals and politicians—they all came together to embody what became known as the “Aspen Idea.” In short, it was the belief that the town could be a place where people would come to nourish their minds, bodies, and spirits through art, music, education,
and discussion, as well as physical activities like hiking and skiing. The driving notion was simple: Aspen was the key to a better self.
Today, their vision lives on throughout Aspen, in Paepcke Park, a beloved green oasis surrounded by 360-degree mountain views in the heart of downtown; in museums and venerable institutions like the Bayer Center and the Aspen Institute; in annual events like the Aspen Ideas Festival; and at Hotel Jerome, Auberge Collection, the legendary landmark owned by Dan Friedkin and part of The Friedkin Group.
The Aspen Idea also endures through a new generation of tastemakers: artists, collectors, athletes, and entrepreneurs—all modern Paepckes in their own right, drawn by the powerful lure of inimitable Aspen.
Aerin Lauder has been visiting Aspen since childhood. Today, its mountains are both a personal and creative inspiration.
MOUNTAIN SOUL
AERIN LAUDER
Aerin Lauder has referred to her home in Aspen as her “tree house.” It’s an appropriate metaphor for the place where Lauder—successor to one of the most famous beauty dynasties and founder of the lifestyle brand Aerin—retreats to unwind, disconnect, and escape the frenzy of Manhattan.
“For me, Aspen is a place that speaks to the magic of the American West,” she says. “It’s all about family and friends.”
When Lauder and her brood—husband Eric Zinterhofer and the couple’s two grown sons—arrive at their modern glass house nestled in the trees, it’s strictly family time. After a day on the slopes, they retire to their cozy perch, designed by her friend, the architect and interior decorator Daniel Romualdez, for family-style meals, board games, and watching classic films around the fire. Lauder finds the escape to be more than good for her soul; it’s good for business too. Taking in the majestic beauty of her surroundings has inspired her namesake brand’s candles, tableware—even a backgammon set.
It was her uncle, the late Leonard Lauder, who first introduced her to Aspen, 50 years ago. Back then, the mountain town was known more as a haven for ski bums and bohemians than billionaires with Lear jets. “That was the real heyday,” Lauder
recalls of her earliest visits. “I remember doing the first tracks with my uncle as a little girl.” She would carve through the fresh powder first thing in the morning—a tradition she carries on today.
Lauder still leans into Aspen’s vintage side, preferring old-school eateries like French Alpine Bistro for crepes in the morning, or Hickory House Ribs, a no-fuss barbecue joint. She’s a regular at Hotel Jerome, Auberge Collection—itself an icon for its Jerome Wheeler architecture dating to the late 19th century—as well as Gorsuch, the original Colorado ski outfitter that opened its doors in town in 1978. She’s also an ardent fan of Kemo Sabe for its commitment to the enduring craft behind Western wear. Occasionally, she indulges in the modern Aspen scene too: dinner at Casa Tua, cocktails at the Caribou Club.
Still, Lauder prefers the low-key Aspen of her youth. No, you will not find her at Cloud Nine, the popular ski hut perched at 11,000 feet, dancing on tables and shooting Champagne guns. Instead, she usually hides out during the high season, preferring the quiet of late winter and spring, when “the very same mountains covered in snow become a riot of wildflowers”—a beautiful rebirth that reliably arrives every year, just like Lauder herself, ready for another recharge.

PATRON OF THE ARTS
JEN RUBIO
“There’s something about being in nature here in Aspen that makes people less guarded and more open,” says Jen Rubio, co-founder of Away luggage and part-time resident of the Colorado resort town. “Even when you’re with the most impressive and important people at an event or conference, it doesn’t feel like networking—or work really.”
Aspen’s mountains first called to Rubio when she was invited to speak at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference there. “I was thinking, Why Aspen?” she recalls. She attended, and the reason instantly crystallized: “space, clarity, and a deeper connection to nature,” she says. A few years later, in 2019, she and her then-fiancé Stewart Butterfield—cofounder of Flickr and Slack—returned, craving more of those wonderful things that made Aspen a place to think and breathe. They purchased a home in town and, a few months later, held their wedding ceremony at the top of Snowmass Mountain.
Today, as a co-chair of the annual Aspen Art Museum fundraiser ArtCrush, Rubio has been instrumental in bringing robust new programming and consequential artists—including Glenn Ligon and Matthew Barney— to her new Colorado home. “I’m especially drawn to the creative energy of the town,” she says. “There’s a palpable sense of curiosity, of community, and of ideas being exchanged in meaningful ways.”
Rubio, who was born in the Philippines and raised in New Jersey, didn’t grow up around art, but her life experiences have instilled in her a
great appreciation for it. She has amassed a wide range of works—including pieces by Dutch Old Masters, contemporary painters like Salman Toor and Louis Fratino, and surrealists like Leonora Carrington and Dorothea Tanning—as well as objets d’art such as a collection of jewelry boxes that spans the medieval period to present day. What’s equally impressive is her unpretentious and democratic approach to collecting: She lingers on the soul of a piece rather than its sticker price, a quality that connects her to other Aspen collectors, many of whom share her low-key attitude.
“The caliber of art you see in people’s homes here is unrivaled,” she says, recalling a show at the Aspen Art Museum a few years ago that featured works by Anish Kapoor, Kerry James Marshall, and Robert Gober—all on loan from local collectors. “The works were something you’d expect to see at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, but it was all from Aspen. People here really live with their art in their house, so it feels very meaningful and intimate.”
While Rubio and her family now shuttle between Manhattan, the Hamptons, Aspen, and a ranch in New Mexico, it is first and foremost the Colorado town that cultivates something unique inside her. “Aspen has a way of stripping things back to what matters,” she says. “Whether I’m thinking through a creative project, building a new venture, or simply exploring what’s next, I find that Aspen helps me connect the dots in a different way. It’s a place where I can be both expansive and grounded.”

Preserving nature and supporting the arts are two enduring family principles that fashion
scion Edoardo Zegna is bringing to Aspen.
BY CHRISTINA BINKLEY
EDOARDO ZEGNA
Everyone has a secret. For Edoardo Zegna, it’s his paintings—pieces only his wife has seen. “It takes a lot to put your most raw and visceral emotion on a piece of canvas and then share it,” says Edoardo, the scion of Italy’s Zegna textile and fashion empire.
Edoardo was raised in an art-steeped household; his childhood home even included a room filled with Ansel Adams photographs of aspen trees. That was an early foreshadowing to the place that has become central to his adult life: He now decamps to Aspen for Christmas and summer during his children’s school breaks. “It’s like an embrace,” he says.
Along with art, nature has been a passion for every generation of the Zegna lineage. A century ago, Edoardo’s great-grandfather, company founder Ermenegildo Zegna, established his wool mill amid the densely forested Biellese Alps in Trivero, Italy. It was more than a workshop: Ermenegildo was committed to weaving something meaningful into the fabric of his new company. Thus, he began commissioning local artists, a family practice that still endures today: One of the company’s earliest art collaborators was Ettore Pistoletto Olivero, whose now 92-year-old son, Michelangelo Pistoletto, a Nobel Prize candidate, currently works with the family through its charitable Zegna Foundation. “He has seen this all come to life,” Edoardo says.
Established in 2000, the Zegna Foundation supports environmental conservation and education in arts and culture around the world—including in Aspen. Last summer, the foundation sponsored ArtCrush with a gala dinner at the Aspen Art Museum, and its Oasi Zegna Global Initiatives launched an ambitious reforestation and forest protection plan in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and the Aspen Fire Department. Last spring, Zegna also announced a collaboration with the international art fair giant Art Basel.
For his part, Edoardo has collected art since he was an undergraduate at Georgetown University. “My dearest pieces are the pieces that maybe have absolutely no market value,” he says. “It gives me pleasure. It brings me back to when I bought it, and what that moment was, and who I was.”
That memory connection comes full circle in Aspen, a place that felt familiar to Edoardo even on his first visit—a sensory recollection no doubt explained by those Ansel Adams pieces on the walls of his childhood home. But these days, those aspen trees aren’t just art; they’re reminders of the fragile Aspen ecosystem he and his family seek to preserve. “How beautiful is an aspen tree as a whole?” he says. “Mind-blowing.”

ICE QUEEN
AMBER GLENN
When Amber Glenn talks about Colorado, her voice shifts—lighter, almost as if she’s pulling the mountain air straight into her lungs. For the figure skater, the state is more than a training base; it’s a landscape that’s shaped her.
Three years ago, Glenn packed up her life in Plano, Texas, and drove north. She’d been chasing skating dreams since she was 5, but Colorado offered something Texas couldn’t: Olympic-level ice, altitude, and a view that made her stop midglide. “There was one moment I remember as a kid coming here for competitions,” Glenn says. “I looked out the rink windows and saw the mountain lit up in the morning light. I was just in awe.”
Now, these mountains greet her daily. They’ve become a kind of silent coach—towering, steady, and impossible to ignore. “I moved to Colorado for skating” she says. “But I’ve also found a way of life that makes me better in more ways than I expected.”
Her days are a mix of discipline and neighborly ease. There’s the grind—intense hours on the ice with coaches Damon Allen and Tammy Gambill—and then the pockets of calm: dog walks with her Schipperke, Ukkima, and coffee on her porch while watching the snow gently fall.
That balance has seeped into her skating too. Long known as a technical achiever, Glenn has embraced artistry in Colorado. “Before, I was definitely more of a strength and powerhouse,” she says. “Now, when I skate, it’s about feeling something.”
It shows. Glenn landed a competition triple Axel in 2023 and claimed the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final title last year, the first American woman in over a decade to do so. And she’s found a powerful voice, speaking openly about being a part of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as her challenges with ADHD and anxiety. “I want young skaters to see that struggling doesn’t mean you can’t succeed,” she says.
When her training schedule allows, Glenn heads for the high country of Aspen. “There’s this energy there—glamorous but also peaceful, if you know where to look,” she says. That often means an unhurried afternoon wandering Explore Booksellers, a Victorian house turned literary landmark.
This winter, Glenn is aiming for her biggest stage yet: the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina. And she’s doing so with a new approach learned from her move to the mountains. “I used to think pushing harder was the only way,” she says. “Now I understand it’s about knowing when to push and when to breathe.”
Amber Glenn owns the ice in a blazer, vest, shirt dress, trousers, belt, and bra from Michael Kors Collection, michaelkors.com.
Crest of Luxury
South of Aspen, in another beloved mountain town, Madeline Hotel & Residences, Auberge Collection’s new Crest Club is rewriting Telluride’s après playbook.
Perched at 9,545 feet above sea level, the new Crest Club at Madeline Hotel & Residences, Auberge Collection is quietly redefining the notion of ski-in/skiout. The French-chalet-style members-only retreat is the most exclusive private ski club in the Rockies—and a first for Telluride.
Designed by Rose Ink Workshop, chic interiors reimagine the classic stübe aesthetic through a distinctly Telluride lens, with moody marble and blackened steel fireplaces, vintage-inspired furnishings, and botanical flourishes that feel as though an alpine trail has meandered indoors for a well-earned rest. At the club’s heart is the
Falcon Room, a jewel-box bar and cocktail lounge where members gather over bespoke libations and explore an extensive spirits library that includes rare bottles such as Pappy Van Winkle and a single-vineyard Cognac from 1972.
The experience starts even before members click into their skis. A suite of peak perks includes year-round valet parking, private lockers with boot and glove dryers, the option of heli-skiing adventures, and coveted first tracks on untouched trails—all proving that the pinnacle of Telluride may no longer be the summit of Palmyra Peak. It’s waiting at the base at Crest Club.
At Madeline Hotel & Residences, Auberge Collection—named #1 Resort in Colorado by Travel + Leisure’s 2025 World’s Best Awards List— the new Crest Club blends classic chalet style with a touch of Western flair.

theAround Artisan’s Table
At Wildflower Farms, Auberge Collection, interior designer Staver Gray and artisan marketplace Abask host a late autumn gathering filled with crafts that reflect the dramatic Hudson Valley landscapes.
The firepit is roaring on the Great Porch. In the distance, the majestic peaks of the Shawangunk Mountains shimmer with the season’s changing colors. In the field outside Maplehouse, the table is set for a warm and welcoming feast amid a kaleidoscope of oranges, reds, yellows, and greens.
Interior designer Staver Gray, who along with Christie Ward at their firm Ward + Gray, conceived the interiors for Wildflower Farms, Auberge Collection, is putting the final touches on a tablescape filled with artisanal ceramics, glassware, and linens, along with her own Venetian glass table lamp. It’s a celebration of nature and artisanship—two things found in abundance at the Hudson Valley resort.
“Wildflower Farms is the kind of place that feels as though it was passed down through generations, with furnishings that feel personal and authentic, and enhance
the sense of home,” Gray says. “Coming here feels like stepping into a friend’s eclectic country home.”
This philosophy guided the creation of Wildflower Farms’ 65 contemporary cabins and suites, where bespoke furnishings mingle with curated antiques, each piece reflecting the region’s distinctive character. It’s all in the details: Ward even photographed the landscapes across the resort’s 140 secluded acres to replicate their hues in custom-woven rugs, ensuring that even the textiles mirror the serene surroundings.
That respect for authenticity and craftsmanship echoes the ethos of Abask, a luxury online curator of handcrafted, international home pieces. “It’s a source for unique, standout products that shine a light on the makers and their process,” Gray says. Throughout Wildflower Farms, their artisan-first visions come together in beautiful spaces that showcase the intersecting arts of nature and decoration to create a warm welcome for all.
At Wildflower Farms, Auberge Collection, Staver Gray sets the table at Maple Lane with Osanna Visconti bronze candle holders and Los Vasos De Agua Clara crystal jug. She wears Ryan Roche’s slip dress and cashmere-and-silk sweater.

The Manor Reborn
French designer Jean-Louis Deniot has mastered the art of embracing—and evolving—tradition in perfect harmony. For his latest project, he applies his signature style to a London grande dame: the soon-to-open Cambridge House, Auberge Collection.
BY CHARLES CURKIN
Jean-Louis Deniot doesn’t rush.
Not when he designs, and not when he walks through Cambridge House, the 18th-century Palladian-style townhouse in London’s Mayfair neighborhood that the Paris-based architect and interior designer is currently restoring.
Commissioned in 1756, the Grade I–listed neoclassical building has had many lives (including as home to British Prime Minister Henry John Temple in the mid-1800s and as the former In & Out Naval and Military Club), but none quite like what Deniot has dreamed up for Auberge Collection’s newest property. “Cambridge House is a grand, beautiful mansion that felt suspended in time—a real Sleeping Beauty,” he says of the first time he saw the building. “There was something instantly familiar about it. It has that worldly British grandeur.”
Deniot was a natural choice to lead its transformation. Famous for his opulent projects, such as Château Latour winery (owned by François Pinault), his residential style—artistic pieds-à-terre in Paris, elegant estates in Beverly Hills, contemporary apartments in New York City—and his deep knowledge of English residential architecture made him a perfect fit for the monumental undertaking.
It also helped that his signature style marries the gravitas of French neoclassicism with an eclectic, British sensibility. Architecturally,
Deniot often favors a French enfilade approach to floor plans, a sequence of rooms with doors aligned on a singular axis that can result in palatial sight lines.
Influenced by designers like Henri Samuel— a decorator for the Rothschilds—Deniot balances formality with theatricality. Purism isn’t his style: He once turned a one-of-akind Ado Chale dining table into a coffee table for his office, a choice that would leave more timid decorators clutching their pearls.
Deniot’s connection to this particular building in Mayfair, though, was purely instinctive. “No one ever taught me the English style,” he says. “It’s a memory of the eye.”
Looking to the works of famed traditional English architects like Sir Edwin Lutyens, Deniot identified first what to preserve and second what to evolve. “The Adam style is so pure and balanced, and that was something I really wanted to protect,” he says. “But there were many things that needed correcting: the symmetry, the proportions, the light. We improved everything we could, always in total harmony with the original.” The highest compliment, he adds, is when his work becomes invisible.
Deniot’s approach blends precision with theater. In a building like this, every room needed to offer a different mood. “You don’t walk through this hotel, but rather you move from one

surprise to the next,” he says. A guest might leave a light-filled historic tea salon to discover a richly colored cocktail lounge or hidden ivy-covered courtyard. “I wanted everyone to find their favorite corner.” That demanded a sweep of moods, styles, and references—all while remaining true to the structure’s original Georgian aesthetic. “We wanted to be eclectic with the furnishings. You feel grounded by the past, activated by the present.”
One challenge: Much of what looks original to Cambridge House, in fact, isn’t. “Half of the building is new,” Deniot says, referring to the extension to the original home. “Because of that, I designed architectural details that blur the line, so you can’t tell where the old structure ends and the new one begins.” Additions are so seamless, even those deeply familiar with the historic structure might not notice. “In the English tradition, when there’s a system of ornament, it’s often repeated. I paid close attention to unifying the rooms.”
In the public spaces, Deniot thought through every scale and surface. “When a room is very grand, you need to humanize it,” he says. “The person has to be the center of interest. They shouldn’t feel overwhelmed.” That meant layering the lighting, from floor to ceiling, and adding visual warmth at eye level, the way candlelit interiors once did. It also required shaping the furniture, sight lines, colors, and corners with comfort in mind. “I varied seat heights and table heights to make them lower and more loungelike.” Even the most imposing space has a nook that feels like it’s meant just for you.
“Every guest room is designed like an English apartment; it feels like your own London flat.”
—JEAN-LOUIS DENIOT
That personal scale carries over to the guest rooms, where Deniot set out to capture the feeling of a private residence. “Every room is designed like an English apartment; it feels like your own London flat,” he says. His studio designed every piece of furniture to control proportion and create a sense of unity, giving the rooms a lived-in balance. “It should feel as if everything had always been there.”
That’s especially true of the historic suites, each of which is dedicated to a sovereign such as Victoria, Mary II, and Elizabeth II. “Each suite reflects the character of that monarch,” he says. “Sometimes just changing the finish of a fabric, a wall color, or a light fixture gives you the aura of a different reign.” Bespoke furnishings allowed the designer to further explore hybrids of old and new. A barrel chair, deeply comfortable, might stand on Chippendale legs. “I felt that everything had to feel at home in a historic setting,” Deniot adds.
With this masterpiece set to be completed in 2026, Deniot likes to imagine the future of Cambridge House long after its doors have opened. “I hope the work is respected enough that one day it becomes listed,” he says. “That is to say that it remains unchanged and ultimately landmarked.”
Still, the ultimate litmus test of a successful and authentic reinvention is perhaps Deniot’s own stamp of approval—and that, Cambridge House has. “I don’t know why,” he says, “but, even as a Frenchman, I feel very at home here.”

Jewelry designer Carolina Bucci shines a contemporary light on Florence’s historic crafts.
From her tiny workshop tucked into the arches of the Ponte Vecchio, fourth-generation jeweler Carolina Bucci gazes out the window at the Arno River. The view is a reminder of the city’s rich past—and a link to its future. Bucci’s atelier is part of a centuries-old unbroken tradition, which began in 1593 when Ferdinando I de’ Medici decreed that only goldsmiths and jewelers could occupy the coveted spaces on the city’s bridge. Still today, visitors crowd its gold-filled shops for Italian-made jewelry.
Bucci grew up visiting her grandfather and father in their cramped Ponte Vecchio workshops, where they crafted classic gold pieces for the
stores on the bridge and also supplied to well-known brands. Though she believed tradition was central to her family’s trade, after studying jewelry design in New York City, she had a new vision for the business.
“I wanted to make fine jewelry that is modern, fun, and relaxed,” Bucci says. In 2002, with the encouragement of her father, she launched her namesake brand, Carolina Bucci, with contemporary, playful pieces crafted in her family’s ateliers using age-old techniques.
Bold cuffs and pendants feature her signature Florentine finish, a sparkly texture that is achieved through hours

of delicate hand-hammering. Knitted bracelets and necklaces, inspired by the string friendship bracelets she made during summers at Forte dei Marmi, are woven in 18-karat gold on old Florentine textile looms. And her 1885 collection—the year her greatgrandfather founded his business—features elongated, oversized gold-link chains.
Bucci’s appreciation for classic Florentine artistry goes well beyond her own creations. Her favorite local makers have crafted pieces for her stores in Florence and London, as well as her newest outpost in Montecito. “I wanted to show my clients my world,” she says. “These are my passion projects. They help tell the story of hardearned skills and preserving craftsmanship.”
Bucci’s collaborations with local makers are personal too. She has commissioned Loretta Caponi, a family-owned linen business established in 1967, to create embroidered accessories and a colorful capsule dress collection. And she turns to Sbigoli Terrecotte, a local ceramics workshop founded in 1857, to handcraft custom candle vessels with a stripe in her signature blue.
“I grew up with Sbigoli pots in my mother’s kitchen for the flour, sugar, and everything,” she says. Even the scent of the candles she places in those pots is custom: “I hired

Italian nose Giorgia Navarra to capture my favorite smell that permeates the air with the breezes at the end of summer.” That distinct scent is expressed with base notes of amber, musk, and light woody accord with pomegranate at its heart and citrus top notes. Bucci also frequents Murano glassmaker Laguna~B for handblown glasses and 250-year-old Pineider for stationery sets.
Each one-of-a-kind piece is a beautiful manifestation of Bucci’s beloved Florence. To bring her many memories of her native city to life, she also visits Collegio alla Querce, Auberge Collection, her former high school in the Le Cure neighborhood. Staying in the hotel helps her reconnect with her own legacy, as well as admire its new connection to Florence’s past and present. “Auberge did a beautiful job evolving this historic space, while at the same time maintaining and respecting its Renaissance spirit,” she says.
That philosophy—honoring Florence’s past by ensuring its ancient crafts remain a part of the city’s future—drives Bucci every day. “You must keep evolving,” she says. And all the inspiration she needs is right outside her window.

TURNING THE TIDE ON TOTOABA
“I’ve always had a connection to the sea,” says chef Yvan Mucharraz, Chileno Bay, Auberge Collection’s culinary experiences director. “But I was never fully conscious of it until I moved to Mexico City for culinary school.” The time away from his coastal home was intense, especially as he traveled farther afield for his craft, rising through the ranks of the global culinary scene in the kitchens of luminaries like Joël Robuchon and Thomas Keller.
In 2016, when Mucharraz returned to the Mexican coast to helm Chileno Bay’s Comal restaurant, he experienced a personal and professional awakening. “In fine dining, it was always like ‘go, go go!’ and I didn’t want to change my lifestyle,” he recalls of the pivotal moment. “But if I have just 15 or 30 minutes of peace and calm by the ocean, there’s a natural rhythm that’s reset.”
Mucharraz deepened that reset through scuba diving, a sport that doubles as meditation for the chef. “The more you are mindful of your breath, the better a scuba diver you become,” he says. “You have to be in the present and be respectful of the environment—because you are the stranger stepping into the house of someone you don’t know.”
That dovetailed with Mucharraz’s culinary ethos, inspiring an oceanic evolution of the farm-to-table concepts he had mastered while working under Keller at Napa Valley’s The French Laundry.
The philosophy is especially poignant when it comes to one very special species, the endemic totoaba. Once abundant in these waters, the long, silver drum fish has been on the endangered species list since 1979 due to rampant overfishing. For Mucharraz, it’s a tragedy of multitudes: Considered a local delicacy, the totoaba’s scarcity could lead to the end of a beloved culinary tradition that has endured for generations.
But through concentrated efforts, the totoaba population is growing again. Mucharraz sources totoaba in nearby La Paz from Earth Ocean Farms, a leading regenerative aquaculture company that is one of several organizations working with Mexico’s Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources and National Commission of Aquaculture and Fishing to repopulate the species. By sustainably farming totoaba in a controlled environment, then releasing the largest fish back into the wild, Earth Ocean Farms has effectively reintroduced the species back into its natural habitat.

fish, meanwhile, are consumed—with the proceeds going back into the farm’s efforts. “By serving this special fish, we are actually helping to bring it back,” Mucharraz says.
Back at Comal, Mucharraz’s respect for the totoaba is evident in the careful, almost sacred, methods he uses to prepare it. Chiefly, that means using as much of each fish as possible. Totoaba ceviche and roasted filets over parsnip purée and roasted cauliflower are just the beginning: Trimmings are utilized to craft totoaba mousseline, and even the bones, simmered into a broth then strained, ultimately make their way into other dishes, adding a mild, buttery flavor.
Each dish is a triumph for the chef and the fish itself—evidence of a new chapter for a once-again-growing totoaba population, and the resurgence of a beloved gastronomic tradition in Los Cabos. “With every serving, we support the education of this initiative and, hopefully, shift how people see the ocean,” Mucharraz says. “We tell the ocean’s story. It’s a win-win.”

SHAKING UP M A GIC
The most striking thing about London’s bar scene right now is its sheer variety. In just a few square miles, you can drink everywhere from an edgy Bauhaus boîte to a cinematic martini joint, a shrine to Japanese bartending, or a modern British restaurant where the bar snacks have three Michelin stars. Inspired by chefs and perfumers, art and design, mixologists are taking the act of imbibing to creative new heights with innovative cocktails that are as beautiful—and palate-pleasing—as they are thought-provoking.

WALTZ
At this serene, Japanese-style bar in Shoreditch, every cocktail is a mesmerizing— and intimate—experience. Owner and head bartender Gento Torigata cut his teeth in the iconic bars of Tokyo’s Ginza district, and here, he demonstrates his expertise through service that is beautifully choreographed, quietly attentive, and perfectly paired with Torigata’s curated jazz playlists. (The bar is named after “Waltz for Debby,” by American jazz legend Bill Evans).
Drinks on the seasonal menu may include an umami-rich Gibson laced with sake and served with a side of tiny pickles; a matchaand-honey old-fashioned served on an immaculate ice gem; and a creamy Alexander fortified with Nikka gin and black sesame. Each cocktail is crafted at the dreamy elmwood bar, which is crowned by a surreal starry night mural, and served in paper-thin handmade Kimura glassware from Hokkaido.
In true Japanese style, the bar doesn’t take reservations, but a private table that seats up to eight can be booked in advance. No matter where you sip, the atmosphere is convivial and intimate—and as close as you’ll get to the Japanese cocktail experience outside of Tokyo. waltzbar.uk

A BAR WITH SHAPES FOR A NAME
Yes, this minimalist East London bar really does have shapes for a name—a yellow triangle, red square, and blue circle to be precise. Such imagination is par for the course for creator and man-behind-the-bar Remy Savage, whose other inventive, design-driven spots include Bar Nouveau in Paris, Abstract in Lyon, and, soon, a cocktail bar in New York.
At the Bauhaus-inspired A Bar with Shapes for a Name, mixologist Maria Kontorravdis—dressed in a signature vibrant jumpsuit—clarifies vodka in a centrifuge.
At this obscurely named newcomer, everything from the bespoke ice blocks to the jewel-toned jumpsuits staff wear is an homage to the Bauhaus movement. Comfortable and plush it is not (true to the architectural style, furniture is appropriately spare). But the color-blocked interiors and matching drinks delight nonetheless.
One of Savage’s signatures is the crystalclear Kazimir, a cocktail of vodka smoothed with silky apricot yogurt and spiked with absinthe, served over a pristine ice block with an iridescent cube trapped inside. A photogenic flight of three mini-martinis on a bespoke Bauhaus tray is a journey of sensory perception, encouraging guests to compare and contrast each drink with all their senses. There’s also Xscold, a twist on the spicy margarita that explores the cooling effects of menthol and eucalyptus. Adding to the atmosphere is the stylish crowd: Open until 4 a.m., the bar is a favorite last stop of the night among London’s fashion and club set. clubbauhaus.com
THE DOVER
The Dover’s sober Mayfair frontage is so discreet, you could easily walk right past it. But stepping through its heavy black curtain feels like slipping into an era when everyone and everything was unapologetically glamorous. Bathed in a warm amber glow, the New York Italian–style bar is the vision of founder Martin Kuczmarski, who took actress Sophia Loren as his muse. “I love her style,” he says. “I love her eating pasta: elegant, confident, and cheeky.”
As former COO of Soho House, Kuczmarski knows how to create a scene, and in the case of this sultry spot, the most important ingredient is a perfect martini. The Dover’s cocktail menu features nine of them, from a classic vesper to a citron version laced with bergamot liqueur. The
classics, including an old-fashioned and a negroni, are also accounted for, and snacks are suitably decadent: mountains of crispy zucchini fritti with lemon and jalapeño aioli; crispy potato cakes with lemon crème fraîche and osteria caviar.
It’s all very sophisticated and seductive, with couples leaning in close across tiny low-lit tables and in-the-know regulars perched atop velvet stools at the bar (the best seats in the house). No matter where you sit, you’re guaranteed the kind of graciously assiduous attention that comes from a bygone era: As soon as the blush of frost fades from your glass, the white-jacketed tenders decant your drink into another, ensuring the perfect temperature until the very last drop. Even Ms. Loren would be impressed. thedoverrestaurant.com

Securing a table at chef Clare Smyth’s three-Michelin-starred West London restaurant Core is notoriously tough, but this adjoining bar wrapped in moody velvet and dark wood panels offers walk-ins a soupçon of her acclaimed cooking—and pairs it with the unique concoctions of master mixologist Vincenzo Ciaccio.
Ciaccio, who hails from Sicily, specializes in fresh and savory cocktails that make excellent complements to Smyth’s dishes. His signatures include the Garden Party—a verdant highball of tequila, pea cordial, chartreuse elixir, and soda—and a Bloody Mary made with vodka, tomato consommé, Fino sherry, and smoked water. Both pair
beautifully with the bite-sized Caesar salad and Isle of Harris scallop tartare.
The bar’s glass-fronted whiskey cabinet, meanwhile, is an exploration of UK distilleries, reportedly containing at least one bottle from nearly every topshelf maker in the kingdom, from Islay icons to up-and-comers like the Scottish Highlands’ Nc’nean. The build-your-own Irish coffee is another specialty, with a choice of whiskies, sweet or spicy toppings like dark chocolate and nutmeg, and aromatic essences such as marjoram or black cardamom.

Mayfair’s Next Great Table
With the highly anticipated opening of Cambridge House, Auberge Collection, comes a glamorous ode to midcentury dining from Major Food Group.
London has no shortage of storied dining rooms, but few can match the pedigree of Cambridge House, Auberge Collection: Once the headquarters of the In & Out Naval and Military Club, the Palladian mansion has been the epicenter of London society since 1756. In its latest incarnation, the estate’s Georgian-era ballroom has been reborn as Major’s Grill, a brasserie-style chophouse where history and glamorous gastronomy meet.
Created in partnership with Major Food Group—the New York City–based impresarios behind more than 50 restaurants and clubs worldwide, including hot spots like Carbone, The Grill, ZZ’s Club, and Torrisi— Major’s Grill will showcase all the hospitality brand’s hallmarks: theatrical dining, sophisticated cuisine, and
polished service included. A martini menu will offer more than 10 note-perfect options; a curated wine list will carry rare cult vintages, including First Growth Bordeaux; and the grill will turn out prime cuts of meat and seafood. It all arrives at white-linen-covered tables via service captains in crisp dinner jackets—a nostalgic spectacle befitting of its storied setting.
This will not be mere dinner, but arguably Mayfair’s next great performance, proving once again, Major Food Group’s “unmatched ability to honor the past while bringing it into the future,” says cofounder Jeff Zalaznick—and it promises to reclaim 94 Piccadilly as the address where London society gathers until the last martini is quaffed.

Ever PRESENT
With her series of intentional programs and retreats for Auberge Collection’s new approach to Wellbeing, spiritual leader Gabby Bernstein shares her secret recipe for a joyful life.
BY ESME BENJAMIN
For some, the most energizing part of midday is a frothy latte. Gabrielle Bernstein’s restorative ritual is far more impactful—and unusual. “This sounds strange,” she says, “but it’s like a cat meditation.” Bernstein reclines on her couch, with her cat, Jimi Blue, curled up on her chest, their breaths falling in sync as she silently repeats a mantra. “It’s quite powerful, because there’s such resonance in the vibration of the cat,” she explains. This cozy pause is a reminder that even small, simple things have an outsized effect on our wellbeing—an ethos she’s now exploring with a new Auberge Collection partnership.
The author of nine bestselling books, Bernstein—or just Gabby, as she’s known to her legions of fans—is beloved for her accessible approach to spirituality and self-help. Naturally warm, empathetic, and unflinchingly honest, she has never shied away from sharing personal struggles. Stories about her experiences with addiction and infertility, and how she triumphed by applying practices like manifestation, meditation, and Internal Family Systems therapy, form the backbone of her teachings.
For Bernstein, wellbeing starts with the mind and spirit—a perspective she arrived at through personal experience. “The biggest change over the years is realizing that my body had to follow the spiritual and the internal,” she says.
That inward-first approach is the connective tissue of Bernstein’s work, including her new
partnership with Auberge Collection. The collaboration sprang from a serendipitous encounter with an Auberge executive on a flight—an anecdote that could have been lifted directly from one of her books about manifestation. As she tells it, the pair “took the sign from the universe,” and, less than a year later, Bernstein has created a suite of custom joy experiences for guests. Part of Auberge Collection’s groundbreaking new approach to wellness, Joy of Wellbeing, the suite of offerings will be available across all properties to help travelers discover greater energy, realize boundless performance, and live a vibrant and joyful life.
Before they even check in, guests can embark on a “Joy of Wellbeing” journey via custom Gabby Coaching & Meditation app programs designed exclusively for Auberge. Inspired by Bernstein’s own daily practices, it includes guided meditations, connection rituals, and exercises for prioritizing more “unapologetic joy,” as she calls it.
These touchpoints continue throughout the stay, infusing daily routines with moments of reflection and relaxation: At all Auberge properties, Bernstein’s pre-treatment ritual—a guided breathing mantra paired with comforting heart/hand placement—is designed for guests to set an intention in order to derive gratitude from their ensuing therapies. A “Joy of Wellbeing Journal” facilitates daily contemplation and gratitude practice. And a turndown ritual that instructs guests to pull a card

“Getting away is sometimes the first step. It’s a commitment to yourself.”
—GABBY BERNSTEIN
from a deck of inspiring spiritual quotes provides guidance each day of their trip. Together, these practices guide guests to give themselves permission to disconnect and be present with themselves and their loved ones—ultimately, to find joy in all the moments of their trip, both big and small.
For those seeking a truly transformative experience, The Joy of Wellbeing Retreat is an opportunity to learn directly from Bernstein herself. Set for April 30–May 3, 2026, at The Lodge at Blue Sky in Utah, it will incorporate spiritual teachings, guided meditations, emotional healing practices, and “wild, embodied movement.” Bernstein hopes the experience will be “like a rinse cycle” for the spirit—clearing away emotional and mental sediment so guests depart feeling lighter, freer, and more joyful.
Bernstein believes that allowing ourselves this breathing room from daily responsibilities to contemplate and reorient is conducive to positive change, especially in a tranquil mountain setting like Blue Sky. “Getting away is sometimes the first step,” she says. “It’s a commitment to yourself, to the universe, saying ‘I’m ready to go inward. I want to take care of myself.’”
Keying into Bernstein’s steadfast belief that wellbeing should be accessible and enjoyable for all—whether on a back-to-nature retreat in the mountains or a beach getaway in Mexico—these practices are designed to help
guests thrive and grow from every moment in their vacation: dinner with loved ones, a quiet morning with a cup of coffee, even a kombucha-making class. Wellbeing is a bigger picture than just wellness or the spa; it’s about integrating joy into every moment.
Of course, taking what you’ve learned within the supportive boundaries of a holiday and applying it to regular life can be challenging, but empowering others is what Bernstein does best. To help guests integrate her teachings once they’re home and in the thick of to-do lists, they can access her coaching and meditation app after departure.
With enough dedication to the particular practices that work best for them—be it morning affirmations, evening journaling, or a midday meditation—anyone can prioritize their wellbeing and change their life for the better, Bernstein says. She sees Auberge’s Joy of Wellbeing approach as a significant first step.
“The times in my life where I said, ‘I’m going to take that trip, I’m going to go do that retreat, or I’m going to make that commitment,’ have always been moments of upleveling,” she says. “So, if you’re hearing the call and you’re ready to take that action, you’re committing internally to go bigger. You’re actually saying, ‘I’m ready to take my own personal development a step further.’” However the call arrives, the message is clear: Joy isn’t merely found; it’s made.
In collaboration with Bernstein, the Joy of Wellbeing by Auberge introduces new immersive touchpoints and joyinspired programming to help guests discover greater energy, realize boundless performance, and live a vibrant and intentional life.
Th e Joy of We llbeing
At Auberge Collection, health isn’t about relentless self-optimization or trend-chasing; it’s about being present, savoring simple pleasures, and finding joy in the small things. Alongside Gabby Bernstein’s joy-infused activations, each property offers its own immersive experiences and treatments anchored in four pillars, each designed to offer guests new ways to feel more joyful and alive each day.
AWE
APPRECIATING THE SIMPLE MOMENTS
To amplify guests’ sense of wonder, Auberge’s immersive experiences harness the power of nature. For instance, at Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Collection—named #1 Resort in Central America by Travel + Leisure’s 2025 World’s Best Awards—an invigorating scrub treatment is followed by a warm, herbal River Bath in the Costa Rican jungle, where birdsong and rushing water soothe the mind. Guests can also pause for an In the Wild listening ritual to appreciate the soundscape of ocean waves, and pen a “joy mail” postcard to their future self, reflecting on how it feels to be part of something greater.
CONNECT
WITH OTHERS, NATURE, AND OURSELVES
Connection is at the core of joyful living, and Auberge getaways are full of opportunities to strengthen existing bonds and forge new ones. The Lodge at Blue Sky, Auberge Collection offers Gracie’s Farm Dinner Series, a communal experience where guests gather under the clear Utah skies, surrounded by colorful blooms and laughter, to learn stories of the land and its bounty from farmers, chefs, and kindred spirits. More connections are forged with Masters in Residence, experts
in modalities from food fermentation and energy healing to equine therapy and expressive writing workshops. Across all the Auberge properties, hands-on workshops are taught by local craftspeople to experience the culture of the destination on a deeper level.

GROWTH THROUGH BOUNDLESS PERFORMANCE
Intentional movement is one of the most effective ways to boost feel-good hormones and cultivate instant joy. For some, that might mean participating in an outdoor sprinting clinic or upping the intensity with master instructors. For others, it might simply involve a functional Pilates class or a guided hike along a secluded mountain trail.

Find paradise—and stay for good—at Auberge Collection Residences from Miami Beach to Mexico.
Summer
A Resort Villa at Puerto Rico’s Moncayo, Auberge Collection, with views of the Caribbean Sea.
For all the many virtues of a beach getaway, there’s one limitation inherent to even the most perfect of tropical escapes.
Eventually, it comes to an end, and we must leave it all behind for home. That is, unless paradise was to become home. That’s the idea behind Auberge Collection Residences in sought-after destinations where bestin-class amenities, world-class design, and around-the-clock concierge service promise a perfect—and permanent—place in the sun.
In Miami, that sunny place comes with an illustrious history: In 2027, South Beach’s legendary Cromwell—an Art Deco masterpiece constructed in 1939—will be reborn as The Shore Club Resort and Residences, Auberge Collection. The transformation will create an architectural dialogue between past and present, with Bryan O’Sullivan helming the meticulous restoration of the historic building, and Robert A. M. Stern Architects erecting a brand-new, 18-story tower with 49 residences.
Although the two buildings will be separated by nearly a century, they have been carefully designed to seamlessly connect, says Kemper Hyers, Auberge Collection’s chief creative officer. “The new tower has beautiful echoes of the Art Deco style, but with a

sophistication and edit that feels 100 percent relevant to today. It’s bringing the glamour of the original Cromwell into present day.”
Residences will include floor-to-ceiling windows, large terraces, and custom kitchens; many will also have their own direct-entry elevators. Yacht-inspired interiors bring in details like mahogany and oak wood finishes, brass accents, and other natural materials that echo the sand and sea. The Shore Club’s most desired piece of real estate, meanwhile, is its 8,000-square-foot, standalone beach house, a single-family, full-service villa with a private entrance and pool. The residential tower will feature its own wellness areas, lounges, and a residents-only pool, and owners can also access the amenities at Shore Club, Auberge Collection, including a wellbeing retreat and signature restaurants.
Just a few miles north on South Florida’s Gold Coast, an exclusive new destination rises in Shell Bay, Auberge Collection, a 150-acre beachfront enclave with a private yacht club, a Greg Norman–designed championship golf course, and a sleek, 20-story residential tower.
Scheduled to open in 2027, 108 fully furnished residences have been mastercrafted by AvroKO with spacious open floorplans and wraparound terraces that frame cinematic views across verdant fairways and coastal waterways. Inside, gourmet kitchens come with marble counters, Gaggenau appliances, and stocked minibars.
“It’s like you’ve entered an oasis,” says Chelsea Buckland, Auberge Collection’s vice president of residential and development. Exclusive services enhance that sense of seclusion, with private or semi-private elevator entries, valet closets, butler assistance, and concierge offerings. Amenities include a private porte cochère and lobby, a 20,000-squarefoot clubhouse, and a rooftop pool, as well as access to the 15-acre Shell Bay community’s 18,000-square-foot wellbeing retreat, wine-tasting room, co-working suites, sports simulator, bowling alley, and Florida’s only Grand Slam racquet club.
Still farther north lies Fort Lauderdale’s most coveted address: Auberge Beach Residences. Located just 450 feet from the ocean, the waterfront property has an exceedingly rare, and highly coveted, location, says Chelsea Buckland. “It’s right on the sand, whereas most residential buildings here are across the street from the beach.”

and exposure to sunlight, Auberge Beach Residences bring an innovative and evocative style to the expanding Fort Lauderdale skyline. Inside, New York–based design firm Meyer Davis carries that beach-modern brief into tranquil public and private spaces with an understated palette, organic textures, and sightlines that extend to the water.
Each residence features nearly 10-foot floor-to-ceiling glass and expansive terraces. At the lobby and lounge level, the mood balances polish and ease: Contemporary millwork, sculptural lighting, and natural stone set a calm, upscale tone. Throughout the 4.5-acre grounds, homeowners enjoy exclusive use of multiple oceanfront pools, private beach club service with cabanas and dining, a 6,000-square-foot spa, a Napa Valley Wine Room, and a cigar lounge.
In Puerto Rico, perched between the emerald slopes of El Yunque and Puerto del Rey, Moncayo is, in Buckland’s words, “an adventurer’s paradise,” spanning 1,100 acres of pristine coastline. Slated to open in 2027, the community champions a design philosophy that gently weaves built form into nature, especially when it comes to the residential offerings. Interiors firm Studio Paolo Ferrari designed for fluid indooroutdoor living: Spaces open onto gardens, plunge pools, and expansive patios, while wraparound balconies frame uninterrupted Caribbean vistas. Open floorplans, chef’s kitchens, and spa-like bathrooms create
an extension of the serene surroundings. Residences include three- and four-bedroom standalone Resort Villas with private decks, pools, and sweeping ocean views; Auberge Private Residences designed for full-time living with up to five bedrooms; and Estate Homes for semi-custom plans crafted in collaboration with Moncayo’s international team of architects. Ownership also comes with privileged access to the Moncayo Ocean Club—anchored by the Caribbean’s first Mackenzie & Ebert–designed championship golf course—as well as a private beach, an Auberge Spa rooted in Taíno healing traditions, a 100-acre regenerative farm, and a 400-acre nature reserve.
In Mexico’s exclusive Punta de Mita community, roughly an hour’s drive from Puerto Vallarta, Susurros del Corazón, Auberge Collection is secreted away from the holiday crowds—especially when it comes to the property’s 54 residential villas. Wedged between jungled cliffs and a white-sand beach, the homes blend contemporary design with authentic style via natural materials like locally sourced stone, Mexican-inspired fixtures and finishes, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame Bay of Banderas views. “We’re offering a turnkey experience with all furnishings included so homeowners can show up and tell us where to place their surfboard,” Buckland says.
Balancing scale with sensitivity to their coastal setting, estate plans at Susurros

del Corazón range from intimate cliffside retreats to expansive oceanfront estates, some extending across multiple levels with broad terraces, shaded courtyards, and private plunge pools. The result is a series of dwellings that feel at once rooted in Mexico’s design traditions and attuned to contemporary living.
For homeowners, the appeal lies equally in what extends beyond their front door. Residents share in the life of the adjoining Auberge Collection resort—named the #2 Resort in Mexico by Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards 2025 List—with access to three tiered infinity pools, a beach club set on a sheltered cove, and ONDA, Wellbeing by Auberge. Restaurants, movement studios, and curated cultural programming further weave the residences into a community that is both private and connected.
Though each Auberge Collection Residence offers something unique, one detail remains the same everywhere: exceptional service. “We get to know each of our homeowners before they even move in,” Buckland says. “We know their preferences; we know their dog’s name; we know when their birthday is.” And every experience is a new opportunity for customization— whether it’s a box of fresh, local produce delivered straight to your door or a private shopping experience at a residents-only designer trunk show. “It’s about feeling like everything is taken care of for you—not just on vacation, but every single day.”

Eleventy’s guide to mastering the art of smart-casual dressing.

On her: Winter whites in a cashmere herringbone blazer; cashmere and silk palazzo pants; silk blouse; cashmere necktie; and suede loafers.
On him: cashmere and wool trench coat; wool, silk, and cashmere suit; cashmere necktie; and loafers.
Opposite, from left: A mohair shearling jacket, cashmere and mohair sweater, silk blouse, and leather trousers; lambskin suede jacket with knit sleeves, wool cable-knit sweater, wool trousers, and cashmere hat.
The foundation of a truly smart wardrobe begins with luxurious everyday separates— pieces designed to be lived in. The real artistry, however, lies in how they’re styled.
With the right touch, sporty trousers can move seamlessly from relaxed weekend outings to polished city lunches. Mastering that kind of versatility requires a sharp sartorial eye, says Geoff Schneiderman, North American CEO of Eleventy—the Italian fashion house that embodies sprezzatura, the art of effortless sophistication.
Eleventy’s design philosophy is rooted in refined layering, where sumptuous cashmere and fine wool transform wardrobe basics into elevated essentials. For men, the cornerstone is a welltailored blazer. A gray version pairs perfectly
with winter-white trousers; add a soft cardigan and suede boots for a relaxed yet refined look.
For women, it’s all about the unlined cashmere topcoat— an elegant layer that brings polish to everything from tailored suits to elevated athleisure. The effect is one of understated luxury that transitions fluidly across settings.
This thoughtful, curated approach extends into Eleventy’s boutique locations in New York City, Milan, and Greenwich, Connecticut—where the shopping experience transcends mere transactions. Here, clients are invited to enjoy personalized styling sessions, complete with a cocktail in hand—a welcome pause from the hustle of modern retail.
In a world where professional and personal styles often intertwine, Eleventy is helping clients master the subtle art of elevated ease.
