The Webster, a new, design-forward lifestyle hotel brand, just made its debut with The Webster Covent Garden in London, United Kingdom. The 167-room hotel overlooks Lincoln’s Inn Fields square, bringing thoughtful design, literary inspiration, distinctive food and drink, and extensive programming to one of the city’s most beloved neighborhoods.

Accommodations span guestrooms and suites across 10 floors. Each space features carefully selected amenities, like Robert Radios and hand-chosen books, Mid-Century bespoke furniture, Malin + Goetz bath products, Dyson hair dryers on request, and The Webster’s Complimentary Water Program. On each floor, guests will also find a curated collection of books to enjoy throughout their stay and exchange to discover something new.

The hotel’s literary connections extend to Webster Book Club, a signature program gathering readers and travelers to foster conversation through weekend brunches, guided runs, live music, cocktail pairings, coffee tastings and more. For the ultimate literary link, the hotel actually sits near where Charles Dickens studied law and drew inspiration for some of literature’s most enduring characters.

A trio of food and beverage venues celebrates the culture and liveliness of Italy. Signature restaurant Carmelina’s occupies the lower ground floor, offering Italian-inspired dishes across an open kitchen, counter dining and dedicated wine bar. Upstairs, guests can enjoy Carmelina’s Al Banco, an all-day café-bar concept inspired by the neighborhoods of Milan. The space transforms from morning coffee and breakfast to lunch before transitioning to aperitivo and evening drinks.

And for late-night tipples, Carla’s promises guests a journey to the hidden Italo-disco bars of Italy, combining craft cocktails and curated drinks with entertainment.

The Webster Covent Garden also offers meeting and event spaces, as well as a 24/7 fitness suite.

Looking ahead, The Webster eyes New York with plans to debut The Webster Times Square in 2027.

The Flight Less Taken: Unsung Carriers Whisk You Away to Far-Flung Destinations

The miracle of flight feels slightly less miraculous these days. Endless delays, cramped seating and shortchanged amenities feel par for the course, and one can easily forget the wondrous fact that you’re hurtling above planet Earth, soaring above the clouds and across the skies to your destination of choice. In the olden days, you were limited to the fallibility of your outrigger canoe or horse-drawn carriage. It’s not hyperbolic to invoke the invention of the wheel when reminding oneself to stay calm and carry on in coach.

Review: Bodysgallen Hall

The National Trust owns more than 500 historic buildings across the United Kingdom, each offering a vivid sense of its particular era. In common with many visitors, I often find myself wondering what it would be like to actually live in such a place. Imagine sitting, for instance, in one of those ancient oak-paneled drawing rooms at night, with the fire roaring and the wind rattling the ancient mullioned windows. I didn’t have to imagine it. Here I was, immersed in history in 17th-century Bodysgallen Hall in North Wales.

How Safe Are Theme Park Rollercoasters? Should We Be More Wary?

No matter your age, we’ve all ventured to an amusement park at one point or another. Whether taking a trip solely to visit a theme park and ride rollercoasters or tacking on an extra day of a trip to enjoy some thrills at a nearby park, it’s nearly impossible to not enter an amusement park. But even the most adrenaline-seeking travelers are starting to pause after the Oct. 12 incident in which 42-year-old Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem fell to his death while riding Goliath rollercoaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, a theme park outside of Atlanta.
