As we all know, the NBA ended its 2019–2020 season in Orlando, Florida, playing in what they called “the bubble.” Taking as many precautions as possible, this 2020–2021 season kicked off with each of the 30 teams back on its home court, excluding the Toronto Raptors, who will play out its season in Tampa, Florida, as travel restrictions suggest they remain in the United States.
In most states, fans are not permitted to attend in-person games, including my favorite team, the Philadelphia 76ers. However, I have the great opportunity to attend these games as a member of the entertainment team. It has been a pleasure, thus far, to witness the efforts of the NBA to protect players, staff and employees, all the way down to security and tech, from COVID. From safety zones to PPE distribution to the continuous efforts to maintain “the show” and the enjoyment and excitement of it all, the NBA exceeded expectations.
With hopes to be industry leaders, the Philadelphia 76ers pave the way in this new normal to continue to entertain and include fans across the country — and I am grateful to be part of it. Go Sixers!

Jul 18, 2025Hôtel de Sers Reopens in Paris
One of Paris’ most elegant addresses has reopened following a full renovation. Hôtel de Sers, part of the B Signature Hotels & Resorts portfolio, was once the private mansion of Henri-Léopold Charles, Marquis de Sers. Located within the illustrious Triangle d’Or, close to the Champs-Élysées and Avenue Montaigne, the property’s refined décor and original Haussmannian architectural elements have been carefully preserved. These include a spectacular marble staircase and the structure’s original carriage entrance, along with period features such as wrought-iron details and magnificent moldings and ceilings of the original salon de réception.

Jul 16, 2025Hotel Saint Augustine Review
Blending with its Montrose neighborhood like the indigenous and cultivated plants hugging the property’s walkways, the newly built Hotel Saint Augustine opened mid-January 2025. The first Bunkhouse hotel in Houston, Texas, is easily mistaken for garden apartments. Seventy-one guest rooms and suites encompass a tree-lined block. The hotel’s buildings are only two stories tall and also house a lobby, lounge, restaurant and event space. Tucked into a corner of the grounds sits a circular outdoor pool.
