In spring 2024, Chef Carlo Cracco will conceive and develop the food and beverage offerings for Corinthia Rome. Chef Cracco will bring his unique culinary approach to Rome for the first time in a stunning location on Piazza del Parlamento, a 10-minute walk from Piazza Navona.

Corinthia Rome will occupy a seven-floor building originally built in 1914 to house Bank of Italy. A revered historic structure, the palazzo maintains its original façade overlooking the Parliament of Italy, while inside, it is being entirely redesigned to offer exceptional hospitality, design, food and beverage, and guest services.

“We are very happy to welcome Carlo Cracco to our Rome hotel,” said Simon Naudi, CEO, Corinthia Hotels. “He brings craftsmanship and a culinary expertise that is entirely aligned to our vision of authenticity and provenance for our first hotel in Italy.”

The 60-room Corinthia Rome will offer a bar; lobby lounge; luxury spa and gym; and an open-air garden courtyard, enabling guests to enjoy Rome’s mild climate for most of the year.

Escape to Tahiti for a Captivating Island-Hopping Cruise

The 118 islands of French Polynesia reveal themselves layer by fascinating layer, with the spirit of mana (vital force) linking them all the way from Tahiti to the remote reaches of the Marquesas. This is part of the world best savored on a journey that dives as deep into culture as natural beauty, both above and below the water’s surface. A cruise makes it easy to cover a lot of ground while unpacking just once (and sneaking in some work done in comfort, too, during at-sea days). And cruising offers particular appeal within this semi-autonomous French territory sprawling across nearly 2 million square miles of ocean and covering five archipelagos.

The Shelbourne Review

Facing the vast St. Stephen’s Green in the heart of Dublin sits the iconic and historic The Shelbourne. Few hotels master the perfect blend of history and luxury, but The Shelbourne gets it right. The site of the signing of the Irish Constitution in 1922 granting the Republic of Ireland its freedom from England, The Shelbourne has hosted its fair share of notable figures, from Michael Collins to Princess Grace Kelly to John Ford, the latter of which was the name of my suite.
