Althoff Villa Belrose resort just opened its doors for the 2025 summer season in Saint-Tropez, unveiling new renovations and culinary offerings.

Under the leadership of designer Markus Hilzinger, Villa Belrose updated its public areas, pool terrace, dining spaces and guestrooms. With its reopening, Villa Belrose unveiled a stunning new signature suite, 18 refurbished double rooms and a new state-of-the-art fitness center. Furthermore, its gourmet restaurant, led by Chef Jimmy Coutel, will relaunch as Michelin Guide Le Belrose, with a revised culinary concept centered around exceptional Mediterranean cuisine.
From the resort’s exclusive new signature suite, guests can now enjoy panoramic views over the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, Sainte Maxime, Massif de l’Esterel and all the way to the Alps. The suite merges two existing rooms, spanning about 650 square feet with separate living and sleeping areas, a private balcony, and the option to expand to 860 square feet with the addition of an adjacent room. In keeping with the resort’s commitment to sustainability, high-quality natural oak flooring has been installed in all rooms and suites. The color palette draws inspiration from the surrounding Côte d’Azur landscape, with shades of terracotta red, azure blue and lush green of Mediterranean flora reflected in the wallpapers, textiles and accessories.

The newly redesigned restaurant Le Belrose, under the leadership of Chef Jimmy Coutel, offers guests a relaxed dining experience accompanied by incredible views over the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The menu features an à la carte selection of Mediterranean classics, as well as a four-course tasting menu and five-course surprise tasting menu. All ingredients are sourced from local producers, and the wine list is one of the most extensive in the region. One standout dish on the menu is Le Jardin de Sydney, a medley of seasonal vegetables sourced from a local garden.

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.

Jul 16, 2025Global City Guidebook: Phoenix
Arizona’s capital and most populous city basks beneath the sun year-round, boasting Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses, major sports teams, luxury spas and lively nightclubs. The city lies within the Salt River Valley along the northern reaches of the Sonoran Desert, making for dramatic mountain views and vast desert landscapes beyond. The city itself comprises 15 urban villages, many tracing roots to historical communities. Despite brutally hot summers, various experiences and sites in and around the city combat the heat, such as tubing and kayaking on the Salt River, swimming in any of the city’s six lakes, taking a moonlight hike, or floating in one of a number of the city’s upscale hotel pools.
