Daily / Feature

InterContinental Hotels & Resorts has gone to new heights with the opening InterContinental Davos.

The new hotel is situated high above Lake Davos, offering extensive views of the entire Alpine region. Each of its 216 guestrooms and suites offers a private balcony. Other highlights include a 12,000-square-foot spa, a variety of sports outfitters and activities, avant-garde gastronomy and state-of-the-art conference facilities.

Boasting a futuristic façade of gold-colored steel elements, InterContinental Davos is stunning addition to the landscape at the mouth of the Flüela Pass. Most of the property’s guestrooms face southwest, looking down upon Davos from the hotel’s elevated location. Extensive terraces and private balconies provide breathtaking views of the Grisons Alps.

The spa’s design takes its cue from the Alpine landscape, incorporating natural rock, traces of gold and herbal applications.  Dining options include Brasserie Capricorn, Matsu (Asian-Alpine fusion) and the Nuts&Co. lounge. At  Studio Grigio, on the hotel’s top floor, guest indulge in culinary delights while savoring an Alpine panorama.

High-Spirited Hong Kong: The Dynamic Hub Embraces Its Maritime History and Culture

It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.

Why Japan Is Best Explored by Sea with Princess

Japan is a destination that rewards repeat visits because no two regions — or seasons —  feel quite the same. One moment, you’re wandering through centuries-old geisha districts in Kanazawa. The next, you’re watching neon reflections dance across Tokyo streets long after midnight.
