Philadelphia’s The Rittenhouse hotel recently announced a partnership with Bario Neal, a Philadelphia-based and women-owned sustainable jewelry brand.

“Philadelphia’s rich culture and an appreciation for our community of creatives were the driving force behind this collaboration,” said Gregg Skowronski, managing director, The Rittenhouse. “From The Rittenhouse’s 35-year legacy of creating heirloom moments to Bario Neal’s dedication to crafting timeless, ethical jewelry, this partnership beautifully represents our shared commitment to creating experiences and pieces that transcend time, becoming part of a personal and collective legacy.”

The hotel and jewelry brand collaborated on a one-of-a-kind locket crafted from 14-carat recycled gold and ethically sourced diamonds. The piece is now available for purchase and on display in The Rittenhouse lobby. Customizable options allow each piece to be tailored to the wearer.

With the Rittenhouse Heirloom Experience, guests enjoy suite accommodations, a customized Rittenhouse Heirloom Locket, round-trip luxury transport to Bario Neal for the design appointment, a chef’s table experience at the hotel’s Lacroix, a Natura Bisse Diamond Collection treatment at the spa, and a celebratory bottle of Champagne and 24k gold-leafed macarons.

“In a way, honoring the beauty and history of Philadelphia is what inspired our journey as a local jewelry maker over a decade ago. It’s this shared passion with The Rittenhouse for celebrating local craftsmanship and preserving our community’s vibrant arts scene that fuels our excitement for the future. We’re thrilled to create completely custom, handcrafted heirlooms for both residents and visitors of Philadelphia, carrying on their personal legacies as well as that of our city in a truly meaningful way,” said Page Neal, co-founder, Bario Neal.

The Rittenhouse and Bario Neal also launched a first-of-its-kind Heirloom Concierge experience that allows intimate access to Bario Neal’s design experts to assist hotel guests with the reimagination of an existing piece or new custom design.

Grand Hotel Des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz Review

Switzerland’s most storied ski town (the one, in fact, credited with pioneering the very concept of Alpine tourism), St. Moritz legendarily attracts the rich, the famous, celebutantes and the wannabes. Yet, there’s something compellingly earthy about the place, a town on a lake rich with natural environs, where winter sports and summer activities draw athletes and mountain lovers aplenty. As at the mountain restaurants (where some arrive by chairlift rather than muscle movement, and all types of diners and imbibers convene), Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz straddles the old and new, the lavish and the understated. The hotel, one of St. Moritz’s oldest, opened as a spa haven in 1864, set atop a healing mineral spring.

Pause for a Harmonious Blend of Wellness and Nature in Hong Kong

I was illiterate when I first visited Hong Kong. Aged 17, I couldn’t understand a word of the Chinese neon signs. But 40 years later, I have changed, Hong Kong has changed, and my ability to understand the signs has changed. Now I point my phone at the unintelligible script, open a translation app, and everything magically morphs into English. The exotic becomes mundane: Shoe Store. Office Supplies. Laundry. Dentist. Insurance Broker.
