W Hotels recently announced a new W Escape property in Bali. W Bali – Ubud joins W Bali – Seminyak, opened in 2010.

The property plans to include Balinese art and locally inspired decor throughout the 100 guestrooms, which include 10 villas with private swimming pools. A pool deck mimics rice paddies with terraced pools and an additional designated quiet pool. Nearby, a bar provides hilltop views. The signature AWAY Spa offers a social deck and full menu of treatments.

On-site dining includes all-day option Morinda for Asian flavors; specialty Balinese restaurant Synn, located partially underground; a pressed juice lab by day and high-energy bar at night in the gym; and a cocktail bar with 360-degree island views.

W Bali – Ubud is an hour from Denpasar International Airport, with easy access to local attractions like Bali Swing Adventure Park and the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary.

“Ubud is a hidden destination like no other, where legends and nature intertwine with everyday life to create a magical sense of adventure,” said Anthony Ingham, global brand leader, W Hotels Worldwide. “W Bali – Ubud is an exciting next step for us. We are applying a unique, vibrant sensibility to this hotel, one that has not been seen before on the island. W Bali – Ubud will combine the brand’s boundary-breaking approach to design with the rich cultural, spiritual and artistic influences of Ubud to show off the best of this incredible locale and all we’ve learned in the decade since W debuted in Indonesia.”

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.
