Planning a luxe getaway to Paris? Add Hôtel de Sers to your list. This May, the five-star hotel in the city’s famed Triangle d’Or district, just steps from the Champs-Élysées, unveils a full redesign led by French architect Pascal Allaman.

Once the private residence of Marquis Henri de Sers, the 1880 Haussmannian building has been transformed into a modern-day marquis’s dream home. The new look combines classic Parisian charm with sleek, contemporary touches.

Guests can expect panoramic city views, serene terraces with sculptural greenery, rich fabrics from Dedar and Pierre Frey, and curated art, including a bold portrait series by Véronique Tatu inspired by the Marquis and the women shaping the hotel’s next chapter.

Luxury in the heart of Paris

Part of the prestigious B. Signature Hotels & Resorts group since 2004, Hôtel de Sers now offers a refined experience in the heart of Paris. With 45 rooms and 7 suites, the hotel is spacious yet intimate. 

The design, led by renowned architect Pascal Allaman, is influenced by the opulent decorative arts of the 1930s and 40s. This is reflected in the oak paneling, surrealist-inspired Dedar Jacquard fabrics covering closets, custom Silvera furnishings, and the glamorous bathrooms featuring Italian brassware and Turkish marble. 

Guests can enjoy world-class dining at the hotel’s bar and restaurant, complete with a charming patio for al fresco dining. The hotel also boasts a luxurious 5-star spa, offering indulgent treatments like massages and facials to help you unwind. Additional services include personalized concierge assistance, a state-of-the-art sport and wellness room, and thoughtful family-friendly amenities such as cribs, treats, and connecting rooms, ensuring that every guest feels well-cared-for throughout their stay.

This thoughtfully designed pop-up at Ocean Casino Resort is worth the visit
Ocean Casino Resort

There’s no question that Ocean Casino Resort is the nicest Atlantic City hotel & casino resort — and most Atlantic City regulars would agree. While there are other hotels I love for different unique reasons, Ocean Casino Resort is an overall great choice for the majority of visitors. You just can’t beat the vibes of Ocean Casino Resort that remind me more of Vegas than any other hotel resort in the area. From the taller ceilings to the modern rooms, the entire stay experience here is designed to feel a bit more luxury than was once associated with Atlantic City. Plus, you can’t beat those incredible ocean views you get from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the guest rooms.

Though I’ve been to Ocean Casino Resort many times in the past, my most recent visit made me fall in love with this resort all over again. Every time I come back here I find something new to explore — whether it’s the Enomatic wine dispensers at Bottled Wine Bar or Ocean’s 18 mini golf, this hotel is the spot to be for guests who want a different experience every time they visit Atlantic City. Sure, there’s something to be said for going back to your favorite restaurant or playing at the same blackjack table you always win on. But, frequent visitors like myself want something new to look forward to during every visit. It’s clear Ocean Casino Resort understands this, especially after checking out their most recent innovation: America’s Birthday Bar.

New tequila finished in mole-seasoned barrels celebrates two UNESCO-recognized Mexican traditions
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

A new limited-edition tequila is bringing together two of Mexico’s most celebrated cultural traditions in a single bottle. Reserva de la Familia, the luxury tequila brand from Jose Cuervo, has unveiled Private Cask Collection Edition No. 2: Mole Cask, the first tequila finished in mole-seasoned barrels.

The release highlights the deep connection between Mexico’s culinary and distilling heritage. The tequila begins its journey in the agave fields surrounding Tequila, Jalisco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its historic agave landscape and tequila production. It is then finished in barrels seasoned with mole, one of Mexico’s most iconic dishes and part of the country’s UNESCO-recognized Intangible Cultural Heritage of traditional cuisine.
