Discreet service at Le Vendôme, Beirut

ByQ X

Le Vendome, Beirut

Who? Le Vendôme

What? Intimate is the approach to service at Le Vendôme. Fresh faced from some serious renovations, the hotel is at its prime. Of course you wouldn’t be able to find many people who have stayed there – they are far too discreet to share that sort of thing. But if the stylish suites are anything to go by, it’ll only be the elite.

When? Open year round

Where? Rafis Al Hariri St, Beirut, Lebanon

  • Classic luxury at The Portman Ritz Carlton, Shanghai

    ByQ X

    Who? The Portman Ritz Carlton, Shanghai What? The Portman Ritz Carlton in Shanghai has been an instant classic since the day it opened decades ago. Situated in the heart of Puxi, it’s ideally located for visiting many of Shanghai’s best known tourist sites. Of course, it wouldn’t be Ritz Carlton without being sumptuously luxurious inside, which of course it is. But while it’s a bit of a legend in the city, and it continues to collect accolades in the likes of Condé Nast Traveler’s Best Of lists, it’s open to innovation too. Cue, their recently launched Most Handsome Brunch in town. Another instant classic, we think. When? Open year round…
