1 Hotel Nashville is a mission-driven urban oasis that emphasizes sustainability through initiatives and infrastructure without minimizing its luxe features. Established in 1910, Nashville’s historic crown jewel The Hermitage Hotel’s elegant grandeur exceeds expectations with recent renovations and the addition of Chef Jean-Georges’ on-site signature restaurant Drusie & Darr.

Music City’s premier accommodations extend beyond Downtown to Midtown and The Gulch where Conrad Nashville and W Nashville have been added, respectively. Visitors can enjoy an intimate stay at the exclusive Soho House, located in Wedgewood-Houston.

With more than 200 new restaurants opened in the past two years, the city’s culinary scene is booming with award-winning, chef-driven restaurants. Named Food & Wine’s Restaurant of the Year in 2022, chef Trevor Moran’s Locust boasts the innovative pairing of dumplings and Japanese-shaved ice.

James Beard Award-winning Chef Sean Brock’s flagship spots, Audrey and June, honor his Appalachian roots and traditions of the rural South.

TAILOR Nashville further diversifies Nashville’s foodie offerings by way of culinary creator Vivek Surti’s South Asian American menu and dinner party atmosphere. Nearby, Rolf and Daughters’ upscale, delicious fare is a crowd favorite with its bold flavors, spearheaded by chef-owner Philip Krajeck.

Down to Earth: Find Your Element for the Ultimate Customized Spa Experience at Chuan Spa

After a stressful pre-holiday season and a busy work schedule, there was no better time for a relaxing spa experience than during my recent trip to Pasadena with the FXExpress Publications, Inc. team. We headed to The Langham Huntington, Pasadena for the 20th anniversary of the GT Tested Reader Survey awards, which meant a jam-packed trip, but I managed to carve a little time out of our busy schedule to visit Chuan Spa at the hotel.

Fukui: A Culture Hub in Rural Japan Worth the Detour

In many cases, less can be more in terms of what smaller cities and small-scale museums have to offer. This is true for Fukui Prefecture, located on the west coast of the main island and best known for its coastline, terrain and quiet towns. While major cities are awash with large-scale museums, bucolic Fukui Prefecture is worth a visit for its assemblage of institutions offering a deeper dive into Japanese life, history and culture.

Come Face-to-Face with Mountain Gorillas on a Trek in Uganda

Not a word was spoken as I settled into a cozy spot on the outdoor terrace just outside the main lodge at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge in Uganda. The air was so still the ice in my single malt seemed to echo off the forest in the distance as it clanked against the glass. I sat among a handful of fellow adventurers, each sitting silently beneath the night sky for one collective goal. Moments earlier, we learned a troop of mountain gorillas had made their way down the mountain near our lodge, and we left our meals to instead sit in eager anticipation of hearing the guttural grunts of the primates below. The chills on my arms never left me that night, even as I made my way up a stone pathway to my personal banda (guestroom). Thankfully, sleep came quickly for me that night as I drifted into dreams of what my next day would bring.
