When you hear that Six Senses has just one Swiss property, you might expect the hotelier’s alpine debut to fit seamlessly into Verbier or Zermatt’s lineup of ultra-luxe accommodations. You would be forgiven for questioning why the luxury giant chose Crans-Montana, a French-speaking resort that, for the most part, flies quietly under the radar.

Nov 30, 2024 | elitetraveler.com | Grace Taylor

If Paris has Valentine’s Day and Sydney claims New Year’s Eve, then Christmas is undoubtedly New York’s time to shine – and we mean quite literally.

Hosted in the grand Gare des Invalides, I traveled to Paris to celebrate 10 years of Krug’s Single Ingredient program, an innovative culinary series that pays tribute to the maison’s dedication to the craft of champagne. The evening begins in a softly lit, Parisian-style living room, where Olivier Krug, director of the house (and sixth-generation Krug), and cellar master Julie Cavil greet me with a warm welcome, and we share a “Santé!” over a chilled glass of Krug Rosé.
