The stage was maybe five feet away, and right at 6:30 a fellow with a guitar and a woman in a blue and white Hawaiian-print dress began testing the sound system.

InnsightsThe world left the worst of the pandemic behind two years ago, and the era of high-charged “revenge travel” appears to have ended. But the demand for luxury hotels remains incredibly strong. A recent study by CoStar found that the number of worldwide hotels charging at least $1,000 (all figures USD) per night has nearly tripled since 2019. There were 179 hotels around the globe with an average daily rate of $1,000 in 2019.
