They say you need three essentials in life: a good doctor, a sharp suit, and a reliable lawyer. But perhaps it’s worth adding three more—less practical, maybe, but just as grounding: a satisfying meal, a boat that evokes freedom, and a quiet hotel where you can hear yourself think.

Many establishments of excellence in the hospitality industry, enjoying success, have become seeds to an ever-growing tree of destinations with branches found far and wide. It is easy to see the alluring attraction of such growth, and if managed sensibly it may be justified but all too often the essence and character of the seedling may not always be retained in new sprouts.
