Cool Hunting

Everland Hotel
by Tacita Vero Just opened, the Everland Hotel sits like a jewel on the roof of that treasure chest, the contemporary art space Palais De Tokyo in Paris. First installed in 2002 at other locations including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Leipzig, the Hotel is reaching its most stunning and coveted placement in the City of Light, oddly on the top of the 1930s...

Hotel Particulier
Nestled in a garden down a secret cobblestone path off Avenue Junot in Paris' Montmartre lies the impossibly charming five-room Hotel Particulier. CH had the privilege of staying there recently (courtesy of the hotel, which just opened its doors in June) and enjoyed the luxuriously appointed rooms and movie-perfect setting—the adjacent pétanque court being the cherry on top of the cake.

Mykonos Theoxenia
Overlooking the Aegean, the Mykonos Theoxenia has been a top destination in the Greek isles for over 40 years. Their recent interior re-design makes it all the more appealing by adding a retro-modern look, a harmonious match with Aris Konstantinidis' original architecture. Billed as "60s glam," the new decor has an unabashed Jonathan Adler feel with a mix of organic egg-like vases and lamps...
