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 alongside chunky geometrical wood furniture. But the place is more than simply good-looking, the full-service boutique hotel has a full range of services, including a pool, restaurant, bar, a conference "board", and spa, and it's located nearby the historic Saint Charalambos chapel where visitors can arrange weddings and other events.
Opening in April with rates starting at €140, you can book through Design Hotels.

by Passa Chattra Simplicitas's clean and clever solution keeps your toiletries protected when traveling and conveniently hung when you arrive at your destination. Most toiletry bags are made of soft collapsible fabrics which are great for conserving space in luggage, but don't provide much protection to keep plastic bottles and tubes from exploding or leaking. The 182 Gram Toiletry Bag is made of durable...
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. With a well-curated...
