48-Hours in Hong Kong is all I had. I figured since I was already over in Asia for work that I would spend the weekend jetting off somewhere chic. I have always been known to be someone that moves smoothly in and out of countries with ease, so choosing a place after Singapore seemed like a natural extension to my travel…

H O N G K O N G 香港
Stay: To me, the only place to stay in Hong Kong is The Upper House. This was my third stay and each time continues to get better and better. It is the only place I will stay, while visiting Hong Kong and I can't wait to come back every time I leave. It's my "home" in Hong Kong and by far one of my favorite spots worldwide. The team at Upper House knows Hong Kong inside and out- everywhere to go- from secret restaurants, nail salons that you can get amazing nail art at (I got Yayoi Kusama nails painted before I headed back to NYC), massage parlors, and places to explore local culture and create memorable experiences…

Stay: My favorite hotels in Seoul are the Park Hyatt and The Shilla.

The Shilla, on the other hand, is up on the mountain (North of the Han River) and where a lot of business takes place. For this post, I’ll discuss the Park Hyatt since that’s where we stayed. It’s a super clean and modern hotel with floor to ceiling windows, an awesome soaking bathtub with Aesop products, and some of the best house keeping I have ever experienced. The lobby has striking views of Seoul and a really chill rectangular pool and multi-room gym…

T O K Y O 東京都
Stay: The Peninsula, Chiyoda. We arrived in Tokyo where we stayed at The Peninsula Hotel located in Chiyoda. Chiyoda is an area within Tokyo known for being the business district. It is home to the Imperial Palace, Hibiya Park, Natural Museum of M1odern Art and the Yasukuni Shrine. It’s not the most glamorous or the most lively part of town, but it’s central and hosts some of the cities best five-star hotels (plus!). The Peninsula is my favorite hotel in Tokyo. Everything is curated from the gigantic fitting room style walk-in closets to the spa music in the bathrooms (complete with your very own bath salts from their legendary spa)…
