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…

S E O U L 서울

Stay: My favorite hotels in Seoul are the Park Hyatt and The Shilla. The Park Hyatt is in Gangnam-gu (South of the Han River), so really convenient to get around if you’re running around that side of town. 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…
