Our MissionSince its launch in 2001, Elite Traveler has been a market-leading guide and curator to the global luxury lifestlye of Ultra-High-Net-Worth-Individuals. Reflecting the increasing globalization of private wealth, the editors in both New York and London bring indispensable insights of the world's best hotels and resorts, restaurants, experiences, fashion watches, jewelry, travel and motoring to its readers.

In features, Elite Traveler offers analysis and advice on the issues that specifically matter to living the private jet lifestyle.

The curved-roof temples and timber-and-brick columned pavilions of Chengdu are a relic of the 18th and 19th centuries when the Qing Dynasty emperors left their mark on the city. Nowhere is this architectural style clearer than in Temple House, an upscale hotel for the new breed of traveler and the latest project from Swire Hotels – the group behind the celebrated Opposite House in Beijing and Upper House in Hong Kong. The 100-room hotel sits next door to the famous Daci Temple and references its history with simple architecture.

Take a walk on the wild sideAs lesser-known parts of Africa open up to luxury tourism, new hotels are injecting style and glamour into emerging regions of the continent

1 Stylish ecolodge Limalimo opens this month in the Simien Mountains, Ethiopia. The resort has 14 elegant rooms that look onto the Unesco World Heritage-listed national park, a bar with awe-inspiring views of the lowlands, hammocks strung lazily between acacia trees and some very unusual visitors – troupes of local Gelada monkeys (pictured) that pass through. limalimolodge.com

2 The beautifully secluded Benguerra Island resort, overlooking the Mozambique coast and sheltered by a pine forest, has reopened after a $5.5m renovation. The colonial bandas are styled with a nod to the region’s Portuguese heritage and the fresh seafood is exquisite. Guests are assigned a Mozambican butler and private dinners can be arranged on the beach or in your cabana. andbeyond.com/benguerra-island

3 Serengeti National Park isn't exactly untapped by tourists but the new Namiri Plains has reopened in a remote eastern area of the park, after being closed for 20 years to create a cheetah haven. There are no other lodges, so guests at the semi-permanent eight-tent camp can view the migration of wildebeest and zebra, which starts in October, totally undisturbed by others. namiriplains.asiliaafrica.com

Simple, pale-colored rooms have natural bamboo and plain wooden screens. Meanwhile the three restaurants are a study in modern elegance. Book the Penthouse for its terrace, outdoor Jacuzzi and views across the city; beyond are the jungle habitats of the region’s other most famous resident – the giant panda.From $10,760 a night thetemplehousehotel.com

The palatial lobby of the theater at

the Ace Hotel

The 60-suite Carlton Hotel in St Moritz will be available for exclusive use this ski season. Which means you can have the terrace, the Michelin-starred restaurant and the three-floor spa all to yourself. From $97,500 a nightcarlton-stmoritz.ch

Ten years ago, downtown Los Angeles wasn’t the kind of place to garner many column inches. Now, thanks to world-class art developments, upscale hotels and a smattering of high-end restaurants, it’s emerging as a vibrant alternative to the city’s beach hoods – and a home to a new creative class.

Eli Broad will open his long-awaited Broad Art Museum on September 20, which will feature a 105-foot escalator to reach its numerous galleries. Plus the Museum of Contemporary Art, the forthcoming Hauser & Wirth gallery (due early next year) and this month’s arrival of a

West Coast outpost of the NYC Maccarone Gallery will add weight to the region's art scene.

The Ace Hotel has breathed new life to the area around South Broadway and West 9th Street with its hipster attitude and sceney restaurant. And, undeterred by some of the most expensive retail space in the city, exclusive fashion retailers such as APC and Acne Studios have moved in.

The hottest restaurant (for now, at least) is Bestia. After hours, cinematic bars such as The Varnish or The Edison (in a renovated power plant) are the places to while the night away in this newly grooving district.acehotel.com/losangeles

TAKE THREE/// SUPER LUXURY SUVS

1 BENTLEY BENTAYGAOne of the most anticipated Bentleys for a generation, the Bentayga will be “as at home in Kensington as it is in the Atacama Desert”. Expect it to be big, bold and enormous fun. Powered by a 550bhp W12, it will accelerate from 0-60mph in about five seconds.

Does the world need Maserati? The path to motoring glory is paved with national stereotypes. It may be contentious in an age of global ownership when Lamborghini, Audi and Bentley share more parts than anyone likes to admit, but nationality matters. We want the Brits to offer walnut heritage and the Germans to create meisterwerks of safe, efficient driving. We need Americans to make big, brash muscle machines and the Japanese to do what they do, with an occasional curveball. As for Italians? They bring flair and style. And while Alfa Romeo has made two nice cars in recent years, Ferrari and Lamborghini have this covered.

Which leaves Maserati. In recent years, it has focused on sporty-but-practical end of the market notably big, sports sedans. While it can lay claim to having created the blueprint for these with the 1963 Quattroporte, this doesn’t fit the national stereotype.

So hats off to the German running the company at the moment. He’s recognized the value of collaboration with ever-so-Italian fashion house Ermenegildo Zegna. And while major new models aren’t due until 2017 (apart from the admittedly more Italian Alfieri), the 2016 range offers seats made from 100% silk with a personalized tailor’s label on back of the driver’s sunshade.

It’s a masterpiece of “nationality marketing” and it made perfect sense at the launch, as the two immaculate CEOs sat in the Grand Hotel de Iles Borromees’s Hemingway Suite on the banks of Lago

Maggiore, explaining why this project marks the start of an innovative business partnership (and not a marriage of brand convenience). There was much mutual brand love in the air as the two talked of years of testing to develop silk tough enough for the wear and tear faced by a car seat.

So what of the 2016 Quattroporte? This upgrade of the sixth incarnation, which arrived in 2013, comes with engines tweaked to be cleaner and more efficient. The top-of-the-range GTS boasts a thumping 530bhp, 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 (from Ferrari), which delivers more sporty agility on winding Italian mountain roads than a car with this much girth has the right to.

Inside the cabin, there is plenty of new tech, from a premium 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins surround sound stereo (with a function called Clari-Fi, which takes compressed audio files and plays back music at near-studio quality) to better phone connectivity (with voice control via Siri) and a touch screen that controls much of the car, but which flummoxed me.

Above all, in cars with the Zegna option, there is lots of sober grey silk. Each car uses roughly 13 yards of silk – four times the amount needed for a Zegna two-piece suit. And here it all starts to sound so very Italian – and it becomes clear why the world needs Maserati.

Aston Martin’s Rapide, as designed

by Ares (above); Dany Bahar (right)

elite traveler SEPT/OCT 2015 ISSUE 5

Dany Bahar is a man on a mission. And for a man famous within the motoring world as an obsessive brand builder – he’s worked his magic on Red Bull, Ferrari and Lotus – that mission is strangely unconcerned with branding. His new venture, Ares, offers what he calls: “A new process, a new manufacture that is only limited by customers’ courage and the limits of time and money.”

For the time being that means taking existing cars and doing anything from adding a few personal touches to completely redesigning and rebuilding the bodywork. For example, if you want that mythical Rolls Royce SUV the firm has talked about but never produced, then buy a Ghost, send it to Ares and they’ll turn it into an SUV.

“In every sector and all areas of consumer activity people want personalization. In private jet travel, they want the interiors of their jet designed to their taste. They also want something unique to them that no one else has. The exception is cars, when customers have to accept the limits set by manufacturers. You can define the leather, stitching or piping, but you can’t change the angle of the dashboard, or replace cheap wood veneers with Swarovski crystals.”

Currently doing big business in the Middle East, China and Russia, a second showroom opened in London last month – although it is unclear what purpose the showrooms fulfill. The US market is in Bahar’s sights. “The US has a huge potential and a new partnership is in the offing for 2016.”

While cars are currently the main focus, Bahar talks excitedly about applying the techniques and crafts at Ares to yachts and jets. He adds that an Italian entrepreneur wants something special done to his helicopter later in the year. He may not be building a brand, but Bahar has just as much ambition as ever. ares-performance.com

Classic cars

If you’re looking for a classic car investment, head to the 1970s and 1980s. Star performer in 2015 is a Lamborghini Countach LP400S Coupe, up 45% from $328,257 to $465,485, and a Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina Berlinetta up 43% to $175,616.

WHERE THE SHEIKS PIMP THEIR RIDES

2 LAMBORGHINI URUS Whether Lamborghini today represents a marriage of inconvenience between German and Italian engineering, or the sublime blend of looks and mechanics, it was inevitable that it would enter the SUV fray. The Urus boasts classic Lambo looks with power and performance.

3 ASTON MARTIN DBX A shock reveal at the last Geneva motor show, the DBX is allegedly on its way into production. With electric motors, fly-by-wire steering and a KERS regenerative braking system, it would mark a radical departure for Aston, if the production car matched the concept.

Secret modernist palaceSUITE 5000 MANDARIN ORIENTAL

Even regular Mandarin fans might not know about this suite, which is so top secret it doesn’t appear on the website or any of the hotel’s marketing material. Bookings come only via word of mouth, (Brad Pitt and Beyoncé are among those who got wind of it), and the suite is considered by staff to be better than the Presidential one. It certainly looks more striking, eschewing the brand’s signature black lacquer and Asian-style gilt for something more modern and New York. Guests are greeted by a huge modern artwork of frosted Fruit Loop packets, while metallic wallpapers, minimal furniture and the hi-tech media center make it feel slick and modern. There are wraparound views across the Hudson and Central Park, but despite glamorous touches – there is a Swarovski chandelier above the master bath – it somehow remains beautifully homely and its two entrances add to the sense of privacy.

Special amenities The Dior Cabine, in which stylists from the Dior flagship in the city will provide clothes, personalized styling and shopping for Suite 5000 guests. Plus there’s a curated record collection featuring a wide range from 1930s jazz to rare 1970s hip hop. Extra touches on request – one family requested Minnie Mouse themed decoration in the suite for their child.Size 3,300 sq ftNumber of rooms Eight (including three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, living room, kitchen)Nightly Rate From $32,000Contact +1 212 805 8800, mandarinoriental.com/newyork

Top suites New YorkNew York is a white-knuckle ride of a city, a gutsy place with no shortage of high-end hotels to choose from and enough top suites to fill a telephone directory. Some offer fleets of Bentleys for guest use, others come with personal shoppers from Dior, art collections by Robert De Niro – and one even has a concierge who will remember the temperature of your bath water. But our team has done the hard work for you and picked out the suites that are, in our humble opinion, most worth checking into the next time you’re in town

The Market Leader

Whether writing about art or travel, fashion or food, watches, motoring or technology, the editorial team at Elite Traveler draws on this network.

New York-based Laurie Brookins covers the latest fashion and style, while a panel of watch writers discovers the best limited edition watches. Gerard Basset, one of the world's best sommeliers, tastes some of the world's finest wines.

Plus a host of guest contributors, from art collector Eli Broad to designer John Varvatos discuss subjects close to their hearts (philanthropy to the revival of Detroit, respectively).

Elsewhere, as well as drawing on some of the foremost travel writers around the world, Elite Traveler always seeks to uncover the inside or local story.

So, whether we're looking to

commission an expert total guide to one of the world's great cities (from Berlin, Shanghai and Paris to Vancouver and Melbourne) or outlining the ideal itinerary for a holiday in locations such South Africa, New Zealand or the French Riviera, we turn to the local experts able to give readers the lowdown on where to go, what to see, where to stay and how to make the most of their valuable time.

We rely on an extensive global network of editorial experts who help us deliver our multi-award winning magazine to a high standard for every single issue.

Our reporting provides detailed information readers can’t find anywhere else, such as the names of the best therapists at top spas, and direct phone numbers for resort general managers. With the most knowledgeable editors covering key categories such as watches, jewelry, fashion, automotive, spirits and travel, Elite Traveler is an indispensable guide for the ultra-wealthy to find the best in luxury products and services, as noted in an independent survey

Total guide to StockholmNo longer a shimmering sea of blond, Stockholm is kicking back against the stereotype and evolving into a more multicultural city, as waves of newcomers arrive from around the world. Today, more than a quarter of Stockholmers are of non-Swedish descent, bringing a breadth of fresh perspectives on everything from design to dining. But as demographics change, the beautiful city remains as attractive as ever.

There’s a reason stylish locals walk and bike through the streets even when temperatures drop: the promise of watery vistas and elegant architecture bathed in golden sunlight waits around every corner. Here, we present an insider’s guide to the people and places that make Stockholm one of Europe’s most enchanting cities.
