Some places don’t need to be reinvented, just rethought a little. For example, what was once a simple campsite on the edge of Aschau in Chiemgau has been transformed into a stylish, modern chalet village – without losing even a hint of its intimate connection to nature. On the contrary. With the Agrad Chalets, a place of power has been created that blends quietly into its surroundings and is luxurious without saying it out loud.

A spoon gliding through soft egg yolk, a ray of light shining through a window or the tinkling of a glass in the evening: sometimes it’s not the loud sounds but the quiet moments that linger in the memory. The design hotel K5, designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune, is located in a historic bank building in the heart of Tokyo’s financial district. In addition to rooms, an entrance area and a pop-up space, it also houses three culinary spots that are not just about eating waffles and drinking sake, but about discovering moments that sparkle without being loud.

Adam and Eve might have left the apple hanging on the tree had they known about the heavenly Puradies. Nestled on a sun-kissed plateau in Leogang, the resort—home to the Ess:enz restaurant—feels like a taste of paradise itself. Here, not only do countless plants thrive, but also the creative ideas that turn them into seductive, gourmet-level dishes. The real temptation? It’s not just in the apple, but in a cleverly crafted carrot or a perfectly plated portion of Nidei…

There are places where you can’t even see the stars at night because the streets and houses are so brightly lit. That’s not the case at Serra Nature. After all, the eco-resort is located in the middle of the Sierra Calderona Nature Park – surrounded by nature. What makes the magic of the night here complete? A dinner under the stars – where the sky shines, the silence speaks and every moment tastes of infinity.

Still waters run deep, so they say. But what about dark waters? Dark waters are profound, sometimes healing, but definitely fascinating. Just like the Schwarzsee in Kitzbühel. Under the watchful eye of the Wilder Kaiser, not only the gentle waves of the water unfold here, but also the gentle waves of relaxation at the Alpenhotel Kitzbühel.

Piece by piece, interior designer Pascale Lauber and co-owner Ulrike Bauschke have carefully renovated and modernized this historic palazzo. A particularly striking contrast to the ancient walls is found in the steel-framed windows and doors, reminiscent of diamonds. Unique antique pieces and custom-made furnishings from various countries and eras come together in a truly magical way. The sofas and bed headboards come from South Africa, a fire bowl from the South African bush has been transformed into a bathtub. An old olive press serves as a communal table, and an impressive chandelier, designed by Pascale Lauber herself, hangs from the bar’s ceiling.

Berlin-Charlottenburg has undergone a fascinating transformation in recent years: once known as a bourgeois district, a creative and cosmopolitan scene has emerged around Kantstraße. Here, art, gastronomy, and urban lifestyle blend in a unique way – and right in the middle of it all is Hotel Wilmina, a hidden gem that serves as both a retreat and a source of inspiration.
