    Matbah Restaurant, Ottoman Imperial Hotel: Dine Like a Sultan

    By Myrna Katz Frommer on 7:49 am in Luxury Life Review / no comments

    From the outside, the Ottoman Imperial Hotel calls little attention to itself. It’s clearly a historic building, but then this is the historic area of Istanbul. Directly across the street, a high iron gate opens to one of the gardens of the magnificent Hagia Sofia, dedicated by Constantine in 360 A.D., turned from a Greek […]

    The Enchantments of Mas De Torrent in Catalonia’s Baix Emporda

    By Myrna Katz Frommer on 7:11 am in Luxury Life Review / no comments

    It’s a straight shot out of Barcelona heading north towards France along the AP-7, through the heart of northern Catalonia, one of the oldest and most beautiful sections of Europe. To the west and north, the Pyrenees rise, deep and green; to the east, the beaches and coves of Costa Brava look out to the […]

    ELBOW BEACH BERMUDA: REDUX AND ANEW Part Two

    By Myrna Katz Frommer on 2:42 pm in Luxury Life Review / no comments

    While there may be fewer dining than spa-treatments options at Elbow Beach, the four outlets provide enough variety in cuisine and ambience to keep one happy and sated for many a day without ever leaving the resort. Blue Point, steps away from the spa and Kids’ Club, serves fresh salads, sandwiches, gourmet pizza, and ice […]

    ELBOW BEACH BERMUDA: REDUX AND ANEW Part One

    By Myrna Katz Frommer on 2:46 pm in Luxury Life Review / no comments

    A friend, fed up with her job, described the environment as a “Brave New World,” and we knew just what she meant. Ever since Aldous Huxley’s novel was published in 1925, its title has stepped out becoming an ironic label for a future dominated by technology and peopled by spiritless automatons. But in their original […]

     
     
  • “Hot and Cool” Merge in Marrakech’s Murano Oriental Resort

    “Hot and Cool” Merge in Marrakech’s Murano Oriental Resort

    By Myrna Katz Frommer on 5:35 am in Luxury Life Review / no comments

    Myrna Katz Frommer and Harvey Frommer Murano Oriental Resort is cool. The luxe property combines the exotic and hip in a setting of high design. Hot meets cool in Palmeraie, a seemingly endless stretch of desert on the outskirts of Marrakech where palm trees (protected by the king) grow undisturbed — even in the middle […]

     
     
  • Keeping the Miracle in Mind at Tel Aviv’s Sheraton Hotel & Towers

    Keeping the Miracle in Mind at Tel Aviv’s Sheraton Hotel & Towers

    By Myrna Katz Frommer on 6:38 am in Luxury Life Review / no comments

    There is a Frenchman at the helm of the Sheraton Tel Aviv, and he fits it (to coin a cliché) like a glove. The elegant Jean-Louis Ripoche was born in Paris, his family comes from the Loire Valley, and he brings to the property an élan and savoir faire bred of his Gallic roots. At […]

    The Call of Istanbul (part 1)

    By Myrna Katz Frommer on 12:39 pm in Luxury Life Review / no comments

    It was a bright and beautiful Wednesday in August 2001, the afternoon our first day in Istanbul We emerged from the cool comfort of the gleaming and glamorous Divan Hotel into a high-end neighborhood of late 20th century buildings and crossed a wide boulevard teeming with traffic. On the opposite side, in a municipal park the […]

    The Call of Istanbul (part 2)

    By Myrna Katz Frommer on 11:36 am in Luxury Life Review / no comments

    continued… see part 1 The next morning, prompted by memories of the movie where Melina Mercouri plans and nearly succeeds in a fantastic jewel heist, we returned to Sultanahmet to see the actual dagger and jeweled treasures of Topkapi Palace — only to discover the Treasury Room was among those sections closed for renovations. But […]

    Big News on Miami’s South Beach: The Hotel Breakwater

    By Myrna Katz Frommer on 6:11 pm in Luxury Life Review / no comments

    South Beach, Miami. A starry Monday night, the week of Thanksgiving. Cars cruising up and down Ocean Drive, slowly, taking in the scene. To one side, the beach and the sea –save for waves crashing against the shore, dark and silent. To the other, a line of hotels, deep courtyards between them, live bands or […]

    The Riviera Palm Springs: Where the Mid 20th Century Lingers into the 21st

    By Myrna Katz Frommer on 4:57 pm in Luxury Life Review / 1 comment

    We had just been comfortably seated in the Riviera Palm Springs’ signature dining room, ordered a couple of drinks and begun perusing the menu, when seemingly from out of nowhere – a piano solo, a delicate tinkle of melody in the treble followed by some brassy bars in the bass, and then: “Out of the […]
