16 UPCOMING HOTEL LAUNCHES WORTH THE WAIT • Luxury has a new address across the globe as a new wave of hotels and resorts is setting the tone for indulgent hospitality.

GEORGIA, ON THE RISE • Georgia is the kind of place that makes it easy to fall for the view: the Caucasus rising into the clouds, Tbilisi’s old-world balconies, vineyards that stretch across ancient wine country, and tables that seem to have been laid for one more guest. But look beyond the postcard and a more layered story emerges. This is a country where centuries-old traditions sit alongside a growing appetite for contemporary luxury, where food and wine are as much a way of understanding a place as its architecture, and where landscapes shift from mountain wilderness to a capital alive with creative energy. Georgia is now finding new ways to welcome the world without losing sight of what makes it distinct.

The Modern Odyssey • Not every pilgrimage is religious. For some, it takes the form of an annual marathon, a return to the mountains of Alaska, or a journey across continents for a shared passion. What unites them, Rishika Singh finds, is the meaning these experiences gather over time.

Four Days in Guadalajara • While visiting one of Mexico’s most enchanting cities, Ray Isle found himself waiting out a security crisis—and discovered a deeper appreciation for the chance to travel at all.

THE ULTIMATE RIDE • Vintage cars are enduring symbols of cultural heritage and human history. Shaped by hands in a time when charm was the main draw, these rolling works of art dazzle, delight, and distinguish themselves with their timeless appeal.
