On sunny days, the terrace is transformed to offer lunch and dinner in the middle of the garden. The combination of his Greek heritage and his fundamental training in French gastronomy at the Institut Paul Bocuse give the Palais Royal Restaurant’s two Michelin-starred Chef a unique culinary identity. Former member of Joël Robuchon’s exclusive team, Philip Chronopoulos stands out due to his experience in various prestigious and exacting establishments before taking over the kitchens of the Palais Royal Restaurant in 2015.

Imperial Tradition & Contemporary Elegance The story of Gōra Kadan dates back to 1930, when Prince Ikehito, the sixth head of the Kan’in-no-miya branch of the Japanese imperial family, established his summer residence in the village of Gōra, Hakone. In 1948, the residence was transformed into Gōra Kadan, the first hotel of its name, seamlessly combining Japanese tradition and European sophistication. Since then, Gōra Kadan has evolved across generations, with owners and managers dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Kan’in-no-miya family. Today, the hotel is renowned for its elegance, refinement, and exceptional service—qualities that have earned it a lasting reputation. Mount Fuji, an icon of Japan, holds a special place in the country’s culture. Instantly recognizable, it is a constant source of inspiration in art, poetry, music, and film.

Courtesy the artist and Hauser & Wirth - ARTREVIEW.com Art in the City Italy Relais Signature World | Milan, Italy The Last Supper of Leonardo da Vinci (Cenacolo Vinciano) is one of the most famous paintings in the world. This artwork was painted between 1494 and 1498 under the government of Ludovico il Moro and represents the last "dinner" between Jesus and his disciples. In order to create this unique work, Leonardo carried out an exhaustive research creating an infinity of preparatory sketches. Leonardo abandons the traditional method of fresco painting, painting the scene "dry" on the wall of the refectory. Traces of gold and silver foils have been found which testify to the artist's willingness to make the figures in a much more realistic manner, including precious details. After completion, his technique and environmental factor had contributed to the eventual deterioration of the fresco, which had undergone numerous restorations. The most recent restoration was completed in 1999 where several scientific methods were used to restore the original colors as close as possible, and to eliminate traces of paint applied in previous attempts to restore the fresco. www.cenacolovinciano.org/en/ culture. culture. culture. culture.

EXHIBITION David Hockney - UK Presented at Serpentine North from 12th March to 23rd August 2026, the exhibition will showcase seminal works, shown in the UK for the first time. Admission will be free to the exhibition which is the artist’s first at Serpentine. From painting, drawing, printmaking, set design, and photography to media ranging from fax machines to iPads, Hockney demonstrates his deep understanding of art history coupled with his interest in modern technology to create new ways of seeing and presenting. David Hockney's rich and enduring body of work reveals his passion for contemporary life and curiosity about the world, epitomized by his signature phrase, “Love Life.” A major exhibition of more than 400 of the artist’s works from 1955 to 2025 was recently presented at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris featuring international, institutional, and private collections’ works, as well as paintings from the artist’s own studio. The exhibition – curated at David Hockney’s request by Sir Norman Rosenthal, the former Exhibitions Secretary of London’s Royal Academy of Arts, in close collaboration with Suzanne Pagé, Artistic Director of Fondation Louis Vuitton, and her team brought together works in a variety of media including oil and acrylic painting, ink, pencil and charcoal drawing, digital art (iPhone, iPad, and computer drawings), immersive video installation and photographic drawing. Spanning seven decades of ground-breaking creativity, David Hockney 25 highlighted not only Hockney’s iconic early works but also places a special focus on the past 25 years, the early part of the 21st century, which has inspired the event's title. While the world came in the Spring of 2020, Hockney produced over a hundred images on his iPad within just a few weeks. Working digitally lets him capture the essence of each scene quickly and precisely. Much like the Impressionists, Hockney skilfully records changes in light and weather, but uses a vivid, radiant palette. His compositions combine flat areas of bold colour with playful pop-like touches. As the days pass, lockdown lifts, and spring transitions into summer, then autumn and winter. Hockney didn’t stop at painting spring, he captured the whole cycle of the year. The exhibition will include Hockney’s recent works: the celebrated Moon Room which reflects his lifelong interest in the cycle of light and time passing. It will also feature digital paintings from his Sunrise body of work. A Year in Normandy, a ninety-metre-long frieze, inspired by the Bayeaux Tapestry, showing the change of seasons at the artist’s former studio in Normandy, will also feature in the show. David Hockney is interested in how art and technology can come together in new ways. Recommending that people slow down and notice the beauty of the world around them, he believes that simple, everyday beauty, like a sunrise, is worth celebrating. David Hockney (b. 1937 in Bradford, Yorkshire) has been at the forefront of the international art world for more than six decades. He emerged as one of the exceptional talents in the new generation of British artists in the early 1960s. Throughout his extraordinarily prolific career, he remains endlessly inventive and committed to celebrating the world around him. Hockney is fascinated by the language of representation in a variety of forms. He explores the conventions of Chinese and Japanese painting as well as the traditions of European art. He experimented with abstraction; however, he steadfastly remains a figurative artist. Constantly questioning the world around him, he draws and paints from life, from memory, and from imagination. Across his career he has created many bodies of works and numerous individual paintings which are now viewed as iconic. His experimental paintings in the early sixties announced the arrival of a new artistic voice. These were followed by a celebrated series of Hollywood swimming pools where the young Hockney arrived in 1964, documenting the city’s seductive charm and ambience from the position of an outsider. Often poetically titled, works such as A Bigger Splash and Beverly Hills Housewife have become celebrated paintings and part of the modern vernacular. credit photos :A Year in Normandie (detail), 2020-2021, composite iPad painting © David Hockney /David Hockney, London, 2023 © David Hockney Photo Credit: Jean-Pierre Gonçalves de Lima Can a photographic portrait ignite political imagination? NY - USA, The Museum of Modern Art Ideas of Africa: Portraiture and Political Imagination explores how photographers and their sitters helped shape and spread Pan-African solidarity in the mid-20th century. Reflecting the international spirit of the era, the exhibition brings together striking images from photographers working in Central and West African cities. Their portraits capture everyday citizens, vibrant music scenes, and powerful expressions of youth culture, all of which mirrored the political transformations of the time. The works of Jean Depara, Seydou Keïta, Malick Sidibé, and Sanlé Sory depict life in Bamako, Bobo-Dioulasso, and Kinshasa during an era when decolonization swept the African continent alongside the rise of the US Civil Rights movement. The exhibition also highlights James Barnor and Kwame Brathwaite—photographers based in Europe and North America—whose images contributed to the global construction of Africa as both a political idea and cultural force. Contemporary contributions from artists such as Samuel Fosso, Silvia Rosi, and Njideka Akunyili Crosby demonstrate the enduring relevance of these themes today. Brimming with possibility, Ideas of Africa: Portraiture and Political Imagination celebrates the photographic portrait as a powerful vehicle of creativity and a lasting catalyst for political thought across the world. moma.org DIOR Adventure begins here fashion. fashion. fashion. fashion.

News from Here & There traveling By private jet. President, and founder of global private jet company Bitlux, Kyle Patel , sheds light on how private aviation connects flawlessly with the silent travel trend, allowing wonderers to reach remote and secluded places far removed from the usual tourism magnets. How private jet travel maximizes the ‘quiet travel’ mantra & Travel Jet In an era dominated by the incessant buzz of social media, where experiences are often measured by their shareability, a refreshing countertrend is gaining momentum, that of quiet travel, according to the Pinterest "Summer 2024 Travel Report". This movement goes against the frenetic pursuit of tourist traps and instead proposes a more contemplative, introspective approach to exploring the world. At its core, quiet travel is about creating space for mindfulness and self-reflection. It’s a rebellion against the pressure to constantly perform and document our adventures, instead inviting us to fully inhabit the present moment. This might mean rising early to watch the sunrise over an ancient temple, sitting alone in a quaint café to scribble in a notebook, or taking a solitary stroll on a secluded beach. Of course, private jet travel is known for being exclusive and flexible and maintains total privacy. It is the natural partner to the trend of quiet travel as it takes away the stress of commercial travel and the hassle of the airport. You can travel from a small local airport with excellent facilities and the whole travel process is expedited. The experience of traveling by private jet is of course, unparalleled and the time saved, compliments the quiet travel ethos. Quiet travel is not necessarily about isolation, but more about choosing meaningful relationships over superficial ones. It might involve striking up a conversation with a local shopkeeper, learning a few words of the native language to better appreciate its rhythms, or simply observing the way of life in a new place. In an age of highly filtered perfect vacation images, the quiet travel movement embraces the authentic and unique instead. Where to go As an alternative to the famous party island of Mykonos, a quiet traveler could take a private jet to the tiny Greek island of Kastellorizo. The airport (IATA: KZS ICAO: LGKJ) can accommodate a Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft or general aviation aircraft or you can reach the island by ferry. It is a picture-perfect destination, unmarred by tourism. There is the Blue Cave, a pretty grotto to explore, and a visit to an old taverna at the picturesque harbor with a sparkling bay, is a must. This shift in travel is driven in part by our growing recognition of the importance of mental health and self-care. The relentless pace of modern life can be exhausting, and quiet travel offers us the chance to unplug from our devices, recharge our inner batteries, and tune back into ourselves and what brings us joy. Wellness travel is on the increase, as we try to escape the busyness and stress of life as well as being relieved of a digital detox and the stream of news. In the Pinterest study, one of the most popular destinations is the English countryside, so a visit to God's Own Country and the historic spa town of Ilkley might be in order. The town is surrounded by the beautiful Yorkshire Moors where you can meander to the Cow and Calf Rocks in solitude. Ilkley is skirted by the beautiful River Wharfe and a visit to Betty’s Tea Rooms is a must for the ideal taste of Yorkshire. Nearby is the historic town of Haworth, home to the Bronte sisters. The local airport is Leeds Bradford Airport (IATA: LBA ICAO: EGNM). Of course, quiet travel will not appeal to everyone and that’s perfectly okay. The beauty of exploration is subjective, in the countless ways we can engage with the world. Those who crave action and adrenaline, who delight in the hustle and bustle of foreign cities, will continue to do so. But for those yearning for a deeper, more introspective journey, quiet travel offers a powerful path forward. It allows you to take solace in the serene and feel rejuvenated. Pinterest noted that their travel-related searches over the last year were increasing with 'quiet places' and 'calm places' increasing by 50%. The islands of Okinawa in Japan are another trending place for quiet travel. Okinawa is a world heritage site and has beaches that can be accessed all year round with its gentle climate. The national park on Iriomote Island covers 90% of the island and has mountainous jungle and lush mangroves to navigate and create the perfect quiet travel experience. Okinawa is popular with foodies too and has a flourishing food scene. The nearest airport is Naha Airport (IATA: OKA ICAO: ROAH). The phrase 'cabin in the mountain' also trended in the report. If a mountain retreat and focus on wellness are more your thing, the VIVAMAYR Altaussee at Lake Worthersee in Austria might be an option. The famous wellness clinic offers the Mayr health concept and relaxation to create a tailored and unique well-being journey. The closest airport is Klagenfurt Airport around 20 minutes away (IATA: KLU ICAO: LOWK). For a spiritual journey like no other, you could visit the Ananda, a destination spa, set on a hillside in the foothills of the Himalayas. The spa overlooks the ancient spiritual city of Rishikesh in India, and they offer holistic experiences such as ayurveda, yoga and meditation, fitness, massage, and much more. The nearest airport is Dehradun Airport or Jolly Grant Airport as it is sometimes known (IATA: DED ICAO: VIDN) followed by a 40-minute picturesque drive through the Himalayas. Helicopter transfers are also available to the resort’s own helipad. As we move through the world with greater intention and awareness, we may just discover that the best souvenirs we collect are the insights we glean about ourselves. In the stillness and the present moment, one can take time to enjoy the beauty that awaits just beyond the next horizon. So, if you find the quiet travel revolution appealing, embrace it. Take a private jet to somewhere remote and secluded and get away from it all. Bitlux delivers various services across the air charter industry, but Executive Travel is closest to heart. Whether you are flying for business or leisure, Bitlux provides a top-tier private jet service that actively exceeds expectations. Wien Museum The most spectacular museum opening in the Austrian capital & Wien Austria THE WIEN MUSEUM: HISTORY MEETS THE FUTURE It's Vienna's most spectacular museum opening yet. The Wien Museum on Karlsplatz, completely renovated and enlarged, has been open to visitors again since December 06. The building, which was inaugurated in 1959, had to be refurbished due to a lack of space and the need to renovate. Over a period of four years, Austrian architects Certov and Winkler + Ruck completely modernized the building, adding an extraordinary new floor. A concrete cube now "floats" above the original building. Karlsplatz and the Gußhausviertel, with its imposing architecture and exceptional gastronomy, invite visitors to explore one of the city's emerging districts. The reopening of the Wien Museum is accompanied by a major innovation: the permanent exhibition is free for all. The new permanent exhibition "Wien. Meine Geschichte" ("Vienna. My History") tells the story of the city from Neolithic times to the present day over three floors, 3,300 square metres, and features 1,700 objects. The new "floating" floor offers ample additional space for unusual temporary exhibitions, which visitors will be able to access with a ticket. The museum has already prepared some incredible exhibitions for 2024: the exhibition "Fischer von Erlach. Entwurf einer historischen Architektur" ("Fischer von Erlach. Portrait of a historical architecture", from 01/02), for example, presents the Baroque architect in a contemporary context. The exhibition "Secessionen. Klimt, Stuck, Liebermann" ("The Secession. Klimt, Stuck, Liebermann", from May 23) presents the genius artists who strongly marked the beginning of Modernism at the dawn of the 20th century in Vienna, Munich and Berlin. An open space between the old and new buildings now serves as a terrace, offering spectacular views over Karlsplatz and the surrounding area. This floor houses a café and conference center, as well as mediation workshops. The museum restaurant "trude", named after the Viennese photographer Trude Fleischmann (1895-1990), is located at the entrance and serves modern Viennese cuisine. The bar-café on the terrace has a balcony and is called "& töchter". The museum's largest objects are on display in the new hall: the original sculptures of the Donnerbrunnen (fountain on the Neue Markt), a 5.5-meter model of St. Stephen's Cathedral, the "Poldi" whale and much more.

Hidden under the columns of the Palais-Royal, you will find a restaurant that has been awarded 2 Michelin Guide Star in 2022. It can serve up to thirty people at a time and offers a sophisticated atmosphere with contemporary and modest cuisine. The décor was designed by Christophe Tollemer with its own identity that is consistent throughout, blending the Palais Royal Restaurant into its surrounding environment. On sunny days, the terrace is transformed to offer lunch and dinner in the middle of the garden. The combination of his Greek heritage and his fundamental training in French gastronomy at the Institut Paul Bocuse give the Palais Royal Restaurant’s two Michelin-starred Chef a unique culinary identity. Former member of Joël Robuchon’s exclusive team, Philip Chronopoulos stands out due to his experience in various prestigious and exacting establishments before taking over the kitchens of the Palais Royal Restaurant in 2015. Having been awarded his first star in 2017, he received his second in 2022. In 2020, he expanded his portfolio to become Executive Chef of the Nolinski hotels in Paris and Venice, the latter being scheduled to open in 2023. This new venue will include a gourmet restaurant, “Palais Royal Restaurant Venezia”.

EXHIBITION David Hockney - UK Presented at Serpentine North from 12th March to 23rd August 2026, the exhibition will showcase seminal works, shown in the UK for the first time. Admission will be free to the exhibition which is the artist’s first at Serpentine. From painting, drawing, printmaking, set design, and photography to media ranging from fax machines to iPads, Hockney demonstrates his deep understanding of art history coupled with his interest in modern technology to create new ways of seeing and presenting. David Hockney's rich and enduring body of work reveals his passion for contemporary life and curiosity about the world, epitomized by his signature phrase, “Love Life.” A major exhibition of more than 400 of the artist’s works from 1955 to 2025 was recently presented at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris featuring international, institutional, and private collections’ works, as well as paintings from the artist’s own studio. The exhibition – curated at David Hockney’s request by Sir Norman Rosenthal, the former Exhibitions Secretary of London’s Royal Academy of Arts, in close collaboration with Suzanne Pagé, Artistic Director of Fondation Louis Vuitton, and her team brought together works in a variety of media including oil and acrylic painting, ink, pencil and charcoal drawing, digital art (iPhone, iPad, and computer drawings), immersive video installation and photographic drawing. Spanning seven decades of ground-breaking creativity, David Hockney 25 highlighted not only Hockney’s iconic early works but also places a special focus on the past 25 years, the early part of the 21st century, which has inspired the event's title. While the world came in the Spring of 2020, Hockney produced over a hundred images on his iPad within just a few weeks. Working digitally lets him capture the essence of each scene quickly and precisely. Much like the Impressionists, Hockney skilfully records changes in light and weather, but uses a vivid, radiant palette. His compositions combine flat areas of bold colour with playful pop-like touches. As the days pass, lockdown lifts, and spring transitions into summer, then autumn and winter. Hockney didn’t stop at painting spring, he captured the whole cycle of the year. The exhibition will include Hockney’s recent works: the celebrated Moon Room which reflects his lifelong interest in the cycle of light and time passing. It will also feature digital paintings from his Sunrise body of work. A Year in Normandy, a ninety-metre-long frieze, inspired by the Bayeaux Tapestry, showing the change of seasons at the artist’s former studio in Normandy, will also feature in the show. David Hockney is interested in how art and technology can come together in new ways. Recommending that people slow down and notice the beauty of the world around them, he believes that simple, everyday beauty, like a sunrise, is worth celebrating. David Hockney (b. 1937 in Bradford, Yorkshire) has been at the forefront of the international art world for more than six decades. He emerged as one of the exceptional talents in the new generation of British artists in the early 1960s. Throughout his extraordinarily prolific career, he remains endlessly inventive and committed to celebrating the world around him. Hockney is fascinated by the language of representation in a variety of forms. He explores the conventions of Chinese and Japanese painting as well as the traditions of European art. He experimented with abstraction; however, he steadfastly remains a figurative artist. Constantly questioning the world around him, he draws and paints from life, from memory, and from imagination. Across his career he has created many bodies of works and numerous individual paintings which are now viewed as iconic. His experimental paintings in the early sixties announced the arrival of a new artistic voice. These were followed by a celebrated series of Hollywood swimming pools where the young Hockney arrived in 1964, documenting the city’s seductive charm and ambience from the position of an outsider. Often poetically titled, works such as A Bigger Splash and Beverly Hills Housewife have become celebrated paintings and part of the modern vernacular. credit photos :A Year in Normandie (detail), 2020-2021, composite iPad painting © David Hockney /David Hockney, London, 2023 © David Hockney Photo Credit: Jean-Pierre Gonçalves de Lima art. art. art. art.

ODE TRAVEL & LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE NATURE Land of Fire & Ice A Natural Wonderland Despite its name, Iceland is surprisingly green in summer. Rolling moss-covered hills stretch between glaciers and black sand beaches. In winter, the landscape transforms into a monochrome dreamscape where snow and ice carve out a surreal silence. Among the island’s many natural wonders, Gullfoss waterfall thunders into a deep canyon, while Geysir—the original namesake of all geysers—still shoots boiling water into the air nearby. The Blue Lagoon, with its milky-blue geothermal waters, has become an iconic stop for relaxation and rejuvenation. Long considered a destination for the adventurous, Iceland has in recent years emerged as one of the world's most sought-after travel experiences.

An excellence “Made In France”. We love his softly strict, deceptively simple yet truly chic pieces. As if animated by a movement of their own, the dresses seem to caress the skin. Everything is combined and superimposed to create an extremely elaborate and singular model. As if the woman was free to tell her own story. Simplicity, intelligence and humility are the hallmarks of this materials enthusiast. A unique vision. Sculptural couture. A second skin. Over time, the collections gain in maturity.
