Premiata’s Lessons of Styleby Stefano Guerrini

Graziano Mazza, creative director of PREMIATA, has reserved unique, special interiors for his clients, modern luxury globetrotters. Milan is the location chosen, where the brand’s philosophy will have freedom of expression. A space thought up as a collection, in perfect harmony with the brand and where tradition and cutting-edge details link perfectly. Via Della Spiga 1 is the address in the heart of Milan’s fashion shopping zone, selected as the perfect frame for an international brand like PREMIATA.

The opening in Milan last September, will be followed by openings in the capital cities dear to Graziano Mazza - Paris and Tokyo. The boutique is the place to discover all the PREMIATA collections, alongside the famous shoes there will be space for the new PREMIATA men’s wardrobe, in which past and future, tradition and avant-gard come together and adjust the proportion of the contemporary male figure, for clothes reserved to a sophisticated and eclectic man who had not yet abandoned his wish to dress well and look cool in the third millennium!

It is very hard for a chef to write about another chef but executive chef TONY ROMANO is something else: one of a kind very creative chefs that checks every table himself if the customers are happy with his food. Impeccable service, great staff, and a great wine collection on top of an amazing menu. The selected wine collection is from Cass Weineries south of the border collection and also wines from Chili and Argentine. The Hess Select Wines includes chardonnay and mountain cuvee The Bridalwood Wines includes syrah louis martini and Cabernet Sauvignon also a great selection of beers. A glass of wine is about $8-15. Once a month the restaurant organizes Wine Makers Dinner where food is paired with wine tasting, a real delight.

On saturdays and sundays there is brunch and when weather is the patio is just great to seat. Manger Austin Corbet and Mr. Tommy Levasseur who is part owner are giving a great service to the guests. The Menu again is very rich and I tasted almost everything on the Menu and each dish is a world for itself. I really liked the lamb dish and the fish tacos and there is a good variety of fish. Great selection of salads and hors devuars every afternoon for the early bird hour. Starters are about $12, salads from $7 to $17, sandwiches $10 to $15 and main courses from $15 to $20.

There is Valet Parking for $3.5 and also a public parking half a block east of the restaurant (or public parking on the street). Most of the Major Credit Cards are excepted. I predict that this restaurant is going to be very soon the hottest place in town it has anything one can wish. Catering also available.

The Rockwell

For those who travel to London regularly, perhaps for work, and find the bland, corporate anonymity of large chain hotels leave them cold, the answer could be at The Rockwell, London's newest boutique hotel. As an independently owned and operated 40-bedroom hotel, the emphasis is on personal service and comfort with the aim of providing a home-from-home experience.

Housed in a beautifully restored Victorian terrace, the independently owned hotel exudes traditional London style, with contemporary interiors reflecting the best of the design-conscious capital. The building retains an air of understated Georgian elegance with 40 individually-decorated bedrooms and elegant yet comfortable public spaces.

Urban Resort / Project Fox

Room 206: Ecstasy

Marketing is everywhere but we always love to point out the original concepts like this campaign by Volkswagen. For the launch of it's new car they have redecorated a hotel in Copenhagen by 30 renowned designers and graphic artists. There are 61 amazing rooms... You choose. // Project Fox

Room 309: Clubs - The Secret Place

The goal of the Hotel FOX was to create a hotel for the „young urban traveler“. A hotel – a meeting point for people with various backgrounds anyway – was the perfect ‚playground’ for the project. The owners of the hotel formerly known as Park Hotel in downtown Copenhagen made newly renovated white rooms available, creating space for the unusual concepts of the artists.

The Restaurant

4 Projects Miami

For all of you that loved the Santiago Calatrava's plans for the cube building in New York, you are going to love 4 Projects Miami, a collection of four new unique developments including Casa, Canvas and Cor. My favorite one is CASA - "a distinctive statement about design, architecture and lifestyle.

Envy // One Of The Seven Deadly Sins...Amsterdam

Imagine the place where instead of eating you are actually experiencing food; where people come to surprise all their senses, where you can have good time. That's the kind of restaurant we had a dinner at last night, in Amsterdam. Crowded and classy, with an open kitchen, excelent service and friendly customers ...

We love the "nouvelle cuisine" approach of the chef Rence Van De Weekd, from taste to presentation. What is more, staff can even tell interesting stories with background information about the products being served.

This "Delicatessen Bar" is centrally located in Amsterdam at Prinsengracht 381. You can check out their internet site here: ENVY.
