The post Glass presents the Best Dressed at the 2025 Golden Globes first appeared on The Glass Magazine.

Designed by Belgian architect Jean-Michel Gathy and his firm Denniston, the immaculate 299-room establishment has won applause globally for its fresh take on luxury, reaching third spot in The World’s 50 Best Hotels List 2023. 

_Pool

Enveloped in a constant dialogue between Thai-design and world-class hospitality, the Four Seasons Bangkok balances sprawling courtyards full of amazing water features with an interior that boasts an art-fuelled lobby curated in partnership with MOCA Bangkok, herringbone patterned walls and bathrooms boasting Apaiser stone baths. 

_{Palmier by Guillaume Galliot}

When it comes to culinary prowess, Bangkok is fuelled by its multicultural offerings and the Four Seasons Bangkok offers some of the best. Yu Ting Yuan, its signature Cantonese restaurant by chef Tommy Cheung, has already earned a Michelin-star and promises to be a treat for the tastebuds.

From perfecting roasted meats to crafting intricate dim-sum, it’s pure joy from start to finish. For those after a taste of Europe, Riva del Fiume ushers you to Italian shores with its rustic menu, while Palmier by Guillaume Galliot serves French brasserie-style classics. 

_{BKK Social Club}

But it’s BKK Social Club that has everyone talking. Again considered one of the finest in the world (with a plethora of awards accordingly) and inspired by the nightlife of Buenos Aires, this bar has taken a slice of South American charm to create an environment of sultry glamour centred by a truly experimental cocktail menu.  

_{Executive Suite}

Being able to offer guests a type of peace and quiet rare for Bangkok while maintaining an exceptional level of service, makes this hotel more than worthy of all its accolades.

The post Glass stays in an urban oasis at the Four Seasons Bangkok first appeared on The Glass Magazine.

According to legend, the monastery was founded in the eighth century by Padmasambhava, the “Second Buddha”, who flew to this site on the back of a tigress and meditated here for three years, three months, three weeks, three days and three hours.  

This hike was the culmination of our Bhutanese adventure, having landed at Paro Airport a week earlier, with our plane banking left and right between the surrounding 18,000-foot peaks of Mount Jumolhari. Our pilot is one of only 24 in the world trained to land here.

_{Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten | Photography bay Marcus Westberg}

We have come to explore the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, nestled between China and India, with a population of only 750,000 living in the valleys of a country that is 99 per cent mountainous. Buddhism, the official state religion, permeates every aspect of the Bhutanese lifestyle, culture and even attire, with men wearing the traditional Bhutanese gho and women wearing the kira.

Bhutan has undergone a remarkable transformation over the last 15 years, evolving from an absolute to a democratic monarchy, with the government monitoring the country’s prosperity through its “Gross National Happiness” index. The so-called GNH tracks the population’s mental well-being, education, cultural diversity, community spirit, sustainability and living standards. 

_{Tiger’s Nest Monastery | Photography bay Marcus Westberg}

On our one-hour drive from the airport to the capital, Thimphu, our guide explains the reason for the mandatory accompaniment of all international tourists. It’s to ensure reverence for Bhutanese religious sites, to show respect for national traditions and to protect the environment.

We check in at Pemako Thimphu, a striking hotel enveloped by the vista of the surrounding mountains. Its exterior features a traditional Bhutanese façade with whitewashed walls, intricate wooden cornices and lotus-shaped window frames. The resident Buddhist monk blesses us with a welcoming ceremony, tying a red thread around our wrists, symbolising good luck and prosperity, which we proudly wear for the duration of our trip.

_{Punakha Dzong | Photography bay Marcus Westberg}

We are perfectly located to explore this quaint city and viewing its distinctive architecture, with each building adorned with ornate colourful designs and religious symbols. We later discover that the Bhutanese style of architecture extends to all the country’s monuments, dzongs, temples and monasteries.

Thimphu is the place to purchase textiles and handicrafts, to indulge in Bhutanese cuisine and to mingle with the locals. We admire the theatrical moves of the white gloved traffic policeman in an impeccable uniform, standing in his signal box directing traffic at the city’s only roundabout. Intriguingly, there are no traffic lights anywhere in Bhutan.

_{Pemako Thimphu Lobby and Restaurant}

A two-hour drive eastward across never-ending undulating valleys and verdant mountain peaks takes us to Punakha, the ancient capital city. We are staying at Como Uma Punakha, where our balcony overlooks the breadth of the riverine Punakha Valley. In the morning, we follow a trail to hike up to Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten, a modern monastery built in 2004 to ward off evil spirits and bring peace and harmony to all living things. Afterwards, we take a river raft to Punakha Dzong, a fortress monastery and one of Bhutan’s most revered sites.

After our descent from Tiger’s Nest near Paro, we head to our hotel, Amankora Paro, and its sultry Aman spa with its specially blended Aman amenities. We luxuriate in a traditional steamy hot stone bath, infused with rosemary, to ease our weary muscles. This pristine lodge, with its minimal aesthetic and incomparable service, offers unrestricted mealtimes serving Michelin-star worthy dishes, a help-yourself bar, daily cultural activities and a same-day laundry service.

We came to explore what makes this tiny Kingdom of Bhutan the happiest place on earth. We depart feeling privileged to have experienced the uniqueness of Bhutan’s traditional lifestyle and the sense the excitement for the King of Bhutan’s plan for the economic development of Gelephu in the more accessible south of the country, which will enable many more tourists to experience this happy Himalayan Kingdom in the near future.

The post Glass visits the happy Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan first appeared on The Glass Magazine.

As in: ’Cool’, a blanket term covering all sensory interpretations, each, ultimately, justifying the other. A look, a sensation, a mood – as one. A man enters a crammed subway carriage in midsummer wearing in a wool, $900 Tom Ford suit. He looks cool, initially, but as beads of sweat pool on his brow, patches appear under his pits, and a screaming baby sicks on his lapel, his coolness ebbs away in a flash. Casa Cook el Gouna on the other hand…

_{Casa Cook El Gouna}

For one there are no babies – this is an adults only resort. Visually Casa Cook straddles that odd intersection of ancient and space age – linear, minimalist, earthy – drawn up, the design team explains, with “the post-modern traveller in mind”.

Think if Frank Herbert’s Dune featured an Aristocratic, gridded suburb – each private terrace boxed off by hedges every bit as angular as the structures they surround. Muted, heat proof, stone has been carved into benches, and formed into hotel room floors and walls, all delightfully cool to the touch – necessary when summer temperatures reach up to 50 degrees.

Plunge pools are plentiful. Grilled jumbo prawns are piled high. Signature cocktails (the Watermelon Negroni and the African G&T – hibiscus leaves for regional specificity) hit the spot. All in all, cool.

_{Outdoor seating at Casa Cook El Gouna}

_{Southern pool area at Casa Cook El Gouna}

If you can peel yourself away from one of the southern pools innumerable loungers, Casa Cook offers Kite Surfing lessons on their private stretch of beach. For those seeking a change of scene, the town of El Gouna is a 10 minute drive away. El Gouna’s a New Town, and, having been raised on a less than appealing English New Town diet of Welwyn Garden City and Milton Keynes, I had my reservations.

But having been told, then sworn to secrecy, then told another seven or eight times, that Angelina Jolie and Mohammed Salah own holiday homes in El Gouna, I thought, ‘if it’s good enough for them, it’s probably good enough for me.’

_Kiteboarding

So, the raw statistics: Age? 35 years. Tuktuks? £1 per trip. Dominant architectural style? Nubian traditional (traditional for locals, practically Tattoine to an ignorant westerner like myself). Lagoons? Well of course! 27, soon to be 28. Perhaps not all New Towns are created equal.

_{Desert tour with Orascom}

It was on my lagoon boat tour that my guide pointed me in the direction of lagoon number 28, mid construction and surrounded by tractors. Maybe I’m old fashioned but I felt, pretty steadfastly, that ‘Lagoon’ and ‘Tractor’ should not share space. Physical space, page space, any kind of space, so antithetical are they in all they stand for.

_{Patio area at Casa Cook El Gouna}

After all is there any word so evocative of natural wonder, of organically occurring, god bestowed heaven on earth as, ‘lagoon’? With that in mind, the invitation to observe lagoon 28 felt akin to a Vegas magician un-vivisecting his long legged assistant in plain view, proclaiming “and THIS is how we did it.”

I averted my eyes. Then remembered I am a 31 year old man. Maturing, after all, is realising that true delusion is believing in the make believe of Hollywood fantasy. Mermaid princesses with Jamaican fish companions? Webbed, damsel snatching, bi-pedal creatures? Not in El Gouna. And frankly, when the illusion of the artificial lagoon is this good, who cares it’s an illusion at all?

_{Plunge pool at Casa Cook El Gouna}

_{Room at Casa Cook El Gouna}

A brief off road drive takes you to a vast stretch of desert, once underwater, that now ranks as the world’s third longest natural valley. It’s traversable by quad bike, with tours culminating with tea in a Bedouin settlement at sunset. Equally accessible from Casa Cook is a yacht dotted bay leading into the Red Sea, home to an abundance of dolphin pods and coral reefs. Boats leave daily.

_{The Maybourne Beverly Hills exterior}

I am warmly welcomed by the landmark property’s soothing pastel palettes, spanning nine floors with sun filled balconies, overlooking verdant gardens dotted with swaying palm trees and fragrant foliage. Being perfectly placed just steps from the legendary Rodeo Drive, known as one of the most exclusive luxury destinations, it’s no wonder the property radiates the same vibe.

_{The Maybourne Cafe}

Despite being in the hustle and bustle of the city, The Maybourne proves to be a superior space to unwind. Comfort is a hallmark of the property which means that the spa takes centre stage, home to the mineral pool, steam rooms and countless relaxation areas. The quiet cocoon also offers treatments to pamper, regenerate or simply to indulge in some much needed ‘me time’, utilising only the purest ingredients including products from EviDenS de Beauté.

_{Rooftop pool}

The most impressive is the rooftop pool. The panoramic views of the rolling hills of Hollywood can be enjoyed from your chaise lounge, while sipping on aperitivo-style cocktails from the beloved restaurant and bar, Dante Beverly Hills. 

_{Cigar Whiskey bar}

Nestled in the lobby of the hotel you’ll find The Maybourne Bar. The bar boasts an exceptional wine list and a cocktail menu filled with classic and new creations, all handcrafted by our bartenders with the freshest ingredients and finest spirits. Vibrant and unforgettable, I would argue this hidden jewel of the property is the best bar in LA.

_{Terrace Suite}

Guestrooms and suites here at The Maybourne have been artfully designed to have bright, spacious interiors and bespoke furniture. My suite features homely touches to ensure a restful stay, details from curated library collections to the plushest slippers elevates relaxation. Early morning wake up’s are worth it here, with views of the sunrise lighting up the Los Angeles skyline – a sight I would never get tired of.

Positioned within the muted tones of a bustling city backdrop, she inhabits concealed corners and overlooked alcoves, spaces quietly charged, steeped in time, and tucked away from the city’s main thoroughfares. The tension between her poised stillness and the city’s unceasing rhythm. Several moments are captured in time and a fragment of a larger, elusive story.

The post Glass Luxury Fashion Gift Guide for Her 2024 first appeared on The Glass Magazine.

But one duo who are putting their own spin on it are electronic-urban provocateurs Bro Berri – composed of Stefano and Enrico Berretti – with a repertoire that’s soulfully potent and lyrically relevant in equal measure. Sloppy synths merged with reverberating and punchy basslines pushing the tempo are at the core of their pieces, raising hairs everywhere. But there’s more to the story. 

_{Photograph: Cosimo Buccolieri}

Stefano and Enrico—born respectively in 1994 and 1997—know a thing or two about navigating the complexities of a narrow system hailing from Gaeta, living the first part of their lives in Sardinia and then moving on to Civitavecchia, close to the harbour. Enrico (the youngest) began his foray into the scene aged 16, while Stefano was practising rowing, which to him felt like “Cambridge, Oxford stuff.” Enrico was practising athletics back in the day, making music in his free time. 

After the first year which saw both of them working modest jobs, Stefano graduated and began working in Rome as a model, moving to Milan and later to Shanghai. “I was listening to a lot of music while exploring the nightlife abroad,” says Stefano, explaining how from that, “I started to chat a lot more about building a music project with my brother”.  

_{Photograph: Cosimo Buccolieri}

The influence from overseas enlightened Stefano with a sense of cross-pollination and further experimentation. “Merging influences I had in China while using a distinct sound was the beginning of what Bro Berri is today,” he concurs. “Bro Berri is a collaboration, an exchange of ideas, and it’s about making music with different influences from all over.”

Once the first period in Shanghai went well, Stefano returned to Milan and embarked on a trip to New York while actively communicating with the brother. “After many travels, it was supernatural to establish something together,” opines Stefano. “We began studying legendary duos such as Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, or DVBBS in Los Angeles: we were attracted by the duo as so many of them were brothers, but a few are actually blood-related.”

When speaking on influences, both claim, “that most of the time is about our soul, so everything we write, we aim to someone who lived the same situation we had – motivating them through our music.” 

While growing up, the duo changed houses multiple times because of their father’s job, as he’s in the military. “What we write about is that if you really believe in something, that can happen,” they say. This is why, for them, the most important thing is believing in oneself, “because we come from a really humble background.” 

_{Photograph: Cosimo Buccolieri}

_{Photograph: Cosimo Buccolieri}

The first live show they did was in Bangkok, for just over 50 bucks. “Everything I earned from modelling was poured into music,” notes Stefano, “because we wanted to finance a dream we hoped would be big one day.”

Given the huge complexities of the system, I cannot help but wonder what made them stick around and have the gumption to push through all the obstacles. “It’s the final picture we have,” freely admits Stefano. “We have a final picture in our mind that’s there from day zero, and I see it as a painting we have in the making. Firstly, you have to get the pencils and colours to then witness the final outcome.”

_{Photograph: Cosimo Buccolieri}

_{Photograph: Cosimo Buccolieri}

Their relentless spirit is reflected in one of their latest tracks, Siamo Nel Back (We’re at the back), which epitomises a sheer portrayal of the duo’s life and the pitfalls part of a system they’ve fought so hard to dive into. “Maybe it’s the first raw storytelling about us: a raw biography about the project, where someone can understand where we come from and where we’re going, through harmonies and lyrics,” says Enrico, detailing how one can, “understand the struggle and the happy moments, as we talked about how it was in the start and what we think today.”

“We had a lot of dreams, passions and delusional moments,” continues Stefano. “However, we’re still in this together trying to make it and struggling in the process. It’s a song that could be motivational for a lot of people, no matter what field.”

What is, then, their vision for the future? “Essentially, after productions and our discography project, there’s a collective called BB SQVAD, which is our movement,” they note. “The project comprises our friends, artists, inspiring personalities and all those who believe in the power of music. So what we see through this is a new format which will hopefully take us to different places in Italy and worldwide.”

With their hands firmly back on the steering wheel and with big hopes, the duo is keen to explore their next act. “The different thing about Bro Berri’s music practice is that we have to make people understand our vision, which mixes Hip-hop and electronic,” they note, as we draw our conversation to a close. “If we make this work, it’ll be a huge feat for us, and an expressive vehicle of all we’ve lived through these years”.
