Swiss ritzy hotelier takes Jerusalem’s ‘American Colony’ to the very top

Inside the walls of its historic Old City, Jerusalem becomes sacred. This is the cradle of civilization, holy for all Abrahamic religions. Jerusalem has a profound religious significance to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is one of the oldest cities in the world and traveling here is a must. Jews will pray at the western wall, the last remains of the second Jewish temple, destroyed by the Romans. Christians see the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in the Christian Quarter, to be the holiest site in the world. Muslims believe that prophet Mohammed was carried from Mecca to Jerusalem. The Al-Aqsa gray dome Mosque is the 3rd most important site for muslims.

Art, Design, Luxury Hotels: Exploring Asia With Designer Bill Bensley

Anyone who has stayed in an exuberantly designed hotel in Asia has most likely experienced the designs of Bill Bensley: the Bangkok-based designer is the creative force behind The Siam Hotel Bangkok; Rosewood Luang Prabang, Shinta Mani Angkor and Capella Hanoi among others. Apart from his hotel designs, though, Bensley is also an artist and philanthropist and those three interests combine in the first Bensley Art Trail, a 12 day tour for those interested in art, design, luxury and conservation from November 28th-December 10th. Bensley will lead it, taking 12 guests behind the scenes of several of those hotels as well as his home, with itinerary details constructed by the Bangkok based luxury, bespoke travel company Smiling Albino. Proceeds will go to the Shinta Mani Foundation which is based in Cambodia to fund 32 scholarships for students of the Shinta Mani Foundation Hospitality School, Class of 2024.

Some look to offer jet-setters a cost-efficient, comfortable option in notoriously pricey destinations, while others look to create a unique accommodation experience that couldn’t be found elsewhere. Below, AD visits five micro hotels that offer some of the smallest hotel rooms in the world available for booking.
