Hello all—
Here in D.C., the cars are coated in a green dust signifying our entry into spring allergy season. A high price to pay, if you ask me, for warmer weather. This past weekend I was in Paris at one of its coolest hotels, the SO/, which has some of the city’s most insane views. My room looked out on the Seine and the city’s most expensive home, the Hotel Lambert. I also took one of the coolest day trips I’ve ever taken from the French capital, and look forward to sharing that with you soon..
This week, our lead feature comes from the iconic Lake Atitlán in Guatemala. For Room Key, our column on exciting new hotels, Isabella Rolz stayed at Anzan Atitlán, a Luis Barragan-inspired oasis in pink on the lakeshore.
For the road trip enthusiasts who also consider themselves movie buffs, Johnny Motley has compiled an incredible guide to a rock ‘n’ roll road trip across the South. I’d never heard of a lot of these venues, nor the music history that happened in some of these spots. Best of all, much is still preserved and plenty of great music is still being made and played!
On a final note, you may or may not notice that every week towards the bottom of the newsletter we highlight a travel-related coffee table book we really love and think you should check out. But this week, I also wanted to alert readers to one that I mentioned in my It’s Still a Big World feature about Kansas City. It’s Michael C. Kathrens’ Kansas City Houses: 1885-1938, and had long been hard to find but recently went into reprint so it’s available again. Enjoy!
P.S. The first major blow has been struck against the tyranny of travel-size liquid containers as London City airport has removed the limits!
Enjoy!
