DestinAsian - October - November 2023

この号では

What does autumn mean to you? Admittedly, we don’t have four distinct seasons here in tropical Southeast Asia, but thinking back to my college years in the Amer-ican Midwest, I fondly recall the crisp blue skies, the vibrant reds and yellows of the fall foliage, and a slew of outdoor festivals that take advantage of the mild weather. No matter which side of the equator you live on, autumn will always be closely associated with the harvest, and DestinAsian’s latest Luxe List spotlights a crop of notable new hotels that have opened across the Asia-Pacific region in the past year. From a candy-colored boutique retreat in Rajasthan—as shown on the cover—and a leafy beachside resort on the Gulf of Thailand, to stylish high-rise digs in Tokyo and Australia’s Gold Coast, the 2023 lineup shows off the kaleidoscopic diversity of the luxury hospitality scene in this part of the world. There’s much more to discover elsewhere in the magazine. With their toddler and two teenagers in tow, Claire Knox and her Cambodian husband make a much-awaited return to Siem Reap, where the family takes stock of the city’s attractions, revisit beloved old haunts that hold special memories for them, and reconnect with loved ones after a pandemic-induced separation.
