What makes an icon? It is not merely defined by longevity or recognition, but an innate ability to evolve without losing sight of its core identity. Whether in fashion, design or automobiles, a true icon transcends trends and timelines; it embodies a distilled point of view refined through decades, yet always relevant. The fifth‑generation Range Rover, by British car manufacturer Land Rover is one such example. Fifty‑five years of refinement have resulted in the most articulate expression of the marque’s legacy to date. As the original luxury sports utility vehicle (SUV), Range Rover did not just enter the category—it defined it and remains to this day a benchmark of excellence. Now in its fifth generation, the Range Rover continues to lead with quiet authority. Designed for the aspirational leaders of…

How does it feel to be celebrating Audemars Piguet’s 150th anniversary this year? We’re extremely happy and proud to be celebrating this milestone, as it truly is a celebration of the people working at Audemars Piguet, our partners, friends, and clients. We’re 150 years young; we still feel extremely creative, active and a little bit crazy. And this is what we want to keep alive—this energy and free spirit. I think our founders would be extremely surprised—and proud—to see how the company has evolved and grown to have such an impact on modern watchmaking. Personally, I’m privileged to be part of this adventure, this incredible story. So while 150th is a symbol, it is a very important symbol. What aspects of Audemars Piguet’s legacy do you think are important to…

Behind the glossy screens and viral moments of social media lies a quieter narrative that many might not think about when scrolling through their phones. It’s one that highlights the personal cost of constant visibility and relentless content creation. As content creators rapidly rise to become the norm of how the modern economy operates, conversations are generally centred on ‘how do I become a content creator?’, ‘What’s your social media strategy with content creators?’, ‘Can they deliver the posting in 24 hours?’, ‘How much does it cost?’ and much more. But a question that one rarely asks is, ‘What about the mental health of content creators in this world of relentless social media?’ To explore this, I spoke with mental health expert Gia G Kon, founder of The Inner Lynk…

We meet Kasing Lung in a place formative to his success story: How2work, a design production house in Hong Kong’s Kwun Tong district. Surrounded by display cabinets filled to the brim with figurines of a monster with serrated teeth—one cosplaying as Batman, another furry to the touch, a version decorated with scribbles—the Hong Kong-born artist requests a song by an English rock band before sitting down to reminisce upon the fruits of his creativity. While you may not recognise Lung’s name, it’s almost certain you know his beloved Nordic elf, which boasts more than 300 iterations, with more in the pipeline: Labubu. And in the unlikely event you don’t know her (yes, it’s a she) by name, you’ll recognise her as the season’s hottest fashion accessory. The numbers don’t lie.…

Suvarnabhumi Airport and its runways stretch endlessly before us; colossal airliners sit in a hangar awaiting maintenance as others soar in the distance; roaring engines, massive steel structures and unforgiving heat combine to create a claustrophobic, overbearing atmosphere. And yet, amid the frenzy, Kanawut Traipipattanapong—the Thai superstar better known as Gulf—poses quietly atop a staircase, looking cool and perfectly at ease despite being clad in a black leather coat, while the rest of us desperately wield battery-powered fans. Tatler Travel is at Bangkok’s main international airport to interview the actor and model—and hopefully absorb some of that effortless cool. An airport is the perfect backdrop for our conversation with the star, whose international popularity and busy schedule see him constantly jetting around the world, more often than not with his…

For many, luxury travel often conjures images of excess and indulgence. But at The Datai Langkawi, it takes on a deeper meaning—one rooted not in extravagance, but in stewardship. Tucked within a 10-million-year-old rainforest on Langkawi’s untouched northwest coast, this iconic resort is reshaping the definition of hospitality through The Datai Pledge, a sustainability and conservation initiative that is as ambitious in scope as it is grounded in impact. Now in its fifth year, The Datai Pledge doesn’t just tick the boxes of corporate social responsibility—it rethinks the entire framework. With four core pillars (Fish For The Future, Pure For The Future, Wildlife For The Future, and Youth For The Future), the initiative extends far beyond the resort’s boundaries, embracing marine ecosystems, circular economies, biodiversity, and environmental education for all.…

Tucked between the serene coastlines and cultural charms of Penang’s Tanjung Bungah lies M Social Resort Penang, the latest jewel in Millennium Hotels and Resorts’ contemporary lifestyle collection. More than just a place to stay, M Social is a gateway to experience Penang through a lens of modern luxury, artful design, and heartfelt service. Set across two thoughtfully designed wings, the resort offers 318 rooms and suites that pair cutting-edge technology, including in-room Aiello voice control assistants, sweeping sea views, spacious layouts, and playful pops of colour inspired by Penang’s storied Peranakan heritage. The design nods to George Town’s iconic shophouses, blending geometric patterns and vibrant hues with refined modern comforts. Food is a highlight at M Social, where the signature Beast & Butterflies restaurant serves up authentic Penang flavours…

Just as every heartbroken Gen Z-er joins a running club to sweat out their demons, I decided I needed to run away—temporarily—from Hong Kong after going freelance in May. After years of working a 9-to-5 (or, let’s be honest, an 8-to-8) as a journalist, poised to cover a story at a moment’s notice, my brain needed absolute silence. I craved a reset—something breathtaking, raw, solitary and physically challenging. The answer? A solo trek to Everest Base Camp (EBC). And when I say solo, I mean solo: I would carry my own pack and follow downloaded, offline maps. The pre-trip euphoria carried me through goodbyes and administrative tasks until about a week before my flight, when it faded. Insomnia struck. Despite “only” going to the EBC, the mountain’s repute and staggering…

It’s a funny thing to reminisce about an era you never lived in. And yet, many find themselves romanticising the bygone glamour of travel—where hotel lobbies pulsed with energy, royalty and rock stars rubbed shoulders, dining was a spectacle and timeless, elegant design left one thinking, “ah yes, this must be the place.” Few hotels embody this era quite like Waldorf Astoria New York, which has opened following a meticulous restoration. More than just an opening, it’s the return of an icon, and to bring a property so culturally and historically significant into the now is no easy feat. So Waldorf Astoria, Hilton’s luxury brand of iconic hotels, enlisted some of the best in the business to take on this coveted project. The restoration is led by Skidmore, Owings &…

Travel today is less about ticking off destinations and more about tapping into the different versions of oneself. The business traveller who turns into a barefoot beachgoer. The gastronomy enthusiast who also meditates at dawn. Recognising this fluidity of identity, Accor’s latest campaign, For Every You, leans into the idea that the modern traveller is never just one thing. Building on the momentum of last year’s For ALL The Travellers In You campaign, this year’s iteration continues the brand’s ambition to move beyond category clichés. No longer simply casting guests as business or leisure, the message is more layered: that a single stay can accommodate different moods, impulses and agendas. And with its impressive collection of leading hotel brands—from the prestigious Raffles and Fairmont, to the cosmopolitan Sofitel, Pullman, Novotel…

The rate of change we’re going through as a society is truly unprecedented. Every day we wake up to new innovations, new developments, new famous faces—and in unprecedented times, there are choices to be made. You’ll see people adopt a position of neutrality, looking to ride out the change and see where it goes. Or those who are actively negative, who view the oncoming changes with a darkly pessimistic gaze and are ready to complain about anything. It goes without saying that success is found on the outer edge of innovation, with those who are able to be open-minded and analytical about change, who see opportunity where others see doom and gloom. Our cover star, Steven Bartlett, is the perfect example, a man famous around the world for diving into…

As the premier shopping destination in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, The Exchange TRX is home to some of the finest names in horology today. From June 26 - 27, the mall joined forces with Tatler GMT to bring a vibrant celebration of watchmaking to its stylish, contemporary space. The expansive City Avenue was transformed into a mecca for watch enthusiasts, where seven stunning new watch releases were on display. Bell & Ross showcased the BR-03 Astro, with a time display that mimics the celestial movement of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. Blancpain flexed its skeletonisation prowess with the Villeret Skeleton 8 Days Power Reserve, while Breitling demonstrated precision timekeeping with the Navitimer B19 Chronograph 43 Perpetual Calendar. Longines displayed the Spirit Zulu Time 1925 with a rose gold bezel…

If the future of driving is electric, then Volvo’s EX30 is a compelling signpost pointing the way forward. It is compact yet capable, understated but innovative, and every bit as urban as it is unconventional. I managed to get my hands on the Ultra Twin Performance variant recently for a test drive, and long story short, in true Scandinavian fashion, this is a car that doesn’t shout, it reasons with quiet confidence. Volvo’s smallest SUV to date might be diminutive in stature, but it’s hardly shy when it comes to performance or personality. At just over 4.2 metres long, the EX30 wears its compact proportions well, embracing its city-dweller DNA with a sculpted silhouette that’s part minimalist sculpture, part athletic commuter. The high beltline and subtly flared shoulders lend it…

Chef Sugen Gopal of the wildly successful Malaysian restaurant chains in London—Roti King and Gopal’s Corner—didn’t find success overnight. Instead, his journey tells a tale of trial and error, kindness, and, mainly, perseverance. Roti King and Gopal’s Corner have become an iconic brand for Malaysian food in London, offering a reliable recommendation for both homesick Malaysians and those seeking an introduction to authentic Malaysian cuisine without the need for a flight ticket. With over eight outlets and growing across his brands, the Malaysian staple of roti canai and curry, along with other homegrown classics such as char kway teow, nasi lemak, and mee goreng mamak, has become a staple for many in the city, and a much frequented spot amongst Londoners for a flavourful yet reasonably priced meal. Touted by…

Bell & Ross’ BR-03, the iconic square watch inspired by the cockpit instrument of an aeroplane, marks its 20th anniversary this year. Introduced as the more wearable successor to the oversized BR-01, its debut in 2005 marked a defining moment in horology, a bold departure from the conventional round watches dominating the market with a design that felt both grounded and avant-garde. It became a big hit for its rugged functionality and urban style. Over the past two decades, the BR-03 has endured as a symbol of individuality and versatility, having been reinvented numerous times with a wide spectrum of materials, colourways, and complications. Indeed, the instantly recognisable “circle within a square” shape has come far in bridging the worlds of aviation and watchmaking. But Bell & Ross is not…

Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano, erupted this June 2, sending towering plumes of smoke and ash into the Sicilian sky. Dramatic images of molten rock cascading down its slopes and tourists evacuating quickly captured global headlines. Although Etna is known for its frequent activity, Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology confirmed this was its most powerful eruption since 2014. Just four days earlier, Tatler had traversed those very slopes on a guided trek—likely among the last to do so before the eruption transformed the landscape. The thought that our experience could have played out so differently had we gone just days later is a poignant reflection of life’s unpredictability and the transience that gives certain experiences their resonance. This sense of timing—and the importance of carpe diem—lay at…

Three hundred guests from around the globe gathered at Osaka Expo Hall in late May to witness a convergence of cultures. Barefoot dancers, representing a tapestry of backgrounds, genders and ethnicities, moved in unison while humming a Japanese melody. Despite the language barrier, the performance had an emotional resonance that transcended words, stirring deep emotions and bringing tears to the eyes of many of those present. The performance marked the official opening ceremony of the Women’s Pavilion at Osaka Expo, curated and supported by Cartier. It is the second women-themed exhibition in World Expo history—the first was at Dubai Expo 2020—and it embodies a vision that Cyrille Vigneron, chairman of culture and philanthropy at Cartier, has long believed in and championed through all initiatives: when women thrive, humanity thrives. “The…

KINDLING This stunning restaurant is located inside what was once a private residence built in the 1900s, refurbished by this project led by chef Vallian Gunawan. Seamlessly blending French techniques with Asian ingredients, dishes on the current menu, such as the Crab Custard with uni and crab roe sauce and the Roasted Kinmedai with seaweed beurre, blanc stand out. COSTA Rooted in the flavours of Catalonia, seafood and meats are treated here with finesse by none other than Ryan Theja, previously of Lulu Bistrot. The intimate dining room boasts a seashore and cave-like setting, where guests can bask in the open kitchen concept with live cooking over the grill. Most surprising were Theja’s beautifully balanced desserts, which elegantly blend savoury and sweet elements. SUMA East Asian flavours are at the…

The drive to Splendido, a Belmond hotel, is a cinematic one—you cruise along Portofino’s coastline, dwarfed by the terracotta-hued villas steeped on towering green hillsides. And then, out of nowhere, there it is: the iconic hotel’s pastel façade, fronted by greenery-filled terraces, glowing pink in the Mediterranean sun. When we arrive, the leafy driveway is filled with a fleet of blacked-out Mercedes, porters buzzing around them to organise luggage. In the lobby, well-dressed guests excitedly check in, including a perfectly groomed Pomeranian I notice cooling itself on the black and white Carrara and Lavagna stone flooring. It’s a scorcher of a day—we’re at the peak of Europe’s unprecedented heatwave. Just weeks before our arrival, the hotel hosted the likes of American actor Jeff Goldblum, French model Tina Kunakey and Australian…

He might not have known it at the time, but in 1950, former Olympic water polo player Gérard Blitz was about to disrupt the world of luxury hospitality as people knew it. He did so by launching Club Med, a brand that has shaken up everything about the world of travel, pioneering the idea of the all-inclusive holiday and creating uniquely stylish environments for travellers to relax, explore and be the best versions of themselves. Blitz founded Club Med as an escape from the years of austerity following the Second World War. He created a utopia of canvas tents on the beautiful sands of Alcudia in Majorca, Spain, attracting 2,400 people to enjoy the sun, sea, sand, a range of activities from waterskiing to diving, as well as communal meals…

The hustle and bustle of Tokyo, the temples of Kyoto, the ski slopes of Niseko—the list of Japan’s most popular tourism destinations is a well-rehearsed one. But as a vast, mostly rural, largely mountainous nation with an excellent network of hiking trails, there’s so much more to it than that. Since 1992, Walk Japan has been showing guests from around the world a different side to the Land of the Rising Sun, allowing them to get up close and personal with sights, cultural treasures and communities they might otherwise never experience. Paul Christie, its president for more than two decades, tells Tatler what makes that so rewarding. Tell us about your personal history with Walk Japan. I joined Walk Japan as a tour leader in 1997, five years after the…

DUBAI WHERE TO STAY Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab Luxury hotels open all the time in Dubai, but this new arrival from homegrown hospitality brand Jumeirah is the most exciting right now. Its sleek, superyacht-inspired silhouette promises instant glamour, while the resort’s seaside location offers the perfect soft landing in this always-on city. It manages to combine a relaxed beach vibe with a sense of elegance, and a warm welcome without the slightest hint of snootiness. WHERE TO EAT Arabian Fish House With a menu of Emirati seafood and Levantine favourites, Arabian Fish House makes for a fantastic lunch spot on the water. Try fried hobool fish roe with tahini; hamsat robyan shrimps with potato, tomato, coriander and lemon; and the grilled catch of the day, best served simply, with olive…

Earlier this year, the Hennessy MyWay 2025 Malaysia Championship took place at the Kuala Lumpur Cocktail Week festival village in Sentul Depot. This prestigious cocktail competition is part of Hennessy’s global initiative to champion creativity and sustainability in the drinks industry. Judging the Malaysian finals were an esteemed panel: Moët Hennessy Southeast Asia marketing director Laura Drozdowski Lot, Hennessy global brand education director Julien Pepin Lehalleur, Moët Hennessy Malaysia brand ambassador Chong Wai Keng, Tatler Malaysia and Indonesia dining editor Katelyn Tan, celebrated bartender Peter Chua, as well as The World’s 50 Best Bars (Southeast Asia and Korea) Academy Chair Rachel Tann. “Malaysia was the first stop within the 2025 Hennessy MyWay global competition, and we could sense and feel the country’s rich and multicultural roots as a source of…

For over a century, Rolex has embodied precision, endurance, and the spirit of exploration. Today, that legacy extends far beyond watchmaking into something more urgent and expansive: safeguarding our planet’s future. Through their partnership with National Geographic, Rolex has launched the most ambitious chapter yet of their Perpetual Planet Expeditions, a mission to explore and protect the Earth’s ocean. Launched in 2019, the Perpetual Planet Initiative represents a natural evolution of the brand’s long-standing support for exploration. Where once its partnerships were about conquering mountains and uncharted territories, today’s ambition is no less daring but more urgent: to preserve and protect the fragile ecosystems that sustain life on Earth. From the glaciers of the Hindu Kush-Himalaya to the Amazon River basin, Rolex and National Geographic have systematically brought together science,…

Blessed with a year-round temperate climate, Kunming is often referred to as the City of Eternal Spring. This gentle, cooling weather doesn’t just make it a pleasure to visit—it also nurtures one of China’s most fertile and biodiverse regions for produce. With its rich soils, sunshine, and fresh mountain air, Kunming has gained recognition as a culinary gem, where a variety of ingredients thrive and form the foundation of its vibrant food culture. Here’s why Yunnan’s capital should not be overlooked on your next trip to China. A HAVEN FOR PRODUCE Our trip to Zhuanxin Market, the city’s most vibrant produce bazaar, reveals just how deep the region’s culinary roots run. The bustling market draws from the area’s natural bounty, offering a sensory dive into Yunnan’s rich culinary identity. Yunnan…

The style code that runs through our national fibre is not elitist or expensive. It’s the love of colour, pattern and print, irrespective of cultural background, embracing all occasions. We love the glint of gold in songket, the rambling, meandering storytelling of batik—the immortalisation of our flora, fauna and fables in textile form. It’s a storytelling form we associate most dearly with the many, many forms and shapes of batik that we find up and down and all through Malaysia (and Indonesia), and while many designers have taken on the artform and recast it in new, contemporary ways, batik is still most often seen as a traditional textile, rather than a modern one. But textile storytelling is not confined to just batik—after all, fabric printing has been in existence for…

Of all the reactions we witnessed at the Cartier Women’s Initiative awards ceremony in Osaka, perhaps the most surprising was the sound of sobbing. Videos of people whose lives were touched by this year’s nine awardees, expressing their gratitude and sharing their transformative journeys, stirred profound emotions throughout the room. Founded in 2006, the Cartier Women’s Initiative was set up to support female entrepreneurs who leverage business as a force for good. To date, it has supported 330 women entrepreneurs across 66 countries through mentorship, funding and networking opportunities. The initiative has awarded more than US$12.2 million in grants, built a powerful network of more than 500 community members in nearly 80 countries, and created sustainable social and environmental impact worldwide. This year is a momentous one for the initiative:…

Within an 11-hectare estate tucked away in Taiwan’s Miaoli County lies Pouyuenji Hills, a sanctuary for tea lovers that sets a new precedent when it comes to tea curation and collection across the world. Born with the hope of sharing its founder, Chi-Chien Tsai’s, love for the beverage, it is home to an extensive library of the world’s finest teas, including a selection of over 100,000 Puer tea cakes. The experience-based space offers a journey through interactive galleries as well as tea ceremonies, led by experienced tea masters. During our tasting, we experience the Dong Ding Oolong Tea, crafted using traditional rolling and roasting techniques, which has a roasted rice aroma and floral aftertaste. When it comes to premium teas, the first, second, and third brews each reveal distinctive qualities.…

TAKE-OFF World-class travel calls for a world-class-travel wardrobe. We’re talking comfort, yes—but the kind that’s been scrupulously styled from head to toe. A Jacquemus cap pulled low, Gentle Monster sunglasses to hide red eyes after the red-eye, a Dior travel spray in your carry-on; and don’t forget a mid-flight Biodance collagen mask to ensure you glow your way through immigration. FIRST CLASS Luxury train travel made a serious comeback this year—and with it, the return of dressing for the occasion. Exceptional journeys call for an equally impeccable wardrobe. Think vintage-inspired tailoring that nods to the Gatsby era: a silk Etro scarf worn as a cravat for just the right flourish, and soft Loro Piana loafers paired with a sharply cut Prada suit. MILES OF STYLE This summer, hit the road…

In a city that never truly slows, Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok stands out for knowing when to turn the volume down. Set beside the leafy expanse of Lumpini Park, one of Bangkok’s largest green spaces, the hotel offers a stylish, luxurious, design-forward sanctuary while still in the beating heart of the city’s cosmopolitan Langsuan district—guests can further explore Bangkok with a free shuttle that runs between the hotel and the BTS sky train. The first Kimpton property in Southeast Asia, the hotel brings the brand’s signature blend of creativity, character and intuitive service to Bangkok. Known for its relaxed, boutique spirit in the US, Kimpton’s approach here is refreshingly unpretentious—less about performance, more about presence and meaningful human connection. Across its 360 rooms and suites—including 131 fully serviced residences—the interiors are…

In a city known for its hectic energy, Sindhorn Midtown Hotel Bangkok, Vignette Collection By IHG offers a tranquil, contemporary space for respite—one that’s grounded in Thai culture. The property is the first of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ Vignette Collection in Asia—a luxury lifestyle brand that champions individuality over uniformity and is committed to creating sanctuaries in the heart of popular destinations. Vignette Collection is IHG’s answer to the luxury traveller’s growing desire for stays that are distinctly not cut from the same cloth. While each hotel in the portfolio is wholly unique, they share a commitment to cultural richness, community connection and meaningful moments. At Sindhorn Midtown Hotel Bangkok, this is evident through both design and detail—an elevated yet relaxed atmosphere that reflects modern Bangkok without resorting to clichés.…

The 1990s in Paris were something of a golden age for the arts. It was an era that defined le savoir-faire à la Française for the modern age; some of the decade’s most famous fashion moments were Azzedine Alaïa’s sculpted collections, Jean Paul Gaultier’s tattoo prints and corsets, and the Galliano era at Dior. Parisian high-society soirées pulsed with La French Touch—Daft Punk and Bob Sinclar on the decks, and everyone dancing like they knew it mattered. Meanwhile, French cinema was making its mark abroad, with Isabelle Huppert, Juliette Binoche and Luc Besson at the forefront of a cultural moment when fashion, music and film collided. It was during this pivotal cultural moment that Prosper Assouline and Martine Buchet got married. He ran a creative agency; she headed communications at…

There’s a curious tension in modern travel between doing everything and doing nothing. On the one hand, itineraries swell with curated dining, exclusive access, and immersive experiences. On the other, a quiet corner, a book and a strong flat white might suffice. Somewhere between the two lies a third way: intentional use of time, no matter how limited. It’s this in-between that Conrad Hotels & Resorts reimagines through its signature brand programme—1/3/5. The 1/3/5 programme offers meaningful immersion into the soul of a city or island—beautifully timed at one, three, or five hours. It’s less about “fitting things in” and more about unlocking a place’s essence with curated depth. While the programme is available across Conrad’s global portfolio of city hotels and resort properties, the following three examples—from Pune, Bengaluru…
