Plus: A Wes Anderson-Worthy Hotel |
This Prague Hotel Is So Wes Anderson
Fittingly, for a hotel where Franz Kafka delivered one of his first public readings, the W Prague has undergone a dramatic metamorphosis. Built in Wenceslas Square in 1872 and redesigned in 1889 as the Art Nouveau Grand Hotel Europa, the property looks like it could be straight out of a Wes Anderson movie. (It even has its own entry on the website Accidentally West Anderson.) Last year, the hotel was transformed again and reopened as the W Prague without losing any of its Wes-sence. With 161 rooms and suites, the hotel features multiple restaurants (including a rooftop bar) and a spa. |

The World’s Largest Sailing Yacht To Launch In 2026
When the Orient Express Corinthian makes its maiden voyage next fall, the world’s largest sailing yacht may have more in common with a luxury train than a sailboat. That’s because, as its name implies, the 722-foot-long vessel is the brainchild of Accor, which also operates several trains under the famed Orient Express brand. When completed, the Orient Express Corinthian will have 54 suites, eight bars, a Parisian-themed cabaret, and five restaurants that will be overseen by Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno. And, yes, one of those suites will be named for Agatha Christie. |
