A taste of Italy can now be easily found in the U.S. here at the Tuscany Suites Las Vegas. When this luxury Las Vegas resort first made its grand debut in January of 2002, the Tuscany Suites Las Vegas was the talk of the town.

Situated on 27 acres of tropical palm trees, this festive Mediterranean hotel invokes visions of a charming medieval Italian hill town. The terra cotta tiled roofs and open ambiance distinguish the Tuscany Suites Las Vegas from ultra modern hotels on the strip.

However, you can enjoy the romantic old world architectural design and beautifully landscaped passage ways in a location that is only a few blocks from the Las Vegas Strip! The Tuscany Suites Las Vegas allows you to experience the best of both worlds!

As host to Art Basel each December and home to some of the world’s most outstanding Art Deco architecture, Miami has solidified its place as a major player in the art world.

Year-round, The Setai South Beach welcomes art enthusiasts from across the globe who flock to Miami for the sun, nightlife and art scene, encouraging them to look beyond the exhibits and take in the rich designs of the hotel itself.

Adorned with authentic collections and artifacts from Asia, The Setai is a gallery of art in its own right.

Designed to express Asian-American Art Deco Fusion, the “art show” begins with the guest’s first step into the lobby where the floor is constructed of authentic Shanghai bricks dismantled from abandoned buildings in China’s old city and transported to Miami.

The Setai is an Asian inspired oceanfront resort in Miami’s South Beach, adjoined by a 40-story regal residential tower. The concept of The Setai began with two fundamental ideals: a vision of unprecedented luxury and service; and one of the most prized pieces of oceanfront property in South Beach

Throughout the lobby, bar and restaurants, visitors will notice other original relics such as tables made from Beijing palace pavers–still stamped with the name of the paver–and hurricane candle cases from Chiang Mai.

At night these candles are lit for a romantic atmosphere but during the day the candles are replaced with oranges, a symbol of the bridge between The Setai’s Asian influences and those of the Sunshine State.

Art connoisseurs as well as the laymen will also appreciate the expansive bar adorned in a mosaic of hand-picked mother of pearl, a technique traditionally practiced in China, Thailand, and India.

Just beyond the lobby bar lies an outdoor Courtyard, where four statues stand guard representing the Celestial Animals as seen in China’s ancient Forbidden City: the South facing Phoenix represents opportunity, the Tiger faces West representing protection, the Dragon faces East representing good luck, and the North facing Turtle represents stability.

Throughout the hotel, visitors will find a series of 137 paintings on display by Christian de Laubadere. The only display of de Laubadere’s work outside Shanghai, the collection at The Setai is a reflection of the artist’s fascination with women’s sensuality, depicting various women’s heads, necks and backs with intricate hair-styles and tattoos.

Guests will also appreciate The Calligraphy Brush collection by Korean artist Lee June Woong, portraying the ancient art of calligraphy writing and design.

Rooms and suites present guests with an equally eye-pleasing aesthetic through a warm ambiance rich with teak, black granite and fine silk. The impeccable design details of each room are exemplified by authentic jade pieces that were found in antique markets of China and displayed on the teak walls.

In addition to these year-round collections, The Setai will host several private events during Art Basel. (Details available upon request.)

For reservations please call 305.520.6110 or email setaireservations@ghmamericas.com.

Westin St. Francis

San Francisco, California is one of the most beautiful and popular cities in the world.

First, plan your stay at the luxury Westin St. Francis, located in the heart of Union Square in San Francisco. Here, you will have access to shopping, the theater district, restaurants, and museums.

The Westin St. Francis hotel has been touted as the best family hotel in San Francisco.

Las Vegas now has offerings to meet those consumers’ varying tastes, from elite luxury to discount bargains. Sin City has it all for any need.

Here, then, are suggestions for the top spots for visitors wanting to splurge:

Luxe attractions: It may be 10 years old, but Bellagio still can’t be beat for spectacular sightseeing without leaving the property. The fountains out front continue to captivate visitors. Inside, the conservatory offers creative and whimsical floral displays.

Luxe casino: Wynn Las Vegas offers a large yet surprisingly subdued (read: quiet) casino environment. High-rollers regularly enjoy playing the ultra-pricey slot machine, a Double Diamond reel that costs $5,000 a spin. Three Double Diamonds means a jackpot of $2.5 million for the lucky player.

Luxe escape: For those suffering from a sense of been there, done that, there’s the Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas, an oasis 20 miles east of the Strip in suburban Henderson. The hotel is free of gambling, and grown-ups and kids will enjoy boat rides on the man-made lake and “Dive-In Movies” poolside on summer evenings.

Luxe service: With a staff of 24 concierges, the Signature at MGM Grand gets frequent accolades for its superior service. The bridesmaids’ dresses got lost in transit? The staff will quickly rustle up replacements. Want to rent a Lamborghini? No problem — it’ll be out front in 20 minutes.

Luxe shopping: Whether you’re window-shopping or actually spending, Wynn Las Vegas offers an incomparable experience. The Rolex store recently sold its most expensive watch, for $485,000. There’s even a Ferrari/Maserati dealership, with in-stock models starting at just $120,000.

Luxe view: The Four Seasons wins hands-down. This hotel occupies five upper floors of Mandalay Bay. The north-facing rooms’ floor-to-ceiling windows offer breathtaking vistas of the entire Strip, especially after dark.

Contemporary design and high tech amenities combine for a unique Vegas experience at the new Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel!

This full-service property offers a superior location on Paradise Road just one half mile east of Las Vegas Boulevard and adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Fine fabric and wood combine with flat screen televisions and high speed Internet access to bring what was the best of old Las Vegas to the new millennium.

From the moment you step into the lobby of the Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel, you will be taken back to a time lost, but not forgotten. You can almost hear the voices of a Vegas past resonating from the classic restaurant and lounge.

A fitness center, outdoor pool and whirlpool, spa services, twenty thousand square feet of flexible meeting space and seventeen fully ADA compliant rooms are also available. Parking is complimentary for registered guests.

For those who wish to enjoy the area attractions, the world famous Las Vegas Strip is just a short monorail ride away.
