elite traveler SEPT/OCT 2016 13

Welcome Among the world’s top cities, New York has a fair claim to be one of the best. It buzzes with a restless energy that not many othersmatch. With its range of excellent restaurants and hotels, it is the epitome of a modern city. And it’s no slouch when it comes to style and fashion. For this issue, our fashion team took to the city’s streets to shoot fabulous fall style, drawing on all the inspiration New York offers and using local talent both in front of, and behind, the camera. Beyond its sharp fashion credentials, New York also offers a world of fabulous cultural highlights, boasting some of the world’s great galleries and museums. So it was no surprise it made this issue’s list of the Top 10 cultural cities around the world. As ever, in this issue of Elite Traveler we take you on a luxurious trip around the world, exploring the opulent wonders of Australia’s Whitsunday Islands, the beautiful mysteries and old-world delights of China’s Tea Horse Road and taking a peek behind the scenes of luxury Italian boat maker Riva. We also get an insider’s take on the excitement of Buenos Aires and enjoy an extensive tour of New England. And if you’re feeling lucky, join us in Las Vegas as we offer our guide to the city’s top hotel suites. As always, if there’s a destination you think we should visit, please drop us a line at editorial@elitetraveler.com
