The lower levels of the Lotte World Tower (the 81st floor to be exact) houses some fantastic food options. One belongs to MICHELIN Guide selection STAY, where chef Yannick Alléno marries modern French cuisine with a youthful and vibrant space punctuated by yellow and gold accents.
Inspector notes: "The live Pastry Library is its signature feature that offers a tantalizing assortment of sweets and confections that guests can help themselves to."

Another contemporary Korean fine-dining restaurant, MICHELIN One Star Bicena brings traditional fare with eye-watering views. As the tallest traditional restaurant in the world, be prepared to whip out your phone for the beautiful plates and equally compelling skyline. 
Inspector notes: "Bicena continues to respect the most fundamental details of slow Korean cuisine such as Jang (fermented sauces) and kimchi, the outcome of time and nature doing their work."

Mixing contemporary minimalist interiors with the palace's ornate architecture, guests are welcomed by the flagship restaurant, Condes de Ericeira, the Boémio Cocktail Lounge, and the O Jardim Wine Bar.

PARIS - 4th Night Free at Pavillon Faubourg Saint-Germain
The eclectic-chic vibe behind Pavillon Faubourg Saint-Germain is rooted in its combination of three smaller hotels, each with its unique and distinct identity. Together, they pay homage to their 19th-century origins but redesigned with modern cues. The interiors are equal parts glossy minimalism and ostentatious luxury, with comfortable rooms lined with plush bedding, fine fabrics, and custom bath products by Codage. Les Parisiens, the restaurant, and the James Joyce bar pull double duty as haute boîtes to guests and locals meaning guests are participants, not just spectators.

Although a bit of a walk (sixteen minutes to be precise), we promise Arpège is well worth the trip. With Three MICHELIN Stars and a MICHELIN Green Star, Alain Passard's vegetable-based menu is the happy marriage between Passard's twin vocations of chef and gardener.

Want a taste of authentic French cuisine instead? Head over to Café des Ministères, where chef Jean Sévégnès serves up his signature vol-au-vent, which our Inspectors note as, "to die for" in this neighborhood café-style bistro.

COPENHAGEN - 15% off Hotel Sanders 
Designed by the London-based studio Lind + Almond, this 54-room boutique luxury hotel embraces hygge—the indefinable coziness that’s become a hallmark of Nordic hospitality. Marrying cozy and modernist, contemporary and nostalgic, this 1869 building expertly blends lush comforts with a moody atmosphere and a dash of impeccable style.

The MICHELIN Two Star Kong Hans Kælder continues to wow diners with a charming team and rich flavors rooted in French gastronomy. Raising the bar on the food is the equally elegant setting—a historic cellar which will mesmerize for hours.
Inspector notes: “The chef stamps his own mark on the accomplished, imaginative dishes, with some subtle modernisation and lighter touches.”

While Admiralgade 26 dates back to 1796 and is located in one of the oldest parts of Copenhagen, it's decidedly not old-world. A hybrid wine bar, cafe, and bistro, the appealing, modern menu and relaxed vibe serve as the perfect night out.
Inspector notes: “Owner Christian is always eager to let you taste some of the 4,000 wines from the cellar.”

Three Pete Dye golf courses, facilities for polo, tennis, shooting, and even a soccer academy affiliated with Real Madrid will keep you on your toes and working off any delicious meals.

LONDON - 15% off Chateau Denmark 
It's fitting that Chateau Denmark is situated on London’s Denmark Street in between Soho and Holborn.

This specially produced collaboration between Outernet London, an immersive media and entertainment company, and high-end hospitality veteran Carrie Wicks, allows guests to stay in the very same mews house where the Sex Pistols once lived, around the back side of No. 6 Denmark Street.

London is known for delectable Indian food and the intimate basement bar pahli hill delivers on flavor and fun. The colorful, comfortable restaurant is decorated with striking posters and a menu that is divided into ‘big’ and ‘small’ plates. Featured in our "Best Indian Restaurants In London", this Bib Gourmand will have you licking your fingers and asking for seconds. 
Inspector notes: "Dishes are confidently executed, easy to eat and full of fresh, simple flavours."

For more modern cuisine, visitors should flock to One Star Pollen Street Social. Chef Jason Atherton's Mayfair-adjacent spot sports a smart bar for pre-meal drinks and snacks along with a chef's counter where guests can watch the team prepare their elevated tasting menu. 
Inspector notes: "Top-notch British produce is used in unfussy modern dishes with a classic heart and the occasional playful touch, and strong, punchy flavors shine through. The dishes are often finished at the table with a flourish, while the well-drilled serving team explain their make-up."

15% off The Aster
A bit bohemian and a touch retro, The Aster injects much needed warmth and understated luxury to Los Angeles. With 35 suites, the Aster is as much as a private club as it is a hotel. It's easy to see why with a wellness program that encompasses yoga and Pilates as well as weights and cardio equipment. Coupled with treatments at the Salon and a screening room outfitted with sofa-like seating, you'll never want to step out onto the Los Angeles streets. Our favorite part? The second screen on the rooftop, which also houses the hotel's Lemon Grove restaurant and bar.

Butcher shop by day, glowing dining room by night, Gwen by chef Curtis Stone is a thirteen minute walk from The Aster. Offering humanely raised meats from local partner farms, Gwen is named in honor of Stone's beloved grandmother. Art Deco glamour from top to bottom sets the scene with crystal chandeliers and a roaring fireplace, while upscale cuts à la carte or the multicourse tasting menu satiate diners's souls with style.
Inspector notes: "The menu is concise and stars house-made charcuterie and wood-fire grilled steaks. Watch from the chef's counter as the crew deftly cooks high quality meat, perhaps a Blackmore Wagyu New York strip, to perfection. Save room for dessert, like a round of cheesecake nestled in a mound of graham cracker crumbs and topped with a quenelle of mango lime sorbet."

Another local favorite is Mother Wolf, where chef Evan Funke brings the crowds before opening the doors. Columns wrapped in red tile, olive trees planted across the dining room, and red-and-white patterned upholstery resembling candy canes lend a playful vibe while pasta lovers will be in heaven with so many delectable options. 
Inspector notes: "Thin-crust pies charred in a wood-burning oven and a host of Roman pastas — cacio e pepe, amatriciana, carbonara — form the heart of the menu."
