I spent quite a bit of time poking around. I know that at least in one area, they had lots of Russian guests whom I think would be in short supply this year. I found offers thru Sept but not subsequently. My trip is in December so I'll take a look again this fall.

I find these lists hilarious. For this one specifically, a highlight is seeing The Pickering House in Wolfeboro, NH listed as the 4th best hotel in the world. I went to school in Wolfeboro, so this was truly hilarious. Amanpuri comes in ranked 57th, so they do know the Aman chain exists at least! I know these lists do not have any merit, I just thought this was funny. I’d love to see a Luxury Hotel Forum Top 100 Hotels/Resorts worldwide.

Oh dear. The Lowell isn't even the best hotel on UES.

That one also had a large window overlooking a nice part of Tokyo.

A change in travel plans had me flying BOS Logan/SFO yesterday on JetBlue in Mint (their first class). I rather liked it. Way better than biz on United’s 737 …

Here’s one luxury list that may not immediately, at least, be torn to shreds:
