LVMH Plans to Build an Ultra-Premium Hotel on Rodeo Drive
 

115-room hotel on Rodeo Drive

Controlled by LVMH, Cheval Blanc Hotels is planning a 115-room luxury hotel designed by Peter Marino on property it owns at the corner of Rodeo Drive and Little Santa Monica Boulevard. In keeping with Rodeo Drive’s international reputation for over-the-top retail glamour, the Cheval Blanc is intended to be a notch above the competition in Beverly Hills’ high-end hotel market, known for such famous hostelries as the Beverly Hills Hotel and the Beverly Wilshire.

The hotel will feature oversized suites, two swimming pools—one of which is a private penthouse pool—plus a private club. Rather than focusing on banquets or conference facilities, LVMH will capitalize on its nearby network of high-end restaurants, …

The hotel will feature oversized suites, two swimming pools—one of which is a private penthouse pool—plus a private club. Rather than focusing on banquets or conference facilities, LVMH will capitalize on its nearby network of high-end restaurants, spas and retailers to sate guests. Indeed the Louis Vuitton and Dior boutiques just a stone’s throw away on—where else—Rodeo Drive.

The hotel will be designed by star architect Peter Marino, who has previously collaborated with LVMH on projects like the new Louis Vuitton Maisons in London and Seoul. The New York-based designer says the building will have a breathtaking façade of imported French limestone, multi-level landscaping. It will also boast a warm color palette that’s unequivocally SoCal. The challenge for LVMH is that the homes, or multiple homes, of these elite travelers are “spectacular,” Melwani said.

 
Insane Jetpack Soar Above the Dubai Skyline at 250 MPH
 

It can be done!

Just imagine the thoughts running through the minds of those jet pilots flying in formation, watching JetMan and his friend crisscross the sky above them! Yves and his partner flies through the landscapes and cities of the Arabian Peninsula and giving us a better idea of how extraordinary it feels. Jetpacks became a new method of flying, specially flying horizontally.May be soon Mr. Rossy  can train new fly lovers on his new way of flying. That means, training well is a must before you start flying on your own. You can enjoy an incredible video shows two men with jetpacks flying in the air next to airplane.

Yves Rossy ranked into Guinness record books as the first one to sky surf from a hot air balloon and in 2004 Yves Rossy also became the first person to fly horizontally for 4 minutes with a jet-propelled wing. He’s the first one to transform from human to a jet man. In the near future you can see, watch, and learn a lot of new things you never ever  hear about it before. But it will be reality while it was a dream in the past or even it was a regular idea. It’s time to enjoy these new inventions in our life.

 
Why Renting Luxury Cars Makes Sense

Renting a car

While a sporty ride featuring a little extra horsepower might not be the most practical option, it can add a pinch of pizazz to a business trip or boring daily commute. Rather than automatically settling on the rental car that’s most like the car you drive normally, instead you can relish all the bells, whistles and adrenaline rush that luxury rental cars provide. Renting a car is usually considered a chore. A slight inconvenience. Something that’s done out of necessity if your car is in the shop or if you’re traveling. But what if you embraced it as an opportunity to treat yourself to a little extra luxury, and what if we told you it can even be cost effective to do so? Enter: the lesser chosen, more adventurous car rental strategy: renting luxury rental cars.

The Price is Right for Luxury Rental Cars

Depending on the location and your date of your rental, you may find that supply and demand works in your favor. Maybe the rest of the renters require mini-vans because they’re traveling with children. In that case, the rental agency just may have a surplus of luxury rental cars on hand. Our suggestion? Don’t rule out a fancier car just because you think it might be cost prohibitive. It never hurts to ask about and compare options. You may be surprised to find that a luxury vehicle is within just a few dollars a day of what you were planning to rent. (Likewise, there may be times when luxury rental cars is in demand — perhaps there’s a nearby ball or black tie event — and instead of driving away in the BMW like you planned, you’re in a hatchback.

A Luxury Rental Car Fits the Trip

If you’ve ever island-hopped along Route 1 from Miami to Key West — cruising through Islamorada and over the seven-mile bridge — then you know that the journey is at least as good as the trip. And you need a car that matches the spectacular views, perhaps even a convertible to appropriately soak in the experience. The same could be said for rolling down the Vegas Strip, or visiting vineyards in Napa Valley. If you’re flying first class and staying in the corner suite, you may need to complete the trifecta with a luxury rental car that will turn heads and draw eyes.

you Can Pick from Popular Makes and Models

Here is the key to being able to use our Rental Car Damage Protector to provide peace of mind for luxury rental cars: picking a vehicle that’s valued at less than $40,000. You’ll find that while this won’t include exotic vehicles available at niche rental agencies, there is a big sweet spot of popular, luxury makes and models available at larger rental car companies including Enterprise and Alamo. These include the 2019 BMW X3 sDrive30i (Fair Market Price: $38,219), which is known for superior handling and sneaky good fuel efficiency.2, 3 Then there’s the 2018 Audi A3 Premium Sedan 4D (Fair Market Value: $31,437), which boasts both sporty handling and a relaxing ride.2 Plus, the turbocharged engine powers acceleration more typical of a sportscar.4 What better car for cruising out of Las Vegas on Highway 93’s flat, straight pavement? Whether or not driving a fancy car is part of your daily life or something you do when in Rome (or Vegas), luxury rental cars can elevate the ho-hum task of getting from here to there to something a lot more memorable. 

Luxury Yachts: Rossinavi - "Good Things Come in 3's"

Rossinavi will Launch 3 Stunning New Superyachts in 2020

Rossinavi wants to make it Year of the Superyacht. The Italian shipyard just announced it will launch three stunning new vessels, all spanning more than 100 feet, by the end of 2020. Allow us to introduce you to LeL, Florentia 52 and Vector 50.

Florentia 52

This 170-foot beauty is the result of a collaboration between Rossinavi and Studio Vafiadis. Featuring a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, she boasts sinuous exterior lines and a classic profile. Florentia 52 is fitted with twin Cat 3512E motors that can churn out between 1207 and 1750 hp each, which gives her a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 13.5 knots. Plus, she can cover around 5,000 nautical miles—that’s Los Angeles to London. Commissioned by a private client, Florentia boasts exceptional outdoor areas where one can retreat and relax onboard.

Vector 50

This 160-foot superyacht brings the sculptural style of your favorite supercar to the sea. Inspired by the aerodynamic beauty of a sports coupé, Enrico Gobbi’s Team for Design created a high-performance superyacht replete with long continuous glass …

This 160-foot superyacht brings the sculptural style of your favorite supercar to the sea. Inspired by the aerodynamic beauty of a sports coupé, Enrico Gobbi’s Team for Design created a high-performance superyacht replete with long continuous glass surfaces and sleek lines. She runs like a race car, too. Powered by twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, Vector 50 can deliver a top speed of 19 knots and can cover 3,600 nautical miles when cruising at 11 knots. Onboard, the yacht features a spacious interior, including expansive VIP cabins with ensuites, plus a full-beam master suite that has its own private terrace on the starboard side.

LeL (FR038)

After a two-year construction period, this sleek 164-foot motor yacht has finally hit the water. With exteriors and interiors penned by acclaimed Florence-based architecture studio Luca Dini, LeL (FR038) showcases a dynamic silhouette and sporty lines that are reminiscent of traditional Italian yachts. Or, as the yard says, “LeL is a celebration of fluid forms.” Commissioned by a private client who wanted to pack the vessel with as many spacious living areas as possible, LeL boasts generous gross tonnage and has been built for entertaining (you should see the beach club). But thanks to her aluminum superstructure, she is rather lightweight for her size. Packed with two MTU 12V 4000 M93L engines (with a total of 3,470 hp), LeL can cut through the seas at an impressive top speed of 23 knots or cruise at 19 knots, and has a range of 4,000 nautical miles.
