There's a new Italian café in Abu Dhabi and it's impossibly chic
There's a new reason to visit Saadiyat Island (as if we needed one) and it smells like espresso and tastes like la dolce vita. Café Ginori has officially opened at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi, and it's nothing short of a love letter to Italian elegance, fine craftsmanship and timeless style. This isn't your average café. As soon as you step into Café Ginori, you can expect to enjoy a fully immersive experience that pays tribute to the incredible heritage of Ginori 1735 porcelain (yes, that's almost 300 years of history), housed within one of Abu Dhabi's most iconic luxury resorts. Designed with flair and a dash of whimsy, the space is decked out with bold elements from Ginori's Domus home décor line. We're talking vibrant Oriente Italiano wallpaper, plush bespoke cushions, and beautiful custom-designed seating. It's a visual feast even before the food arrives so make sure you come ready to take some snaps. Speaking of food, the menu is a standout. Curated by the café's so-called 'Master of Plating' (yes, really), it's a modern ode to Italian classics. Expect artisanal pastries, vibrant antipasti, and really good espresso. Each dish is as beautiful as it is delicious, so prepare to be fed and wowed. Whether you're popping in for a quick cappuccino or lingering over a long, luxurious brunch, this spot is all about capturing the spirit of allegria – that uniquely Italian joy of life, flavour and design. So next time you find yourself on Saadiyat Island, make a detour to Café Ginori. It's where Mediterranean café culture meets St. Regis glamour – with a generous swirl of porcelain charm. If you need a refresher on The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, this a 5-star hotel on the shores of Saadiyat Island with 376 guest rooms. The resort offers three outdoor pools and a 25-meter indoor lap pool at The St. Regis Athletic Club.

East Hampton's LDV at the Maidstone hotel debuts luxe brand partnerships
Last summer, the 150-year-old Maidstone Hotel, located on Main Street in East Hampton, reopened its doors under the leadership of LDV Hospitality, the group behind NYC's Scarpetta restaurant and famed for its Italian luxury. The hotel, since renamed LDV at the Maidstone, introduced a daily aperitivo hour in the garden and rebooted the elegant restaurant to serve scrumptious Italian pastas. This summer, the Maidstone is bringing even more European elegance to East Hampton courtesy of new partnerships with Sézane, the French fashion brand, and Ginori 1735, a luxury Italian dinnerware company. 3 LDV at the Maidstone hotel will host a Sézane fashion pop-up in its back garden this summer. Letizia Cigliutti 'We want to bring this La Dolce Vita lifestyle to the Hamptons,' John Meadow, the founder and president of LDV Hospitality, tells Alexa. Sézane is setting up a pop-up shop in the hotel's back garden, behind the hedges, from June 20 to July 27. Visitors will be able to order a spritz or glass of fine Italian wine at the bar and shop a unique summer capsule collection (including the famous Justine basket bag) along with limited-edition items. 3 The hotel's recently updated restaurant will serve food on Ginori 1735's elegant Oriente Italiano plates. GLEN ALLSOP 'We went with them because they're young, fresh, fun, playful, whimsical,' explains Meadow. Hotel guests will also be surprised by Sézane products in their rooms. In addition, the hotel will be decked out with objects crafted by Ginori 1735, which is known for its colorful porcelain table settings and home decor. 'It's like Bergdorf-caliber, fancy China,' notes Meadow. Chef Jorge Espinoza, who runs the restaurant, has already been serving his famous spaghetti alla nerano on Ginori 1735's Oriente Italiano plates. This summer all food — both indoor and outdoor — will be served on the brand's tableware. 3 A scrumptions meal from the Maidstone. GLEN ALLSOP The company is also creating printed pillows, umbrellas and throws for the garden and setting up a pop-up shop in the hotel lobby for guests coveting the latest Ginori 1735 collection. 'I watched all last summer as guests would sit there and look at the bottom of the plates to see who made them,' recalls Meadow. 'Why not be able to allow them to bring those home, right?'
