JW Marriott makes its debut today in North Carolina with JW Marriott Charlotte, located in the city’s bustling Uptown neighbourhood. The 381-room luxury hotel includes 34 custom suites and offers discerning guests an urban retreat with inspired surroundings. Influenced by Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the city’s namesake, JW Marriott Charlotte draws inspiration from the sumptuous textiles of both her royal clothing and her palaces.

A new look is set to be launched in Nov at Naladhu Private Island Maldives. Home to 20 houses, the resort is undergoing a full renovation, including the top suite, as well as the two-bedroom pool residence, which will reopen with its own 20-metre private beach. The redesign is being led by New York-based designer Yuji Yamazaki, with new sleeker furniture throughout and a much brighter colour palette.

Soneva Fushi, the Maldives’ original barefoot luxury resort, has revealed a new addition to its portfolio of sustainable innovations, Makers’ Place. A fully carbonneutral island studio that recycles plastic and aluminium into works of art, the Makers’ Place studio was built in collaboration with British artist Alexander James Hamilton, and has been built from the ground up by he and his team.
