Hotels, restaurants and places worth the journey
The Lifestyle Edit is a travel and living publication built in numbered editions. Each Edit takes one place and covers it in five pieces — where to stay, where to eat, what to do, what is made there, and whatever else turned out to matter once we arrived.
Sections
Place
Hotels, restaurants and buildings worth the journey.
Movement
Gyms, lidos, courts and long walks, as they actually are.
Wellness
Spas, baths and recovery, judged on substance.
Living
Country houses, neighbourhoods and everyday design.
Experience
Festivals, shows, tours and days with a date attached.
Product
Kit, food and craft, tested against their own claims.
Reading
Books, bookshops and the longer ideas behind an Edit.
