We hear it every day. We say it every day.

But in 2026, what actually defines luxury?

A fragrance made only for you. A morning with nowhere to be. Wellness over excess. A home that knows your name. Time, finally, on your terms.

This World Luxury Day, October 8, the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce is putting that question to the global luxury community. The perspectives they gather will help shape the first-ever World Luxury Day Manifesto.

Every story we tell starts with someone’s answer. So to our community and friends: what does luxury mean to you?

Only two apartments in New York have these arched windows.

Extraordinary is the only word that befits them. They're original to 1912. They measure 14 feet 9 inches wide and rise 7 feet 7 inches at their peak.

formerly known as The Emmet Building, an 18-story, Beaux Arts building was originally designed for commercial use by John Stewart Barney and Stockton B. C**t, of Barney & C**t, for the prominent surgeon Dr. Thomas Addis Emmet.

The building was Landmarked in 2018 and has been transformed into 65 spacious, light-filled luxury residences. Sunlight Development and Nuverse Advisors stayed true to the original design and in addition to meticulously restoring over 400 terra cotta gargoyles kept those large arched windows exactly where they were – updating them with 21st century frames and glass.

& we got a peek into one of the glorious PH homes that boasts them: with four bedrooms, four and a half baths and over 4,000 square feet; plus the amenities floor, just hit the market at the “run don’t walk” price of $11.5 Million.

“Without Jamaica, there would be no James Bond.”

That’s Director Adam Low on his new documentary, Ian Fleming and the Curse of James Bond, which premieres November 19–22 at GoldenEye in its eightieth year. His case is built from Jamaican voices — Fleming’s gardener Ramsay Dacosta, novelist Marlon James, Minister Olivia “Babsy” Grange, whose Aunt Violet was Fleming’s house manager. Even the books set elsewhere, Low argues, are soaked in the island.

Chris Blackwell puts it more simply: “GoldenEye is the spiritual birthplace of Bond.”

Gross Media presents three immersive nights of all things Ian Fleming at GoldenEye — Oracabessa, St. Mary. The event includes: the screening at PlayScape. A cocktail party at the villa with a Jamaican jazz band. A barbecue on Button Beach with members of the film’s crew. And Fleming’s own breakfast each morning: scrambled eggs, toast, guava jelly, local fruit, Blue Mountain coffee. Says Gross, “So much new has originated at GoldenEye and radiated outward — through music, literature and the performing arts. Our film invites a new generation to come to Oracabessa, St. Mary, to understand that legacy and be inspired by it.”

Premiere Weekend — November 19 to 22, 2026

Weekend packages from $4,625: lodging for two, three nights, daily Fleming breakfasts, BBQ, villa cocktail party, candlelit dinner, film tickets, all taxes and fees. Film and dinner-only passes also available.

Some companies build in New York. C & A Seneca has helped build the New York we know and love.

At the start of New York Fashion Week, C & A Seneca Construction celebrated 100 years of building the city’s most iconic hospitality, entertainment and lifestyle destinations—and did it in true Seneca fashion: 101 floors above Manhattan at the newly reopened Avenue Sky Lounge at Hudson Yards - that Seneca built.

With Carlo Seneca at the helm, the fourth generation company has established itself as THE Go-To construction co. for the most luxurious and one-of-a-kind venues like Tao, Moxy, Gansevoort, Dream Downtown, Buddha Bar - and many more.

This wasn’t simply a celebration of a century in business. It was a celebration of craftsmanship, ambition, discipline, family and the people who have spent 100 years helping shape the way New York eats, drinks, and plays.

A special thank you to the incredible partners who helped bring the evening to life, including 3Lite and Untitled magazine alongside the Tao Group team at Avenue Sky Lounge, who went above and beyond with stellar hospitality, making for an unforgettable night.

Shout outs to Mandie and Karen Erickson and Noah Tepperberg - The night was set to the soundtrack of some of New York’s most exciting DJs, with DJ Eva Voss—resident at Faena New York—and The Muses bringing their signature downtown energy to the evening.

Here’s to 100 years of building the places that define New York, and to the next century of shaping what’s to come.

Psychology majors rejoice! The luxury biz has gone all in on feelings. Read this Bloomberg piece!

“In a luxury setting, how something is said matters as much as what is said.”

You may never think of reduced decibel levels, slower talk, and “R”s quite the same. Enjoy the read (*said slowly*softly*hard R)!

Step into almost any hospitality space, and perhaps you’ll notice softer volumes, slower speaking and a whole litany of buzzwords.
