“The exquisitely renovated Hotel Pilatus-Kulm outside of Lucerne, Switzerland, is nestled into a rocky ridge and accessible only by gondola or by a 30-minute ride on the world’s steepest cogwheel train. It has miles of hiking trails and epic panoramas—and only the faint tinkling of cowbells and the hint of distant city lights to remind you that the world is still moving along 7,000 feet below.”—VIRGINIA VanZANTEN, Associate Editor (pilatus.ch/en/hotel-pilatus-kulm)

“I am obsessed with all things Maira Kalman—her exhibition at the Jewish Museum was so memorable and inspiring, and now she’s done the most amazing and whimsical food illustrations for a new edition of Michael Pollan’s book Food Rules.” —BIFEN XU, Editorial Photo Producer

“As a genre, R&B can be pretty unfortunate these days, but listen closely to Frank Ocean’s debut album and it might change your mind: Interesting narratives, neuroses, and real wit are at play.” —FAN ZHONG, Assistant Editor

“Artist Seth Price is collaborating with fashion designer Tim Hamilton on a spring collection. Look out for pieces like this one, which has patterns based on bank security logos.” —JOSEPH LOGAN, Design Director

“The latest addition to my three-minute morning regimen is La Prairie’s Cellular Radiance Cream Blush, which flawlessly melts into my skin for a rosy-cheeked, barely there look.” —CHRISTINA HAN, Associate Beauty Editor (shoplaprairie.com; $70)

“This small, structured bag from The Row is a no-brainer.” —NORA MILCH, Associate Accessories Editor (at Barneys New York; $4,800)

“Whether intentional or not, Miuccia Prada’s collections always have an artsy edge. This sweater reminds me of late-Sixties and early-Seventies op art, only simplified and with cooler colors!”—ARMAND LIMNANDER, Fashion News/Features Director (at select Prada stores; $910)

“As part of its 10th-anniversary celebration, New York’s Neue Galerie has launched a limited-edition cashmere scarf designed by Akris’s Albert Kriemler that incorporates an image of Austrian architect Joseph Maria Olbrich’s famed Wedding Tower [below].” —KARLA MARTINEZ, Fashion Market and Accessories Director (at Neue Galerie; $1,290)

“My longtime hairstylist Alessandro Mangerini just opened his namesake salon, and it’s as chic and understated as his haircuts are: gleaming wood floors, sleek coloring stations, and, best of all, a huge outdoor terrace overlooking Madison Avenue, where you can sip a cappuccino pre- or post-appointment.” —VANESSA LAWRENCE, Fashion Writer (alessandromangerini.com)

“Thom Browne’s modern-retro aesthetic has finally been translated into eyewear. Made in partnership with Dita, these frames are a standout, with their mesh side caps and smooth titanium curves.” —WILLIAM KAHN, Accessories Editor (thombrowneeyewear.com; $1,000)

“Two of my favorite things—music and massage—have converged at Arizona’s Miraval Resort & Spa in its new Taiz Sensorium treatment. As you lie on a massage table, you’re surrounded by small speakers that emit vibrational music and nature sounds to release tension and bring about a sense of well-being. Another bonus for the nude-shy (like me): You’re fully clothed!”—JANE LARKWORTHY, Beauty Director (miravalresorts.com; $250 for 50 minutes)

“I’ve been an almost-fan of Alan Hollinghurst’s earlier novels The Swimming-Pool Library and The Line of Beauty, but The Stranger’s Child is a resounding breakthrough for me (and, apparently, for him—it was long-listed for the Booker Prize): wildly ambitious, nuanced, and evocative of both Henry James and Waugh’s Brideshead while still being thoroughly modern, sly, and totally thrilling.”—COREY SEYMOUR, Senior Articles Editor

“In River of Smoke, a clipper ship—stuffed to the gills with opium—groans its way from the poppy fields of India to the trading posts of China in the mid-19th century, while a Dickensian cast of characters clash, mashing their radically different dialects into an intoxicating patois. Amitav Ghosh’s second installment of his Ibis trilogy opens a vivid window onto a tumultuous period.” —REGAN SOLMO, Managing Editor
