There are familiar brands aplenty in this list, along with a number of boutique properties and rising stars as well. Sampled from a bumper crop of openings between January 2014 and March 2015, here is Travel Agent's latest edition of Hot New Hotels. Scroll through the slideshow for a peek at each of this year's properties, and read on for some top selling points for clients.
Asilia Africa opened the high-end Namiri Plains safari camp last summer in a section of Tanzania's Serengeti National Park that has been closed to the public for cheetah research for the last 20 years. As such, the camp (which is 45 miles from any other development) has a great population of big cats, and one of the highest densities of cheetahs in East Africa. This is a top choice for people who want to get away from it all and "rough it" — without roughing it too much. The six tents have king or two twin beds and en-suite bathrooms with hot bucket showers. Bonus: Each tent also has its own flush toilet. Guests can go on twice-daily game drives and talk with the resident cheetah researcher about the big cats.
This five-star Park Hyatt Zanzibar is set in a UNESCO heritage site in the historic section of Zanzibar City known as Stone Town. The hotel, which has direct access to the beachfront, is housed in two buildings. One of them, Mambo Msiige, is steeped in history, grace and mystique with a story dating back to the 17th century. A typical Zanzibari mansion, centered round a peaceful courtyard, a retreat from the summer heat, its architecture embraces Swahili culture alongside Arab, Persian, Indian and European elements. The new and purpose-built Zamani Residence connects to Mambo Msiige, blending old with new, historic with contemporary. Hotel amenities include a spa, fitness center and outdoor infinity pool.
One&Only Hayman Island, Australia
This 726-acre private island retreat in the Great Barrier Reef off of Australia's Queensland coast was reimagined, renovated and reopened (in July 2014) under the One&Only flag. Now more than half of its accommodations are suites, villas and penthouses occupying three distinct sections that each have their own appeal and atmosphere. Travel Agent stayed in a one-bedroom suite in the Pool Wing, where we could jump right into the huge Hayman Pool from our teak deck. Our suite also came with butler service. The three-bedroom, three-bath Owner's Penthouse includes a wraparound balcony.
This luxury hotel in Indonesia's bustling capital city is dedicated to art and culture like its sister hotel, Le Royal Monceau in Paris. Drawing entrepreneurs and artists from around the world, the hotel is directly linked to the new Ciputra Artpreneur Center, an art gallery and theater complex in the central business district at Ciputra World Jakarta. Artwork created by well-known Indonesian artist Hendra Gunawan is found throughout the halls and guest rooms at Raffles Jakarta and the hotel's art concierge conducts walking tours of featured pieces.
Four well-known Italian furniture designers helped create The Reverie Saigon, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. It occupies 27th through 39th floors of a high-rise in the heart of the city's central business district. Five restaurants and bars include the Royal Pavilion, serving Cantonese dishes prepared by the hotel's Michelin-starred chef, the Long at Times Square, where French- and Italian-inspired café items are on the menu and R&J Italian Lounge & Restaurant. The Spa offers European amenities, including an ILA organic line from England, Voya from Ireland, and, in yet another nod to Italy, Acqua di Parma products.
|One&Only Hayman Island accommodations include suites with direct access to the huge Hayman Pool.
The Ritz-Carlton Bali, Indonesia
Majestically perched on a clifftop on the southern tip of Nusa Dua, the new Ritz-Carlton, Bali affords sweeping views of the area's pristine white-sand beaches edged by the Indian Ocean. Top accommodations are the private villas, which come with pools, terrace daybeds and butler service. The suites, starting at 1,070 square feet, also look decadent. There's a dedicated kids program to keep pint-sized guests occupied while their parents indulge at the spa, which is housed in its own villa and has 14 treatment rooms. Six F&B outlets include the Bejana Indonesian restaurant which has a gourmet center called "The Culinary Cave," where guests can sit at the chef's table and watch the theater of the open kitchen.
Shangri-La Hotel, Nanchang, China
Sited on one of the most sought-after locations on the Ganjiang River, this high-rise offers views of the 1,300-year-old Tengwang Pavilion, and is a five-minute walk to Qiushui Square in Nanchang's central business district. Inside, guests are treated to walls decorated with traditional Chinese ink paintings, blue and white porcelain, and the lotus emblem to honor Zhu Da, a prominent calligrapher from the Ming Dynasty.
|The lobby lounge at Sheraton Samui Resort, Thailand, sets the tone for elegant guest experience to come.
Sheraton Samui Resort, Thailand
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide opened the Sheraton Samui Resort in southern Thailand just in time to make our list. Upon arrival at the lobby lounge, guests are treated to panoramic ocean views through a glass-encased balcony, alongside a lighthouse-inspired water feature as part of the "oceanic wave" design concept of the resort. When they open the door to their room or suite they'll find a blend of modern décor and light pastel colors and, upon further exploration, a signature Sheraton Sweet Sleeper Bed, a bathroom with separate shower and bathtub, and a private balcony with garden or ocean views. Onsite facilities include two salt-water swimming pools, tennis court, a fitness center and the Glow Spa.
Graced by "The Lion's Seal" emblem and other elements designed by the legendary Karl Lagerfeld, Sofitel So Singapore debuted last May inside a heritage building in Singapore's Central Business District. Behind the neoclassical façade is a trendy rooftop pool bar called Hi-So, a gym with a rock climbing wall and personal trainers, and a gold-tiled pool. The 134 guest rooms were designed by Isabelle Miaja. Touches include specially commissioned artwork and illuminated light boxes, high above each MyBed, which were inspired by French cupolas. The Xperience has been inviting Michelin-starred guest chefs to take the helm in the kitchen and prepare seasonal menus. The in-house DJ and creative design set the mood for socializing in the interactive gastrobar-style restaurant.
Sunrise Kempinski Hotel, China
On Yanqi Lake just outside of Beijing, the Sunrise Kempinski's design — resembling the rising sun from the front view and a scallop from one side — is a symbol of harmony, unity and good fortune in the Chinese culture. Clients who have the good fortune to stay here will enjoy rooms with views of Yan Mountain and the Mutianyu Great Wall, one of the most well-preserved sections of the Great Wall of China. Spa-goers will be intrigued by Kempinski The Spa's philosophy of restoring the powerful effect of nature, using the "wisdom" of plants, flowers and herbs in all its treatments.
|Condado Vanderbilt Hotel has been restored to the glory of its 1919 origins.
Condado Vanderbilt Hotel, Puerto Rico
As late afternoon transcends to evening in San Juan, a quartet sets up on the sidelines of Vanderbilt Court, the dramatically large, elegant cocktail lounge at the newly reopened Condado Vanderbilt. The vibe is mellow at first but as the night matures the music elevates into an all-out celebration of Latin music, piano, bass and conga each taking turns with solos. All the while, the lounge has filled with sophisticated guests. This is a place where you dress in your finest. Love to sport an evening gown while you're enjoying a mojito? Bring it on. You won't feel out of place in your very best cocktail garb here (in fact, elegant resort wear is de rigueur) either at the bar or as you file in for a swell meal at Vanderbilt 1919. The 63 Commodore and 42 Biltmore Suites, in the hotel's two newly constructed Suite Towers, resemble luxurious private residences, many with dramatic ocean views.
|A three-tiered cascading infinity pool is the centerpiece of the Gansevoort Playa Imbert.
Gansevoort Playa Imbert, Dominican Republic
While the north coast of the Dominican Republic has been well served by value-led all-inclusive resorts, it hasn't had the contemporary, chic, service-led option that the urbane and discerning luxury traveler seeks; that is, until now. Just outside of Puerto Plata, Gansevoort Playa Imbert has 48 suites comprised of one- and two-bedroom lofts; three-bedroom apartments with private plunge pools and spacious terraces; and a collection of four-bedroom penthouses. Each penthouse offers a private rooftop Jacuzzi. At the resort's center is a dramatic, three-tiered cascading infinity pool overlooking Playa Imbert's crescent-shaped beach. Other amenities include a spa with a hammam-style sauna and a meditation and yoga garden. Gansevoort Playa Imbert is a short drive from renowned surfing, kite boarding, golf, tennis, horseback riding and more.
JW Marriott Hotel Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
While the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo is home to an array of luxury boutique hotels, this is the city's first true, full-sized luxury hotel. When we toured it in April, we were told it was mostly popular among business travelers but we see a major upside for leisure travelers, as it has qualities that can rival some of the finest hotels in the country, including such out-of-the-box features as TVs embedded into the mirrors of the bathrooms and key cards that are protected from magnetic strip damage. "Wow" factor: The Vertygo 101 lounge, the Dominican Republic's first "floating" restaurant and bar, with a glass-floor terrace enabling guests to view the city street 101 feet beneath them.
Buzzworthy Caribbean Hotels
|* Marriott Port-au-Prince Hotel, Haiti: The newest American-branded hotel in Haiti doubles as a symbol of Haiti's resurgence. The journey to build it began four years ago when Marriott International reached out to the Clinton Foundation to propose a new hotel to help Haiti rebuild its tourism industry after the devastating 2010 earthquake. Eager partner Digicel Group invested $45 million to build the 170-room/five-suite hotel — et voilà!
|* Belle Mont Farm, St. Kitts: The first chapter of the much-anticipated Kittitian Hill luxury development is set on a hillside amid 400 acres of steep contours and flat coastal plain on the St. Kitts' north coast. Its 84 Guesthouses and seven, four-bedroom Farmhouses offer views of neighboring islands St. Eustatius, St. Barths and St. Maarten. Facilities include The Kitchen restaurant, The Mill bar, Irie Fields Golf Course and The Workshop fitness center.
|* Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall and Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall, Jamaica: Montego Bay's new family-friendly Hyatt Ziva and the adjacent adults-only Hyatt Zilara (along with Hyatt Zilara Cancun), represent Hyatt Hotels' plunge into all-inclusive waters. The two hotels combine for more than 500 rooms, plus restaurants, dramatic cascading pools, a full-service spa and wellness center, beach butler services and a 24-hour suite service.
Malliouhana, An Auberge Resort, Anguilla
A once-celebrated resort in the Meads Bay/Turtle Cove area of Anguilla, Malliouhana was closed for nearly 30 years before Auberge Resort management renovated and reopened it with an eye toward attracting an affluent clientele. Malliouhana's new look includes the creation of 46 spacious ocean-view rooms and suites; an open-air cliff-side restaurant spearheaded by award-winning Chef Jeremy Bearman; a signature Auberge Spa; and a two-tiered infinity swimming pool flanked by private cabanas.
The modern interior design of the adults-only Riu Palace Antillas follows the style that RIU is using for its new projects, although guests may be too busy enjoying the beautiful stretch of Palm Beach, the spa or nearby golf course to notice. There are also three specialty restaurants, a pool eatery, and pool and lobby bars. If they stay up late at the casino they can grab a snack at elegant café, open around the clock. Bonus: Guests can also enjoy the facilities at the hotel's older sibling and neighbor, Riu Palace Aruba. A bridge allows access from one resort to the other.
This property was actually hot before it even opened. Many agents and clients looking for the latest all-inclusive resort in Barbados were highly anticipating the opening of Couples Barbados in Christ Church on the south coast of the island. When Sandals acquired the property in 2013, the anticipation got even heavier. Now, after a $65 million renovation, loyal Sandals specialists have a new option in a new island. The couples-only property has a new Club Sandals lounge, a Red Lane Spa, and 280 rooms across three villages. Room types include beachfront butler suites, or new swim-up river suites with access to a lagoon pool.
Sonesta Ocean Point Resort, St. Maarten
This is Sonesta's turn to enter the "next level" of all-inclusives much like Sandals LaSource Grenada and Azul Sensatori Jamaica recently did. Swanky pools and a really cool rooftop bar are just some of the features that separate this luxury property on Maho Beach from Sonesta's other St. Maarten hotels. This adults-only resort blends contemporary design with a Caribbean vibe, evoking a chic, inviting atmosphere from the public spaces to each of the 129 spacious accommodations (minimum 480 square feet). The services of professional, trained and rated butler are included in 25 of its top suites, including the Roof Top Suites, Sunset Suites and 2,600-square-foot Luxury Penthouses. Bonus: These suites also offer exclusive access to a private wine selection.
Central and South America
|AltaGracia Boutique Hacienda is nestled in the mountains of Perez Zeledon, Costa Rica.
AltaGracia Boutique Hacienda, Costa Rica
Costa Rica has arguably been the hottest destination in Latin America in recent years as many Millennials are discovering some really cool, lesser-known properties in the destination. AltaGracia Boutique Hacienda combines both the luxury one expects from a high-end boutique with the rustic atmosphere and adventure opportunities travelers come to Costa Rica to find. The 50-casita resort is nestled in the mountains of Perez Zeledon, a 40-minute ride from the San Jose airport aboard one of the hotel's private planes or helicopters. Upon arrival, clients will find an array of activities and plenty of nearby attractions from whale and bird watching to hiking to canopy tours and horseback riding. In fact, it is home to 22 horse stables and scenic riding trails.
Chile and Argentina are getting hotter every year and more and more clients are looking to get away to the glorious patch of land that both countries share, Northern Patagonia. Here guests will find beautiful lakeside boutiques, many with a heavy concentration on food, wine and art. At Tierra Chiloe, however, clients get a little something different. Tierra Chiloe is part high-end boutique, part adventure lodge on an island dotted with picturesque fishing villages. The beauty of this destination is as much in the landscape as it is in the island residents. With only 12 guest rooms, the property continues in the footsteps of Tierra Atacama and Tierra Patagonia by offering high-end experiences and personalized service.
|Executive Suite at Shangri-La at The Shard, London offers sweeping panoramic city views.
Fontevraud, Loire Valley, France
Now you can spend the night with Eleanor of Aquitaine and Richard the Lionheart in a landmark Loire Valley destination. First established in 1101 as a large monastic community, Fontevraud Royal Abbey was the final resting place for these legendary icons. In summer 2014, Fontevraud debuted a sublime new hotel within the abbey walls. A dream team of designers, the Paris-based duo Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku, conceived the interiors. Everything was custom-made for the hotel — from the thoughtfully designed décor in the rooms to the altar-like centerpiece in the bar, crafted from centuries-old wood beams. The kitchen sends out dreamy dishes created by Chef Thibaut Ruggeri, winner of the prestigious Bocuse d'Or 2013. (Don't miss the cheese tray.) Nothing quite compares to a stroll through the estate at night, when Fontevraud is closed to visitors, and you can contemplate centuries of history under a star-filled sky.
This boutique hotel was an instant hit when it opened in the center of historic Brussels last summer. The setting is, in one word, amazing, as the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert is one of the biggest tourist draws in town. Inaugurated by King Leopold in 1847, the covered shopping arcade was designed with cast-iron columns and a glass-paneled roof to protect shoppers in inclement weather. Today it is still lined with enticing boutiques (like Delvaux) and chocolate shops (like Mary), and is a terrific place to spend the night. Our favorite room is the duplex Suite #38, accessed by a suspended walkway. Food is another big enticement here, as Michelin-starred Chef Julien Burlat orchestrates the lively restaurant and bar.
Buzzworthy Europe Hotels
|The Hilton Paris Opera opened in the center of the city in January and we hear its swank bar scene has already captured the hearts of the local market. In fact, 80 percent of those imbibing are Parisians. Tres chic! It's all undergone a terrific refurbishment since morphing from the Concorde Opera Paris so it's up to Hilton standards, but since it's also housed in a landmark building, its majestic lobby has retained its vintage look, just with a much more polished flair. This new hotel is close to all must-sees in Paris, including shopping, the Champs-Elysées and, of course, the Opéra Garnier.
|The London hotel scene is red-hot with exciting new openings almost every month of the year. Among the buzzworthy editions in 2014, the Chiltern Firehouse was the first property outside of the U.S. for André Balazs, the famed hotelier behind Chateau Marmont, while the Beaumont London was the first hotel from London's celebrated restaurateurs Jeremy King and Chris Corbin.
|In Austria, the Park Hyatt Vienna is housed in a century-old former bank headquarters in the city's UNESCO-listed First District. In Amsterdam, Waldorf-Astoria made a splash with a canal-side hotel that's made up of six 17th- and 18th-century townhouses. The Turkish Riviera is seeing a bevy of new luxury hotels, including the Mandarin Oriental Bodrum, whose guest rooms have heart-stopping views over the Aegean sea. Budapest is soaring in popularity among American travelers, especially the river-cruising set, and the new music-themed Aria Hotel is getting lots of buzz. Meanwhile JW Marriott Venice — located on its very own island in the Venetian Lagoon — celebrated a soft opening in March 2015.
A member of SLH, Hotel Sant Francesc opened in March 2015 on one of the loveliest squares in Palma de Mallorca. Housed in a restored manor house, Hotel Sant Francesc puts you in the heart of the action. From the rooftop pool terrace, you can gaze out over the tiled rooftops to the colossal sandstone cathedral, while sipping a G&T made from locally sourced gin. Owned by a member of the family that owns the Majestic in Barcelona, Hotel Sant Francesc has 42 rooms and suites that blend original details (frescos, wood beams) with contemporary design. We highly recommend a meal in Quadrat restaurant, located in the former stables.
La Grande Maison Bordeaux, France
The stately city of Bordeaux — the destination du jour in France — now has a gastronomic restaurant that befits the world wine capital. Bernard Magrez, who owns 40 vineyards including four Grands Crus Classés, teamed with Chef Joël Robuchon to open a small hotel and restaurant. Occupying a 19th-century stone mansion, La Grande Maison offers just six suites, done up in a sumptuous Napoleon III style. With every possible comfort — from gorgeous coffee-table books to sprawling marble bathrooms — these suites are the ideal place to sleep off your food coma after indulging in a culinary tour de force at the downstairs restaurant. Robuchon currently has 28 Michelin stars in his global restaurant empire, and he's going for three at this belle beauty of a dining room. Tip: Magrez's contemporary art institute is across the street.
Even in a city celebrated for its palace hotels, La Réserve has quickly made a name for itself among chic Parisians and the international jetset. This Parisian pad is the latest venture for Michel Reybier, whose La Réserve Hospitality Collection includes prestigious properties in Geneva, Bordeaux and the French Riviera. Just steps from the Champs-Elysées (and the Grand Palais), La Réserve checks all the boxes for an ultra-luxe hotel stay. There's an intimate spa, a restaurant that's the talk of the town, a buzzing lounge bar, and service that's intuitive, thoughtful, and never intrusive. Among all the art-filled rooms we recommend those on the top (fifth) floor for views over the rooftops of Paris, and the Detox Breakfast to start off your day with a boost.
|The quirky, stylish lobby of MGallery's Molitor Paris is sure to leave an impression with guests.
Close to the Roland Garros stadium where the French Open is held, the Molitor is a legendary pool complex. This is where the world's first bikini was unveiled! It was closed in 1989, and fell into disrepair, until a $100 million project resurrected the Molitor into a hot hotel destination. The two pools were rebuilt with the same yellow walls, and the hotel — imagined by in-demand designer Jean-Philippe Nuel — has porthole windows overlooking the shimmering blue waters. Part of Accor's growing MGallery collection, its stand-out facilities include the rooftop terrace, with sweeping views over the city, and the Clarins spa, offering water-themed treatments to pay homage to the Molitor's fascinating past.
The highly anticipated arrival of Peninsula Hotels in Europe was years in the making. An important parcel of real estate on the Avenue Kléber — the former Hotel Majestic where George Gershwin wrote "An American in Paris" — was transformed in a four-year project that enlisted the country's finest artisans to dote on the details (like gold leaf, marble and wood paneling). The Peninsula imported its signature fleet of limousines, including a Rolls-Royce EWB Phantom, for its triumphant debut in August 2014. We highly recommend the spa, which is one of the best in town because of its beautiful design and meticulously attentive service.
Shangri-La at the Shard, London
The Shangri-La lords over the happening London hotel scene (literally) with a sky-high perch on floors 34-52 of the Shard. Designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano, the Shard is the tallest skyscraper in Western Europe, and the views are perspective-changing. From this vantage point, you don't just gape at the monuments that make London great, but you also see the motion of a major international capital: the trains pulling into stations, the commuters rushing to work, the boats plying the Thames. One of our favorite features of the Shangri-La is Gong bar, which overlooks the infinity pool on the 52nd floor. In a city known for its cocktail culture, Gong's mixologists stand out for their creative libations. Rooms are decked out with luxurious amenities like Toto Washlet toilets and soaking tubs facing the incredible London vistas.
|Hotel Mousai's terraced suites have richly textured walls plastered in metallic pearl, gold and silver tones.
Each room at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya has outdoor space with seating and most rooms have hammocks installed on the back balconies or terraces, making outdoor relaxing a snap. The rather large Jacuzzi is not in the bathroom, but in the bedroom itself, so it's easy to watch a movie on the wall-mounted TV while soaking in bubbles. And when Hard Rock says "all-inclusive," they mean it — even wine, beer and spirits are available for free in each room. (It's nice to grab a soda from the fridge without worrying about the $5 surcharge.) Bonus: All of the ice at the resort is made from purified water, so go ahead and get that cocktail on the rocks. The Rock Spa is reportedly the largest in the region.
Each room at Hotel Mousai is a distinct work of art, with richly textured walls plastered in metallic pearl, gold and silver tones; Italian porcelain floors; and large private terrace. These terraces, which afford breathtaking panoramic views of Banderas Bay, each come with a gold-tiled jetted plunge pool and hammock, from which guests can enjoy sweeping panoramic views of Banderas Bay. Soaring high above the bay on the 18th floor, Mousai presents a hip and happening rooftop beach club experience 360 feet above sea level. The hotel's Spa Imagine on the 15th floor provides 360-degree ocean and rain forest views.
Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa
Royalton Riviera Cancun's three distinct sections are each unique to guests' needs and vacation styles. Choices include the Resort or Diamond Club sections or the ultimate luxury — on top of Royalton's signature All-In Luxury experience — of the adults-only boutique resort within a resort, the Hideaway. The latter offers its own exclusive restaurant and several bars (swim-up and dry land) and its guests can access all other restaurants and other facilities at Royalton. All resort guests can upgrade to Diamond Club status for access to a private lounge with a premium drinks menu, butler service, an exclusive beach area, preferential à la carte restaurant reservations and more.
The Middle East
|The Burj Khalifa can be seen from most rooms and suites at the new Taj Dubai.
The Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach
With only 237 rooms and suites, this hotel offers what could easily be called a boutique experience and is something special, even for luxe-heavy Dubai. First off, guests here have access to a dedicated 886 feet of Jumeirah Beach and butler service is available upon request for all guests. The Royal Suite has a full kitchen, baby grand piano, media room and two terraces (which come furnished with loungers and a table for six guests to dine al fresco). The Presidential Suites have separate living and dining rooms, a media room, a dedicated study and a private gym. For families and groups, all rooms and suites are connected.
The iconic Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, can be viewed and admired from more than half of the Taj Dubai's 296 elegant rooms and lavish suites. The hotel is surrounded by a variety of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Fine-dining choices within Taj Dubai include the Peruvian-inspired Tesoro and, for Indian cuisine, the Bombay Brasserie. Traditional Afternoon Tea is served in the Byzantium Lounge. Art aficionados will appreciate the 3,000-plus paintings and other works of art specially commissioned for the hotel.
The United States
|Homewood Suites by Hilton New York Midtown Manhattan Times Square South has trendy, modern rooms like this King Bed Efficiency Studio.
Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York
Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York, the first hotel and global flagship for the 250-year-old Baccarat crystal brand, is a contemporary Manhattan take on a classically elegant Parisian hotel particulier. Sought after Paris-based design duo Gilles & Boissier created nearly every piece of furniture for the hotel's rooms and public spaces. Directly across the street from the Museum of Modern Art, a few blocks from Rockefeller Center and Broadway theaters, and steps away from Tiffany & Co. and other upscale shops on Fifth Avenue, the hotel has a French restaurant, a bar, an outdoor terrace, a pool and the Spa de La Mer.
Four Seasons Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort
Each room here has a furnished terrace with views across 26.5 acres of gardens, lake and golf course. Family reunions and other large groups can book a nine-bedroom option in the top floor Royal Suite. Good to know: Many rooms have unobstructed views of the nightly fireworks at Magic Kingdom Park. The Resort's own Explorer Island has a 7,590-square-foot family pool, beach volleyball, outdoor movie nights, a lazy river winding around a "ruined" mansion, a Splash Zone, a video gaming center and fully supervised Kids for All Seasons camp.
Buzzworthy in Las Vegas
|The top pick at Caesars Entertainment's luxury boutique The Cromwell is The Cromwell Suite, a 2,550-square-foot, five-room escape reminiscent of a luxe Parisian apartment. It has three bedrooms with walk-in closets, a parlor, a formal dining room and a lounge area with a pool table. The Cromwell is also home to Giada de Laurentiis' first restaurant endeavor, Giada, and the rooftop Drai's Beach Club/Nightclub.
|Each one-bedroom suite at the non-smoking, non-gaming Delano within Mandalay Bay's 43-story golden tower has a private bedroom and a spa-style bath. For foodies, farm-to-table restaurant Della's Kitchen uses locally sourced ingredients, including its own greenhouse. Exclusive to Delano guests, Delano Beach Club has an oversized chessboard perched atop the pool's wet deck. It also offers guests chaise lounges and 16 private cabanas.
|SLS Las Vegas Hotel & Casino's 1,600-plus guest rooms and suites are housed in three distinct hotel towers—Story, Lux and World—each with a unique personality. Top digs are the Lux Penthouse and Story Penthouse at 2,382 and 3,300 square feet, respectively. Guests can take advantage of a mix of nightlife, dining and entertainment experiences, including Bazaar Meat by José Andrés.
Homewood Suites by Hilton New York/Midtown Manhattan Times Square-South
Designed primarily for extended stays, this hotel's location makes it attractive to any guest who wants to be in the thick of some of the city's main attractions. Madison Square Garden, Macy's, and Times Square/the Theater District are all within less than half a mile. Free full breakfast is offered daily and complimentary dinner and drinks are served Monday through Thursday. The rooftop outdoor function space is usually available for all guests to sit, read, relax and enjoy the views.
The Knickerbocker, New York City
A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, The Knickerbocker was originally opened by John Jacob Astor in 1906 and was a popular haunt of the well-heeled until Prohibition cut into its business and "The Knick" became an office building. Housed in a landmark Beaux-Arts building, The Knickerbocker has been reborn in all its former glory with exciting modern touches. Dining venues include Charlie Palmer at The Knick; Jake's @ The Knick, an espresso bar and artisanal café; and St. Cloud, a rooftop bar and terrace. In keeping with its name, the hotel appointed former New York Knicks all-star Larry Johnson its fitness curator.
The Ludlow Hotel, New York City
For cultural urbanites, The Ludlow Hotel, one of the newest members of the Design Hotels collection, captures the vivid history and gritty charm of its Lower East Side surroundings. Many of its studios, terraces and lofts offer commanding city views and the 17th floor Penthouse includes a furnished terrace, living room, dining table that seats six, full kitchen and two full bathrooms with rain showers and windowed soaking tub. Dirty French, a restaurant helmed by Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi and Jeff Zalaznick, serves provocative French cuisine.
|The spa at Maui's Montage Kapalua Bay offers a serene setting for wellness treatments.
Montage Kapalua Bay, Maui, Hawaii
Montage Kapalua Bay offers 50 luxurious one- to four-bedroom residential-style suites. Each has a large lanai and a full gourmet kitchen where guests can whip up meals or, better yet, have Montage chefs come in and prepare dinner for them. Bringing a touch of the authenticity of the island into the experience, each suite sports an original piece of hand-painted local artwork. A spa and several dining options round out the experience.
Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Christian de Portzamparc, the suites and rooms at the Park Hyatt on W. 57th Street in Manhattan all have floor-to-ceiling windows. Higher floors offer Central Park and city skyline views. Spa Nalai on the 25th floor has six treatment rooms equipped with private outdoor balconies.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Health insurers will lose about $2.5 billion because patients covered through President Barack Obama's health law last year were sicker than expected, according to government figures released late Thursday.
WASHINGTON (AP) � Health insurers will lose about $2.5 billion because patients covered through President Barack Obama's health law last year were sicker than expected, according to government figures released late Thursday.
The Department of Health and Human Services released updated numbers for a program that helps stabilize premiums in the health care law's insurance markets, which offer taxpayer-subsidized private plans. Under that program, insurers whose medical claims costs were lower than expected pay in money to help insurers whose costs were higher.
For 2014, insurers that had sicker-than-expected patients requested nearly $2.9 billion in payments, HHS said. But the government has collected only $362 million from insurers that did well.
That means insurers who requested payments will get less than 13 percent of what they sought. Some plans may face financial problems as a result, Obama administration officials acknowledged. They said those are expected to be isolated cases.
A leading explanation for the shortfall is that 2014 was the first year of the program, and insurers were uncertain about where to set their premiums. Things may ultimately balance out, but it's too early to tell.
"It shows that insurers set premiums too low in the first year for the health care costs associated with who enrolled," said Larry Levitt of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. "I would expect insurer finances to improve as they've adjusted premiums and enrollment has grown, bringing in more healthy people."
The insurance industry was disappointed at what its officials called a significant shortfall.
"Stable, affordable coverage" depends on adequate funding of the program, said a statement from Marilyn Tavenner, CEO of America's Health Insurance Plans, the industry lobby. "It's essential that Congress and (the administration) act to ensure the program works as designed and consumers are protected."
Tavenner, who has just taken over at the industry group, was the Obama administration official in charge of the chaotic rollout of the health care law in 2013.
Despite the concerns of insurers, the Republican-led Congress is unlikely to allocate any additional money for the program, a temporary stabilization fund that lasts three years.
Technically, the health care law obligates the government to pay insurers for their claims. How that would happen, however, was not clearly specified by the legislation.
Premiums for 2016 are due to be announced soon. Overall, increases are expected to be modestly higher than was the case this year.

Hello and happy Wednesday. I don't know if I've told you this before, but I'm a crier. I cry almost every day for various reasons. I am easily moved by TV shows or ads, songs, movies, and, yes, books. Books that make me cry are usually special for me, and My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman is no exception. This book quickly became one of my all-time favorites, and in today's post I'll tell you why.
The author's style was super captivating, and I know some people might find the language a bit complex at times, but to me it was just fantastic. I think he brilliantly managed to tell the story from a seven-year-old girl's point of view, without over-simplifying any detail like some authors do when talking from a child's perspective.
I love the fact that this book explores a grandmother-granddaughter relationship; it is something I had never read in a book, and it's both refreshing and heartwarming. I think this, combined with the author's style I previously talked about, makes the story appealing and enjoyable to different types of readers. Personally, I'm mostly into YA, and this book clearly doesn't fall into that genre, but it's a treasure, and I think young readers will love it as much as adults do.
If you know me, you know that I tend to find links or points in common between books or movies. This book gave me an "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" vibe, and I was living for it. I'm talking about the book by Jonathan Safran Foer. The movie is good, but doesn't do the book justice. Anyway, if you read that book and then you also read My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry, you'll understand where I get the vibe from.
And while we're at it, this book also reminds me of The Good Luck of Right now by Matthew Quick. There's something in both novels that just destroys you inside a little bit, but in a good way, you know?
This book is harsh at times, and nothing is sugar-coated. Elsa, the main character, gets bullied at school in horrible ways, and yet it's the first time I've read about it so explicitly in a book, especially if we take into account that we're talking about a seven-year-old. Yes, I've read about bullying, but it is the stereotypical deal you watch in movies and TV shows. What Fredrik Backman described was brutal, but it's also real.
Something that got me hooked to this book from the start was the brilliant ways in which fantasy and reality were intertwined. When I say brilliant, I mean you never stopped and wondered what could be real and what couldn't; it was all part of the universe Elsa's grandmother had created for them.
The last three chapters broke my heart into pieces and then stepped on them. I bawled while reading the last three chapters. And I mean, I could only stop to catch my breath and clear my eyes of tears to keep reading.
Now, in the comments tell me about a book you've read recently, which became one of your all-time favorites. Who knows? Maybe I'll read and review it next!
Happy Wednesday!
Love, Miss Camila

Expanded Dune
This article or section refers to elements from Expanded Dune.
Nar Trig [d. 88 BG] was a swordmaster and follower of Jool Noret's school. Trig was squat and swarthy, with dark hair, broad shoulders, and powerful muscles.
Trig was a descendant of human settlers who had fled Peridot Colony when it was overrun by thinking machines. His parents were among the settlers who attempted to rebuild the colony, but Nar guided by his hatred for thinking machines, went as a trainee to Ginaz.
While training as a swordmaster he was friend and sparring partner with Istian Goss.
During his graduation ceremony, like other swordmasters, he received a coral disk with the name of his guiding spirit. It was later revealed during his time on Ix that this disk was blank, and he therefore had no guiding spirit.
Early yearsEdit
With Goss, his first mission was on Honru, to assist to the rebuilding process. While they were stationed there, three combat meks were found in a sealed storage depot. The two swordmasters disabled them, then Martyrists obliterated their remnants.
In the months after leaving Honru, with the Army of the Jihad, they attacked and boarded two giant Omnius battleships, which they then seized and converted for human use. Other military strikes had been planned but the Omnius Scourge had killed so many soldiers that these had been cancelled. Consequently, the pair of mercenaries spent most of their time in rescue and recovery operations.
On Ix they encountered a mob of Martyrists who salvaged Pulse-swords and other weaponry from the liberation of Ix and the second battle of Ix which they found guided by Saint Serena. They told them they intended to strike Corrin; Nar who viewed the Martyrists' fanaticism reasonable, parted ways with the more reluctant Istian.
In the cult of SerenaEdit
In the following years, his dark hair became shot with lines of gray. His rugged features were roughened over the years and a long burn made the left side of his face appear smooth and waxy.
Nar eventually became a part of the Cult of Serena. During the following years he remembered his past training with Chirox. He forged a message asking Istian Goss and Chirox to come to Zimia for honors, but the real reason was to destroy the machine. Istian and Chirox were 'welcomed' not by a formal committee but by the angry mob of the Cultists seeking to purge all the city.
Against Istian's calls to reason, Trig challenged Chirox to a fight. The sensei mek and his former pupil fought together and Nar managed to cut one of his arms. While Chirox initially avoided harming Trig, his words and actions forced Chirox to a decision. Stating that he had only ever killed one human, Jool Noret, and that had been by accident, the mek then decapitated Trig saying, "This is intentional".
Chirox deactivated himself and Istian stood guard over his two old friends for hours while the Cultists rampaged through the city.

11 April 2019
How do you cope when the project you're working on is not only followed by the media but also by your family?
For Second Lieutenant Laura Bayfield, it's all part of a day's work.
As the Officer in Charge of the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) contingent sent to South Westland, she is leading the 16 engineers from the New Zealand Army's 2nd Engineer Regiment working with the New Zealand Transport Agency and Downer to rebuild Waiho Bridge.
The bridge was washed away during heavy rain on 26 March, cutting off access between Fox Glacier and Franz Josef and costing the Westland community an estimated $3 million a day in lost tourism income. "It's awesome to be here to help out the community and support the New Zealand Transport Agency," Second Lieutenant Bayfield said.
Her current assignment is also drawing lots of interest from her family and not just because they often see her on television news reports.
"My dad is a civil engineer and is quite intrigued with the project," Second Lieutenant Bayfield said. "My sister is studying engineering and so is my boyfriend – they have lots of questions and their own ideas about how we can replace the damaged bridge."
Once completed, the new 170-metre Waiho Bridge will be the biggest Bailey bridge in the country and is believed to be the largest the Army has helped build since the Second World War.
"The new bridge has 52 bays over piers, whereas most of the bridges we do are 10-12 bays without piers, so it's epic to be involved in this one," Second Lieutenant Bayfield said.
"The Army is used to assembling Bailey bridges manually. It is hard work but very rewarding – it's like putting together a giant puzzle."
Second Lieutenant Bayfield enlisted in the New Zealand Army in January 2017, after graduating from Mount Albert Grammar School in Auckland.
In her final year in high school, where she was a prefect, she attended a two-day symposium at the Royal New Zealand Air Force Base Auckland focussing on women in the NZDF.
"That gave me a bit of exposure to Army life and I was encouraged to join," she said.
Although women engineers are no longer a rarity, the fact that engineering is still a male-dominated field does not faze her.
"I have not encountered any gender-based challenges or stereotypical views in my time in the Army," she said.
"The number of women engineers is definitely growing as perceptions fade that it is a career only for men."

Comment on Yirara College chairman responds to reports, questions by Marie.
Tim why can't you face up to the fact that Yirara has problems? The students coming in do not have the ability to participate in apprenticeship courses.
If they are doing something like the radio course offered go and see what they do – play on I-pads and maybe have the occasional trip to the radio station.
I see that the education department is talking about direct learning programmes. Perhaps Yirara should get its head out of the sand, stop fobbing criticism off and try and see a way forward.
Recent Comments by Marie
The farce of Minister Chandler's Yirara 'assessment'
Perhaps there is a script here for an Australian version of Yes Minister.
Jokes aside, it is a sad state of affairs that the truth can not be revealed . There can be no solution until people start being open and honest.
I wonder how many teachers will pull the pin at the end of the term? I also hear there is disquiet over in the boarding area as well. Keep up the pressure, Erwin.
WorkSafe says it's all good at Yirara College
It seems the present principal inherited the problem but this does not exonerate him.
It is now 2015 and the WorkSafe report is hardly current. Term 2 is 5 weeks away at least.
You can only fool some of the people some of the time. When is the next board meeting?
Cull troublemakers, says Yirara College teacher
Firstly, how did the kids get out of the dorms? They must be used to cutting off alarms.
The person who said that about the break-ins in town is barking up the wrong tree.
I feel sorry for teachers who in good faith have gone to work at Yirara.
It seems to be completely dysfunctional. Well I Never is right.
This recruiting of community kids is just a money making exercise.
If there is no direction from administration and no proper programmes in place how can the place run?
I hope the principal can give you some honest answers when you interview him, Erwin.
It would be interesting to find out how long he has worked with indigenous children and communities.
In the old days students were tested on arrival at Yirara and an attempt was made to put them in suitable levels.
Even then those levels were low. I dread to think what they are now!
Once again it comes back to parents and carers in communities who must get the children to school. In other parts of Australia there has been progress. People like Andrew Forest, and groups like Generation One are paving the way but people in The Centre must take a stand stand and ensure children attend school. This is the simple answer.
Yirara: 100% failure doesn't worry Minister
A comprehensive article on the ongoing systemic failure of the hierarchy in the education system to act on Indigenous education. I guess because it is nominally a Lutheran school they can avoid full responsibility.
In the past some students from Yirara who had some level of literacy and numeracy we went in to highschools in town and boarded at the college.
Perhaps they should look at this and then work with the students who have never attended regularly in community schools. Gillen School in Alice runs bridging classes for kids who come into town from communities.
It is surprising how well they do with regular attendance and then they move into mainstream classes.
Look at the schools in the Cape in Queensland. They have a leader with vision and passion. Education for the indigenous The Centre need such a leader.
Get tough with unruly students: Former Yirara staff
Sally, you've obviously got no idea of how Yirara works.
A few children fly in from the top end and more remote communities but most come in by school bus or the Troopies. Don't you know Alice has an airport?
Anyway, the key point is the school is in crisis. Obviously many of the students coming in have not been regular attenders at the community schools and are not at Yirara for the right reason.
It is also obvious that Yirara is not attracting teachers with experience in indigenous education. Let's see some action from the Board.

Wednesday of the Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time
(Jeremiah 15:10.16-21; Matthew 13:44-46)
Ralph Powell was a Dominican priest known for eccentricity. He used to take two cups of coffee with him to his room every morning. His brothers in community would joke that the one was meant for him and the other for God. They did not doubt, however, that the priest had a close relationship with the Lord. He knew that he was blessed. Anytime -- on both good and bad days alike – he was asked how he was, he would respond, "Better than I deserve to be." It is precisely such a relationship with God that Jesus refers to as the treasure a man discovers in a field and the fine pearl a merchant finds.
When Jesus says that the Kingdom of Heaven is like riches or a jewel, he means that knowing God surpasses anything a person has or does. Jesus' preaching began with the proclamation, "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand; repent and believe." Now he is making the claim that repentance is tantamount to selling everything one has. It is turning away not just from evil things but from good things as well that might distract us from pursuing a relation with God.
More likely than not, the good things that distract us need to be put in their place rather than discarded. We work too hard and should relax to pray more. We enjoy wine, chocolate, and beef, but a day of abstinence each week from these goods would make us more appreciative to the Lord. He is the one for whom we are to sacrifice everything.

Hosting an event is an unbeatable way to wow prospects, treat clients or reward employees. It brings everyone together under a celebratory roof. It fulfils your business goals in a day or night to remember. Yet a standard, yawn-worthy bash won't inspire much joy in the long run. You need cool corporate event ideas.
Treat corporate event planning more inventively. See what wild and elegant nights you can fit into the professional calendar. We've thought of some cool corporate event ideas and pointers to get you started:
Cool corporate event ideas: A masquerade ball
Most business shindigs open up a dancefloor towards the end of the evening. However, these tend to stray into DJ territory. It's far better to make music, dancing and dressing up the centre of the experience.
A masquerade ball is perfect for instilling an upper-class frisson amongst your colleagues, some of whom may never have seen each other in such a light before. Those partially-hidden identities give everything a novelty factor, and you can hire an old-school swing band for the right tone.
Cool corporate event ideas: Comedy interludes
If you're establishing an awards ceremony – perhaps for a company anniversary or some other milestone – then it's crucial to keep the mood light. One way to do so, which your attendees won't see coming, is to book a line-up of professional comedians: performers that have an assured quality.
One may be on hosting duties, sprinkling his awards patter with gentle ribbing at one client or another (give the jokester a few fun details to make it hit home all the sweeter!). Every half an hour, punctuate the gong-giving with a stand-up act, seating everyone in a circle around the stage.
Cool corporate event ideas: A cocktail party
Either at the close of your daytime plans, or as an event in its own right, why not plan a cocktail party? It'll make a fantastic impression on prospects and existing clients, as well as giving your staff a taste of the high life.
Mixologists can really wow their audience. Potentially, you might also want to have a cocktail masterclass halfway through, so your guests leave with more than a fuzzy head. Make the night complete with a violinist to the side, or a chill-step musician.
Cool corporate event ideas: Cool Britannia vibes
As a nation, we have a lot to take pride in. Chief of this is our cultural influence, which has reached many apogees throughout history. Take a page from swingin' 60s London or the Britpop hedonism of the 1990s, and build your corporate event ideas around a monolith to Great Britain, in all its technicolour glory.
For example, set a 1960s dress code: beehives, polka dot dresses and silk shirts are de rigueur. Then arrange for gourmet pork pies, custard desserts, and other British treats on the dinner menu. Book a celebrated covers band, who'll knock out hits from the past six decades – possibly the best songbook in the world.
Any of these cool corporate event ideas reflect your creativity. Certainly more so than a black-tie affair could hope for. Employees and business contacts will applaud your generosity. They'll tell their friends about your exclusive event. Silk Street can bring your plans to life, whatever theme or function you land on. Browse our extensive list of acts to get started…

As an artist, I don't like to take myself too seriously. Painting is not about who I am, it is just something I do. That being said, I am very thankful for the opportunities I've had to develop this gift and share it with others. I have seen how the Lord helps me with challenges as they arise and also how He'll use the different paintings to minister and speak to people. It is humbling to see the emotions that well up in people, and how an image can stir up memories and touch hearts. It has opened doors for me that couldn't have opened other ways. It s a lot like music, in that it speaks to a person's soul and spirit. I truly believe we all have talents and gifts and creativity in us, even though not everyone recognizes it. Visual art just happens to be more 'out there' in the open. Each of us are unique and very special to the Lord. Whatever you do, whatever gifts you have, do it all for the glory of the Lord and you will be most blessed and happy.
Marg has been working as an artist and art educator since 1976. She started her career as a visual arts teacher at Arnprior High School. In 1980 she decided to pursue painting as a full time profession, and for the next twenty years, she developed her skills and built a reputation for her original oil paintings and quality reproductions.
The paintings were known for their attention to detail, and use of light. Much of the early subject matter was rural nostalgia, with a smattering of Victorian ladies, happy children, peaceful landscapes, character studies of Ottawa Valley farmers.
Marg came to know Jesus in 1977, and married the love of her life, Ken Lamendeau in 1979. With the love and encouragement of her Lord, her husband, friends and family, she recognized the power art has to touch peoples hearts and it gave her the opportunity to proclaim the love of Christ at many shows and in her home/gallery.
Ken left his career as a cabinetmaker to go on the road as a salesman/evangelist with Marg's art. It was an exciting, fun life and they met so many wonderful people and artists from all over.
Between 2000 and 2002, there was a shift, and they began to cut back on the travel, Ken taking a job as a Commissionare in Ottawa, as well as missions work overseas, and Marg starting to focus more on teaching others how to paint as well as her own art, exploring new techniques and new subject matter. Today, Marg teaches five classes in oil painting each week from her home/studio in Arnprior. It is thrilling to see the unlocking of the creative gifts in her students and to share the joy of painting and the joy of friendship as it blossoms in each class.
In the last few years Marg has been painting during worship times at the the church she attends in Arnprior Sunday mornings, as well as in her Carss St. Studio.
In recent years, Marg's subject matter has become more varied as she has explored many interests in her paintings. Spiritual subjects, wildlife, moonlight, landscapes, florals, interesting plant life, relaxing beaches have all found their way to her canvases.
Life is an adventure, and painting a wonderful gift to express our thanks to the One who gave us life and so many amazing things to appreciate and enjoy!

Of the many portraits of Christ in the bible, these are two of the most powerful. He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David who has triumphed. He is also the Lamb of God, the innocent pure lamb who became the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. These powerful metaphors portrayed in paint speak volumes about the nature and glory of our Lord.
"Going Deeper" was painted during worship at the church I attend in Arnprior Ont. The idea came from an open vision I received from the Lord a few years ago. In the first part of the vision, I found myself swimming in The River Of God which flows from His throne. This river is a spiritual river which represents His life and presence. Just like natural water completely surrounds us when we are submersed in it, so the presence of God is all around us. I found amazing freedom and maneuverability in this River. As I swam deeper in the River, I was breathing it in like a fish, and the water became a deeper blue in colour. The water started to feel thicker, or 'weighty'. Just as the pressure in natural water increases with depth, so the deep water in the Spirit had more 'substance' to it. My lungs expanded in order to breathe in this new level.
As I looked around me, I saw beautiful stones and jewels at various levels of the River bed. Each stone was unique and different and grew in size as I went deeper. I was aware that these were very special treasures or 'gifts ' from God.
The longer I stayed in the River the more cleansed and filled and invigorated I felt! Eventually I was instructed to go back up to the surface to convince others to come and drink in the River Of God. This painting in my attempt to depict a little of what I experienced. It is a glorious place to be!

I have been a pizza fan since the days we used to go to Shakey's Pizza and watch them make pizzas through the glass while listening to the player piano. So when I discovered grandma pizza, I was Super Happy! And now I'm here to teach you how to make this grandma pizza dough recipe so you can make whatever kind of grandma pizza you want.

What Is Grandma Pizza?
Grandma pizza originated in Long Island and probably has never been heard of in Italy, the home of pizza.
That's just fine with me–hooray for Italian American inventions!
Grandma pizza gets baked up in a parchment-lined half sheet pan that you coat liberally with olive oil.
The bottom of the crust basically fries to a crisp, golden brown in the oil while the interior is puffy but light.
Go easy on the toppings because
- you don't want to weigh down the airy crust and
- with a crust this delicious, you want to be able to taste it
Perfect Pan Pizza by Peter Reinhart
Peter Reinhart is a bread fiend. His seminal The Bread Baker's Apprentice is still eagerly sought out and is considered by many to be The Bible when it comes to making artisan-style bread and understanding dough.
Perfect Pan Pizza is a treasure trove of knowledge, freely shared in plain, easy to understand language, that will have you churning out truly stellar pan pizzas in no time. I've made 3 in the past week, all using his master dough recipe and pizza sauce but then topping them however I want.
Each one has been delicious, and it truly is the crust that makes it.
What Is So Great About Peter's Grandma Pizza Dough Recipe?
While you can technically use any pizza crust recipe for grandma pizza, Peter Reinhart's recipe is pretty dang stellar.
It's crisp and chewy and pillowy and airy. So, so good!
Here's what I like about it so much:
- You don't need a mixer to make the dough
- It requires no kneading, just a few folds
- It's a very wet dough, which means it develops a beautiful, open, airy crumb
- The flavor is excellent
- Peter's instructions are very clear and easy to follow, so unless your yeast is dead, there is no way to mess this dough up
How To Make Grandma Pizza Dough
Making the dough is a straightforward process. First, here's a collage of step-by-step photos:
- Mix flour, instant yeast, salt, and water together until shaggy.
- Mix in olive oil.
- Spread a thin layer of olive oil over your work surface
- Plop the dough out onto the oiled counter and, with oiled hands, press the dough out into about a 15″ square-ish shape
- Using your bench knife to help you, stretch and fold the dough in thirds, like a letter
- Fold the dough into thirds the other way.
From there, put the bowl you made the dough in over the dough like a little dough cave, and let it rest about 5 minutes. Repeat the pressing out and stretch-folds 3 more times at 5-10 minute intervals.
After the last fold, oil the dough, and put it in a lightly-oiled bowl. Cover with a lid or with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least overnight or up to 3-4 days.
How To Shape the Dough for Pan Pizza
This is easy to do, too. You do have to be a little bit patient, because gluten naturally likes to spring back when you press it out, but aside from a little patience, this step takes very little skill. Approach your dough with confidence!
- Lay a piece of parchment in a half-sheet pan and spread on about 1/4 cup olive oil. Plop the dough in the center of the pan and then use your fingertips to dimple the dough and press it out as far as you can get it to go.
- Cover the dough with another half-sheet pan (I find that easier than using plastic wrap) and let it hang out for 20 minutes so the gluten can relax. Repeat the dimpling 2 or maybe 3 more times, waiting 20 minutes in between Dimpling Sessions, until the dough fills the whole pan.
- After the dough fills the entire pan, sprinkle it with minced garlic–pretty much as much as you like
- Then cover it with the other pan to rest/rise until you're ready to top it. It's fine to hang out for 2-3 hours before it goes in the oven.
You may top the pizza however you like, using your favorite homemade or jarred sauce, or give my favorite of the 3 types of grandma pizza I've made in the past week, lasagna pizza. Lord it was good!
The Bottom Crust Basically Fries in Olive Oil!
This is one of the things that is so magical about this grandma pizza dough. Since you're not baking it on a super hot stone, it doesn't end up with little bits of char. Rather, since you pan it up in olive oil, the crust fries to a beautiful, burnished, crispy golden brown!
More Pizza Topping Ideas
Honestly, I think you're going to want to stick with this crust recipe once you've made it. But that doesn't mean you won't want to top it in all different ways. Here are some ideas for you:
- Sausage Gravy Pizza with Peppers and Onions
- Pizza with Ground Beef and Peppers
- Bacon and Pickled Pepper Pizza
- Pulled Pork Pizza
Regardless, remember the secret really is in the crust and not to pile on the toppings too thick so the whole thing will bake through.
A Note About Measurements
NOTE: Most of my recipes are written by weight and not volume, even the liquids.
Even though I try to provide you with volume measurements as well, I encourage you to buy a kitchen scale for ease of measuring, accuracy, and consistency.
This is the scale I use, love, and recommend:
I really hope you love this grandma pizza, you guys!
If you make one, control yourself long enough to share a photo with me, either in the PCO Facebook Group or on instagram by tagging @onlinepastrychef and using hashtag #pcorecipe. Then dig in!
Thanks, and enjoy!
Grandma Pizza Dough Recipe
This grandma pizza dough recipe makes 3 pounds of beautiful, soft pizza dough perfect for pan pizzas. You'll use 32 ounces of dough to make your grandma pizza, and you can use the rest to make a perfect 8" personal pizza for yourself the next day.
This recipe comes straight from Peter Reinhart's book, Perfect Pan Pizza, a book you need to own, especially if you are a fan of deep dish pizza
- 567 g (about 4 1/2 cups) unbleached bread flour
- 11 g (1 3/4 teaspoons) kosher salt (I use Morton's)
- 4 g (1 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
- 454 g (2 cups) cool water (about 60F)
- 28 g (2 Tablespoons) olive oil
- 2 additional teaspoons olive oil for the stretching and folding (I usually use a lot more than this. It will not adversely affect the dough if you use more than 2 teaspoons)
- 1/4 cup olive oil for panning
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic for panning
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, instant yeast, and salt.
- Add the water and stir in until you have a shaggy dough, about 1 minutes.
- Drizzle in the olive oil and stir for another minute to evenly distribute the oil throughout the dough.
- Use your hand to rub a couple of teaspoons of oil out on a clean counter into about a 15" circle-ish.
- Plop the dough out onto the oiled counter.
- Oil your fingers and press, dimple out the dough to about a 15" square-ish shape.
- Use your bench knife to help you fold the dough into thirds like a letter and then in thirds again the other other way. Cover with a bowl and let rest 5 minutes.
- Repeat steps 6-7 3 more times for a total of 4 rounds of folding.
- Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, and oil the top of the dough. Cover with a lid or with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
To Pan the Dough
- FOUR HOURS before baking, line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper and pour on 1/4 cup olive oil. Spread it out with your hands or a brush.
- Scale out 32 ounces of dough (hold back 4 ounces from the total amount for another use) and plop it down in the middle of your parchment-lined and oiled pan. If you don't have a scale, use all but about 1/2 cup of the dough.
- Use your fingertips to dimple out the dough as far as it will go. Cover the dough with an upside down half-sheet pan and let rest 20 minutes.
- Repeat the dimpling and resting until the dough covers the whole pan. This will take a total of 3-4 Dimpling Sessions.
- Once the dough fills the pan, sprinkle the garlic evenly over the crust and let rest, covered, for 2-3 hours before topping as desired.
- Preheat the oven to 450F (425F for convection) for at least 30 minutes. Bake in the bottom third of the oven for 20-30 minutes. The bottom of the crust should be a beautiful deep golden brown.

Weight 470g
It appears unassuming and low key on the outside, but don't judge a book by its cover. The lining of this jacket is covered in thousands of dazzling silver dots. This is Columbia's Omni Heat Thermal technology. It looks quite strange- like a throwback from a 1980s nightclub, but it does a good job of reflecting radiated heat. I found this to be the warmest of the soft shells in this test. There is no membrane to keep the wind out, but the tightly woven polyester face deflects the worst of the wind on breezy days. Stretch fleece side panels enhance breathability and freedom of movement. Soft inserts at the cuffs with thumb loops help keep wrists warm, or can be tucked away if not required. It could be improved with the addition of a hood and the pockets are very basic- just two small hand warmers that don't work with a harness. However Columbia is a brand with a strong ski heritage and the jacket would perform well on the slopes, on it's own or layered under a shell. It is very good value for a robust, technical garment. Just keep it zipped up if you don't want to blind your friends.

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif has decided to file his nomination papers for three constituencies of Karachi.
The former Punjab chief minister will submit his papers for NA-248, 249, and 250, Express News reported on Sunday.
PML-N leader Saleem Zia obtained the papers for Shehbaz.
Speaking to reporters on the occasion, Senator Zia said Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) had failed to restore peace in Karachi. "What have those with mandate done for this city?" he questioned. Shehbaz, on the other hand if voted to power in Karachi, will change fortune of the port city's residents, Zia added.
The younger of the Sharif brothers is also expected to file papers for NA-132 in Lahore.
Maryam, Hamza appear before PML-N parliamentary panel as 'workers and candidates'
Meanwhile, deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif's daughter Maryam Nawaz has submitted her nomination papers for NA-127 in Lahore. Former foreign minister Khawaja Asif has filed his papers for NA-73 in Sialkot and Punjab Assembly's seat PP-37.
Other PML-N leaders, who have submitted their papers include Saiful Malook Khokhar for NA-135, Sheikh Rohail Asghar for NA-128 and Sheikh Tariq Rasheed for NA-155 and NA-156.
Shehbaz lauds pro-active workers
Earlier today, Shehbaz Sharif appeared before the party's parliamentary board for an interview ahead of issuance of tickets for the upcoming general elections. Chaired by PML-N supremo and deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif, the board interviewed candidates aspiring to be lawmakers.
Maryam Nawaz expressed gratitude towards her uncle for appearing as an ordinary worker and candidate before the board. She also embedded a video in a tweet, where the former Punjab chief minister was briefing the board about a recent visit to Karachi. "The people of Karachi appreciate Nawaz for bringing peace to the city," he remarked.
Speaking on the occasion, Nawaz Sharif lauded his younger brother's performance in Punjab and especially southern parts of the province, saying the party was getting stronger due to extraordinary performance of the PML-N government.
"Those chanting slogans of new provinces and talking about dividing PML-N have failed and been unmasked before the masses," he remarked.
