Happy New Year!

Welcome to the very first issue of LUXlife for 2020. The editorial team all hope you had a wonderful start to the year.

Fittingly, this issue is a celebration. A celebration of the finest establishments, products and services on the global luxury landscape. From solid gold sound systems, to must-visit archipelago resorts, we have spotlighted just a few of the very best.

If I had you at “solid gold sound systems” you’re certainly in luck. Born from a collaboration between former Sony audio designer Michio Sakamoto and Anodic Supply Co., River’sTone marks a redefining moment for the HNW audiophile. In the opening pages of this issue we profile this ground-breaking product to see how it has come to represent a new age in sound. 

Elsewhere, in our extended feature, we take a closer look at Hard Rock Hotels. As one of the most recognisable hospitality brands in the world, it is hard to understate Hard Rock International’s influence on the greater hotel industry. Of course, regardless of the location, Hard Rock has one underlying unifying theme: a love of music. Read more inside as we take a deep dive into the hotel chain’s history, inspiration and future.

Finally, I wish you all a fantastic week ahead and look forward to hearing from you very soon.
