Here are 10 jazz clubs across the city where the music is front and centre, the setting feels a little more refined, and the night seems truly magical.
Jazz and London go way back. It was in the early 1900s, when the first clubs began to spring up. After the Second World War, Soho quickly became a bustling hub for jazz with exclusive late-night sets and saxophone solos reigning supreme. Though the old-school charm is still prevalent, the recent jazz landscape in London is more about elegant candlelight settings, plush velvet booths, exclusive cocktails,...

Amazing Graceland — Building The 'Priscilla' Movie
25th July 2025
Women living in invisible cages is a hallmark theme of Sofia Coppola’s work. From the doomed Lisbon sisters in The Virgin Suicides to the isolated queen in Marie Antoinette, Coppola has historically fixated on girls and women at odds with their surroundings. Her 2023 film Priscilla was no exception. Based on Priscilla Presley’s 1985 memoir, Elvis and Me, the storyline of Priscilla spans 1959 to 1979, tracking her initial meeting of Elvis through to their split. In between, it focuses on Priscilla’s time spent at Graceland and its impact on her. The film’s production designer Tamara Deverell, tells The Sybarite it’s about a “woman who is shadowed by a male presence in her life.” This shadow was cast by Elvis Presley, played by Jacob Elordi. The larger-than-life rock ’n’ roll star was a force of nature. In 1959, he met a then-14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu, played by Cailee Spaeny, while he was serving with the US Army in Germany. The fact he was 10 years her senior didn’t seem to phase him. If anything, Elvis viewed her youth and naivety as the ideal means for moulding his perfect woman. Their relationship was complicated and lasted 13 years. During that time, the couple were married and welcomed a daughter, Lisa Marie. “It’s a true story and it’s ultimately a love story,” Deverell argues, in spite of the aspects of their relationship that still raise eyebrows.

Location Vacation — How The White Lotus Is Changing Travel
2nd June 2025
“Luxury is waiting for you at The White Lotus. Your stay is bound to be... transformative.” This is the strapline for the HBO series which has dominated pop-culture for the last four years. It’s devilishly ominous and captures the show’s sharp satire perfectly. Centred on a group of wealthy, elite travellers, they each arrive at a beautiful resort for one blissful week, only to endure their own versions of hell. While the destination changes each season, The White Lotus is always set within a Four Seasons hotel. Season one took place in Hawaii, at Four Seasons Maui at Wailea, while season two was shot at the San Domenico Palace in Sicily’s Taormina. The latest season showcases the beauty of Four Seasons Koh Samui, Thailand. There’s always speculation about the cast for each season, but the location is the true star. Almost a character itself, the setting has a tangible impact on and offscreen. The brand partnership between the hotel group and the show has proven transformative, reviving the relationship between entertainment and travel. This has paved the way for an exponential rise of set- jetting. Defined as the act of visiting destinations featured in movies and TV shows, the phenomenon goes hand-in-hand with immersive experiences. These days, it isn’t enough to merely watch your favourite shows – people want to live in them. Why be a passive observer when you can eat the same meals, sleep in the same beds and jump in the same pools as the characters?

A Quick Guide to Investing in and Collecting Fine Art
11th April 2025
Investing in art is expensive, but it has also outperformed the S&P 500 YoY for over 20 years (according to the Citi Global Art Market chart). Art is considered a ‘passion’ or ‘alternative’ investment, along with collectible cars, watches, and fine wine [among others]. Passion investments are dubbed as such because they require the investor to have a sufficient level of passion and knowledge about the investment. The Knight Frank 2023 Wealth Report reported that “from an investment point of view, art currently leads all other sectors in passion-related luxury investment performance across the world – in fact, at 29%, it performs almost twice the average for this class of investment”. Though a lot of this performance can be attributed to the astronomical prices paid by investors for the art. To quantify the scale; sales of the collections of Microsoft founder Paul Allen and American investor Anne Bass produced in excess of US$2.5 billion.
