Hilfiger Hotels
Clothing designer Tommy Hilfiger is going to join the ranks of Versace and Armani and create a designer hotel. According to the Wall Street Journal (a venerable publication that can be relied upon) Mr. Hilfiger and a business partner have signed a contract to pay $170 million for the Clock Tower, an office building near Madison Square Park in New York. Will the hotel be as preppie as Mr Hilfiger's clothing? Too early to say as yet but we do know he joins the rush to open up yet more accommodation in the hotel-hungry Big Apple. Mr. Hilfiger's old company, now part of Phillips-Van Heusen Corp which also owns Calvin Klein. isn't involved.

Crystals of Etihad
The Luxury Travel Bible likes the sparkly prospect of Etihad Airways - the national airline of the United Arab Emirates - new amenity kits in First class. We especially like the kits for women, which come in a black cosmetic purse dotted with Swarovski crytsals. Inside are products from luxury brand La Prairie' including; moisturiser, hand cream and lip balm. For men there is a black leather cufflink box with the usual man-style amenities such as a shaving kit with Schick Xtreme 3 razor and shaving cream. The new kits will be available on flights between Abu Dhabi and London; Paris; Geneva; Sydney; and Melbourne and then rolled out progressively across the airline's whole First class long-haul route network.
