Flexjet’s $75 Million G650, Switzerland’s Top Lakeside Hotels, Airport Concierge Service And More

Switzerland’s Most Luxurious Lakeside Hotels

Like Aspen—or many mountain locales—Switzerland is one of those destinations where travelers come for the winter and stay for the summer. Whether you want to experience one of the country’s many wellness spas or the peaks of Swiss cuisine, here are the most luxurious lakeside hotels in Switzerland.

Inside Flexjet’s New $75 Million Gulfstream G650

Even private jet companies appreciate an upgrade. Flexjet recently gave a private tour of its newest Bentley-inspired Gulfstream G650. The $75 million jet can fly up to 16 hours nonstop at a top cruising speed of Mach 0.925. The plane’s interiors were created in partnership with Bentley, whose rare Mulliner Bacalar is the inspiration for the seats, which utilize Bentley’s signature basket weave stitching. The main cabin features a conference table that can be converted into a dining area for six. And there is a separate cabin with a couch that converts into a full-sized bed. And if that’s not high-flying enough, guests will be transported to the G650 in a Sikorsky S-76 helicopter that’s also modeled on the Bentley Bacalar.

Las Vegas’ First Cannabis-Friendly Hotel To Open In Spring

Recreational cannabis has been legal in Las Vegas since 2017, but normally permissive Sin City has always prohibited consumption on the Strip. (In theory.) This spring, however, Las Vegas will get its first cannabis-friendly hotel. The Lexi (formerly the Artisan hotel), located just off Las Vegas Boulevard in the Arts District, will have 64 rooms and a 420-friendly floor where guests can smoke weed. Presumably on a high floor.

“Of course I know how to roll a joint.”
