Six Reasons to Eat, Stay and Love Bali
If you’ve read the novel Eat, Pray, Love, you’re familiar with the natural beauty of Bali. The book recounts the year author Elizabeth Gilbert took to travel the world, making stops in Italy (to eat), India (to pray), and Bali (to love). The island has a transformative effect on Gilbert, and its success has had a similarly dramatic effect on tourism in Bali. If you haven’t decided on a vacation destination this year, read on as we make the case for this paradise island, and six perfect Kiwi Collection destinations. Think of Bali as a tropical “jack of all trades,” with the flexibility to accommodate most types of vacations. Culture vultures can look forward to over 20,000 temples and year-round festivals. Meanwhile, hidden caves, towering waterfalls and pristine beaches cater to those seeking a little eye candy. Just looking to do a little haggling? Stop by the energetic markets at Kuta, Ubud and Sukawati.

9 Modern Speakeasies for a Classic Cocktail Hour
The prohibition era between 1920 to 1933 wasn’t a golden age for fans of alcoholic beverages, with their sale, manufacture and transportation all rendered illegal in the United States. During that time, clandestine drinking establishments known as speakeasies sprouted at a phenomenal rate, and in 1925, there were anywhere between 30,000 and 100,000 operating in New York City alone. Laws were eventually repealed, bringing alcohol back into the mainstream, but the glamour of the speakeasy lives on in popular culture. A welcome trend of late has been the introduction of neo-speakeasies or vintage-inspired bars with an atmosphere and cocktail menu borrowed from the Roaring Twenties. Read on as we take a look at a few Kiwi Collection hotels where the speakeasy concept thrives.
