Back to School: How Maison Benjamin Can Help You Seamlessly Get Back Into a Routine
It has been a busy summer assisting members with their summer travels and reservations, but now we are ready to dive into fall between New York and Miami. We are excited to curate trips and experiences for our members, like apple picking and pumpkin patches for the little ones, and help the whole family get back into the swing of things. September is also the perfect time to finalize holiday travel plans, made easier by our partnership with Lacure Villas, and explore the newness in your city. With so many exciting new restaurant and hotel openings, world-class events, and fall activities, allow Maison Benjamin to service your property, lifestyle, and travel so you can focus on the things that matter.
In New York, Miami, and around the globe, there are can’t-miss art shows and new restaurants to try, where we can snag you coveted reservations. There are also several fall-themed family activities that we can help you plan, like apple picking the VIP way or hosting a Halloween party. Read on for all that Maison Benjamin can do for its members this fall.
NEW OPENINGS
Aman New York
There’s always something happening in New York City, but this fall, the Aman New York has the luxury travel world buzzing. This urban sanctuary in the heart of the city marks the brand’s first city property in the U.S. Stepping into a suite is like transcending time and space; let us reserve you a staycation or a coveted spa treatment. The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad’s recently opening has travelers excited, but also foodies. There are multiple José Andrés restaurants within the new hotel, but Zaytinya is sure to be the go-to dining hub for power lunches or dinners with friends.
The Ned NoMad Rooftop Bar
Private members’ clubs are on the rise, and The Ned NoMad—the sister property to famous The Ned in London—is an exclusive hotel and members-only spot with chic dining outposts and nightly jazz. It’s swanky, sumptuous, and sexy for nights out on the town. It’s also a co-working space with thoughtful speakers, music sessions and so much more. At the tip of the island, Casa Cipriani—the famed restaurant’s first-ever private members’ club—is both a hotel and private club that harkens back to the Golden Age of travel. The Art Deco-themed club ushers in an international, well-dressed crowd and is worth checking out this season.
EVENTS

The Armory Show kicks off New York’s fall arts season each year and features international galleries with modern masters, cutting-edge artists, and more. This year it runs from September 9 to 11 at Javits Center.
Monaco Yacht Show
Yachting enthusiasts looking to fit in one last Mediterranean weekend, head to the Monaco Yacht Show from September 28 to October 1. The annual exhibition showcases the creative excellence in superyachting where major brands debut innovative concepts and announce new builds, and is where buyers can go to shop for their next vessel. Members can rely on Maison Benjamin’s expert travel services to create an itinerary for Monaco and a paired destination, like Paris.
This year’s FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is held November 20 to December 18 and has made waves around the world. The cup is held at Lusail Iconic Stadium and Al Bayt Stadium, 25 and 45 minutes, respectively, from the country’s cosmopolitan capital, Doha. Doha is home to luxury shopping, incredible restaurants, and five-star hotels—the perfect foundation to your soccer-filled trip.

The holidays are just around the corner, which means the time is now to plan your holiday travels. Maison Benjamin’s partner Lacure, a top global villa rental agency for over 40 years, has an exceptional selection of ultra-luxe villas in popular holiday destinations like St. Barths, Turks & Caicos, Anguilla, Mexico, and more.
