How To Have An Exclusive Adventure In Costa Rica

Ensconced amid the thick mangroves of a 2,300-acre nature preserve along the coast of Guanacaste, W Costa Rica – Reserva Conchal draws you in with its lush, firefly-dotted landscape; bold, locally inspired design; and a cool, laidback vibe.

But one of the secret perks of the new hotel, which opened in November 2018, is its exclusive experiences.

The W brand created a cadre of wish granters called W Insiders, who are in-the-know locals who help you access what’s new and hot in the area. And in case you think that sounds similar to a concierge, Gina Conejo, the Costa Rica hotel’s W Insider, is quick to set you straight.

World’s most expensive painting might not appear in Louvre’s Leonardo da Vinci 500th anniversary show. Here’s why

The world’s most expensive painting, the Salvator Mundi , purportedly by Leonardo da Vinci, was supposed to go on display next week in the world’s most famous museum, the Louvre in Paris, in a blockbuster exhibition marking the 500th anniversary of Leonardo’s death. Barring a last-minute surprise, however, the painting will be a no-show.

The Salvator Mundi sold for a record-shattering US$450.3 million in 2017 (the work went on display at Christie’s Hong Kong office in October 2017). But in the two years since the sale at Christie’s in New York, the controversy over the painting’s attribution has intensified.

That disregard may be set to change.
