Held at Jumeirah Beach Hotel’s Nuska Garden in partnership with Jumeirah, HSBC, Buccellati, NIO, Grey Goose and Le Clos, the party marked the first time the Condé Nast Traveller’s Gold List has been celebrated with a global event, bringing together editors, hoteliers, travel industry professionals and friends of the brand from around the world.
Winners from this year’s Gold List traveled from London, Paris, Amsterdam, Mallorca, New York, California, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Australia and all over Africa and the Middle East to join the celebrations.
Guests posed with NIO’s glambot, displayed alongside a sleek black ec6 model set against a suitably gold backdrop. Grey Goose mixed up a selection of specially created cocktails at its pop-up bar and, at its Goose Bumps station, served bumps of Ars Italica Caviar alongside sips of premium Grey Goose Altius. Guests sipped champagne provided from Le Clos, and browsed stunning pieces from Buccellati’s latest collections at the Buccellati Lounge.
