Beso by Patria
DINNER WITH A VIEW
After a brief hiatus, Spanish dining destination Beso by Patria has reopened to unveil stunning new interiors designed by Toronto-based, award-winning design studio NIVEK REMAS. Echoing the vibrant and bold cuisine, the interiors celebrate movement, energy and tradition. The crown jewel of the new restaurant is an expansive mural by art studio CROW depicting matadors, flamenco dancers and bullfighters that took 10 days to hand paint.
WEEKEND ESCAPE
For those seeking the perfect weekend escape from Toronto, a new retreat in Caledon at the edge of Forks of the Credit National Park beckons. The Liberty Inn is a cozy collection of five thoughtfully appointed suites in a historic building constructed in the 1850s. Adorned with personal touches, including plenty of pottery made by one of the owners and local artwork, the inn blends modern luxury with heritage charm. Plus, a private bookable Nordic spa with a cedar hot tub, Finnish sauna and cold plunge makes it the perfect wellness getaway.
LUGGAGE WORTH TALKING ABOUT
’Tis the season of weekend getaways and trips to the cottage. Pack in style with Monos’ latest pattern addition, the woven Houndstooth Check. Paying homage to the iconic Pepita pattern that was once used to upholster Porsche interiors, this chic black and white small-scale pattern elevates the style of any traveller. The Metro Tote Bag and Metro Carry-All Duffel are available in Houndstooth Check, and as with all Monos bags, they’re designed right here in Canada.
