Introducing the new look of Belmond Maroma on Mexico's Riviera Maya – more of a charming hacienda than a resort, its cluster of 1980s stucco buildings have been reimagined by designer Tara Bernard for a new wave of travellers

For the last 100 years, stepping into the exquisitely preserved rooms of the Frick Collection’s mansion on New York’s Fifth Avenue was like entering a gilded time capsule.
It was both the draw of the museum, which is largely unchanged since it opened in 1935, and a flaw: Taken all at once, many of the spectacular bronzes, delicate Sèvres porcelain, and even masterpieces by Goya and Rembrandt drifted uncomfortably close to decoration, the collection’s many superlative parts subsumed into a larger, sumptuous whole.
