Haute Travel: Celebrity Global Pursuits

Late summer is your last chance to come to Montana’s Big Sky Country without snowshoes. Celebs like Michael Keaton, David Letterman and Tom Brokaw all own ranches hundreds of acres in size—Letterman’s is a whopping 2,700 acres—in the state and visit as often as schedules allow. The Ranch at Rock Creek is a five-star property that allows guests to get a taste of this rugged lifestyle in a rather refined way. Rumor has it Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have been using The Ranch at Rock Creek for romantic getaways and Miami locals Gabrielle Anwar and Shareef Malnik found it the perfect location for their high-profile, yet low-key prairie-themed nuptials in 2015.

The opening of the EAST, Miami by Swire Properties in downtown Miami, has locals wondering about Swire’s other properties in the Far East. The newest might be Temple House in Chengdu, China, which is set on a romantic courtyard dating back more than 100 years to the Qing dynasty. But the most celebrity-laden is the Upper House in Hong Kong, which constantly draws the coolest customers including Tilda Swinton, Adrien Brody, Uma Thurman, Victoria Beckham and Rebel Wilson. No doubt they love the breathtaking views of the harbor and the hills, the contemporary art collection and the clean, modern design by Andre Fu. It’s also pretty convenient to have one of Hong Kong’s best restaurants, Café Grey Delux, perched high up on the 49th floor.
