TRAVEL


VegNews Vacations already provides
once-in-a-lifetime vegan excursions
to Paris, Thailand, India, and Mexico,
but for those looking to escape
across the pond, the HILTON
HOTEL’s vegan suite in London
offers the ultimate luxe getaway.
Located minutes from the London
Bridge, the plant-based experience
begins at an exclusive vegan check-
in desk where keycards made with
PIÑATEX—a pineapple-derived
leather—are available for pickup. In
the suite, guests enjoy plush down-
free pillows; a full vegan minibar; an
in-room dining menu; and Piñatex
chairs, cushions, and headboards.


FASHION
A monumental shift is officially
happening in fashion. Brands
like GUCCI, VERSACE, and
BURBERRY are saying farewell
to fur and crafting fresh-off-
the-runway looks made with
sustainable, animal-free
materials. Vegan companies
are also making their mark:
MINK SHOES’ sparkly stilettos
and show-stopping boots have
caught the attention of celebrities
like Jennifer Lopez, who had a
custom pair made, and Miley
Cyrus, who wore a pair at the
2018 Met Gala and
2019 Grammys.

FOOD
Following in the footsteps of
its Beverly Hills counterpart,
the Four Seasons Hotel
Bahrain Bay has become a hot
spot for vegan fine dining in
the Middle East. Developed
by esteemed restaurateur
MATTHEW KENNEY and
vegan SAUDI PRINCE
KHALED BIN ALWALEED, the
new plant-based “Folia” menu
boasts selections like dukkah
avocado with preserved lemon,
ponzu-lime watermelon poke,
and coconut cream pie with
hazelnut gelato.
