Guests and readers of Robb Report Malaysia were recently treated to two extraordinary evenings where they were introduced to many high points in luxury lifestyle. At the members-only Cohiba Atmosphere Kuala Lumpur, an internationally recognised top smoking venue, guests were treated to a sumptuous view of the new Rolls-Royce Motor Cars’ Ghost Extended, the latest expression of luxury automotive purity from Goodwood. They also savoured delicious coffee from Italy’s oldest roaster, the five-generation Caffe Vergnano which traces its origins to 1882. Nearby, a model of Sanlorenzo’s 44Alloy captivated guests with its innovative layout and solutions on the water, presented by its exclusive Asian-region brokers Simpson Marine.
Knight Frank’s International Residential Property Associate Director Dominic Heaton-Watson then took centre stage, as he introduced the luxurious canal-side apartments of The Imperial and Westwood House apartments at Chelsea Creak, developed by St George of Berkeley Group. As a means to transporting guests closer to Chelsea, the delicious teas and hot chocolate by Whittard of Chelsea was made available for tasting with exotic Mango Bergamot alongside the customary Earl Grey and English Breakfast. The Scottish Highlands were also represented with Old Pulteney Huddart, a single-malt scotch which derives its name from the street of the same name, located in the town of Wick in Scotland’s north. Then, to polish the night, guests were treated to the aromatic delight of a Romeo y Julieta petit Churchill, using the tobacco of the Vuelta Abajo region in Cuba for a balanced, aromatic sensation.
