As the splashiest luxury hotel in the city, it is no secret that the David InterContinental attracts the glam crowd. Even our favorite "Material Girl," Madonna, has stayed at this 555-room modern abode, fully equipped with a pool deck that acts as a tranquil safe haven by day/chic outdoor lounge by night.

From oil spills to overdevelopment, there is no telling which of our favorite beaches will be destroyed next. Our top seven picks for must-see beaches on the verge of disappearing include breathtaking shorelines from Phu Quoc, Vietnam to Saugatuck Dunes, Michigan.

From brainy toilets that do most of the work for you, to bubble baths drawn with drinkable bubbly, we found eight extraordinary bathrooms that will make you want to skip to the loo.
