...essence of a city like London? And how do you embody that essence in a hotel? David Collins' answer: the new London NYC. The Irish designer has transformed the former Rihga Royal, long a business traveler's stalwart in New York City, infusing it with what he calls the "Anglo-European attitude" of Britain's capital.

In December, Russia threatened to cut gas to two other former Soviet republics, Georgia and Belarus, unless they paid higher prices; and the Anglo-Dutch oil firm Shell bowed to pressure to let state-owned Gazprom gain control of a $20 billion natural-gas project in Sakhalin Island, shocking foreign investors...
