Clarissa Emily

In this month’s feature, Clarissa shifts from the July issue’s focus on the emotional craft of hospitality to the tangible, curated elements of atmosphere, showing how lighting, sound, texture, scent, and pacing work together to shape the dining experience.

A reminder that in the best dining rooms, it’s the feeling a place gives you – not the food alone – that turns a meal into a memory.

Highlands is redefining the bachelorette weekend with mountain air, gorgeous dinners, boutique adventures, and celebrations that feel joyful instead of chaotic.

Here, après‑hike is a way of life, a welcoming pause where trail‑tired boots, good food, and mountain stories all belong.
