Tori Latham
Tori Latham connects the worlds of fine dining, luxury travel, and design, treating restaurants, hotels, and homes as linked parts of a broader high-end lifestyle. Her coverage for Robb Report focuses on how food, spaces, and experiences are composed, with a consistent emphasis on detail, atmosphere, and the people behind them. She works as a digital staff writer at Robb Report, bringing an editorial background in culture and style to a beat that ranges from chef-driven openings to historic properties and travel-only hotels.
Luxury Dining and Chef-Driven Restaurants
Latham’s food coverage centers on ambitious, chef-led restaurants and the business and infrastructure that support them. She has written about César, a new restaurant in New York’s Soho helmed by a former Michelin three-starred chef, pairing an opening report with a dedicated photo feature on the space. Her Dining pieces track openings with strong culinary pedigrees, including small, high-end counters like Kappo Sono in New York, where multicourse menus feature ingredients such as Wagyu and truffles.
She frequently follows the arc of notable chefs and their decisions, covering news such as Mashama Bailey’s closure of two Austin restaurants while noting ongoing operations at her flagship in Savannah.
Industry stories sit alongside these profiles: Latham has reported on American Express’s acquisition of the fine-dining reservation platform Tock, treating technology and corporate deals as part of the dining ecosystem. In Houston, she has chronicled how restaurants coped with extended power outages after Hurricane Beryl, focusing on operational strain and uncertainty at well-known establishments.
Her work also includes roundups of anticipated openings and richly detailed looks at concept-driven spaces, from a lush Houston restaurant serving caviar sandwiches and sundae service from a cart to an in-depth gallery on the Marigold Club. Tags associated with her articles show that she contributes to coverage tied to Michelin-starred dining and competition-driven cooking, reinforcing a focus on the upper tier of the restaurant world.
Across these stories, she treats menus, design, and chef narratives as equally important parts of the dining experience.
Hotels, Destinations, and Global Luxury Travel
Alongside food, Latham writes extensively about hotels and destinations, often detailing how properties curate service, design, and amenities for high-end travelers.
Her work includes a stay report from the Mandarin Oriental Mayfair in London, emphasizing its intimate scale and placement in an exclusive neighborhood. She has covered Rosewood’s Schloss Fuschl in Austria, presenting the hotel as a 15th-century castle with multiple dining options, a large spa, and lakeside cabanas.
Latham’s hotel features span traditional reviews, visual tours, and service-oriented roundups. She has profiled Mango House in the Seychelles as a serene property defined by TLC and white-glove service.
For major events, she looks at travel through a luxury lens, writing about Paris accommodations that merge apartment privacy with hotel-style amenities for Olympic visitors and surveying what the city’s most luxurious hotels plan to offer during the Games, from sports-inspired cocktails and chocolate sculptures to athlete-focused wellness programs.
Her coverage also stretches beyond obvious luxury hubs.
She has reported on a glamping-style safari resort in New Jersey, framed within a large wilderness park, showing an interest in unexpected settings for high-touch hospitality. In Robb Report’s Monaco edition, she has written “Hotel of the Week” features, such as a piece on Rosewood’s Austrian castle, and an article on Switzerland’s Gstaad Palace highlighting an opulent makeover of its largest restaurant and its ability to satisfy off-menu guest desires.
These stories underline a consistent approach: deep attention to how a property’s design, dining, and service work together to justify its luxury positioning.
Homes, Design, and Lifestyle Features
Beyond hotels, Latham regularly covers high-end homes and design, treating residential properties as lifestyle objects with history and craft.
She has written about a $7 million Charleston home dating back to 1760, focusing on its historic character and luxury positioning. In Robb Report Monaco, she has profiled a historic €10.5 million palazzo near Lake Como, noting its centuries-old frescoes and the way original details coexist with contemporary amenities.
Her archive includes numerous photo-led treatments of residences, where galleries walk through architecture, interiors, and standout features, alongside text that anchors the property’s story. Outside of real estate, she writes lifestyle pieces that link design, fashion, and technology, including an article on a collaboration between Bang & Olufsen and Saint Laurent to revive a ’70s-era turntable with restored components and new wood and aluminum details.
She has also covered the future of jewelry, looking at space-grade stones and custom diamonds, and has written guidance on collecting vintage watches, reflecting a broader interest in how people assemble and curate luxury objects.
Latham’s lifestyle work reaches into events and nightlife, such as a story explaining why Super Bowl tickets have reached record prices and a feature on a new cocktail bar at Las Vegas’s Bellagio that pairs top-shelf spirits with caviar bites. Across these subjects, she maintains a consistent emphasis on what makes an experience or object “luxury,” whether through scarcity, craftsmanship, or the way it is presented to guests and owners.
