Rosewood opens hotel in Mexico's Riviera Nayarit
Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has officially opened the Rosewood Mandarina in Riviera Nayarit, the luxury brand's fourth property in Mexico.
Approximately a 45-minute drive from Puerto Vallarta International Airport, the 134-room hotel is part of the Mandarina luxury resort and residential complex.
The development is also home to the Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Club and Greg Norman-designed Mandarina Golf Club, as well as the One&Only Mandarina, which opened in 2020.
All accommodations at the Rosewood Mandarina feature private plunge pools and terraces.
The property offers multiple dining venues, including La Cocina, which serves traditional Mexican cuisine, and Buena Onda, specializing in coastal Spanish fare. Two additional venues -- a Japanese fine-dining concept called Toppu and a cliffside cocktail bar known as Barra Penasco -- are scheduled to open later this year.
Other highlights include the resort's Asaya Spa, which draws inspiration from indigenous healing rituals, and the Explorers Club children's program, which offers activities like nature hikes and sustainability workshops.
Rosewood plans to open its fifth property in Mexico, the Rosewood Mexico City, next year.

Modelo's new NA beer might have the best logo of the year
The world is awash in nonalcoholic beer right now. Athletic led the category with some $95.8 million in sales in 2024, followed by the legacy barons Heineken ($89.45 million), Budweiser ($62.37 million), Busch ($37.08 million), and Corona ($28.6 million). As Beverage Industry reports, 0% beer is predicted to continue growing by double digits this year, so it comes as no surprise that Modelo—which overtook Bud Light as the U.S.'s leading beer in 2023—is getting into the game. What does come as a surprise is the logo of its new alcohol-free beer. Some brands, like Heineken, simply made a few tweaks and added a '0.0.' Others, like Budweiser, stripped the can of color (conceptually fun!) and added a 'Zero.' But none of them were as perfectly primed to go NA as Modelo. The brand's new logo is as serendipitous as it is straightforward, but no less sublime. It almost feels like an intervention by the design gods, perhaps not unlike the FedEx arrow. And that's likely why there was no debate when Gut Design presented the work to Modelo. It was an instant 'go.' 'You cannot unsee that, right?' says Murilo Melo, Gut's global head of design. 'They said . . . we don't have to see anything else. It was kind of a magic moment.' Model0% Around six months ago, Modelo brought the Gut agency on to oversee the strategy and branding of what would become Model0% Dorada and Model0% Negra, which just launched in Mexico. The company was focused on creating a nonalcoholic beer that tasted like beer—or, rather, a nonalcoholic Modelo that tasted like Modelo, which the brand says it achieved via a proprietary yeast formula. When it came to the branding, Melo says Modelo needed a system that would work across multiple flavors and styles of its beer to prime it for the future. Given the company's success and its 100-plus-year history, 'there was an intention to honor the legacy of the brand,' Melo says. 'So what we tried the most was to preserve the equity and everything the brand already had.' They experimented with various concepts and hooks. But then, in an informal Gut team chat in WhatsApp, someone posted 'Model0%.' 'When we did that, we said, 'Whoa. There's something here.' ' Melo adds that his team has a mantra to keep things simple and powerful ('we always try, but it's quite hard')—and, well, they had stumbled upon a mark that visually signifies a nonalcoholic Modelo that tastes like the regular Modelo fans love. Gut built out a system for the brand that can scale across new NA products, featuring secondary typeface Rauschen B (a funky, unexpected choice), a '0%' label at the top of the bottle sporting the 'o' of the legacy logo, and more. The bottle does away with the lions, banner, and other elements from the original. But look closely at that 'o,' and you'll indeed find some of the parallel line motifs from the full-strength formula. Ultimately, it all yielded that immediate green light from Modelo. 'Everybody was so on board to respect the visual legacy of the beer, and open to something new,' Melo says. 'It was a perfect match.' How often does that happen? 'Less than I would like it to,' he says with a laugh.

Chinese chemical bust by border officials underscores multifront effort by CCP to undermine US
Mexican drug cartels are getting help from the Chinese to build their drug empire that feeds off American consumers. Border patrol officials intercepted 50,000 kilos of precursor chemicals this week used in the process of manufacturing methamphetamines, sent from China and intended for members of the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico. In addition to providing the cartels with the chemicals needed to make illicit drugs, Chinese entities are also one of the foremost actors in helping them launder their proceeds, according to the Treasury Department. "For far too long, the Mexican drug cartels have raked in billions of dollars at the expense of our local communities leaving nothing but addiction, death and despair in their wake," said Chad Plantz, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge in Houston. "This initiative provides HSI with a game-changing method to stay one step ahead of the cartels by disrupting the flow of chemicals that they depend on to produce illicit narcotics." The seizure was part of an ongoing initiative launched in 2019 to identify suspicious shipments of precursor chemicals from China, India and other countries that are destined for Mexican drug cartels. Since the initiative was established, officials have interdicted more than 1,700,000 kilograms of chemicals used to manufacture methamphetamines and fentanyl, including a seizure this past March of 44,000 kilograms of precursor chemicals at the Port of Houston, destined for the Sinaloa Cartel. Immigration officials' bust comes amid news of a spate of other incidents involving Chinese nationals or individuals working for China who have engaged in espionage efforts, ranging from agroterroism and selling military secrets, to infiltrating U.S. universities and utilizing American-based products to sow political divisions online. In the latest incident, two Chinese nationals were charged with allegedly smuggling a "dangerous biological pathogen" into the U.S. to study at a University of Michigan laboratory. This happened amid controversy over the Trump administration's effort to intensify visa scrutiny for Chinese nationals trying to enter the United States. Last month, an expansive investigation by a group of Stanford students detailed how there is a culture of students and faculty at their school doing work for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The report highlighted how some students want to work with the Chinese government, such as through sharing intellectual property or aligning their research priorities with Chinese interests, while others are sometimes coerced into doing work for the CCP, particularly if they have family back in Beijing. Meanwhile, just this week, reports of Chinese efforts to steal U.S. state secrets or sow political divisions have surfaced. On Friday, the Department of Justice indicted two Chinese nationals and a lawful permanent resident for conspiring to traffic sensitive American military technology to the CCP. Over the weekend, a British businessman was arrested for attempting to smuggle sensitive U.S. military components to China. American artifical intelligence company OpenAI this week also shutdown a Chinese-linked influence operation that was utilizing its ChatGPT product to generate social media posts and sow political division related to U.S. politics online. "The new visa policy is long overdue," Congresswoman Michele Steel said. "After four years of willful ignorance – or gross incompetence – under the Biden administration, President Trump has wasted no time in directing his administration to take the decisive, necessary action to finally thwart the pervasive and growing threat of Chinese communist espionage."
