St. Regis Cap Cana Is Your Art-Filled, Family-Friendly Idyllic Getaway
Summer might be coming to a close, but that doesn't mean that fashion and art's best exhibits are slowing down any time soon. This August, take advantage of the best that both worlds have to offer, starting with the art installations at the St. Regis Cap Cana Resort in the Dominican Republic.
The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort is at once an art-filled escape and a family-friendly beachside destination offering a wide range of activities for all. Within the hotel lies a beautiful series of stacked bulbous sculptures by Lorraine Franco, titled 'Totem to Remember.' The vertical ceramics pay tribute to the Taíno culture by representing its ancestry and shared memory. Many of the artists featured are located in the Dominican Republic. The mural inside the St. Regis Bar is by Santo Domingo-based Citlally Miranda, while a conceptual hammock was created by local design studio Atrezzo. Though the St. Regis is frequently associated with its hotels, its portfolio of resorts is filled with on-property experiences for all ages, including a spa and relaxing poolside retreat. Much of the atmosphere is family-focused—the destination offers plenty of activities for the kids. With youth-dedicated yoga, tennis, and movie nights, the resort is an idyllic place where the whole family can sink their toes in the sand, immerse themselves in a world of local art, and enjoy the scenic landscape.

Major hotel chain faces backlash for allegedly outsourcing check-ins — to India
A Miami hotel is facing backlash over a viral video that claims the front desk was staffed by an outsourced worker to welcome new guests during the check-in process. In the video, a guest who booked a stay at a La Quinta by Wyndham was welcomed by a tall screen displaying a virtual front-desk employee — who allegedly was in India. 'Do you need one room key or two room key?' the worker can be heard asking in the video, which has more than 2 million views since being posted on Saturday. The guest replies: 'Two, just in case I lose one.' The hotel customer then signs a form on the screen using their finger. 3 A traveler staying at a La Quinta by Wyndham hotel was allegedly checked in by an outsourced, virtual worker. @languageguy1/Instagram The interaction led social media users to slam the hotel chain for outsourcing jobs to overseas workers. 'More American jobs outsourced overseas. At some point this should just become illegal. If you make money in America, you should hire Americans,' one user wrote in a post on X. Another sniped: 'What hotel, so I can be sure to avoid it?' Some frustrated users even called on President Trump to target the practice by slapping tariffs on US-based companies that outsource jobs to overseas staffers. A spokesperson for La Quinta Inn, which is owned by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, told the Daily Mail that it is actively investigating the matter. 3 'Do you need one room key or two room key?' the worker can be heard asking. @languageguy1/Instagram 'All La Quinta hotels are independently owned and operated under franchise agreements and required to have a team member at the front desk at all times.' Representatives for Wyndham did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment. The chain has several La Quinta locations in the Miami area. It's unclear how widespread the practice of outsourced virtual front-desk employees is at La Quinta hotels and other chains. Wyndham does offer mobile check-in for some guests, according to its website. A video posted to YouTube in February appears to show the same large tablet screen being used by an outsourced worker in a Wyndham hotel in Bonita Springs, Fla. 3 Outraged social media users were quick to slam the hotel chain on social media. @languageguy1/Instagram 'I checked into a hotel by talking to a man on a screen in the entryway. I scanned my ID, swiped my credit card, and the machine provided me a key,' the user who posted the video wrote in the caption. Another social media user said they had a similar experience with a virtual front-desk employee at a hotel in Dublin. 'Honestly, it was a lot quicker than dealing with front desk staff, and it prints out your keycard,' the hotel guest wrote in a post online. Meanwhile, a hotel in Amsterdam allegedly used a fully-automated check-in process, where guests fill out a form on an iPad, take a key card from a pile and tap it on a reader to activate it, according to another user on X. 'There's really no reason for these jobs at all in today's age,' they added.

Cause of death for Ozzy Osbourne released: reports
(NEXSTAR) — Authorities in London have released the cause of death for Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary rocker who died 'surrounded by love' late last month. Osbourne, 76, died of a heart attack, according to a death certificate reviewed by The New York Times and other England-based outlets. Cardiac arrest and coronary artery disease were listed among the causes, and Osbourne's Parkinson's diagnosis was noted. Osbourne announced in 2020 that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Ozzy Osbourne honored as his hearse makes way through his hometown in England On July 22, Osbourne's family confirmed in a statement that the Black Sabbath founder had died that morning, 'with his family and surrounded by love.' Osbourne's wife of more than 40 years, Sharon, signed the statement, as did his children, Aimee, Kelly, Jack and Louis. In early July, Osbourne joined the original members of the Black Sabbath — Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward — for one final show in Birmingham, England. 'It's my time to go Back to the Beginning….time for me to give back to the place where I was born,' Osbourne said in a social media post in February. 'How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever.' In 2023, Osbourne said his touring days had 'ended' due to spine damage he had suffered during an accident in 2019. That year, he canceled tour dates due to health problems, including a 'bad fall' in which he said he injured vertebrae in his neck. Osbourne was laid to rest on July 30. Thousands of Black Sabbath fans paid their respects as his hearse made its way through the streets of Birmingham, the English city where he grew up and where the band was formed in 1968. He is survived by Sharon and their three children — Kelly, Aimee and Jack — as well as his eldest son, Louis, from a previous marriage.

Why Apple has sued San Francisco's newest movie theater
A dispute over a shared name has landed a small East Coast theater chain in legal trouble with one of the world's biggest tech companies. Cupertino-based Apple Inc. has filed suit against Apple Cinemas a month after the small and relatively new East Coast movie theater chain expanded to San Francisco. The Cupertino-based tech giant has filed suit against the movie exhibitor in federal court for copyright infringement, alleging that the brand is trying to trick ticket buyers into thinking that the two companies are affiliated. The lawsuit was filed Friday, Aug. 1, in federal court in Massachusetts, where Apple Cinemas is headquartered. According to the Hollywood Reporter, which reviewed the suit, Apple Inc. is seeking a court order to force the chain to cease using the word 'Apple' in its name and is also asking for unspecified damages. 'Consumers should not go to an 'Apple Cinemas' theater thinking it is connected to the famous Apple brand, with all its goodwill and brand equity,' reads the complaint, written by Miranda Means, a lawyer for Apple. The Chronicle has reached out to Apple Cinemas co-founder Siva Shan and Director of Operations Jessica Robitaille for comment. Apple Cinemas, formed in 2013, had grown into a 13-theater chain in the northeastern United States when in June it struck a deal to occupy the 1921 Don Lee Building at 1000 Van Ness Ave., expanding its footprint into the West Coast. Apple Cinemas opened the 14-screen, 92,724-square-foot space previously occupied by AMC Theatres and CGV Cinemas on July 10. 'I think San Francisco opens up a lot of opportunities,' Robitaille told the Chronicle at the time. 'I think it's really a fantastic space that we have to work with and we have big plans for it.' Apple Cinemas also signed a lease to take over the former Century Blackhawk Plaza in Danville to transform the space into a new theater for the East Bay suburb. It's expected to open by the end of the year. Robitaille and Shan said that the Bay Area foray is part of the company's ambitious expansion plans to become a major national cinema chain. A notable part of the lawsuit is that Apple Inc. contends its brand could be damaged by being associated with Apple Cinemas' alleged lack of quality control. The suit highlights comments on social media that its theaters are 'greasy,' 'dirty' and 'grungy,' with some complaining of tech issues, including the projection system and online purchase portal. Last year, parent company Sand Media applied to register Apple Cinemas and a related mark for ACX — Apple Cinematic Experience but was denied, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The trademark examiner concluded that its movie theaters are 'closely related' to Apple Inc.'s entertainment services — such as Apple Studios and Apple TV+ — and may cause confusion among consumers.
