The Grand Tour was once the finishing school of the Western elite. Rome for antiquity. Paris for conversation. Venice for pleasure. The Asian Grand Tour proposes something parallel and overdue: a route through cities where luxury, culture, and diaspora memory now converge on their own terms.
This is The Banquet's signature editorial franchise: a living route, not a one-time article. City guides, room studies, and itinerary deep dives will extend from this map over time.
