Shortcuts: Kate Moss

Freckles, crooked teeth, and just 1.70 meters tall—Kate Moss was far from perfect, yet she built a flawless career, including as a style icon. Here’s a travel best-of from the supermodel.

February 14, 2025


Favorite hotel

Hôtel Ritz In Paris, Moss has a clear favorite: the Ritz, a hotel that hardly needs an introduction. Its most lavish suites are named after the legendary guests who, like Moss, made it their home away from home—Chanel, Callas, Chopin.

Party girl

From “Annabel’s” to “LouLou’s” Even though the ever-restless supermodel has traded her hedonistic lifestyle for the world of wellness, at heart, the 50-year-old is still a party girl. She indulges this side of herself in Mayfair’s exclusive private members’ clubs, such as Annabel’s, Mark’s, and the trendy LouLou’s.

Favorite dish

Baked Potato with Caviar
"My ultimate luxury is baked potato with caviar ... heavenly!" raves Kate Moss. Her favorite place to enjoy the dish is in the "Caviar Kaspia" restaurants.

Her Fragrance

Rose water
"I love browsing around Santa Maria Novella and always come out with a bag full of treasures. The rose water is my favorite product. It smells wonderful and refreshes me," says the supermodel.

HomeBase

London Most of Kate Moss’s favorite restaurants are in London—starting with the seafood hotspot Scott’s, where she has hosted several birthday parties, to the upscale grill restaurant 34 Mayfair (which even designed a champagne glass modeled after her breast), and the sushi spot Jin Kichi, which Moss calls “a little piece of Tokyo in North London.”

Favorite resort

Island escape “I love the Maldives—the beauty, the tranquility, the wildlife, the privacy, and most of all, the ocean. Amilla Fushi is a paradise; the most idyllic and relaxing place in the world. Some people worry there’s nothing to do in the Maldives, but I never get bored at this resort.” There’s plenty to experience, from diving and snorkeling with sharks to a romantic boat ride beneath a breathtaking sunset.
