MUCH LIKE QUIET LUXURY IN fashion means adding inconspicuous, well-made pieces to accent an ensemble, a quietly luxurious lifestyle is about elevating all the important moments in life, no matter where you are and what you do, so that you are living life to the fullest.

For time-pressed professionals, elevating these moments of downtime has become more critical than ever. Whether it’s an afternoon away from the office, a weekend break, or a long-awaited holiday that’s been penned into your calendar for months, spending it precisely the way you want is perhaps the biggest luxury of all.

With some planning ahead and an American Express Card, you can ensure that all these moments are fully maximised and enjoyed. A slew of travel, dining, retail and lifestyle perks are all at your fingertips, helping you to make lasting memories no matter where you go and what you do.

After a productive day of meetings and conferences, you decide to explore the local gastronomic scene. With The Platinum Card’s $200 Global Dining Credit, you can indulge in a delicious meal at a top-rated Michelin-starred restaurant or a carefully curated hidden gem. 

Indulge in the finer things in life

After a successful business trip, make the most of your weekend to recharge and recuperate, especially if you have The Platinum Card handy. 

Kick off your downtime by unwinding with friends over a selection of exquisite wines and flowing conversations. Card Members have access to a specially curated collection by Grand Cru Wine Concierge’s experienced sommeliers and wine specialists.

As the weekend comes to a close, spend it over an intimate meal. At the two-Michelin-starred JAAN by Kirk Westaway, a distinctively British menu transports you to the rolling hills and sweeping coastlines of Devon in the UK. Or, enjoy the theatrics of the teppanyaki and sushi live stations at Mikuni and feast on premium seasonal Japanese produce. Don’t forget to make use of The Platinum Card’s $200 Local Dining Credit.
