Paris

HÔTEL MAISON SOUQUET

 

 

Travel back in time to the Belle Époque at Hôtel Maison Souquet – an exclusive Parisian townhouse in buzzing Montmartre.

 

 

This new boutique hotel captures the decadent glamour of bohemian Paris – when Montmartre drew artists and aristocrats, socialites and dancers, who would meet and mingle in the district’s theatres, wine bars and private salons.

 

 

At the turn of the 20th century, Paris’ pleasure houses played second home to the city’s socialites and aesthetes. Hôtel Maison Souquet has reproduced the sumptuous décor of such a place, just a stone’s throw from Montmartre and its famous Moulin Rouge.

 

 

Escape the hubbub of Paris for this atmospheric retreat, where each room exudes opulence. Take in the grand central staircase and study, decorated in Empire and nineteenth-century Orientalist style where intricate panelling and cordova leather furnishings complement eclectic ornaments and original artwork. Sip cocktails in the lounge, stroll around the winter garden or indulge in an afternoon of pampering at the spa.

 

 

Hôtel Maison Souquet puts many of Montmartre’s treasures right at your feet. Climb up to the Sacre Coeur for exceptional views across Paris, or while away an afternoon at the nearby Salvador Dali gallery.

 

• The elegance, exoticism and indulgent luxury of a pleasure house at the turn of 19th century
• Private and intimate spa, including swimming pool, steam-bath and beauty treatments
• French designer, Jacques Garcia, has created an eclectic and authentic collection of furniture, artwork, and paintings

Lake Como

CASTADIVA RESORT & SPA

 

 

Set on the shores of one of the world’s most beautiful lakes, CastaDiva Resort & Spa was once the residence of the 19th century opera singer, Giuditta Pasta. Now an exclusive resort with lavishly decorated rooms and suites housed in nine separate villas, it is the latest hot property on the Italian Lakes.

 

 

At the heart of the resort is Villa Roccabruna that houses ten magnificent suites, stunning salons and a tantalising spa.

 

 

Staying here is a sublime mix of natural beauty, historic architecture, 18th and 19th century Italian culture and outstanding service. An essential experience at CastaDiva Resort & Spa is to take a treatment in its unique spa.

 

 

Chromotherapy showers, a Finnish sauna, a Turkish bath, vertical Kneipp and a Himalayan salt room are all available for sheer indulgence.

 

 

Relax on comfortable chaise longues, suspended on a glass floor over the 19th century dock. Or sit outside in the sun by the floating heated pool.

 

 

Discover the romance of Lake Como and explore the pretty villages dotted along its shores. Enjoy a lake tour onboard CastaDiva’s very own boat and visit Villa Carlotta in the town of Tremezzo or Villa del Balbianello at Lenno.

 

 

Return to CastaDiva Resort & Spa for drinks on the terrace followed by a gourmet dinner in l’Orangerie restaurant, surrounded by breathtaking Lake Como.

Sausalito, San Franscisco

CASA MADRONA HOTEL & SPA

 

Heritage on the hill – a fresh-faced bay-side boutique in Sausalito near San Francisco

 

 

Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa seems made for California dreaming. Once the home of a San Francisco Gas and Electric Company executive, it became a WWII military retreat, then a hotel graced by Hollywood and rock royalty in the 50s and 60s.

 

 

Today this grand 19th-century residence is an airy boutique getaway with levels of luxury to rival the yachts moored in the harbour nearby.

 

 

Victorian features and modern touches, polished chrome and fresh colours mark out the accommodation at Casa Madrona. In fact, whether you opt for a Hillside Cottage or Mansion Suite, it’ll feel a little like stepping aboard an elegant ocean liner.

 

 

And that maritime feel extends to the spa – with sea salt scrubs and micro-algae facials reminding you that the swell of the ocean is never far away.

 

 

Casa Madrona is intrinsically linked to its Sausalito setting. Ask the hotel staff about private painting lessons to capture some of that San Francisco seascape. Learn to sail, zipping from Richardson Bay under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz.

 

 

Or relish the finer things in life with wine tasting. There’s a delicious selection of restaurants within walking distance to suit every palate too – from spaghetti to sushi.
