Luxury hotels are more than just places to stay—they are destinations unto themselves, where history, design, and exceptional service converge to create unforgettable experiences. This month, we spotlight four remarkable retreats that exemplify timeless elegance and indulgence. From the storied grandeur of Seattle’s Fairmont Olympic Hotel to the romantic charm of Beaverbrook’s English countryside estate, each offers a distinct sense of place. Nestled deep in the Colorado Rockies, Dunton Hot Springs transforms a former ghost town into an exclusive haven of relaxation, while Cheval Blanc Paris sets a new standard for opulence in the heart of the City of Light. Whether you seek historic charm, natural beauty, or urban sophistication, these extraordinary hotels redefine what it means to travel in style.
Fairmont Olympic Hotel
Opened in 1924 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the hotel features breathtaking architecture, innovative culinary experiences, and unparalleled service. The iconic grande dame, which ranks among the best hotels in downtown Seattle, has been restored to full splendor following an award-winning renovation that introduced sophisticated new design elements. Boasting an ideal location, the luxury property is situated near city landmarks like Pike Place Market.

Beaverbrook
Imbued with romance and style that pays tribute to its glamorous past, Beaverbrook is a quintessentially English Country House estate. A place to indulge and relax, and the former home of celebrated publisher Baron Beaverbrook. Located 20 miles outside of London, the picturesque Surrey Hills views, Italianate gardens and expansive grounds are highlights, while the stained-glass roof spa is one of the finest in England and the Japanese restaurant is a destination in its own right.

Dunton Hot Springs
This small and exclusive resort is nestled deep in the San Juan Mountains of the Colorado Rockies, halfway between the ski town of Telluride and the Anasazi ruins of Mesa Verde. The authentic former ghost town boasting two Michelin Keys and featuring twelve elegant, contemporary hotel rooms, has been rehabilitated into a truly unique luxury hotel — a place where log cabins neatly coincide with spa treatments, yoga, thermal baths and fine organic dining.

Cheval Blanc Paris
In the heart of the City of Light, under the Pont-Neuf, a few steps from the Louvre, facing the Left Bank, Cheval Blanc Paris stands majestically. The historic setting with a contemporary spirit, staged by Peter Marino, is a tribute to Art Deco heritage, French know-how and craftsmanship. Chef Arnaud Donckele and pastry chef Maxime Frédéric offer delicious invitations to savor gourmet moments in the face of the effervescence of the Parisian scene.
