THE SUITE LIFE
Amangiri
The resort blends into untouched red-rock country, claiming 600 acres of the majestic Colorado Plateau in a desert landscape of canyons, mesas, ridges and gorges. Suites have outdoor lounges and fireplaces with expansive desert views, while some feature private pools, outdoor lounges and sky terraces looking out across the plains through floor-to-ceiling windows, with especially breathtaking views at sunrise and sunset. The main restaurant presents sustainable, seasonal menus inspired by traditional Native American cuisine and Utah's Southwestern culinary heritage.

Aman Kyoto
Located a short walk from the Golden Pavilion temple, the hotel is a place where nature steals the show. The hotel has 28 rooms in 6 pavilions, hidden amid towering trees, wild flowers, pathways of overgrown boulders and walls of carpeted moss. The heartbeat of the hotel is the spa where relaxation and healing happen in their purest forms with yoga sessions in the garden, treatments that tap into Japan’s natural apothecary and a traditional onsen, an indoor- outdoor hot spring.

La Réserve Paris
An insider’s address just off the Champs-Elysées, offers the quintessence of 19th century Parisian elegance. A world away from the traditional palace hotels, this urban mansion exudes the chic, private spirit of a Club as envisioned by famed interior designer Jacques Garcia. Everywhere, spacious rooms bathed in light feature beautiful marble fireplaces and old-fashioned ceilings. The dream of excellence continues at Le Gabriel, the in- house two-star gourmet restaurant, where the refinement of the cuisine transcends even that of the setting.

Casa Maria Luigia
Devotees of Massimo Bottura, whose Osteria Francescana holds three Michelin stars, will treasure this historic country house owned by the chef and his business partner Lara Gilmore. The 18th-century villa on the outskirts of Modena is a celebration of the Emilia-Romagna region and a glimpse into its owners’ distinctive aesthetic. The main draw is the unique food experience. Diners congregate around communal tables in the old Coaching House for a tasting menu of Osteria Francescana’s best-known dishes.
