All in Hotels
Gorgeous Istrian countryside, exceptional food, glorious wine. No reason to leave.
Tiny palace? Check. Gorgeous roof views? Check. Great bar menu? Check. Consider me sold.
In a city overflowing with gorgeous palaces, this one really takes the cake…the old-fashioned way: with outstanding service and attention to detail.
A stunning mix of traditional materials and contemporary design, the team behind Chable was smart enough to realize how strong the raw materials they had to work with were, and got out of the way.
My kind of place: a calm, soothing palette accented by authentic touches. Six Senses Douro Valley is smart enough to realize that the landscape is so stunning, loading the interior up with a vibrant color scheme would be gilding the lily a bit.
A full-service hotel (spa, gym, room service, you-name-it) populated by apartments? Luxurious Portuguese bath products? Sign me up.
The effect was that of staying in a home where the host has extraordinarily good taste.
I legit don’t even want to tell you about Villa Vager - it’s only got nine suites and it’s the kind of gem I’d like to keep all to myself.

I was once one of those unbearable people who looked down upon people who went to all-inclusive resorts as unimaginative and boring. Then I went to Unico 20 87.
Easily the best thing about the Rosewood Washington DC is the rooftop deck – shaded, with comfortable couches for lounging and café tables for working or drinks. There’s a small infinity pool tucked away on one side – far enough from the couches to provide privacy in both areas.
We spent four nights at the property and I could have happily stayed there for weeks…our room was incredibly comfortable, the food was healthy and delicious, and the pool was unbelievable. I’d love our next visit to be in winter…
