A Peek into Three Stunning New Hotels
Today I want to highlight a few incredible properties that have recently opened…
There are always new hotels opening or re-opening (especially in the years since COVID shut things down) and the three featured here are just a sample of the amazing properties where you can stay on your next trip.
Bonus - These properties are all Virtuoso and two of these hotels are part of the elite hotel partner programs my host agency participates in. Which means I can secure some additional perks and amenities for my clients, along with having connections at the hotels to help make your stay extra special.
Belmond Maroma (below and above - images via Belmond)
Located in Riviera Maya, this highly anticipated opening took place in August and reviews so far are stellar! This is an entirely reimagined and fully renovated Maroma featuring 72 rooms and suites just steps from the beach. You’ll notice the artful attention to detail in your room and around the resort - Belmond worked by Mexican artisans to combine traditional craft with contemporary style. And seriously, Maroma is a stunner! If you’re looking for something intimate and luxe in Mexico, keep Maroma on the top of your list!
Book one of Maroma’s Signature Suites and Villas and receive exclusive enhancements, including 24-hour butler service and private round- trip transfers.
Maroma has partnered with Michelin-starred chef Curtis Stone. As culinary director of the new Woodend restaurant, Chef Stone will apply his renowned woodfired technique to the Yucatan’s local ingredients.
Gifted Travel Network is part of the Belmond Bellini Club. This relationship allows advisors like me a level of contact and service when working with Belmond that’s not accessible to other agencies or through booking direct.
Raffles Boston Back Bay (above and below)
Just opened last week, this is the first Raffles property in North America though they have been well-established since opening in Singapore 136 years ago. Expect impressive views the minute you arrive. Raffles is known for its luxury and glamour and you will notice that right away when entering their three-story lobby (on the building’s 17th floor). Raffles also created the Singapore Sling - and you will be welcomed with a Boston Sling at check-in.
Nodding to its neighborhood, the rooms evoke the residential feel of Back Bay’s row houses . And every room comes with butler service - which starts even before you arrive! Your butler will reach out to ask your preferences so that everything can be personalized from the minute you walk into the hotel. There are a variety of restaurants and bars on property, some to open in the coming weeks, so you will be sure to find something that pleases you! And a new Guerlain spa, indoor pool, and expansive wellness center will be opening soon.
Rosewood Munich (below)
The new Rosewood Munich opens October 20th. Staying here, you’ll be perfectly situated in the center of everything. The hotel is located in the heart of Munich's Old Town - its 73 rooms and 59 luxury suites and houses are among the most spacious in the city. The hotel includes two restored historic buildings - the former State Bank of Bavaria headquarters and the adjacent Palais Neuhaus-Preysing aristocratic residence. Indulge in one of the Rosewood’s beautiful five houses - each house epitomizes unparalleled grandeur and offers bespoke services for a touch of elegance. The multi-bedroom houses are ideal for families or groups exploring together.
On site, you’ll be well taken care of with attentive service and thoughtful touches along the way. You’ll find the luxurious Asaya Spa, a swimming pool, and a state-of-the-art fitness suite so you can take care of your mind and body while you’re away. Enjoy Bavarian cuisine by chef Caspar Bork, who is passionate about food that brings people together – including the unique Chef’s Table Experience.
