We’re back again with our top five luxury properties of the week, and as always, it’s a celestial line-up. 

 

Our list this week spotlights a couple of old favourites that have some new reasons to book – including some impressive new Lake District suites with hot tubs, and a London property with a rose terrace (yes, you heard that right) that’ll have guests wishing for an endless summer. 

 

We’ve added a 16th-century palace in Rome and an historic Rosewood Hotel just steps from downtown Vancouver’s shopping district to the list, and for those who want to escape the rat race, we’ve got a new Alpine hideaway without any TVs.

 

Hopefully, they’ll give you the inspiration you need to make that special booking for your client - or maybe even yourself.

Storrs Hall Lakes
Storrs Hall has six lakeside suites hidden away from the main house

1. Storrs Hall, Lake District 

For anyone in need of a childfree holiday after the busy summer term, this is the one. 

 

Nestled on the shores of Lake Windermere, Storrs Hall’s new adults-only lakeside suites are perfect for a self-care getaway or lavish couples’ retreat. All six suites include a Japanese-style cedar wood hot tub, super king beds, free-standing baths and chaise lounges. For dining, guests can head to the new bistro or the Lake Edge Restaurant at the main house, or order room service to enjoy on their private terrace.

 

Worth noting, the suites “Tern” and “Teal” have also been designed for guests with limited mobility, with support rails, more space and access to parking.

2. Rosewood Hotel Georgia, Vancouver 

Rosewood Hotel Georgia is alive and well open once again in Canada’s most famous west coast city, following a five-month-long renovation by the ultra-luxury brand that has seen accommodation and culinary offerings reimagined. 

 

Situated in the heart of downtown Vancouver, this restored property features 156 guest rooms and suites, a garden terrace and a 1920s lobby lounge. Its signature spa boasts an indoor saltwater lap pool, while its restaurant, Hawksworth, serves up Canadian cuisine in a sophisticated dining room.

Eriro, Austria

3. Eriro, Austria 

Travellers needing a digital detox will delight in Eriro, a breathtaking property in the Austrian Alps that’s so high above the ground it’s only accessible by cable car.

 

Situated at the foot of the Zugspitze mountain range, all nine suites are devoid of TVs in order to allow guests to truly appreciate the views, while balconies have been fitted with cushy daybeds for sunbathing and stargazing. More relaxation awaits at the spa, which features a meditation pool, a Finnish sauna, and a treatment menu inspired by local herbs.

Palazzo Talia

4. Palazzo Talia, Rome 

Formerly a 16th-century palace, Palazzo Talia has re-opened as a boutique hotel with 26 guest rooms after an extensive restoration.

 

Situated in Trevi, its most luxurious accommodation is the Talia Suite, which can host up to six adults and two children across 250 square metres. On the ground floor, the romantic Tramae restaurant serves traditional Roman recipes created by head chef Marco Coppola, while post-dinner drinks can be enjoyed under the grotesque-frescoed ceilings of Bar Della Musa.

5. The Cadogan, A Belmond Hotel, London

The Cadogan's new rose terrace will be open until 27 September

What better for the (kind of) English summer than a partnership with Chateau d’Esclans to create a rose terrace. That's what's going on now at The Cadogan, A Belmond Hotel, where a private balcony has been transformed as part of a seasonal pop-up lasting until 27 September.

 

Located on Chelsea’s fashionable Sloane Street, time spent on the terrace will involve exclusive pourings of Chateau d’Esclans’ wines, including the now legendary Whispering Angel, as well as Garrus, considered to be the most exclusive rose in the world. Glasses will be paired with a new small plates menu of southern France-inspired dishes, such as lamb soldiers with goats cheese and black olive tapenade on toast. 

 

The partnership makes perfect sense, given Belmond owner LVMH's purchase of a 55% stake in Chateau d’Esclans back in 2019.
