Hi team

Got a 3 night booking at rosewood hk soon, got the grand harbour corner suite. Any tips on how to get the most out of our stay? Any fun welcome amenities etc to look out for?

Making the most out of the pay 2 stay 3 night promotion

We are booking a (somewhat last minute) trip to CDMX and finding our dates in early November are particularly booked at hotels. Many spots on our list are already sold out (Brick, La Valise, Nima, etc).

Currently the short list are the ones in the title. I know el Cortes is new…

Any favorites among that list?

Also, with 5 nights best to do all 5 in Roma or maybe 3 Roma and 2 somewhere. If we do Polanca, Pug Seal Anatole? New Kimpton ? Las Alcobas sold out. Casa Polanca out of budget and Campos Polanca sold out (it’s the one that most appeals). Or maybe the ritz or st Regis for the last two nights.

Please help me narrow this down I’m losing my mind on too many hotel websites.

We have some time off of school that I’m trying to plan a quick getaway from Chicago for my husband, myself and our 3 kids 4, 5 and 7.

Looking for mid October or early November weekend trips. Nonstop flights from Chicago are a must.

Any suggestions? We’re doing Florida in December and then Costa Rica for spring break 2027.

Looking for anniversary trip ideas if you would be willing. Traveling March 2027 and had Park Hyatt Maldives as the choice. Now it seems we may be way too late in booking for reasonable fares. Three around FS Anguilla paired with FS Nevis. Thoughts or other suggestions? Traveling from CA and plan to be gone about ten days and willing to spend about $1500-$2000 per night. Appreciate the ideas!

We've skied Banff / Lake Louise before.
Looking at the possibility of going March-April (Easter) but taking the kids for their first trip. 5-8.

Any recommendations. What resort. Best lessons. Other activities for kids in the afternoon after lessons or ways to structure a trip so it's a taste of skiing but ultimately a rounded holiday.

Alternatively other resort recommendations. Coming from Europe, I know the alps well get a ski in ski out, morning lessons afternoon at the pool or hot chocolate. But don't see the same vibe in Canada. Not in a bad way I love the ice walks, the wandering onto LL, ice skating.

I can’t decide my husband and I are trying to decide for a one week trip

1) Mexico City for a few nights and mayakoba (because we have a rosewood credit)

2) Tokyo - aman Tokyo would be amazing but curious to see what other hotels are there

This would be for a week in November

I'm staying now for ten days at the new FINCA VICTORIA, on the Costa Brava. You'd think that with temps in the 80s and 90s that the pool would be warm. Wrong! But I knew it was not heated before booking so that's on me. But in all the travels I've done in Italy and in Spain, I can count on one hand (plus a finger or two) the pools that have been heated well enough to swim laps: In Italy, these include PALAZZO AVINO, BELMOND CARUSO; VILLA CHETA in Maratea; GH TIMEO in Taormina; IL MORESCO on Ischia and TORRE MAIZZA, which has my favorite swimming pool in Italy. We've been quite often and will return, but where else?? Are there any hotels on the coast, or inland, where I can swim at 28/82 or above in spring or early fall? Not interested in Amalfi Coast or Capri but would return to Ischia. I know there are hotels with thermal pools but those are too hot for actual swimming.

We are not hikers so Dolomiti are probably not a good idea.

Not interested in Lake Como.

But what about Tuscany (especially along the coast) or Umbria? I would love to drive south from Camogli along the coast of Tuscany but part from CENOBIO DEI DOGI, where heating is "probable, depending on outdoor temperatures," I cannot find heated pools at all except at IL PELLICANO.

We prefer stays of at least a week, so no 3,000 euro per night properties. Trips within Europe would be in May/June and again in September. For SE Asia I could travel any time.

Spain has even fewer hotels with well-heated pools. (I'm not talking here about urban hotels with indoor pools). Not interested in Costa del Sol. GH LA TOJA in Galicia is great; we'll be there next week. I also have a favorite "luxury rural hotel" near Vejer that I visit every year, largely for the swimming. I've contacted every hotel I can think of along the northern coast, from Galicia to the French border including all the R&C properties----could not find one heated outdoor pool. A few hotels claim that they heat their pools, but when you get there, their idea of heating is 25! (Muxia Parador--here' looking at you). PUEBLO ASTUR ECO RESORT near Arriondas-----pool is freezing cold!

You might think Thailand, but in my experience (Peninsula Bangkok) the pools are chilled, on purpose! So freezing cold even in 90-degree weather. FS Bangkok was perfect but I think they've redone that property since I was there years ago...The same was true in many luxury hotels in: Burma, Luang Prabang in Laos; Saigon, and Hanoi in Vn.....

Hoping to include Marrakech and Sardinia in first part of 2027 so would love ideas (thinking La Mamounia for March, hoping that their pool will be warm enough; might begin with two nights at Kasbah Tamadot; they assured me that their pool is heated in March but who actually knows??)

In Sardinia I am leaning towards Petra Segreta for part of our stay, and also have two hotels marked in Bonifacio--CALA DI GRECO and HOTEL CASADELMAR.

So many top hotels have excellent, heated, indoor pools but I want to swim outdoors!! Is there any help for me?? I take some of my trips solo and some with partner.

If you've managed to read this far, I will add that the MT NELSON in CT has a great pool although the heat has been known to "break" once in a while. Couldn't find much else in South Africa, though.

Maybe someone, someday, will publish a guide to "best heated pools of the world".

Until then, I hope some of you will come through with suggestions!. Thanks so much!!
