Hello, everyone! That Madrid is a delight, vibrant and super elegant city is nothing new. The good news is that the Four Seasons Hotel Madrid will open its doors soon, in a wonderful historic building, after undergoing a gigantic seven-year remodeling. Imagine how careful! I was there at the end of last year, and hoped it was ready, but it was in the finishing touches. Finally, May 15th will reopen in style in an iconic spot.

Madrid is at in an incredible moment. It managed to get out of difficult days and knew how to reinvent itself with charm and a lot of class. It has great restaurants, fantastic museums, trendy rooftops, good wines, immaculate gardens and lots of new things.

The hotel is located in the Centro Canalejas along with the luxury shopping gallery Galeria Canalejas, a few steps from Kilometro Cero, the zero mark from which all distances are measured in Spain. You can explore the whole city on foot. I love it! Parque do Retiro (where the photogenic Palácio de Cristal is located) is a 20-minute walk away. The Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums form a golden triangle around the hotel. So Perfect!

In order to receive guests with sophistication, the lobby opens up imposing and full of light. The architects took care to restore the building while maintaining all the original artifacts that were possible. Its so beautiful. The Four Seasons Madrid has 200 brand new accommodations with impeccable decor. The spa will be the largest in the city, with four floors, eight treatment rooms, beauty salon, gym and indoor pool with natural light. We deserve it, right?

The cuisine of Brasserie Dani will be led by celebrity chef Dani Garcia (who has 3 Michelin stars!!!), with Andalusian cuisine and panoramic views of the city. There will also be a gastrobar with traditional Spanish tapas with an Asian touch.

I already want to return to the Spanish capital. A charming city that will soon have even more glamor with the Four Seasons Hotel Madrid.

Jot down the tip!

XoXo, lots of light and see you next Tuesday.

Sometimes all we need on a trip is to relax, to live moments of total tranquility and to recharge our energies, don’t you agree? There are some hotels that are perfect for this. They are more than a place for you to spend a few days while you get to know a city. In fact, they are fate itself. Upon arriving, you already realize that the context is so welcoming that you have no desire to leave.

The Four Seasons Chiang Mai is one of those warm, wonderful and impeccable destinations. A sanctuary of well-being. The hotel occupies a huge area just north of Thailand’s second largest city, Chiang Mai. It is surrounded by rice plantations that already make you delve into the local culture. The rice consumed in the hotel throughout the year is produced right there. Every day you follow the work of the peasants in the fields that spread around two ponds with lotus flowers and even around the wonderful pools in the middle of the green. It can’t any more special thank this!

It opened in 1995 with 99 super luxurious apartments that include 22 private residences. The accommodations have careful Thai decor, flowers everywhere including the bathroom and the balcony. Incidentally, the balcony has such a beautiful view of the rice terraces and pools that you feel like sitting there for hours. But, get up for a yoga class or when it’s time for the spa. By the way, in Thailand you can not leave the massages aside at all. They are of the Gods! And the hotel spa is a must!

Another highlight is the kitchen of Four Seasns Chiang Mai. Sensational from breakfast to dinner. Everything prepared with care, with fresh products, very attentive service and always with a beautiful view of the valley and the rice plantations.

To get to Chiang Mai, its 45 minutes by car. Go early in the hotel’s van, circle the temples, sit down for a coffee, but do not delay. Come back soon to enjoy the peace of Four Seasons Chiang Mai. One of those special hotels in the world. Ah! One more tip: visit an elephant sanctuary and pay attention to choose one that is gentle with animals and does not offer rides. I suggest the Kanjana where the animals are rescued from mistreatment and very well taken care of.

Write down these tips for when Thailand comes into your life.

XoXo and a wonderful week to all!

In addition to the wonderful modern decoration, the room service is amazing, I am very spoiled when i’m there! Makes me not even want to go back home. Haha! All rooms are super cozy with a flat-screen TV, bathrobes and bath products. Furthermore, the hotel has a swimming pool, a spa and fitness facility. The restaurant, Cut by Wolfgang Puck, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, everything delicious and, of course, that the private dining and room service are also available and are spotless. I love it so much!

I highly recommend and i can’t wait to return!
