Unseen Cities that you Must See

As far as a luxury Mexican holiday goes, you’ll be hard pressed to find a more refined offering than the private oasis that is One & Only Palmilla .

(Photography) Chris Plavidal/(Styling) Heidi Adams Oetker Collection’s Eden Being brand features collaborations between luxury companies and the hotel group. A favorite: the Globe-Trotter suitcase made for the 37-room Eden Rock – St Barths. The trunk and hotel drawing inside the lid bring an island-getaway feeling to every trip.

The cotton tee and silk charmeuse pants (with a pattern inspired by the 150-room hotel’s signature tile floors) are ready for purchase in the hotel’s 46 suites.

Borrow Workout Clothes from the Hotel Plan ahead and see if your hotel has loaner workout gear available. “Many Fairmont, Westin, and Hyatt properties offer workout clothes and running shoes for those in need,” says wellness travel specialist and Venice, Florida-based Virtuoso advisor Jeri Donovan. Hotels often offer yoga mats, stretch bands, and more.
