If you’re seeking serenity and seclusion, then travelers will be delighted to discover a getaway to a 17th-century estate in Mallorca is newly available for booking.

Fancy a retreat to a Viennese palais? Well, you’re in luck. This spring, the Almanac Palais Vienna opens its doors overlooking Stadtpark on the Ringstrasse, the most elegant boulevard in the Austrian capital. The boutique property is set within a pair of former palais dating back to 1871 and is within walking distance of similarly significant historic establishments, including the Vienna State Opera House. And the beauty and elegance waiting to be discovered on the streets outside the palais is reflected by the stylish decor within its walls, including a marble-clad wellness sanctuary boasting a 46-foot thermal pool. It’s the perfect place to make a splash — Vienna waits for you.

Chic, c’est la vie at the newly-opened Hôtel Dame des Arts in Saint Germain. The City of Lights welcomes another glittering jewel to its sparkling nightlife and hospitality scene with this latest luxury offering in the Left Bank.

Consider it a new home away from home in Hemingway’s old neighborhood. Oui oui.

It’s only fitting that the coolest city in Europe would be home to some of the trendiest, most innovative architecture on the planet — and Berlin is certainly known for its distinctive attitude and style. The forthcoming opening of Sly Berlin certainly mirrors the ambiance of the city, with its design of stainless steel and Brutalist concrete seamlessly integrating open-air walkways and courtyard spaces throughout its four buildings. Located in the ever-popular Friedrichshain neighborhood, Sly Berlin also boasts a large rooftop sauna with sweeping views of the surrounding skyline. It’s the perfect place for curious travelers to discover the magic of Berlin.

Indulge all six senses with a stay at this newly-opened property, located on the famed Via del Corso in Piazza di San Marcello in Rome. Six Senses Rome is the hotel group’s debut outpost in Italy, and it certainly delivers upon its promise of elegance and indulgence. The historic 96-room property boasts an array of wellness options — whether your tastes trend towards aerial yoga or Roman baths. And the magic of Rome is just beyond your doorstep, as iconic sites like the Trevi Fountain are merely walking distance from your suite. (Not like you’ll have much to wish for, when you’re staying in a place like this). Ciao, bella, indeed.

Last, but most certainly not least, we are headed to the famed island of Mallorca, the largest island in the Balearic Islands situated in the Mediterranean Sea. This Spanish isle is world-renowned for its beauty, and there’s no greater place to enjoy the wonders of your surroundings than from the comforts of a 17th century private estate set in the foothills of the Tramuntana Mountains (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Son Net is due to open in spring 2023 with only 31-guestrooms and suites available to book within this palatial property. Expect an extensive private art collection, luxurious spa treatments, and wine tastings from local vineyards. Heaven, it seems, really is a place on earth — Spain, to be specific.
