A Gilded Age getaway and more promising new year prospects

Resolutions worth sticking to... [View in browser]( [Image](   [HOTELS]( [INSPIRATION]( [OFFERS]( On our radar for more than a New York minute, [Aman New York]( has at last taken its place in our collection. It’s in the iconic Crown Building on 57th and Fifth, a 26-storey love letter to Beaux-Arts style and America’s Gilded Age. European designer Jean-Michel Gathy has feng shui-ed the interiors to perfection with Zen-inducing furnishings and Hasegawa Tōhaku murals – though you could argue all of that plays second fiddle to Midtown’s skyscraping silhouette. But that’s not the only class act we’ve got our sights on this year, with great expectations to be found in Mexico, Mauritius, Marrakech and beyond… [SEE WHAT'S NEW](   [Alternate text]( [MONTAGE LOS CABOS, MEXICO]( Montage Los Cabos is a village-style resort in the sun-scorched Golden Corridor where indigenous agave, saguaro and fig plants line the walkways and a mix of low-rise suites and hillside casas cascade down to Santa Maria Bay, the coast’s most swimmable cove. Spend your days taking a swing or two on the hotel’s golf course, making a splash in one of three pools, or being thoroughly pampered in the resort’s 40,000-square-foot spa. And when that's all over, the mezcal-inspired cocktail menu will have you ending each day on a high. [VIEW HOTEL](   [Alternate text]( [PGA NATIONAL RESORT, FLORIDA]( Glistening lakes, a championship golf course and retro-style interiors; you’ll find them all at PGA National Resort, a mini-metropolis in Florida’s glitzy Palm Beach. A tropical make-over of coral pink, sandy whites and kitschy palm motifs has brought the resort firmly up to date, with plush wingback headboards and lacquered bedside tables in rooms, and enough velvet to make Austin Powers blush. There’s a cafe, spa and a whole host of bars and restaurants, but the biggest scoop of this fab family resort may be the old-school ice cream shop where every day is sundae funday. [VIEW HOTEL](   [THE AERIAL, BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS]( Banishing the January blues is child’s play along the Caribbean’s sunny shores, not least at the Aerial, a wellness resort with a difference. Here, treatments range from classic to downright experimental, therapy sessions with one of the island’s herd of resident zebras, say (yes, you heard that correctly). Doze off in a round, cloud-like bed, go snorkelling in crystal-clear waters or meditate on the white sand beach. And, since the hotel occupies its own private island, you’ll have it all to yourself… [VIEW HOTEL](   [Alternate text]( [ESTELLE MANOR, OXFORDSHIRE]( Whatever your goals for 2024, you’ll find space for them at Estelle Manor, a 60-acre Jacobean estate which offers everything from axe-throwing to archery. Set in the heart of England’s green and pleasant countryside, the Grade-II listed manor house boasts opulent interiors courtesy of design duo Roman & Williams, with a sprawling Roman spa (featuring a tepidarium bathing hall, multiple pools, and ten treatment areas) set to open later this year. [VIEW HOTEL](   [MAISON BRUMMELL MAJORELLE, MARRAKECH]( Sandwiched between the imposingly chic Musée Yves Saint Laurent and the botanical Majorelle Gardens, the location of Maison Brummell Majorelle could easily steal the show. That it doesn’t is a testament to its head-turning design, a contemporary take on Moroccan vernacular fashioned by owner Christian Schallert’s team of talented architects. Think terracotta-toned exteriors accented with brass linings, topsy-turvy Moorish arches, ancient mashrabiya screens and bespoke furnishings made by local artisans. Tres chic, indeed.
