Five Luxurious Hotels for a Magical Festive Stay This Season

@simplyelevated.travel Aethos Sardinia represents a shift in luxury travel — away from excess, and towards intention.

This is a hotel designed for travellers who care about space, light, and flow.
No rigid schedules. No unnecessary formality. Just beautifully considered design set against one of the Mediterranean’s most striking coastlines.

I recommend Aethos for couples and style-led travellers who want Europe to feel modern, relaxed, and well thought through.

If Sardinia is on your list, I’ll curate the stay and wider route to suit how you actually want to travel.

@simplyelevated.travel Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc isn’t just a place to stay — it’s the reference point for Riviera travel.

From its cliff-edge pool to its guest list spanning generations, this is the hotel that shaped how the Côte d’Azur is experienced today.

When I recommend it, it’s never about trend.
It’s about knowing where true legacy lives.

If you’re planning the South of France and want it done properly, I’ll curate your stay with the access, context, and planning that matches the hotel itself.

Winter in Venice belongs to those who know when to go — and where to stay.

Aman Venice sits quietly on the Grand Canal, offering rare space, silence, and a sense of living inside history.
In winter, the city softens. The crowds fade. And Venice becomes deeply personal.

If you’re considering Venice this season, I can curate your stay at Aman Venice with priority room placement, exclusive amenities, and a seamless, elevated planning experience.

Lake Como is entering a new era of modern luxury…

I’m curating early reservations for clients who want first access.

The Suite That Defines December.
Aman New York — Corner Suite.
Quiet. Warm. Intentional.
This is winter, elevated.

There’s a particular kind of calm found only in rooms like this — where the lighting softens, the city fades, and every detail feels perfectly measured.
It’s the art of stillness, curated through space, design and service.

For travellers who seek this level of refinement, I craft stays that feel considered from the very first moment — with elevated guidance, insider access and the kind of amenities that turn a visit into an experience.

If this speaks to your December mood, I’d be delighted to curate your next stay.

Enquire via DM for a refined Aman New York experience. #LuxuryTravelConcierge #AmanNewYork

December has its own rhythm.
Soft light. Slow mornings. Rooms that feel like a retreat from the world.

These suites define what elevated winter travel feels like — from alpine fireplaces to Parisian glitter to lakeside calm.

Where would you escape to first?

Some hotels don’t “do” Christmas — they become Christmas.

Here are three properties that master festive ambience through atmosphere, storytelling and refined service, rather than spectacle:

✨ Claridge’s, London
Where holiday season feels like heritage. The warmth, the scent, the music — effortlessly nostalgic.

✨ The Lanesborough, London
For the traveller who prefers intimacy. Regal interiors, elegant service rhythm, and a quieter festive charm.

✨ The Ritz Madrid (Mandarin Oriental)
European festive grandeur with sunlight, culture, and contemporary Mandarin Oriental finesse.

Save for December. 🎄

There’s a big difference between a trip that’s expensive… and one that feels elevated.

✨ Expensive
Loud décor. High price tags. Trendy photo ops.
It looks good — but doesn’t always feel good.

✨ Elevated
It’s the quiet luxury of ease…
The intuitive service, the refined touches, the intentional design that makes you breathe deeper the moment you arrive.

✨ Expensive is about cost.
✨ Elevated is about quality.
One impresses the eye.
The other enriches the experience.

And refined travellers know:
We don’t just collect stays — we curate moments.

Which one do you prefer when you travel? ✨#simplyelevatedtravel #luxurytravel #theartofthestay #littleemperors

Luxury travel is an art form.
And the way you check in sets the tone for your entire stay.

Here are three things we are able to inspire refined travellers to always do at check-in — simple rituals that make every stay feel beautifully elevated:

✨ 1. They confirm, not assume.
A quiet room, high floor, soft pillows… they politely double-check their preferences were noted. Luxury is in the details.

✨ 2. They ask about perks with confidence.
From late checkout to complimentary experiences, refined travellers know the front desk often has more to offer — you just have to ask.

✨ 3. They make one signature request.
A particular tea, extra hangers, turndown timing… something small that makes the room feel intentionally theirs.

Luxury isn’t always about spending more —
it’s about moving through your journey with clarity, confidence, and elegance.

Would you try these on your next trip? ✨ #simplyelevatedtravel #travelinstyle #luxurytravel #hiddengems
