Picture an opulent hotel designed with Italian glass chandeliers from Murano and Milan, spa-like bathrooms wrapped in Italian marble and a gorgeous, manicured courtyard for outdoor receptions and events. Tea is an afternoon ritual while meeting guests can pop into the jewel box of a patisserie for a fresh-baked flaky croissant or a pain au chocolate, and, at the end of the day, the Mediterranean-like indoor and outdoor pools are great places to roll out a towel and relax.
