Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has introduced A Sense of Place Journeys, two-day itineraries designed to immerse guests in various destinations by exploring classic landmarks and enjoying unique, private experiences.
The journeys — available at select Rosewood hotels in cities such as New York, London and Vancouver — are guided by Rosewood’s A Sense of Place philosophy that each property should be a reflection of its location’s history, geography and culture.
A Sense of New York, for example, begins with a chauffeur-driven Maybach waiting to collect guests from the airport, with the option to arrive at The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel via the private underground entrance usually reserved for royalty and heads of state. The journey continues with Manhattan experiences such as a chartered boat tour around the city, a 20-course tasting menu at Eleven Madison Park and the finest table at Café Carlyle.
A Sense of Vancouver, meanwhile, promises a custom fitting for clothing at the Lululemon Lab followed by a private, candle-lit evening yoga session at the Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. The journey continues with a Harbour Air Seaplane tour that offers sweeping views of Vancouver, Indian Arm, Fraser Valley and Pinecone Burke Provincial Park and concludes with a gourmet picnic on Widgeon Lake.
“Today, luxury is increasingly defined by experiences, not by objects or labels,” said Radha Arora, president of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. “We think of Rosewood’s guests as affluential explorers who take delight in discovery rather than display. These journeys are designed to offer a truly memorable insight into a city and to go above and beyond typical concierge recommendations.”
