Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort

After a short walk over to the spa through an Instagram-worthy manicured flora and fauna landscape, we were offered hot tea and a cool, lemongrass-scented cold towel before being shuttled into a suite with a private changing area, shower, and bathroom. My therapist offered us white cotton robes and disposable black undergarments. Before long, we were on the tables ready for the massage.

Mandarin Oriental, New York City

In the heart of New York City, set within the towering skyscrapers and the city’s bustling energy, lies an oasis of tranquility: The Mandarin Oriental, New York. While it’s world-renowned for opulent accommodations and impeccable service, what truly sets this luxury hotel apart is its unwavering commitment to wellness.

Raffles London at The OWO

The feeling that history was packed into every cell of the building was palpable, which creates a sense of belonging and awe. It is a very special place. So many fascinating stories.

Thompson Houston

Often, the best urban stays are at places that immerse you in the culture, but at the same time, can take you psychologically out of the city setting when you need to chill from the hub-bub.

Wellness in Toronto

Wellness is about balance, after all, and Toronto delivers on both. Between its major inroads towards sustainability, a plant-based culinary scene, thriving spa culture and proximity to Lake Ontario, the diverse city’s wellness activities are as plentiful as its tourist attractions.
