- Rituals of Togetherness
City Getaways
As summer comes to a close, certain cities come into their own. These urban addresses make a compelling case for a final escape: immersed in the rhythm of the city, yet equipped with terraces, rooftops, and pools that invite a slower pace. Consider this your cue to seek out an effortless city break and savor the last golden stretch of the season.
A European Escape
Rosewood Villa Magna
At Rosewood Villa Magna, Madrid’s summer intensity gives way to a more languid rhythm. Drift between galleries, museums and park strolls before retreating to residential-style suites, and claim a corner table for late suppers that stretch effortlessly past midnight.
A Palatial Retreat
Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek
Occupying a 1920s Italian Renaissance–style estate in the heart of Dallas, the Mansion wears its history proudly, yet feels effortlessly relaxed for modern stays. For families, the rhythm is easy: mornings discovering the city’s museums and galleries, afternoons drifting between poolside and shaded retreats, and evenings on the veranda. For couples, romance can stretch from cocktails to lingering dinners in the Mansion Restaurant, while a quiet lounger and an unread novel remain an entirely acceptable plan for the day.
A Skyline Sanctuary
Rosewood Bangkok
Rosewood Bangkok’s vertical retreat rises above the city’s restless energy, with an outdoor pool and high-rise terraces that lend a resort-in-the-city feel. Cool off between temple visits and mall excursions, taking advantage of the pool and easy access to the Skytrain. Nara House features a private plunge pool and skyline views, a fine location where sunset becomes an unhurried nightly ritual.
A City of Masterpieces
Rosewood Amsterdam
Amsterdam rewards the curious. Within the UNESCO-listed Canal District, 17th-century merchant houses line waterways carved during the Golden Age, while the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum house centuries of artistic vision within walking distance. Rosewood Amsterdam settles into this rhythm of discovery from the former Palace of Justice, a landmark reimagined by Piet Boon. As a base for cultural discovery, it places you at the heart of the neighborhoods, ready to know the city the way its residents do.
A Cultural Enclave
Rosewood São Paulo
Rosewood São Paulo channels the city’s creative pulse into courtyards, terraces and a rooftop pool with panoramic views. Combine museum visits with hours by the water, slip up to the roof for golden-hour swims and cocktails overlooking the metropolis. A late-afternoon lap in the pool followed by a drink under the sky can offer a compelling alternative to the usual city sprint.
