Maroma, a Belmond Hotel
Maroma is beautifully situated between the lush jungle of Riviera Maya and the tranquil Caribbean sea. The beachfront location of Maroma is unique to the area as most properties are set back from the beach. It truly feels like a Caribbean escape in the heart of Riviera Maya.
The resort boasts light, airy, art-filled rooms decorated in an indigenous style. Maroma is a secluded hideaway where guests can enjoy beachfront restaurants, artisanal mezcals (my new favorite cocktail), rare wines, fresh cuisine, and rejuvenation at the Guerlain spa.
the Cadogan, a Belmond Hotel
After two nights in the English countryside, I made my way into London. I was able to spend one night at the Cadogan, a Belmond Hotel, centrally located in Chelsea and close to incredible shopping in Knightsbridge.
From the moment I stepped foot inside the Cadogan I felt like I was in my home away from home. The lobby is a cozy environment with a roaring fireplace to warm guests on arrival. The Cadogan reopened in 2019 after an extensive restoration of the heritage building, which dates back to 1887. Featuring two dining outlets, LaLee and an elegant tea lounge, the Cadogan is a bit of an escape from the hustle and bustle of central London.
