Wellness When a night cocooned in Egyptian cotton isn’t enough comfort for you, seek out a suite catering to wellness. Though multifaceted spa and treatment areas are a given, these suites go the extra mile By Samantha Coles

This Art Deco-inspired suite occupies the 51st floor of The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, so the views over the Bund and Oriental Pearl Tower are exceptional — perhaps enjoyed best from the oversize soaking tub with a glass of champagne in hand. There’s also a Jacuzzi, sauna, gym, library, study, 10-person dining room and martini bar within the 4,413-sq-ft, one-bedroom space. Visit over the weekend to make the most of the 6pm caviar party, then hop in a limousine (there’s complimentary service for guests of the suite) to explore the surrounding nightlife. From $15,675 per night. Contact Alessio Minetto, hotel manager, sharz.leads@ritzcarlton.com, +86 212 020 1888, ritzcarlton.com THE RITZ-CARLTON SUITE THE RITZ-CARLTON, SHANGHAI

PRESIDENTIAL SUITE HOTEL PRINCIPE DI SAVOIA, MILAN The Presidential Suite is absolutely one-of-a-kind. It’s instantly recognizable (you might have spotted it in the award-winning Somewhere, directed by Sofia Coppola) from the lavishMilanese interiors to the private terrace running the entire length of the 10th floor to the unmistakable Pompeii-style swimming pool. Set beneath a hand-painted and mosaic-tiled lounge, the swimming pool, sauna and Turkish bath are not only see-it-to-believe-it beautiful but also wonderfully calm. Enjoy a post-dip cocktail, served by the suite’s butler. From$20,000 per night.

THE CHALET CHEVAL BLANC COURCHEVEL, FRANCE

Prepare for a day of skiing at The Chalet’s private ski salon that has direct access to the pistes of Courchevel. After a day on the slopes, head to the in-suite spa treatment room—we recommend the extreme-altitude treatment. Specially designed for skiers, the treatment combines a facial that gives your skin a radiant glow by individually working the facial muscles and a body treatment using toning movements to strengthen muscles and release tension. The three-bedroom chalet spans 3,390 sq ft over four floors and includes a huge living area with cozy fireplace, a dining room, private screening room, relaxation lounge, sauna and hot tub. From $11,300 per night. Contact Romain Meiran, general manager, info.courchevel@chevalblanc.com, +33 479 005 050, chevalblanc.com
