Sardinia is a stylish Italian isle with miles of spectacular sands, stunning shoreside restaurants and the historical capital of Cagliari to explore. Overlooking Chia Bay, Conrad Chia Laguna Sardinia has a variety of exclusive experiences to enhance your stay. The hotel features private beach clubs on the stunning Monte Cogoni and Le Dune beaches, with plush cabanas just steps from the sparkling sea. To truly get the most out of your surroundings, the concierge can arrange a private yacht tour around Chia Bay, guided horseback riding, wine tastings and e-bike tours or simply indulge in a relaxing treatment at Conrad Spa. In the evening, dine on Mediterranean and Sardinian cuisine with perfectly paired local wines or expertly crafted cocktails at the resort’s eight restaurants and bars.

The fall and spring months are an inspired time to vacation in the Italian capital, when Rome’s most popular tourist sites — like the Vatican Museums, Colosseum and St. Peter’s Basilica — are less crowded. Set on 15 acres (6 hectares) of greenery on the city’s highest hill, the opulent Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel, is elevated in every sense, serving up both picturesque views of the Eternal City and extraordinary service. The concierge can arrange bespoke experiences like test driving an Italian supercar or a private tour of the Sistine Chapel. Back at the hotel, pamper yourself with a treatment at the award-winning Cavalieri Grand Spa Club complete with plunge pools and an amethyst Turkish bath. End the day with dinner at the property’s three-Michelin starred restaurant, La Pergola.

With its quaint cobbled streets, atmospheric canals and world-class museums, including the Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum, the Dutch capital is perfect for an off-peak cultural escape. At Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, you’ll be on the historical Herengracht Canal in the city’s UNESCO-listed center. This five-star property is housed in two elegant former palaces, and the regal air remains. Upon arrival, the hotel’s scent program offers guests the opportunity to select a fragrance for turndown service. Take a relaxing stroll in the private courtyard garden or unwind at Guerlain Spa, offering bespoke treatments and an indoor pool. For a true culinary journey, the seven-course tasting menu at the two Michelin-starred Spectrum is a special treat featuring inventive dishes like langoustines prepared with cacao, chipotle and kaffir.
