A New Chapter in Venetian Grandeur

For the first time, Airelles brings its distinctive art of living to Italy, introducing a new Maison to one of the world's most enchanting cities. Set on the island of Giudecca, facing St. Mark's Square across the lagoon, Airelles Palladio, Venice occupies a historic 16th-century property surrounded by gardens. Here, the brand's signature approach to hospitality meets the extraordinary heritage of La Serenissima, creating a secluded retreat from which to discover Venice from a more intimate perspective.

Venetian Craftsmanship & Contemporary Elegance

Inspired by the city's artistic legacy, the interiors celebrate a dialogue between traditional Venetian craftsmanship and contemporary refinement. Hand-painted frescoes, precious fabrics by Rubelli and Fortuny, and carefully selected antique furniture lend distinctive character to the accommodation. The Maison comprises 17 rooms, 28 suites and a private three-bedroom villa, each designed to evoke the elegance of a historic Venetian residence. Throughout, an atmosphere of understated grandeur and quiet serenity offers a welcome counterpoint to the city's lively streets and canals.

The Secret Side of La Serenissima

Across the water from St. Mark's Square, Giudecca reveals a different side of Venice. Long favoured by Venetian aristocrats and artists, the island combines historic beauty with a more relaxed, creative spirit. Its gardens, waterfront promenades and quieter canals offer a glimpse of a Venice beyond the familiar landmarks. From its privileged setting, Airelles Palladio invites guests to experience both the city's celebrated treasures and its more secluded corners.

A World of Culinary Discoveries

Gastronomy takes centre stage, with a collection of dining experiences spanning distinct culinary traditions. At abc kitchens, contemporary elegance shapes a versatile dining concept, while Villa Frollo by Norbert Niederkofler brings the acclaimed chef's culinary vision to Venice. Matsuhisa by Nobu combines Japanese precision with Peruvian influences, and celebrated pastry chef Cédric Grolet adds an artful dimension to the sweeter side of the experience. Together, the venues create a varied culinary destination that reflects Airelles' appetite for craftsmanship, creativity and exceptional dining.

A Distinctive Venetian Spa

The Maison is also home to what is described as Venice's largest spa, conceived as a sanctuary dedicated to restoration and wellbeing. Venetian artistry meets exclusive rituals and signature treatments in an environment designed to encourage a deeper sense of calm. Rooted in the Airelles philosophy of personalised hospitality, the experience offers a restorative escape within the historic fabric of the city.

The Airelles Art of Living in Venice

With its historic architecture, garden setting, exceptional gastronomy and expansive spa, Airelles Palladio, Venice offers a distinctive interpretation of luxury on the lagoon. Combining the intimacy of a private residence with the richness of a grand Maison, it invites guests to discover Venice through a more secluded, immersive and quietly extraordinary lens.

Villa Pétrusse – A Hidden Jewel in Luxembourg City
Once the illustrious Villa Baldauff, this 19th-century bourgeois residence sat abandoned for years before being reborn as one of Luxembourg City’s most captivating retreats. Set within a lush park of century-old trees along the Pétrusse River—and with views of the iconic Adolphe Bridge—it stands opposite the Edouard André English Park, offering guests an extraordinary blend of heritage and nature in the heart of the old town.

Originally conceived as an intimate private home, Villa Pétrusse now welcomes guests to 22 elegant rooms, including suites and a penthouse, spread across the historic Villa, the reimagined Pavillon (once the estate’s stables), and an inner courtyard overlooking the fountain-kissed park. This serene setting creates a rare and privileged escape amid the city’s vibrant energy.

The hotel’s culinary centerpiece, Le Lys, is a new gastronomic landmark in Luxembourg. Blending ambiance, design, and creativity, it offers a spectrum of dining experiences—from a romantic dinner for two, to a discreet business lunch, to a convivial tasting at the Chef’s Table—each tailored to make every occasion unforgettable.

A Contemporary Sanctuary in Historic Kyoto

In Kyoto, where centuries-old traditions remain woven into everyday life, Capella Kyoto offers an intimate encounter with the city's cultural soul. Set in the historic Miyagawa-cho district, steps from the revered Kaburenjo theatre and beside Kenninji Temple, Kyoto's oldest Zen Buddhist temple, the hotel draws inspiration from the architecture and spirit of the traditional machiya townhouse. Here, the artistry of the past is reinterpreted through contemporary design and immersive cultural experiences, creating a stay deeply connected to Kyoto's enduring heritage.

Rooms Framed by Japanese Artistry

Rising four storeys around a tranquil courtyard and a gently flowing water feature, Capella Kyoto comprises 89 rooms and suites, each measuring at least 50 square metres. Japanese artworks, carefully selected artefacts and considered materials bring a sense of authenticity to the interiors, while the courtyard provides a peaceful focal point amid the city. Among the 29 suites, six exclusive Onsen Suites offer the rare pleasure of private bathing inspired by Japan's centuries-old hot spring traditions, reimagined for contemporary luxury.

A Culinary Dialogue Between Kyoto & Sonoma

Dining at Capella Kyoto unfolds across three distinctive venues, each shaped by craftsmanship, seasonality and a sense of connection. A highlight is SoNoMa by SingleThread, an intimate collaboration with Kyle Connaughton and Head Farmer Katina Connaughton of the three-Michelin-starred SingleThread in Sonoma, California. Created exclusively for Capella Kyoto, the experience brings together the finest seasonal ingredients from Kyoto with the culinary philosophy and agricultural ethos of Sonoma, creating a thoughtful dialogue between two distinctive food cultures.

Wellness Rooted in Japanese Tradition

At Auriga Spa, Japanese wellness traditions meet contemporary treatments in a sanctuary devoted to restoring balance and awakening the senses. Drawing on the country's rich heritage of restorative rituals, the spa combines time-honoured practices with modern wellness techniques and carefully selected premium treatments. The atmosphere is designed to encourage stillness, offering a welcome retreat after a day spent exploring Kyoto's temples, gardens and historic streets.

The Enduring Soul of Kyoto

Capella Kyoto brings together the intimacy of traditional Japanese architecture, the work of master craftspeople and a contemporary approach to luxury hospitality. From its peaceful courtyard and private Onsen Suites to its distinctive culinary collaborations and restorative spa, every element reflects a thoughtful connection to place. The result is a refined cultural retreat where Kyoto's thousand-year legacy can be experienced in a fresh and deeply personal way.

A Rural Sanctuary in the Heart of Gallura

Set amid the rolling countryside of northern Sardinia, Cascioni takes its name from the estate that surrounds it, a fertile landscape of gentle hills, flowering meadows and cultivated fields. Here, olive groves, fragrant herbs, orchards and swaying alfalfa define the scenery, while a winding stream flows towards the Saloni Lagoon, a protected natural sanctuary where freshwater meets the sea. This is Sardinia at its most peaceful, where the rhythms of rural life and the beauty of the Mediterranean landscape shape every experience.

Suites Rooted in Sardinian Heritage

Intimate in scale and designed for discerning travellers, Cascioni offers a carefully curated collection of rooms and suites, each bearing a Sardinian name that reflects the island’s rich rural heritage. Private porticos and gardens extend the living spaces outdoors, while the suites feature their own private pools. Inside, natural materials, muted tones and understated design create an atmosphere of contemporary elegance infused with an unmistakable Sardinian identity.

Farm-to-Table Dining at Ulìa

At Ulìa Ristorante Naturale, Chef Salvatore Camedda draws inspiration directly from the estate’s harvest. Honey, seasonal vegetables, aromatic herbs, fruit, grains and olive oil become the foundations of a culinary experience deeply connected to the surrounding land. Traditional Sardinian influences meet a lighter, more creative approach, allowing the natural character of each ingredient to shine through. Every dish tells a story of place, seasonality and respect for the landscape.

Wellness Inspired by the Mediterranean

Wellbeing is woven into the experience at Cascioni, culminating in the Spa Mediterranea, a tranquil sanctuary inspired by Sardinia’s natural riches and unhurried way of life. Beyond the spa, an outdoor pool, garden yoga sessions and Pilates on a wooden deck offer restorative ways to reconnect with body and mind, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the estate.

Discovering the Estate at Your Own Pace

The landscape invites exploration, whether on foot, by bicycle or from the water. Follow the Cascioni trails on a peaceful walk or invigorating run, cycle beneath the trees to the sound of birdsong, or pause to observe bees and dragonflies moving through the countryside. At the Saloni Lagoon, kayaking through the reeds offers a particularly serene encounter with the protected natural environment, where the gentle movement of the water and the surrounding wildlife set the pace.

The Quiet Beauty of Sardinian Living

Cascioni offers a distinctive expression of rural Sardinia, bringing together intimate accommodation, ingredient-led cuisine and thoughtful wellness within a landscape rich in natural beauty. Here, luxury is found in the connection to the land, the pleasure of seasonal flavours and the freedom to experience the island at a slower, more meaningful pace.

Where Mountains Meet the Desert
Set within an awe-inspiring landscape of ancient rock and open desert, Desert Rock is a resort unlike any other. Here, villas are carved seamlessly into the terrain, creating a rare harmony between architecture and nature—where adventure and stillness coexist effortlessly.

A Landscape for Discovery
Spanning 30,000 square metres of raw, untamed beauty, Desert Rock is an extraordinary base for desert explorations, mountain expeditions, or quiet moments of reflection. Every day unfolds at your own pace, shaped by the magnitude and drama of the surrounding landscape.

Private Sanctuaries
Unparalleled tranquility and privacy define the experience. Spacious suites and villas are thoughtfully designed to embrace their natural setting, each offering a private pool and secluded outdoor spaces that invite calm, contemplation, and uninterrupted relaxation.

The Spirit of Hafawah
Guests are welcomed with genuine Saudi hospitality, guided by the spirit of hafawah—warmth, generosity and care. Dedicated Villa Hosts curate each stay with precision and heart, from adrenaline-fueled adventures and desert discoveries to restorative spa rituals and intimate dining beneath star-filled skies.

Flavours of the Desert
Dining at Desert Rock is an experience shaped by place and fire. Nyra celebrates primal wood-fired cooking with locally sourced ingredients, while MICA delivers inventive cocktails inspired by the landscape. Basalt offers comforting, elevated cuisine, and Wadi brings a vibrant poolside atmosphere—each venue capturing the essence of this remarkable destination.
