"Set within 12 acres of lush gardens boasting more than a thousand plant varieties, this secluded hillside retreat blends old-world glamour with contemporary style across airy rooms and suites—many of which open directly onto the gardens. Intimate new food-and-beverage offerings (a patisserie for pastries and artisan coffee, plus a Living Room for afternoon tea and specialty cocktails) complement classic luxury touches and an atmosphere favored by generations of notable guests seeking privacy and refinement." - Chris Dong
