The Four Seasons Hotel Boston embodies timeless elegance and personal significance. Located downtown beside the iconic Public Garden and Boston Common, it radiates charm and sophistication. My husband and I celebrated our wedding reception here one snowy March evening, a memory made unforgettable by impeccable service. Since moving away from Boston, we’ve returned often, building cherished traditions: cookie-baking classes with Executive Pastry Chef Tim, meals at Aujourd’hui, and Teddy Bear Teas with grandparents. True luxury lies in the sense of belonging that connects us to places, moments, and each other. More than a hotel, this place is where many of my family’s treasured stories were written—and where I look forward to creating new memories.
Another destination close to my heart is the Amalfi Coast, with its timeless beauty and sunlit charm. This enchanting Italian coastline, with winding roads and cascading cliffs, is both indulgent and welcoming. Ravello’s tranquil gardens, Positano’s vibrant boutiques, and the region’s crystalline waters create a perfect symphony of experiences. Among these, Caruso, a Belmond Hotel, is a sanctuary perched high above the azure sea. Its terraced gardens and infinity pool overlooking the horizon make every visit a celebration of indulgence. These destinations connect me to the elegance of travel and the unforgettable moments that linger long after the journey ends. Luxury isn’t just in the sights—it’s in the memories created and shared.
Wake up early. Walk the property. Sit and take in breathtaking views—mountains, water, or city. Enjoy a perfect cappuccino. Listen to a world not yet awake. Begin an action-packed day filled with adventure. Blend discovery, movement, and inspiration—hike a trail, explore a city neighborhood, take a class, enjoy a boat ride, visit markets, ride a horse, tour a vineyard, wander through a museum, spot wildlife on safari, indulge in high-end shopping, or attend a concert or festival. Observe cultural nuances and interactions. Meet locals. Learn something new. Stay curious and active. Enjoy a second cappuccino.
As the sun sets, dine at a fine restaurant with friends—old or new. Sip red wine by the fire. Hear the soothing sounds of waves, a foreign language, or soft piano notes. Engage in lively discussions; no topic is off-limits. Respect differences, share laughter, and savor connections. End the day feeling content and grateful—this place now belongs to you, and you to it. A perfect day, indeed.
Keep up with the places that deserve more than a bookmark, but a check-in.
