Situated on the banks of Lake Geneva, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel de la Paix, Geneva is the ultimate in European glamour. Enjoy quintessentially Swiss excursions, like a cruise on one of Europe’s largest lakes — paired with a backdrop of snowcapped Mont Blanc — and a cable-car ride up to the top of Mont Saleve, nicknamed the Balcony of Geneva for epic views of the lake and city below.

From its mountainside perch, The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage presents sweeping views of Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley during the day and a dramatic starlit sky come nightfall. Aptly named The Edge, the hotel’s cliff-side restaurant features floor-to-ceiling windows to take it all in over decadent steakhouse cuisine and a bottle of one of California’s renowned wines.

Indulge in an escape to Bali's cultural heart, Ubud, where rolling hills, a gentle river and verdant rice paddies make for a majestic backdrop at Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. Venture a bit further afield in a vintage VW convertible to experience the island's magic.
