Specifically, we’ll take a whirlwind tour of Rosewood Hotel Georgia in Vancouver, Rosewood Le Guananhani in St. Barth (opening in October), and Rosewood Villa Magna in Madrid. What a truly yummy group of destinations to peruse this Wednesday!
Every week we make things a little more playful by asking our call participants to go all-in with our theme. This week’s theme is ‘Everything’s Coming Up Roses!’ so anything goes as it pertains to roses, flowers in general, gardening or even representing your favorite flower’s colors! Dress in your favorite gardener’s gear, wind some vine around yourself, wear some flowers in your hair (flower hair, don’t care)! Or is a little ‘fruit and veg’ more your gardening style? How about donning all of the colors of your favorite flowers? And of course, roses are de rigueur for this theme!

HELLO, MADRID
Santa Barbara’s South Coast is made up of the sunny cities of Santa Barbara and Goleta, as well as the communities of Montecito, Goleta and Summerland. Ever since the turn of the 20th century, Montecito has been cultivating a well-deserved reputation as an enclave of grand estates owned by the rich and famous. The Montecito Inn, founded by Charlie Chaplin, at the end of Coast Village Road, is still a favorite, along with the fine restaurants and chic shops that line the eucalyptus-shaded drag. The elegant Spanish-Moorish Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara continues to romance guests from its prime oceanfront location, and the San Ysidro Ranch remains a choice destination for lovers and others following in the steps of John and Jacqueline Kennedy, who honeymooned there. More recently, Oprah paid $50 million for the Montecito estate that serves as her West Coast headquarters.
FLAWLESS COMFORT
Warmth and hospitality grace every aspect of Rosewood Villa Magna’s accommodations—from their chic aesthetic and understated elegance, to the flawless comfort of the furniture and bedding, to the fine amenities that contribute to a seamless stay. Each of the 154 guestrooms and suites are a calm haven of understated luxury and cosmopolitan surroundings in the vibrant core of the Spanish capital.
