    This winter, if you are craving to escape somewhere that is tropical, elegant, and definitely splurge-worthy, consider the One&Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas. Since the Ocean Club was featured in the James Bond flick Casino Royale just a couple of years back, fans of Bond (or maybe just Daniel Craig) may already feel familiar with the resort's hushed decadence and luxe British colonial decor. Luckily, you don't have to be a dashing British spy to enjoy this fabulous resort located, very fittingly, on Paradise Island. What was once a private estate and mid-1900's Hollywood hot spot, the "Club" is now an enchanting escape and island playground for the adventurous travelers, the spa-lovers, the golfers, and the gourmands alike. Craving relaxation? Then grab a good book, a beach towel, and a frozen drink and spend the day on the resort's pristine and private alabaster beach. Craving excitement? Then walk next door to the neighboring 18-hole championship golf course, or stay resort-side to try some jet-skiing, snorkeling, or exploring of the Club's stunningly landscaped Versailles gardens. Enjoy High Tea, complimentary afternoon champagne (served by butlers, of course), and at sundown head over to the beachside restaurant, Dune, for cocktails and critically-acclaimed French-Colonial cuisine. So whether you come to the eat caviar and stay in one of the Club's private villas just like your favorite British secret agent, or if you are simply craving a chic yet exotic getaway, consider Bahamas hot spot the One&Only Ocean Club.

    Mexico's La Purificadora Hotel Serves Up A Refreshing Place ...

    Who would have ever envisioned that a colonial-era water purification plant in Pueblo, Mexico, could one day be transformed into a modern sanctuary? Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta had both the vision and the talent to transform the original 1884 structure into its current state, La Purificadora, a stylish 26-guest room architectural masterpiece and colonial oasis. When designing the hotel, Legorreta drew inspiration from the original structure's purpose by using "purity" as the guiding theme in his design. The 3-story open-air lobby of La Purificadora may be minimalistic in color (only black, white, and purple are used), but it's not without industrial-sized drama by means of a stone staircase that floats majestically down to the main entry below. All 26 of the guest rooms are filled with colonial influence, contemporary flavor, and spectacular views of the city. Tranquil water served as the inspiration for the rooftop terrace's 30-meter glass-sided lap pool, as well as the glass closets in guest rooms, and the glass balconies that can be found throughout the hotel. And what stylish new hotel can be complete without a trendy on-site restaurant? Well, La Purificadora's no exception. The hotel's ground floor restaurant serves up gourmet versions up regional Mexican specialties like mole-rubbed beef and conchinita pibil. So the next time that you're craving a getaway like you crave a tall and refreshing glass of water, consider paying a visit to La Purificadora.
