Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay
CERNAY-LA-VILLE, FRANCE
What best pays tribute to a legend? In the case of a 12th-century Cistercian abbey that was dissolved during the French Revolution and later revived by a Rothschild, it's a new life as the apogean French country house hotel. And what a new life it is, thanks to Parisian designer Cordélia de Castellane's dazzling interiors in partnership with Gallic powerhouses like Pierre Frey and Bernardaud.
Palazzo Durazzo Suites
GENOA, ITALY
