Soak It Up

Hotels are telling us to slow down and take to the tub.

- By Chloe Schama

I have a colleague who travels the world to report on hotels and parties. Her Instagram is a pastiche of how the other half lives— and by the other half I mean those without kids. But the post of hers that really made my heart race had little to do with far-flung social engagements or uninterrupted adult conversation: It showed her reclining in a tub, lauding the elegant setup at the new Fouquet’s hotel in New York. A bathing experience minus the squeak of rubber duckies—a truly tantalizing prospect.
