Now that the summer of 2020 is behind us and our fall exotic vacation plans are still tentative, just remember that a restorative, pampering, and delightfully stylish retreat is always well deserved, especially after the last few months. Once you embrace the fact that working remotely does not mean you have to be stuck at home the world is your oyster. A fall road trip is a perfect way to indulge your wanderlust.
While the summer of uncertainty will soon be behind us and while our far away vacation plans are still tentative remember you’re restorative, pampering, and delightfully stylish retreat has been well earned. Once you embrace the fact that working remotely does not mean you have to be stuck at home the world becomes your oyster. Understanding that you deserve a stunning view from your desk, waterside cocktails, lively Mediterranean dining, and pampering mid-afternoon world-class spa treatments is the first step to enjoying the fruits of your labors. Perhaps it is a mid-week escape? Set up your desk amid the unparalleled luxury and uncomplicated elegance in an exceptional hotel.
We did just that at the Delamar Greenwich Harbor Hotel, which is just a short Bentley trip away from New York City. Surprisingly this magical bit of the South of France on Greenwich Harbor is a simple Uber, drive, or train ride away and the hotel’s complimentary Telsa Shuttle at the ready. The Delamar Greenwich Harbor Hotel is an intimate 82-guest room and suite hotel outfitted with sun-filled luxurious European country appointments. Harborside rooms and suites all feature private balconies and with views framed by the sunny Mediterranean décor accented with luxurious jewel tone accents. The quiet harbor offers a delightful backdrop for multi-tasking especially when daydreaming is task number one.
Put a ‘do not disturb’ sign on your desk chair and head to the Delamar Spa, located on the hotel’s second floor. At this leading spa, the professional, friendly, and expert therapist and estheticians will pamper you and truly take you away. The fine array of exclusive products from renowned Valmont and Biologique Recherche are used in the world-class treatments. The Delamar Spa also features a hair, nail, and make-up salon which might be a great stop before a big night out, just downstairs.
The notable and acclaimed L’escale restaurant is a Greenwich institution, highly regarded for its cuisine, stunning French country decorated dining room, lively bar scene, and seasonal waterfront dining on the 500-foot dock. We enjoyed the hotel’s bespoke “Film Noir Cocktails” and bacon-wrapped dates from our Louis XVI-style armchairs inside the Lounge before moving outside for local Black Bass Bouillabaisse and Prime Hanger Steak Frites. Also to note, Le Bar a Huiters menu includes a decadent seafood Plateau Degustation and a Caviar selection. Whether you order ala carte or from the Prix Fixe menu take your time and enjoy both warm ambiance indoors, or the alfresco views from the deck and take in the crowd around you. L’escale is one of Greenwich’s most exclusive spots to ‘see and be seen’ and a delightful spot for friendly conversations among guests.
Our last two insider tips for visiting the DELAMAR Harbor Hotel are simple – watch and walk.
Take a stroll down Steamboat Road to the peninsulas’ end to take in the expansive views of Long Island Sound. Secondly, keep your eyes on the Piano in the hotel’s lobby. Famous Greenwich artists have been known to boat over to the hotel for lunch or dinner at L’escale and finished with impromptu recitals. Delamar Greenwich Harbor.
