After a day on the slopes, nurture sore muscles at the spa (trust) before a locally sourced, hearty dinner at Black Iron Kitchen + Bar.

Hotel de Rome, a Rocco Forte Hotel: 3rd night free

Despite its name, you'll find this playful, luxe hotel in Berlin, on Bebelplatz, the city's famed public square. The hotel is housed in a handsome 19th-century Dresden Bank, and I love how pops of color and eclectic patterns vibrantly juxtapose the building's historic bones. After a day of exploring, dinner at Chiaro, Hotel de Rome's excellent Italian restaurant, is a must.

Fora Perks:

• $100 hotel / resort credit.
