When I think of the ultimate luxury hotel collection, I think of Oetker. Their properties are ultra-chic and timeless (private Caribbean island resort, anyone?). It's true: Oetker Collection hotels are the real *chef's kiss.*
I've admired them since the beginning — which is why I could not be more excited to announce that Fora has officially joined Oetker Pearl, the collection's invitation-only preferred partner program. When you book with Fora, you'll receive exclusive benefits and VIP status at Oetker's 12 magical hotels around the world, from the South of France to São Paulo.
Read on to discover just a few of the hotels I'm dreaming of. Then, connect with me to plan & book your stay at an Oetker property today. See you in St. Barth's...
The Woodward

This all-suite hotel on the banks of Lake Geneva is housed in a handsome 20th-century building. It's the perfect home base from which to explore the town and alpine scenery (for a true fairytale moment, spend the afternoon boating on the lake). But I'd be lying if I said we didn't dream of spending the entire day at the hotel. My dream itinerary? Full-on pampering at The Woodward's Guerlain Spa, followed by a Michelin-Starred dinner at L’Atelier Robuchon.

Eden Rock – St Barths

This glamorous Caribbean getaway has hosted some the biggest stars in Hollywood. Today, its hyper-attentive service and vibrancy persist. The resort's contemporary style and laid-back atmosphere make it perfect for couples, families and solo travelers alike. Lounge the day away on a white-sand beach, explore the local boutiques, indulge in a reiki massage and cap it all off with dinner at the hotel's Sand Bar, helmed by none other than Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.

Le Bristol Paris

Paris is always a good idea. An even better one? Le Bristol Paris. From its prime location on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré to its très chic courtyard and rooftop pool, Le Bristol is Paris' crème-de-la-crème. This Parisian icon is also home to Epicure, a destination restaurant with no fewer than three (!) Michelin Stars. My bags are already packed.

Hotel La Palma

Oetker is heading to Italy, and we're already planning our trip to Hotel La Palma, slated to open this year. Capri's first hotel has been reimagined to house this 50-room retreat. As with all Oetker properties, Hotel La Palma is the perfect blend of sophistication and style. And with a private beach club, rooftop bar and restaurant and luxury boutique in the books? Say less.

Palácio Tangará

Palácio Tangará is the place to stay in São Paulo — and Brazil, for that matter. It's surrounded by Burle Marx Park, an oasis in Latin America's largest city. The hotel provides serenity and seclusion without straying too far from São Paulo's energy, and it's minutes away from some of the city's best museums, shopping and dining. But I can't get over the unbelievable Tangará Jean-Georges, the eponymous chef's only South American restaurant, or the out-of-this-world Lancôme Absolue Spa. (Facials by Lancôme? Yes, please.)
