Mine include:
1) FS Florence - beautiful property right in the middle of Florence with an outdoor swimming pool and park..
2) FS Bosphorus - right next to the Bosphorus river - gorgeous outdoor pool.

How do you define a city resort?

What are the basic requirements of a resort that would differentiate it from a hotel? A spa, outdoor pool, golf course, or tennis courts?

I would like to add the Waldorf Astoria in Rome, The Westcliff in Johannesburg and the Metropole in Monaco.

And if Chiang Mai qualifies as a city: my overall favourite, the Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi.

I see it's not only OMNI/PR that you post nonsense.

My wife and I really enjoyed the Ritz Carlton Singapore, and I'm not sure if it would be considered a resort in a city, but the Park Hyatt Chicago is one of our favorite city hotels.

I'll keep it local for a change[to me] and say the four seasons Dublin or the Merrion Dublin or the wonderfull Hayfield manor in Cork.

Funnily enough, my Swiss friends hate The Dolder's new look, but everyone else I know loves it, and that includes me. It is much more 'authentic' than it was when it had those frightful 1960's wings - now thankfully demolished.
