Quick hello ... I'm going to lurk around here a bit, just stumbled today on a link from a StRegis NYC thread.

Points have allowed my family to experience some luxury hotels, which opened a rabbit hole where we will splurge here and there on a trip... we've gotten a taste, as they say

Not sure I will be able to offer too much to the forum, but will hope to live vicariously through you all and also get some ideas and inspiration!

Lapland and seeing northern lights have been on the bucket list so this might push me to finally act!
Their Instagram gives a good idea of what it'll look like. Wish it was farther out in the water/lake.

The gardens are horribly regimented.

The gardens and fountains weren’t my problem. It was the vastness and decadence and assault on my senses of the Versailles interior...and concomitant crowds.

There are a lot of palaces and estates in Europe that clearly want to be Versailles.
