URBAN ESCAPESA SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE

ANDREW HARPER TRAVELER MAGAZINE

Even the most metropolitan-mannered among us tire of the daily traffic, endless noise and rote familiarity of our urban areas from time to time; yet sometimes you don’t even have to leave the city to escape it. From a New Orleans hideaway to a historic Florentine villa to Germany’s premier health spa, the following Andrew Harper Alliance partners provide an ideal respite from the hustle and bustle of modern city living—with exclusive bonuses for our members to boot.

Brenners Park-Hotel & SpaBADEN-BADEN, GERMANY – A world away and yet just a short drive from Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Strasbourg, this peaceful and rejuvenating paradise in Baden-Baden offers an inviting and classic oasis that belies its proximity to popular urban areas. With no more than 104 guest rooms in use, the pioneering grand hotel retains an intimate, private charm. Use the grounds as a restorative base from which to venture out and explore the thermal baths of Friedrichsbad and Caracalla Therme in Baden-Baden; hike and bike through the winding trails of the enchanting Black Forest; watch the horses at Iffezheim; or even paraglide from renowned Merkur Mountain.

For the true escapist, the Villa Stéphanie on the hotel’s grounds provides the height of

seclusion and well-being. Fifteen rooms set over five floors preserve the character of a private

home, featuring the option to create an atmosphere completely free of “e-smog” or electronic

and digital distractions with the push of a button. Within the villa, guests can access

soothing and cutting-edge spa and health treatments in a serene environment that includes

a 1,600-square-foot sauna and hammam, personalized physiotherapy, plunge pool, gym and

a large, Roman-style indoor pool—all a welcome addition to Baden-Baden’s 2,000-year

reputation as the pinnacle of rest and relaxation. Recommended since 1985.
