prints. Rooms are decorated in pastel hues and refined furnishings, and have
wonderful lake or garden views.
Hotel Belvedere, Lake Como, Italian Lakes, Italy
The hotel is set on a hillside among gorgeous tiered grounds shaded by
olive trees, commanding wonderful views of the Lecco arm of the lake. Rooms
are set in the main building or in villas dotted around the garden. The
atmosphere is relaxed and informal. Standard rooms feature classic Italian
furnishings with modern amenities, and some have direct access to the
gardens. Added little touches are what really make this place special, such
as the wicker baskets with books placed by the poolside.
Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, Lake Como, Italy
Location doesn’t get any better than this: the gardens of Villa
Serbelloni command wonderful views of the lake. The opulent interiors
recreate a 19th-century environment, with marble columns and staircases,
trompe l’oeil, and Murano chandeliers; walls are adorned with frescoes and
gilded frames, while ceilings have floral patterns in light hues of pink and
pearl-grey. The formal Michelin-starred Mistral serves sophisticated Italian
molecular cuisine, while the more informal La Goletta, themed like a boat,
offers traditional Italian dishes in a laid-back setting.
Villa d'Este hotel, Lake Como, Italy
Grand and traditional, calm and elegant. There are wide hallways and a
sweeping staircase, important sculptures, show-stopping flower arrangements
and a huge terrace that extends along the lake. The 152 rooms are divided
between those in the main Cardinal building, and those in the 19th century
Queen’s Pavilion. They are traditionally furnished with antiques, paintings,
vintage prints, silks, brocades and marble bathrooms. Facilities are legion,
with a beauty spa and a Sports Club, including indoor pool and tennis
courts, plus sailing and watersports on the lake.
LAKE GARDA
Lefay Resort, Lake Garda, Italy
Set in 27-acre grounds, the resort is crafted into the mountainside
above Gargnano, a pretty town with orange trees lining the lakefront. Rooms
feature local walnut and olive floors and Italian furnishings. Stone and
pink marble bathrooms have bathtub and shower with Lefay Spa toiletries. All
rooms have lake views. The resort’s award-winning spa comprises indoor and
outdoor heated salt-water pools, infinity pool, hammam, five saunas, a salt
lake and 21 massage rooms.
Grand Hotel a Villa Feltrinelli, Lake Garda
The entrance hall has coffered ceilings and original 19th-century carved
wooden benches, while the library has a wood-burning fireplace and shelves
lined with classic works of literature. The elegant salon overlooking the
lake has intricate frescoes, antique Venetian mirrors and Art Nouveau lamps.
With only 21 rooms, the atmosphere is intimate. Rooms have original antiques
and cream-coloured draperies, while walls are embellished with oil portraits
and historic prints. The two Michelin-starred restaurant serves exceptional
Italian cuisine and fresh lake fish dishes.
Hotel Villa Arcadio, Salò, Lake Garda, Italy
The hotel is located in a former convent dating from circa 13th century.
Original fresco details are visible throughout the villa, both in the
communal areas and in some of the rooms. With only 18 rooms, the atmosphere
is intimate and informal. Rooms, which feature original artworks, are
decorated in neutral colours, and have lake or garden views. The experienced
chef prepares excellent seasonal dishes with a twist using fresh ingredients
from the hotel’s vegetable and herb garden.
Locanda San Vigilio, Lake Garda, Italy
With only seven rooms and five suites, the atmosphere is intimate and
exclusive. Interiors are furnished with the owners’ private collection of
antiques, oriental rugs, 16th-century paintings and 18th-century prints. It
feels more like a private home than a hotel. Most rooms have parquet
flooring, wooden beams and crimson rugs, exuding a cosy rustic feel. The
Locanda San Vigilio restaurant serves traditional Italian cuisine in a
peaceful lakefront setting. There’s also an inviting swimming pool framed by
olive trees with lovely lake views.
LAKE ISEO
Relais I Due Roccoli hotel, Lake Iseo
The hotel has a wonderful setting on a hillside overlooking the lake. The
oldest part of the hotel is a medieval tower housed in a rustic farmhouse
that is today a restaurant. The main villa dates back to the 17th century
and has retained much of its original structure. Communal areas are
embellished with the owners’ private collection of paintings. Lake view
rooms are located in the main villa and decorated with antique pieces of
furniture; all have balconies or terraces.
LAKE MAGGIORE
Grand Hotel des Iles Borromees and Spa, Lake Maggiore
The hotel is on the lakefront of Stresa, a peaceful lakeside resort that
serves as the ideal base to explore the Borromean Islands. Interiors are
furnished in Italian Art Nouveau style. Six of the hotel corridors have been
transformed into miniature art galleries, with a collection of reproduction
of works of art dating back to the 15th century. Facilities include a tennis
court, three swimming pools, sauna, steam room, Japanese garden and a
state-of-the-art wellness spa.
Villa & Palazzo Aminta Hotel Beauty and Spa, Lake Maggiore
Formerly a private residence, the opulent interiors feature stuccos,
chandeliers and antiques. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds with
azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons; there’s an outdoor swimming pool and
private beach. All rooms have balconies or terraces with garden or lake
views, and feature Murano lamps and frescoes. The Palazzo Aminta Spa
features the Grotto Camelia, a dimly lit cave housing steam room, ice
waterfall, Aromarium and sensory showers alternating between hot and cold.
LAKE ORTA
Villa Crespi, Lake Orta, Italian Lakes, Italy
Resembling a Moorish palace, the building dates from 1879 when cotton
merchant Cristoforo Benigno Crespi, inspired by Baghdad’s architecture,
built a private villa on the shores of his native Lake Orta. Surrounded by
verdant gardens, the villa has its own minaret, while the interiors resemble
an emir’s palace, with intricate handmade stucco motifs and marble columns.
The warm, elegant rooms retain their original parquet flooring, and are
embellished with rich fabrics and drapes. Renowned chef Antonino
Cannavacciuolo runs the hotel’s excellent two Michelin-starred restaurant.
CITIES
VENICE
The Gritti Palace, Venice, Italy.
The hotel occupies a palace that dates from 1475 and was owned by Andrea
Gritti, doge of Venice from 1523 to 1538. Three years ago it emerged from a
15-month restoration that involved the revamping of the entire building,
including the rooms, the restoration all of the hotel’s hundreds of precious
paintings and other artefacts, and the addition of a small (two double
treatment rooms) but exquisite Acqua di Parma spa. The Club de Doge
restaurant has one of the most beautiful dining rooms in this or any other
city.
Aman Venice
Venice, Veneto, Italy
Guests can arrive by boat to enter by the formal 'porta d’acqua’ into a
vast, beamed reception with marble chequered flooring and original frescos.
A trompe-l’oeil grand staircase leads up to the piano nobile and rococo
ballroom with gilt mirrors, frescos, Murano chandeliers, terrazzo floor and
windows overlooking the canal. Dining room, bar and salons have sumptuous
Rubelli silk wall coverings, oil paintings and carved stone fireplaces with
bowls of exotic white amaryllis as table centrepieces.
Mr & Mrs Smith
Belmond Hotel Cipriani, Venice
The feel here is luxuriously elegant modern classic with lots of Venetian
touches, rather than atmospheric historic pile. There are 79 rooms and
suites in the main hotel and all have private balconies, gorgeous fabrics,
Fortuny light fittings and sumptuous bathrooms. The Cip’s Club restaurant,
on the lagoon-side walk of the Giudecca canal, is an informal dining option;
for something more elegant, there’s the Oro restaurant inside. A spa,
exclusive on-site boutiques, extensive gardens and a huge swimming pool
complete the picture.
FLORENCE
Four Seasons Hotel Firenze
Florence, Tuscany, Italy
As soon as you walk into the lobby – a Renaissance loggia, decorated with
original bas reliefs and stuccoes – you realise that this is no ordinary
luxe kip. The hotel spreads out between the main building – 15th-century
Palazzo della Gherardesca – and a 16th-century former convent on the other
side of the 11-acre park, which is the largest private garden in Florence.
With its oil paintings, antiques and slightly Old Parisian décor, it’s all
elegantly sumptuous, and in the best possible haute-bourgeois taste.
J.K. Place Firenze, Florence, Italy
A distillation of Florentine elegance, the classic-contemporary décor is
the result of a meeting of minds between Italo-Israeli hotelier Ori Kafri
and local interior designer Michele Bonan. It all feels a little like you’ve
stepped into the house of a classy collector, a rich Florentine uncle who
likes to set classical French and Italian antiques off against Moroccan
lamps and Chinese lacquered sideboards. The hotel restaurant, J.K. Lounge,
gets the balance between smart and informal just right.
Villa Cora
The main villa at the centre of the estate is an astonishing sight, an
opulent riot of trompe l’oeil frescoes, stucco-work, huge mirrors, polished
parquet floors and chandeliers, in a series of reception rooms that mix
styles from Art Nouveau to neo-Moorish. Connected by a tunnel (handy if it’s
raining), smaller guesthouse Villino Eugenia houses a third of the hotel’s
46 rooms, as well as the deliciously operatic spa. The large park that
surrounds the two buildings boasts more than 100 varieties of rose.
ROME
Babuino 181 hotel, Rome, Italy
A home away from home, the intimate vibe is emulated in Babuino 181’s
Back-to-the-Future décor. Original ornament details, such as the townhouse’s
restored marble staircase and cast-iron railing, and Art Deco reproductions
intermingle with contemporary art and photographs, while the earth-tone
palette keeps the vibe calm and cosy. The 14 rooms and suites are dreamy
hideouts of Frette linens, king-sized beds, comfortable couches, large
windows, and natural woods blending with the hotel’s delicious warm tones of
umbers, ochres and beiges.
Villa Spalletti Trivelli, Rome, Italy
Imagine having an antique- and art-stuffed palazzo, complete with
elegant formal garden, that has been in your family for over a century – a
place with opulent interiors of such historic significance that they are
listed by the Italian heritage ministry. Well here, rather than imagining
it, you can experience it. If the museum-like reception rooms downstairs
inspire a certain don’t-touch awe, the 12 first-floor bedrooms are warm and
welcoming with their rich fabrics, pastel hued walls and bedcovers, Fiandra
linen sheets and alpaca or cashmere throws.
Residenza Napoleone III Hotel, Rome, Italy
Some hotels model themselves on stately homes or aristocratic
townhouses; Residenza Napoleone III is one. The Old Master paintings you see
on the walls, the busts of Roman emperors that line the grand entrance
staircase, the heirloom antiques that decorate the place – all these things
have been in the Ruspoli family for generations. But this is no draughty
castle – it feels warm despite the grand setting. A fresh, organic breakfast
is served on Bulgari silverware by the maid, at an hour of your choosing.
J.K. Place Roma, Rome, Italy
The design – based on a discreet, quietly opulent Dolce Vita retro look
– is as impressive in the bedrooms as it is in the downstairs communal
areas. The ground floor feels a little like a stylish contemporary
gentleman’s club – especially the chic little lounge/library. If the décor
nods, in parts, towards the Orient, the food looks more to Manhattan, with a
range of burgers, club sandwiches and main-course salads, backed up by a
trusty range of Italian stalwarts. This is a place that lends itself to
cocktails – just as well as they’re excellent.
MILAN
The Yard Milano, Milan, Italy
The modish interiors feature sporting items that over the years the
owner has collected from European flea markets. Each room is themed after a
different sport, from hunting to motorcycling, and appointed with unique
pieces of furniture, such as antique mahogany chests and cocktail cabinets.
Most rooms have private balconies. The hotel’s lounge bar attracts a hip
crowd.
Mandarin Oriental hotel, Milan, Italy
The hotel occupies four 18th-century buildings, formerly the
headquarters of a bank. Interiors aim to recreate a Milanese residence of
the early 20th century, with mellow pastel-coloured walls and an open-plan
fireplace complemented by Oriental-inspired details that echo the hotel
group’s Far Eastern heritage. Purple and beige dominate in the rooms, with
plum-coloured armchairs and velvet textiles complemented by smoky linen
curtains. With its black and white geometric mosaic patterns, the Mandarin
Bar is a modish spot for an aperitivo or cocktail.
Park Hyatt Milan
Location doesn’t get any better than this. The hotel is in the heart of
Milan overlooking the sumptuous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping
arcade and located within a beautiful palazzo that dates back to 1870.
Interiors feature sophisticated classical décor with cream-coloured
travertine and black marble throughout. Travertine marble with black inlays
and Venetian stucco dominate the 106 rooms and suites. All rooms have
king-sized beds and most have hand-blown Murano lamps. Michelin-starred VUN
restaurant offers exceptional Italian cuisine with a twist.
Bulgari Milan
Set in a leafy private garden in Brera, Milan’s artists’ quarter, the
hotel enjoys a wonderfully tranquil location. Interiors are stylish and
contemporary with black marble and granite, bronze, teak and oak fittings,
and Italian furniture. Black and earthy tones prevail in the rooms. Bleached
oak marries well with the pale hues of the fabrics and cream-coloured linen
wallpaper. The excellent spa has a 12-metre gold mosaic swimming pool and
glass-fronted hammam with stone seating.
RURAL
rosa alpina, italy
Summer visitors can enjoy hiking, biking and climbing, while winter visitors
have 130km of slopes on their doorstep in the surrounding Dolomites. The
original building dates back to 1850 and local antiques, wood carvings and
old photographs complement its wood-panelled ceilings and thick, frescoed
walls. Rooms offer contemporary design, with glass-encased fires and sleek
timber furnishings, yet still nod to local Ladin traditions with wood-panelled
ceilings, fire wood baskets and ceramic stoves. The two Michelin-starred St.
Hubertus Restaurant is undoubtedly the culinary highlight.
Relais Borgo Santo Pietro, Chiusdino, Tuscany, Italy
This lovely cocoon-like property feels more like the house of a collector
with exquisite taste than a hotel. Each room is unique, and all are
spacious. Though the decor is unapologetically antique, the technology is
not: guests are presented with pre-loaded his-and-hers iPods on arrival. The
Meo Modo restaurant recently won a Michelin star, while the Treehouse Bar,
near the pool, does pizzas from a wood-burning oven, salads and grilled meat
or fish. The Borgo’s lovely spa occupies a whole Tuscan farmhouse in the
garden.
La Bandita Country House, Pienza, Tuscany, Italy
Cool Tuscan minimalism. The main building is a conversion of a 20th-century
farmhouse – something that allowed the owners not to be constrained by the
usual tiny Tuscan rural rooms and low ceilings. The result is an airy,
luminous feel, with an open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen that
becomes a focus for a kind of ongoing house party, plus eight very cool
bedrooms. The cute infinity pool flirts shamelessly with the view. Standards
are high in the restaurant.
Villa Bordoni, Tuscany, Italy
Ceiling beams are painted ivory rather than left exposed in the usual Tuscan
farmhouse way, walls are daubed with boldly-hued lime washes, and jazzy
tiles, rustic furnishings and antiques – as much Moroccan, Neapolitan or
Parisian in style as Tuscan – ramp up the eccentric verve of this charming
retreat. In line with the hotel’s unpretentious chic approach, the food in
the stylish restaurant is gourmet without being fancy: seasonal availability
and the Tuscan traditions set the pace.
Belmond Castello di Casole
Dominating glorious wooded countryside from its hilltop near the town of
Casole Val d’Elsa, the Castello is surrounded by its own 4,200-acre estate:
guests can trek or mountain-bike on miles of marked trails without ever
leaving the property. Levels of comfort and service are extremely high, and
there’s a generally sophisticated atmosphere. An indulgent spa with pools
inspired by ancient Roman thermae in the castle’s former wine cellar
completes the experience.
palazzo seneca, umbria, italy
Housed in a converted 16th-century palace that for years was the Posta
hotel, a classic posthouse, complete with stables. It was immaculately
converted by the Bianconi family, Norcian hoteliers for several generations,
and the result is one of central Italy’s finest and most stylish hotels. The
palace’s many original features – glorious flagstone and terracotta-tiled
floors, beamed ceilings, a vast fireplace – have been retained and overlaid
with the latest technology, tasteful furnishings and much fine local artisan
work (leather-topped surfaces, linens, oak panelling).
Villa Cordevigo, Cavaion Veronese, Lake Garda, Italy
The original villa dates back to the 16th century; the southern wing of
the building housed a mill in the 18th century, while the northern wing was
once a stable and cellar. Classic rooms have queen-sized beds and terracotta
or marble bathrooms. Some have stone fireplaces and wooden ceiling beams.
There’s Michelin-starred dining in the hotel’s Oseleta restaurant.
Palace Merano Espace Henri Chenot hotel, Merano, Italy
A glitzy, glossy palace, this is where you come to hail the king of
Italian detoxing, Henri Chenot, and lose vast amounts of weight (up to half
a stone in a week is the norm). Consultations in the slick spa are broken up
by tiny but tasty meals in one of the two dietetic restaurants. And it’s
glamorous: you might be only slurping soup for dinner but the dress code is
still a little black dress and high heels.
Hotel Fragsburg, Dolomites
Located in a historic hunting lodge that dates back to the 17th century,
the hotel is South Tyrol’s smallest five star establishment (there are only
20 suites). It’s not stuffy or pretentious though – think Alpine comforts
with a splash of elegance. Interiors feature a harmonious blend of Alpine
and Mediterranean, with antique furniture, contemporary fittings and a touch
of Art Deco. Run by the Ortner family, the hotel retains a welcoming family
feel.
Hotel Il Pellicano, Porto Ercole, Italy
Il Pellicano stands in majestic natural seclusion amid stone pines and
cypresses with breathtaking sunset views down the coast. Chic in a
laid-back, old-school kind of way, the décor might be described as Tuscan
elegance (terracotta floors, walnut antiques) with a touch of the Spanish
seaside and the French country house. It feels like a home rather than a
hotel. There are two restaurants – the fancier and more formal
Michelin-starred Il Pellicano and the laid-back al fresco Pelligrill.
COAST
Masseria Torre Coccaro, Puglia
Torre Coccaro centres on an ancient masseria (fortified farmstead) with
the rocky coast and the hotel’s Coccaro Beach Club just a short bike ride
away. Most rooms, done out in Puglian peasant-chic mode with touches of
Provencal elegance, are located in independent villas scattered around the
resort’s gardens and olive groves, but a few – including the high-ceilinged
Suite della Torre and two deluxe junior suites – occupy the 16th-century
watchtower at the centre of the property.
masseria san domenico
Neither castle nor fortress, the Masseria San Domenico is shaped out of a
fortified country house with rooms that have character, individuality and
panoramic views over Puglia. Pale ochre buildings rise out of stone
courtyards that lead to the pool and across lawns punctuated by ancient
olive trees amid an ambience that is five-star boutique-style intimacy with
elegance, privacy and Puglian cuisine. The grounds are ideal for walks or a
stroll to the shoreline, and there are bikes to rent too.
Monastero Santa Rosa, Amalfi Coast
One of the most exclusive and luxurious of all the hotels in this
most-exclusive chunk of Italy, the Santa Rosa’s creation is down to one
woman, Bianca Sharma, who bought the vast, cliff-top building after spying
it from a boat. She spared no expense in transforming the 17th-century
monastery into a stylish and cocooning hotel, while fully respecting the
building’s origins. There’s everything you need on site: fabulous terraced
gardens with a heated infinity pool; the best spa on the costiera; an
outdoor gym with a view; and a superb bar and restaurant.
Il San Pietro di Positano, Positano, Amalfi Coast, Italy
Guests want for nothing here. You could quite easily arrive in the hotel and
throw away the car keys for the duration: just about anything you could
possibly wish for is on site, and for a zip up the coast, one of the hotel’s
private boats will pick you up from the jetty. There is a bar with a
spectacular terrace overlooking the sparkling lights of the village, a
gourmet restaurant, fabulous terraced gardens and, on sea level, a private
'beach’, a tennis court, spa and a casual-chic beachside restaurant.
Le Sirenuse, Positano
An eclectic collection of antique furniture and art helps the hotel
retain its atmosphere of the private home it originally was, though over
time it has conjoined with neighbouring houses to become a warren of rooms
and public areas on several floor. The Michelin-starred La Sponda restaurant
is about as romantic as a dining room can possibly be. Entirely lit by 400
candles (the waiters carry torches so diners can see the menu) it has
creeper-clad walls, stiff white tablecloths and grandstand views over the
twinkling resort lights and sea.
Hotel Santa Caterina, Amalfi Coast, Italy
Family antiques pepper the cool, white interiors, which are splashed
with Mediterranean colour on patterned tiles and fabrics. The airy dining
room has a stunning blue Brazilian-marble floor and a lovely terrace
overlooking gardens and sea. The big surprise is the glass lift that
whooshes down the cliff to where the delightful pool, bar, beach-shack
restaurant (dancing to live music on Tuesdays), sea and boats await. Dining
on the terrace is romantic and breakfast in the morning is a joy, too.
Hotel Villa Cimbrone, Amalfi Coast
The hotel and gardens enjoy incomparable views over the coast and the
Mediterranean far below. The hotel’s romantic English gardens culminate in
the Terrace of Infinity, described by Gore Vidal as 'the most beautiful view
in the world’. The 19 bedrooms are all different, with antique furnishings
and more of those wonderful views, original Vietri majolica floors and stone
or majolica fireplaces. The Il Flauto di Pan restaurant boasts a Michelin
star.
Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, Sorrento
Built on high cliffs over a spectacular sheer drop, with a broad terrace
that has sweeping views of Mount Vesuvius and Naples. There are plenty of
original Belle Epoque features and furnishings, including marble floors,
inlaid marquetry tables, stucco cupids depicted over doorways and windows
and intricate, metal fretwork. Room categories range from classic garden or
sea-view rooms to vast suites with private terraces overlooking the
waterfront, some with in-room pianos. The Michelin-starred Terrazza Bosquet
restaurant, specialising in seafood, overlooks the water.
Belmond Hotel Splendido
Oozing elegance, style and charm, the building was a family home for
much of the 19th century and the décor is reminiscent of that time. On
arrival guests negotiate a glamorous red carpet to be met by a small army of
bell boys. Large windows frame views of the hotel’s elegant terrace and lush
gardens. Take a dip in the hotel’s salt-water infinity pool for the best
views of Portofino harbour. The emphasis is on fish at the hotel’s
sophisticated Chuflay restaurant (formal attire required).
ISLANDS
Capofaro Locanda & Malvasia, Aeolian Islands, Italy
This is a spread-out resort, with the reception area and small shop at
the entrance a short walk (or golf-cart hop) away from the sea-facing pool,
bar and restaurant area. Rooms are set back behind the vines, most of them
out of earshot of poolside conversations and the occasional ambient DJ set.
The mood is one of quietly sophisticated ease, the clientele mostly
discreetly well-heeled but not conspicuously rich couples who need nothing
more than sun, a stunning natural setting, a pool, and good food and wine to
reach holiday nirvana.
L’Agnata di De André, Sardinia
It was the Sardinian home of the late Fabrizio De André, one of Italy’s
most loved troubadours, and today offers discreet luxury and total repose in
a stunning setting. This “country chic” hotel is at one with its rural
setting, eschewing Costa Smeralda-style glamour in favour of homespun
traditional trappings, with sottovoce infusions of luxury. Sardinian art on
the walls and a smattering of antiques enliven the ambience. Surrounded by
forest, the spacious grounds offer refreshing vistas of lawns, lavender and
wisteria. The food is a highlight.
Belmond Villa Sant'Andrea, Sicily, Italy
The hotel is set on its own private stretch of beach surrounded by lush
gardens. Built in 1830, the hotel was once a private villa, and has retained
the charm of a residence; it exudes classic understated elegance. Facilities
include a heated infinity pool, use of the private beach with sun loungers
and parasols, and a complimentary boat cruise (mid-May to mid-September).
Water sports are available too, including paddle-surfing. The hotel can
organise Vintage Fiat 500 and Ape Calessino tours.
Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo
In a list of Great Views of the World, the panorama from the bar and
restaurant terrace of the Timeo – over the clustered rooftops of medieval
Taormina, past the coves and headlands of eastern Sicily’s volcanic
coastline and across to the puffing peak of Mount Etna – would surely merit
a place in the Top 10. Opt for a room in the main building for classic
elegance and a special antique atmosphere. The cuisine at the Timeo’s
terrace restaurant is fresh and reliable, with classic Sicilian dishes
predominating over fancy preparations.
J.K. Place Capri, Campania, Italy
Talented Florentine designer Michele Bonan has excelled himself in a
hotel that is a paean to a certain upscale version of vintage, globetrotting
Mediterranean elegance. Whether it’s the well-stocked and well-curated
library of art, photography and design books, or the playful marine details
– duck egg blue wall tints, porthole windows, framed photos of vintage
yachts –the whole place exudes a sense of relaxed class that invites one to
dress for dinner.
