LUXE REPORT SUITE TALK Hot night in the city: Faena Hotel’s sultry F suite. Geneva’s New Gem Rocco Forte Hotels spent the past 19 months polishing a gem in Le Richemond, Geneva’s 1863 landmark hotel, which reopens September 21. The renovated lakeside property features 109 rooms, including the Royal Armleder Suite with two terraces overlooking the Alps. A fitness center and Turkish steam bath occupy the new spa. Doubles from approximate $513, including breakfast and a bottle of wine. Le Richemond’s modern look. ARGENTINE AERIE To best frame Buenos Aires’ cityscape, the 108-room Faena Hotel + Universe has added three new suites, ranging from a two-bedroom, apartment-style unit with a library and kitchen to a three-level abode with a screening room and color-morphing, fiber optic chandelier, each with a spacious outdoor terrace. From approximate $2,850 (Tower suite), $4,750 (Imperial suite), and $7,600 (F suite). Gilles de Chambure: Napa knowledge by the glass. Vintage Napa Slipping out of restaurant confines, master sommelier Gilles de Chambure offers his knowledge of Napa Valley viniculture to guests of the 85-room Meadowood Napa Valley, both at meals and well beyond. As wine educator, de Chambure leads on-property tastings, seminars, and dinners and hosts a daily afternoon wine reception, as well as escorted tours to local wineries, many closed to the public.
