If I could be in any two places in the world right now, I would join the 25th-anniversary celebrations of Anantara Hotels & Resorts at two of its premier European properties, Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam and Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel.

Perfectly timed for peak July and August travel, the iconic hotel brand is marking the milestone with two curated experiences centred around limited-edition waterway journeys. Land and water merge seamlessly with exceptional dining and the brand’s signature hospitality. These exclusive offerings take guests from cruising through Amsterdam’s UNESCO-listed canals aboard a private gourmet boat to sailing along the Tiber River in Rome. The most tantalising accompaniments are the exceptional city views, top-notch dining, and balmy weather typical of a European summer.

Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam sits on the iconic Dam Square, offering guests an experience that is classically Amsterdam yet elevated in true Anantara style. Because nothing leaves a lasting impression quite like exceptional cuisine, this journey through the canals is accompanied by a specially curated menu of Thai-inspired gourmet bites prepared by the hotel’s master chefs. The 90-minute experience accommodates groups of up to seven and is priced at nearly $1,000 for two, making it the kind of journey that could easily become a lasting travel memory.

Meanwhile, Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel, nestled in the historic Piazza della Repubblica and overlooking the ancient Baths of Diocletian, offers guests its Luxury River and Rooftop Journey. The Tiber is showcased from an entirely new perspective, allowing guests to take in Rome’s iconic landmarks from the water. This unforgettable half-day experience concludes with an exclusive rooftop dining event overlooking the Eternal City at sunset. Priced at nearly $3,000 and curated exclusively for this milestone year, the distinctly Roman escape could easily become one of your most memorable travel stories.
