Discover Quiet Luxury At Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya’s New Ceiba Club
17.11.2023 - 13:33 / forbes.com
Over the past two decades, Tulum—a former Mayan seaport and fishing village hugging the Yucatán Peninsula’s Caribbean coastline—underwent a dramatic transformation with a surge of beigey boutique hotels, alfresco restaurants, and pulsing nightclubs. While many parts are still are undeniably beautiful, the crowds, unfortunately, have gotten out of hand.
When Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya opened in January 2022, it pivoted in a different direction by ushering in a different kind of resort stay: one that’s quietly luxurious, chicly done up with locally-sourced natural materials, and far removed from Tulum’s beaten path. A member of Hilton’s luxury brand portfolio, Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya has 349 ocean-facing guest rooms and suites with private balconies and plunge pools, and is nestled along a secluded bay teeming with twisting mangroves, flashy hibiscus, and fringed palms. Unlike many of its competitors, though, the Conrad distinguishes itself as a full-service hotel. You won’t have to worry about diesel generators running out of power, weak Wi-Fi, rowdy tourists, or wondering when you’ll have your next meal.
And with the new Ceiba Club, which was unveiled in June and is only for guests who’ve reserved one of eight Ceiba rooms and suites—booking a vacation at Conrad Tulum Riviera May is even more appealing. In fact, it can feel like a wholly different experience, in the best way possible.
Upon entering the hotel’s lush grounds, you’ll bypass the main lobby and be whisked right to the Ceiba Club. Here, you’re greeted with cheerful concierges who breezily check you in, and staff who do double-duty as bartenders—they’ll shake up original cocktails like horchata spiked with rum and espresso—and servers presenting fresh-from-the-kitchen Yucatán plates such as sikil pak, chaya gazpacho, and crudo finished with recado negro. Since Ceiba is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails, pop in whenever the mood strikes. And because access to the club is limited to just a handful of guests, the staff will quickly remember all your preferences.
The Ceiba Club accommodations range from rooms with double beds to the 2,000 square-foot Ceiba Presidential Suite with astonishing panoramic views. No matter what category you hunker down in, you’ll be pampered with a bohemian design of granite, rattan, and warm wood; thoughtful amenities like handmade alebrije and suncare products; late night in-room dining on the house; and a 10% discount on all treatments at the tranquil Conrad Spa Tulum, a holistic open-air sanctuary with locally-inspired rituals like The Itzamná Journey. The 100-minute session incorporating medicinal plants in an aura cleansing, moisturizing wrap, and renewing full-body masssage comes in especially

Why Café Carmellini Will Be Your New Favorite Restaurant In New York
“He’s in here, in the kitchen every night and he’s smiling. He’s so happy to be doing this,” explains one of the managers of Café Carmellini. He is chef Andrew Carmellini, well known around New York the past 15 years for his respected but more casual restaurants Locanda Verde, Lafayette, The Dutch, Carne Mare and Bar Primi. This restaurant, which opened November 1st in the new Fifth Avenue Hotel, marks his return to fine dining with reinterpretations of French and Italian classics and as his most personal restaurant is the first one that bears his name. It’s been packed since opening night and looking around the Gilded Age style dining room with its oversized bronze and seeded glass chandeliers suspended from double height ceilings, plush blue banquettes and sculpted trees in the middle of the floor, the chef isn’t the only one smiling.
