Rockwell Group, in partnership with
The Sky Rooftop Villa at the Riviera Maya EDITION
includes an entertaining deck with an elevated pool
Ian Schrager Company, recently completed
North America's largest hotel penthouse at the
Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai, the brand's fi rst
outpost in Mexico. Occupying the entire top
fl oor of one of the property's three buildings,
the 26,900-square-foot Sky Rooſt op Villa sleeps
up to 12 guests in fi ve bedrooms accessed via a
limestone corridor.
The accommodation, along with the rest
of the 182-key property, was craſt ed in the
brand's signature neutral palett e. Each of the
villa's guestrooms features wood canopy beds,
curved plush sofas, wet bars, and natural stone
fl oors paired with elements that showcase the
embroidery and patt erning techniques of the
Yucatán Peninsula. Private decks-complete
with lounge furniture and a raised Jacuzzi with
views to the ocean beyond-extend from each of
the rooms as well.
Indoor-outdoor living continues in the
The Royal Mansion at Atlantis the Royal in Dubai
features a double-height bar and lounge
living room-outfi tt ed with a kitchen, modern
furniture, stone fl oors, and sheer drapery-
which is fl anked by integrated refl ecting pools to
make the suite appear to fl oat on water. Through
sliding glass doors, an expansive covered outdoor
terrace leads to an uncovered entertainment area
complete with a raised swimming pool, fi repits,
and sunken garden lounges with hammocks.
Suitable for both large events and individual
guests, " there is a lot of fl exibility in the use of the
room, " Keff er notes. " We were able to conceive
the suite as we would a single-family home, with
a number of programmatic areas. "
Further south, the Rosewood São Paulo in
Brazil unveiled its 12,000-square-foot, three-story
penthouse suite, which can sleep up to eight
guests, earlier this year. Crowning the hotel's
Mata Atlantica tower, envisioned by venerated
architect Jean Nouvel, the suite is accessed
through a private entrance and stands out with
a hidden rooſt op garden fi lled with a variety of
plants native to the surrounding rainforest and
an infi nity pool overlooking the city's Avenida
Paulista.
French designer Philippe Starck craſt ed
At Atlantis the Royal, the Royal Mansion's
North Terrace overlooks the sea
the accommodation's residentially inspired
interiors using locally sourced materials to
connect guests with the spirit of São Paulo.
" The dream is simple: to create an island-to
create a paradise in the middle of the city,
which becomes the center of life in the city, "
Starck says. A fl oating marble staircase leads
guests upstairs, while intricate woodworking is
found across walls, ceilings, and bookshelves.
Guests staying in the penthouse are also off ered
complimentary 24-hour butler service, allinclusive
F&B, a private car and driver service,
and a team of security agents.
