          Wild Ways of Getting to Your Hotel

          by Kim Budziak

          Be it yacht, zipline or helicopter, these wild ways of getting to your next hotel underscore a sense of adventure in that old adage, “It’s the journey, not the destination.”

          Wild Ways of Getting to Your Hotel

          Hotel Metropole terrace view
          Private Water Taxi | Hotel Metropole

          After a luxury car transfer whisks you from your port of arrival to the edge of the Venetian Lagoon—as though out of a scene in Casino Royale—you’ll coast by private water taxi to the canal entrance of the city’s own Hotel Metropole. Here, overlooking Bacino di San Marco, you can enjoy the City of Romance, the opulent décor and rich textiles of the hotel, and the Italian Michelin Star dining of The Met Restaurant before departing in equally elegant fashion.

          When your hotel has a landing pad at 960 feet about sea level, you can practically glide to your suite. Entrust your luggage to the team at Six Senses Zighy Bay as you paraglide over the Gulf of Oman and Musandam Peninsula, then climb towards the Al Hajar mountains. Once you’re settled in your villa, take a dip in the pool or a sunset cruise to figuratively come back down to earth.

          Private Helicopter to The Peninsula Hong Kong
          Private Helicopter or Rolls Royce Phantom Fleet | The Peninsula Hong Kong

          The only entrance that could top pulling up to The Peninsula Hong Kong in one of the hotel’s 14 Rolls Royce Phantoms is arriving overhead via its helicopter shuttle service. The helipad not only offers to- and from-airport service but will drop off guests around Hong Kong as well. Check into a freshly renovated room in The Peninsula Tower where you can debate whether to do more of the city’s famous shopping or “flight-seeing.”

          Funicular to The St. Regis Deer Valley Resort
          Funicular or Skis | The St. Regis Deer Valley Resort

          Were it not for the rolling Utah mountains, you might swear you were in the middle of a scene from “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” The St. Regis Deer Valley has a similar charm thanks to its slope-side funicular tram connecting the upper and lower resort buildings. Guests can head to the reservation desk from the tram terminal or opt to ski-in for check-in. After a day on the slopes, find an après-ski seat with a view of Jordanelle Lake State Park (not hard, since it surrounds the resort) and follow up with a soak in the hot tub.
