Hotels everywhere offer free bikes these days, but some properties are branching out. Take the virtual golf at Romeo hotel in Naples: The interactive game is shown on a 40-inch screen and realistically displays golf shots, for which you’re invited to use the property’s historic Scottish golf clubs. At the Four Seasons Resort Whistler, a dedicated Ski Concierge is available to customize rentals, handle equipment transfers and provide direct ski lift access – plus prep you for the day with dry, warmed boots. Even more luxe is the tennis at Las Ventanas al Paraíso in Los Cabos: The hotel staff plies players with cold towels, Evian spray mists (because our sprays simply must be filtered) and light refreshments courtside.
