In January, we can enjoy the long-awaited holidays with frosty mornings, cocoa in bed, unwrapping gifts under the Christmas tree, and walks in the snowy forest. It's a time for memorable experiences, cozy atmospheres, and gatherings with loved ones. Here are some activities you shouldn't miss this month.
Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of winter Paris, as if you accidentally stumbled into a fairy tale. This year, the hotel has thought of every detail to transport you to a world of luxury. Indulge in exquisite brunches, dance parties, and magical "Imperial Tea Parties" accompanied by the sound of a harp. The mirrors, grand chandeliers, and desserts from renowned pastry chef François Perre will make you feel like you're at a Christmas ball in Versailles. If you're interested in expanding your culinary knowledge, you can attend cooking classes at the Ritz culinary school.
Experience the legendary composer not only as a genius but also as a person, with all his contradictions, emotions, and ambitions. The play takes place in an intimate theater to create a sense of closeness to Mozart. The audience will witness key moments in Mozart's life, from his early years as a prodigy to becoming a symbol of eternity. The play particularly focuses on reflections about genius, its cost, and internal battles.
If a trip to Paris is not on the horizon yet, it's the perfect time to enjoy a gastronomic vacation in Moscow. The restaurant promises to combine the cozy atmosphere of winter evenings with the elegance of French cuisine. Familiar dishes are reinvented with a twist, such as Olivier salad with crab, borscht with foie gras, fish pie with two sauces, or beef stroganoff with mushrooms. Finish off the evening with a dessert that adds unexpected flavors to the classic Napoleon pastry thanks to cranberry sauce. And of course, champagne!
Feel the atmosphere of sunny Mexico even in the winter of Moscow. The bar has prepared a breakfast menu that captures a piece of Mexican culture in every dish, with the aroma of fresh salsa, spicy sauce notes, and unique ingredient combinations. Familiar ingredients are given an unusual interpretation, such as pumpkin waffles with salmon, corn chips with green salsa and fried eggs, and rice pudding with coconut cream and mango. All of this can be paired with a rich hot chocolate with a hint of caramel.
If you want to spend a cozy time with your loved ones, consider the traditional Russian tradition of going to the sauna. This year, the online retailer has launched a special project to popularize sauna culture. The "Zhara-Ptitsa" complex in Moscow and the "Kamysh" complex in St. Petersburg have designated branded relaxation areas. Sauna sessions offer an opportunity to slow down, take care of yourself, and tune into a positive mood. The retailer has prepared pleasant surprises for guests, including signature tea with treats, merchandise, and a chance to win a sauna weekend with a friend from another city.
Winter festivals are a way to fill the short holiday days with vibrant experiences, gather with friends or family, and spend time in an extraordinary way. Consider visiting the ice rinks, enjoying the festive lights, sipping hot chocolate, and engaging in various winter activities to add warmth to the cold days. You can spend the day outdoors and warm up in the lounge area. The guests can participate in figure skating masterclasses, enjoy winter attractions, indulge in hot tea and pancakes, and end the evening with performances by Olympic champions and the ballet performance "Ice Symphony."
