As September unfolds, the whirlwind of events can feel overwhelming.
Amidst the bustle, finding moments of calm becomes essential, and we’ve found just the thing to book in for. Plus, a cosy Bath stay (featuring a uniquely literary getaway) and an unbeatable way to explore New York City should you find yourself there. Loungewear for weekends remains high on our priority list, and as far as we’re concerned, this is one brand that does comfort just right. So whether you’re navigating the city’s vibrant events or enjoying a quiet retreat, this week’s Citizen Femme hotlist offers a touch of serenity amidst the September hustle.
TRY THIS 1 Hotel Mayfair x SOLICE Health
As September unfolds, it may be bringing a flurry of activity at an overwhelming pace. 1 Hotel Mayfair has launched an exclusive partnership with SOLICE Health, in line with the hotel’s already revered holistic philosophy. Guests (and visitors to the hotel) can now enjoy bespoke IV therapies designed to bolster immunity, enhance radiance, or restore balance, crafted by SOLICE’s bioharmony‑focused approach. These advanced treatments sit alongside the tranquil, nature-rooted rituals of the Bamford Wellness Spa – from facials and massages to body scrubs and mindful therapies – and are available both in-room and in the spa sanctuary. Take some time to slow down, restore equilibrium, and embrace a moment of calm amidst the season’s inevitable busyness.
LOUNGE IN THIS Eberjey
Eberjey’s new chocolate-coloured knitted sets are an ideal wardrobe addition this autumn for quiet evenings in. Known for their buttery-soft fabrics and feel‑good fits, Eberjey has long built its reputation on garments that feel like a gentle embrace against the skin, from their iconic Gisele pajamas to delicate lace lingerie. These seasonal knitted sets are rich in warm tones and elevate the art of lounging. Eberjey’s new “New Hue: Chocolate” features cosy essentials like the Recycled Sweater Cropped Cardigan, Recycled Sweater Pant, and Recycled Sweater Cropped Tank. The cardigan, with its relaxed waffle-stitch silhouette and button closure, pairs seamlessly with the high-rise sweater pant for an effortlessly chic look that transitions from lounging at home to casual coffee runs.
ENJOY THE LAST OF SUMMER HERE Amélie, Belgravia
There’s something bittersweet about a final long summer lunch but where else to enjoy this than at Amélie (a personal favourite), sitting within the neoclassical charm of the Pantechnicon on Belgravia’s Motcomb Street. The terrace transforms for a final long lunch in effortlessly chic Provençal style. Set beneath elegant parasols along the pedestrianised street, the al fresco setting invites guests to unwind with enticing small plates and seasonal Mediterranean fare, think indulgent Steak Frites with unlimited fries or Potato Rösti crowned with crab and caviar, while leisurely enjoying free-flowing Miraval Rosé, closing with their famed mousse au chocolat. There’s solace in resisting the seasonal shift just a little longer as you enjoy a long afternoon, sip by sip.
BOOK THIS The Mark Sailboat
If you’re in New York for Fashion Week (or simply seeking an unparalleled luxury experience in the Big Apple), The Mark Hotel’s exclusive 70-foot Herreshoff sailboat makes its return to the high seas, offering an unmatched way to experience the city. Departing from Tribeca’s North Cove Marina, this elegant boat accommodates up to 25 guests on a two-hour journey through New York Harbor, with breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. Indulge in a bespoke menu curated by chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten or selections from Caviar Kaspia, complemented by Champagne and cocktails.
STAY HERE Jane Austen’s Bath home
This year sees the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth which has sparked a resurgence of interest in her life and works. Bath, where Austen lived from 1801 to 1806, serves as a focal point for celebrations, including an expanded Jane Austen Festival this September and a trio of new BBC dramas bringing her stories to life – as well as Dolly Alderton’s modern reimagining of Pride and Prejudice for Netflix. For literary lovers and those seeking a deeper connection to Austen’s world, you can book a stay at her former family home in Bath on Airbnb. This Grade I listed Georgian townhouse was home to Austen, her parents, and her sister Cassandra during her time in the city. Lovingly preserved, the apartment occupies what was once the kitchen and butler’s pantry, spaces where Austen is said to have written undisturbed.
