Independent State of Mind

Rosewood Miramar, California  

The coastal enclave known as the American Riviera is aptly named and ideally poised for a laidback July 4th escape. A Member favorite among The Club’s Rosewood Collection properties, this seaside sophisticate (Miramar means “to behold the sea”) is staging festive holiday happenings for the whole family.  

The Scene: From the beachy porte-cochère to the ocean-inspired décor and local art found throughout, The Rosewood Miramar is well-known for its keen sense of style. Unwind on the ocean-facing Great Lawn (bare feet encouraged!) with an Apérol spritz and a game of corn hole, then refuel with freshly shucked oysters and the catch of the day at Miramar Beach Bar. This local favorite draws a tony local Montecito and Santa Barbra crowd in addition to visiting locals.  

The Experience: Commemorate the 4th of July with the resort’s special Coastal Cookout and BBQ, held on the Great Lawn. Enjoy family-friendly summer events like the Stars & Smores at the Oak Tree Firepit, beachside activities, and the resort’s limited-edition “Co-Author Cocktail Series,” which features master mixologists from Washington D.C.’s Allegory Bar.  

The Stay: Rosewood Miramar Beach is situated on a remote oceanfront stretch of Montecito. Single-story, 720-square-foot Garden Bungalow suites hug lush landscaping and feature cozy fireplaces and living rooms as well as inviting terraces for indoor-outdoor living.   

Rosewood Washington, D.C.  

You can’t experience anything more festive than an authentic July 4th vacation in our nation’s capital. When staying in the heart of Georgetown at the Rosewood D.C., uncover top things to do in summer, plus fireworks of both style and history, evident in the décor and artwork found on property and in the surrounding culturally vibrant streets.  

 The Scene: Your boutique headquarters easily accesses the historical significance of the city.  Offered via the Rosewood, the Mount Vernon Biking Tour is a private summer bucket-list experience, in which you’ll travel by bike from the resort to Mount Vernon, the plantation home of George Washington (lunch is enjoyed along the way).

The Experience: On Independence Day, Mount Vernon holds a special summer celebration for visitors, including seeing the estate's museums, enjoying stellar views from the piazza, walking the gardens, and visiting the final resting place of George and Martha Washington. If American baseball is more your speed, The Washington Nationals play at Nationals Park on July 4th. Cap the day at Cut restaurant by Wolfgang Puck, which is D.C.’s finest rooftop perch for watching the fireworks define the city skyline.  

The Stay: Located in the heart of Georgetown along the historic C&O Canal, Rosewood Washington, D.C. easily accesses the epicenter of the U.S. capital. Featuring interiors by renowned D.C.-based designer Thomas Pheasant, each townhouse provides a living space with luxurious bathrooms and well-appointed kitchens. These retreats are ideal for extended stays or a quick weekend getaway. Connecting townhouses are available to provide a two-bedroom configuration. 

The Mansion on Turtle Creek Dallas Texas 

The Scene: Known for its elegant blend of southern charm and modern amenities, The Mansion on Turtle Creek Dallas offers a 4th of July escape for the entire family. The manor was built in 1925, featuring a cantilevered staircase and the first private elevator in Dallas. The architecture is influenced by 16th-century Italy, yet today modern design elements have been introduced while preserving historic details.  

The Experience: For a more serene Independence Day celebration, start your day lounging at the gorgeous outdoor pool with the family, and then visit the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. Considered one of the finest gardens in the U.S., this city favorite will stage Independence Day music and serve festive family fare throughout the day. Also a must: The Rosewood Mansion x Miron Crosby collab. A custom boot design and fitting held exclusively for Rosewood Dallas guests, it was inspired by the mansion’s façade (the women’s Mansion Boot is also available at the nearby Miron Crosby boutique via this custom program).  

The Stay: A former palatial private estate, the 142-room Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek is known for a private residential ambiance, defined by serenity and sophistication.
