Luxe Escapes From The Aloha State to The Big Apple
The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua Maui, HI
Some vacations are more about the locale than the place you stay—typically, the island of Maui is like this, as many of the best things to do and see on the island aren't associated with any one hotel. That is, unless you're heading to The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua, where unique offerings are abundant and the experience is truly once-in-a-lifetime. Each lanai-equipped room or suite is decked out in Polynesian-inspired furnishings, with large TVs and comfortable beds that make returning to your room after a long day all the better. From helicopter tours of the island, to the luxurious Tales of the Kapa Moe luau, to snorkeling off a glass-bottom boat, there's never a dull moment here. After a relaxing treatment at the spa, you'll find yourself invigorated and ready for the next day's adventure.
If you've been searching for a Washington DC stay that feels truly presidential, look no further than Hotel Washington, just a stone's throw from the White House. The iconic Beaux-Arts building has welcomed guests since 1917, and although still maintains elegant original details like spiral staircase chandeliers and elevators, it's been updated to serve the needs of the modern traveler. The rooms are sophisticated and comfortable, but chances are you'll want to spend most of your time eating, drinking, and striking up conversation at the stately Lobby Bar or even the VUE Rooftop, which provides visitors stunning views of DC's most iconic landmarks. If you're visiting for the holidays, we highly suggest the Whoville Hideout, a Grinch-themed set of adjoining rooms decked out with holiday amenities sure to make your heart grow three sizes.
Set on a sleepy stretch of Dominican Republic coastline, Casa de Campo® Resort & Villas is the comprehensive La Romana resort that's been setting the standard for luxury travel in the Caribbean since it first opened in the 1970s. The private gated community and resort features an array of activities making it an ideal destination for families and multi-generational groups traveling together. From luxury villa homes with up to 12 bedrooms and the new Premier Suites accommodations, guests can enjoy horseback riding, a petting zoo with ponies for the kids, shooting center, 13 tennis courts, a private beach, 3 pools, a replica of a 16th-century village with its own amphitheater, marina and yacht club, and a variety of restaurants with menus that will take you around the world. The main draws are the three golf courses wedged between ocean bluffs and the jungle including "Teeth of the Dog" (ranked #1 in the Caribbean).
A serene oasis in the heart of one of the busiest cities in the world, Aman New York offers an unforgettable experience to anyone who steps inside. Housed in what was once the first location of the famed Museum of Modern Art, it is as close as you can get to a resort-style retreat without leaving city limits. The three-floor spa provides travelers with treatments that hail from both the East and West, combining the best of both, while the top-of-the-line accommodations allow guests ample room to breathe, relax, and take it all in. The guests-only restaurants, Arva and Nama, serve up Italian and Japanese cuisines, respectively, in a setting that is never too busy or crowded. Or, if you're looking for a more casual meal, The Garden Terrace and Lounge Bar both serve food and drinks as well. Of note is also the Jazz Club, serving Aman-inspired drinks and fare to guests and non-guests alike, set against live music played by some of the best in the city.
In Amsterdam's UNESCO World Heritage area sits Pulitzer Amsterdam, a distinctly Dutch hotel that seamlessly blends in to the architecture of the city, making visitors feel as though they're arriving more to a home than a hotel. Don't assume that means it's overly intimate, however—the independent, five-star hotel spans twenty-five restored Golden Age canal houses, which at one time set the scene for prosperous trade deals between merchants and played home to many notable Dutch aristocrats. Today, the design-forward hotel invites guests to enjoy their spacious rooms and suites, gorgeous private gardens, an award-winning bar, and a noteworthy restaurant serving beautifully crafted cuisine around the clock.
