Tips for Booking a Hotel with Expedia

Booking the right hotel is one of the most important factors when it comes to getting the most out of your vacation. If you're looking to plan an unforgettable trip, you'll need to find the right place to stay. Learn how Expedia can help you book the right hotel for your needs whether you're taking the family on a vacation, traveling with someone special, or just taking some time away for yourself.

How to book a hotel on Expedia?

When you book through Expedia, the entire process is simple. You'll find a wide range of accommodation options and destinations to choose from, as well as a variety of search filters to help you find exactly what you're looking for. That means you can search exclusively for hotels with a pool , pet-friendly policies , or family-friendly amenities . Las Vegas hotels and New York hotels are especially popular, but you'll also find options for other destinations like  Myrtle Beach .

What are the most important things when choosing a hotel?

Finding the right hotel means opting for stays that cater to your unique needs. Quite a few factors go into what a hotel is like to experience, and you'll need to consider them all.

  • Amenities: think about what kind of amenities you need to have. You'll find options for pools or fitness centers in hotels all across the country and beyond.
  • Location: the location can also play a major role in your experience, especially if you want to be close to certain attractions like downtown or the beach.
  • Price & Reviews: you'll want to find a balance between affordability and positive reviews to get as much as you can within the budget you've set.

How far in advance should I book a hotel?

You can sometimes book a hotel as late as the day before check-in, but most of the time, you'll want to book well in advance. You can see what's available up to 40 days in advance, and even monitor the price trends if you're not ready to book right away. Prices tend to go down the closer it gets to the date, especially around the 21-day mark. 21 days from your check-in, prices are generally somewhat normal, with prices often falling, then briefly rising, then falling again. Last-minute bookings can be especially cheap since hotels are desperate to book their last few rooms.

While it varies by destination, you should generally book a hotel room between 1 and 3 months before you travel. Seasonality plays a major part in rates and availability, too. For example,  California or Florida are often fully booked during the busy summer months, so it's wise to reserve at least 6 months ahead when traveling at that time of year. You should also reserve well in advance if you're heading to major events. For instance,  Madison Square Garden Hotels  should be reserved early when there are sporting fixtures or concerts taking place. The same applies for local holidays. Hotels in New Orleans , for example, get booked out early for ‘Mardi Gras' festivities, while  hotels in Mexico  can be hard to come by for 'Day of the Dead' celebrations.

How can I find the cheapest hotels?

To find the cheapest hotel rooms, you'll need to consider several factors that affect the price. The time of year you visit can play a major role in price, with the off-season tending to be cheaper overall. Hotels with lower star ratings are going to be more affordable as well. Additionally, you'll find cheaper options in less popular neighborhoods, which can be an easy way to save since a lot of cheap neighborhoods in popular destinations are located right next to the hot spots. Keep in mind, however, that these are general trends rather than strict rules. Hop over to the  cheap hotels  page for gathering budget accommodation ideas. There, you could score the best cheap hotels in the United States of America  and countless more popular spots across the globe. You'll also see alternative cheap lodging options, including  hostels , vacation home rentals and motels .

How can I find some of the best deals on hotels?

If you're looking for the best hotel deals, you'll want to implement several filters into your search. You can sort your results by price so that the cheapest options are automatically put at the top of the list. Then, adjust your filters to match your budget, and whether or not you want to only include fully refundable properties. If you become a member, you'll find even more hotel discounts.

You can also download and book through the  Expedia app  to unlock exclusive discounts on select  United States hotels  and destinations worldwide. You could land significant savings on  Los Angeles hotels , as well as generous discounts on  hotels in Chicago  and other top holiday spots. When booking in advance, you'll often score early-bird deals. That said, don't rule out last-minute offers, especially during low-season dates . Hotels in Key West  and other American seaside resorts often have amazing discounts outside of the school holidays.

Why should I book a hotel with Expedia?

When you book with Expedia, planning the ultimate vacation is easier than ever. Not only will you be able to find a hotel for your trip, but we can take care of your flight as well, with the potential for additional savings if you book your flight and your stay together. Plus, you'll find flexible cancellation policies on numerous hotels along with opportunities for booking on short notice. You can become a member of our One Key Loyalty Rewards program for free and enjoy even more discounts.

There are also  'book now, pay later' hotels . As well as amazing deals, you'll have 24/7 access to support through the  service  page, giving you peace of mind while travelling.

Are hotels fully refundable on Expedia?

Some hotels offer flexible cancellation policies when you book with Expedia. You'll be able to see on the results page which hotels in your search are fully refundable, as each that qualifies will be marked with "fully refundable" in green letters. Additionally, you can set the 'fully refundable' filter when searching to only show results that offer free cancellation hotels .

What types of accommodation can I find on Expedia?

You'll encounter a plethora of different lodging types on Expedia, such as charming boutique hotels in Cancun and more tropical destinations. Large family-friendly and adult-only  hotels in Hawaii  and other beach resorts are popular among those seeking a relaxing break in the sun. For even more comfort, consider  all-inclusive hotels in Puerto Rico and other summer holiday spots. This type of accommodation includes all meals and drinks, so you don't even have to lift a finger while on holiday.  Bed and breakfasts ,  apartments  and holiday ski hotels  are just some of the other lodging types you can choose from.

Is it possible to filter accommodations based on specific amenities?

Yes, you'll find an array of filters that let you laser in on the best places to stay based on the amenities you need. Whether you need business facilities in your  Manhattan Hotel or are seeking relaxing  spa hotels in Miami , Expedia's many search filters make it easy to find the best place to stay.

How can I explore different star-rated accommodations and accommodation brands?

If you like to stay in a specific hotel, type the brand name into the search bar to see all available options. Expedia works with most of the major chains, including Hilton, Hyatt Hotels and Marriott. Scroll down further, and below the search field, you'll see the filters for star ratings. Whether you're seeking  5-star hotels in Nashville  or  budget hotels in New York , Expedia makes booking a breeze.

Are there accommodations located near popular points of interest or in specific neighborhoods?

One of the great things about using Expedia's hotel booking site is that you can filter search results by area and popular locations. For example, when searching for  hotels in Orlando , you can select the “Walt Disney World® Resort” filter to view properties near the theme park. There's even a handy map so you can pinpoint the best place to stay in destinations worldwide.

Are luxury accommodations available on Expedia, and how can I book them?

If you're seeking a high-end experience, take your pick from the many  luxury hotels  available on Expedia. You can locate upscale lodging by ticking filters, like 5-star hotels, or ordering results by 'price high to low' and 'Guest rating + our choice'.

Do you cater to different types of travelers, such as business or leisure travelers?

Of course. When searching and booking a hotel room, you can filter by hotel and traveller type, including:

  • Family-friendly
  • All-Inclusive
  • LGBTQ-welcoming
  • Business-friendly

Stowe, Vermont

best weekend trips 2020

Stowe may be a popular ski destination, but it's equally appealing in the fall with its abundance of outdoor pursuits. And, obviously, the foliage alone is reason enough to visit. The 68-room Topnotch Resort sits on an expansive 120 acres with views of Mount Mansfield. Hotel activities include horseback riding, ATV tours, biking, wagon rides, and, for something a little more relaxing, a lovely spa.

Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts

Want to escape to a quaint New England seaside village? Look no further than Martha's Vineyard, with its miles of beaches and historic houses. Stay in Edgartown, a former whaling port, and you'll have access to shops, galleries, and restaurants galore. The Christopher is a chic boutique hotel with just 15 rooms that mix modern design with a classic New England aesthetic. For a seamless—and fast (read: no traffic)—trip from the New York area, book a flight on Tradewind Aviation.

It is a bit of a trek to get to this Colorado hideaway, but so worth it for its unlimited supply of fresh mountain air. The Madeline Hotel & Residences, an Auberge Resort , is surrounded on three sides by the majestic San Juan Mountains. Horseback ride through Colorado's backcountry, go fly fishing, cycle the mountains, or simply let the hotel set up a picnic feast for you in the middle of a scenic alpine meadow. However you choose to spend your days, you're guaranteed to return home refreshed.

A quick two-hour drive from New York City, Washington, Connecticut has long been a retreat for a very discerning, moneyed crowd, because of its rolling hills, historic architecture, and proximity to the city. Soak that all in at the grand Mayflower Inn & Spa, an Auberge Resort , set on 58 acres of manicured gardens and woodland. There's plenty to do, including hiking, fly-fishing, archery, tennis, and croquet. In 2021, for its 100th anniversary, the hotel was refreshed by celebrated designer Celerie Kemble.

Malibu, California

best weekend trips 2020

This 27-mile stretch of sparkling ocean and beach is the epitome of barefoot luxury, which is why so many Hollywood A-listers own homes here. Hotels are pretty scarce, all the more lending to Malibu's locals-only vibe. Stay at the 47-room Malibu Beach Inn , located right on the water on a strip of coastline nicknamed Billionaire's Beach for all of its famous homeowners, like Larry Ellison, who owns 10 properties. For a real splurge, book a room at the intimate 16-room Nobu Ryokan , an oasis like no other that marries serene Japanese minimalism with the iconic California coast.

Annapolis, Maryland

Just 45 minutes outside of Washington, D.C., Annapolis feels a world apart. Yes, it's home to the United States Naval Academy, but it's far more than a college town. Embrace its nautical legacy with a visit to the Annapolis Maritime Museum, followed by an afternoon out on the water. And then enjoy Maryland's famous crabs for dinner before retiring to 134 Prince , a luxury inn in a Dutch Colonial home.

For East Coasters, Bermuda makes for a perfect weekend getaway. It's just a two-hour flight from NYC and Washington, D.C., meaning it basically takes less time to get there than it does to drive out to the Hamptons. Once you're on the island, head to The Loren at Pink Beach if you're in the mood for a little solitude. The property's one- and three-bedroom villas have their own private pools, making them prime spots for lounging and sipping on Bermuda's famed rum swizzles.

A gateway to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor is everything you'd want from a coastal New England town, from stellar seafood restaurants to a bustling harbor from which you can easily hop on a boat for the day. The Primrose is a cottage-style inn built in 1878, but completely refreshed with new decor in 2020.

The North Fork, New York

The South Fork of Long Island (aka the Hamptons and Montauk) may be buzzier, but for a more low-key, quiet, and down-to-earth alternative, head to the North Fork. Oysters at Little Creek Oyster Farm in Greenport are a must, as are the homemade pies at Briermere Farms in Riverhead. Then spend your afternoons visiting the area's many wineries, such as Bedell, Sparkling Pointe, and Kontokosta before retiring to the Sound View Greenport , a chic hotel where every room looks out onto the Long Island Sound and has direct access to the private beach.

Asheville, North Carolina

Drive the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway on your way to Asheville—the fall foliage is particularly spectacular, though the views are majestic no matter the season. There, you'll want to spend plenty of time at the impressive Biltmore Estate, the largest private home in the country, built by George Vanderbilt at the end of the 19th century. While you can't stay in the home itself, you can stay on the property at the Inn on Biltmore Estate , which grants you access to the Biltmore gardens, Antler Hill Village, and the Biltmore Winery.

When the Asbury Hotel opened in 2016, it promised to bring about a much classier era to the oft-maligned Jersey Shore—and, in particular, the city of Asbury Park. It's just an hour away from New York City, but will feel like a proper vacation. Aside from the beach, which is a block away, the Asbury has plenty of al fresco spaces fit for play, including an expansive rooftop space that screens outdoor movies.

Cape May is perhaps the most charming of all of New Jersey's beach towns, thanks to the colorful Victorian-era houses that line its streets.

World’s 30 Best Travel Destinations, Ranked

Best places to visit in the world.

Bali, one of the best travel destinations

The ultimate ranking of travel destinations aims to solve a serious problem: so many places to visit, so little time.

But even in a world with a trillion destinations, some manage to stand out and rise to the top. From the sleek skyscrapers of Dubai to the emerald-green waters of the Bora Bora lagoon, you’re sure to find at least one vacation that piques your interest (and likely several!).

These are the 30 best places to visit in the world. Which ones have you already been to? And which ones stoke your wanderlust most?

30. Argentine Patagonia

Traveler in Argentine Patagonia

In this region of the Andes, you’ll find glaciers, evergreen trees, deep blue lakes and clear skies everywhere you look. For a trip full of adventure and discovery, there are few better destinations on the planet.

No trip is complete without a visit to the craggy Mount Fitz Roy, the historic (and mysterious) Cave of the Hands, the Punta Tombo wildlife preserve, the Peninsula Valdes marine wildlife refuge and the impressive Perito Moreno Glacier. Be sure to bring your camera and your sense of wonder.

*Rankings are based on U.S. News & World Report's " World's Best Places to Visit ," traveler ratings as well as our own editorial input.

What to Know Before You Go to Argentine Patagonia

Argentine Patagonia Glacier National Park

Where to stay: Cyan Soho Neuquen Hotel

Hot tip: Since springtime occurs in the southern hemisphere in October and November, those months are your best bet when planning a trip.

Fun fact: The largest dinosaur fossils ever unearthed were found in Argentine Patagonia. They belong to the largest-known titanosaur, believed to have weighed about 83 tons.

29. Amalfi Coast, Italy

Campania, Amalfi Coast

Set in the Sorrentina Peninsula, the Amalfi Coast has long been renowned for its natural beauty and idyllic coastal towns. During the golden age of Hollywood, it was a preferred vacation spot for glamorous movie stars.

Days here are spent eating Italian food, drinking wine and walking around colorful cobblestone streets. You can also expect to drink copious amounts of wine as you look out into the Mediterranean Sea.

The best way to see the coast is to rent a car and then drive to different towns each day.

What to Know Before You Go to the Amalfi Coast

Amalfi Coast road

Where to stay: Hotel Marina Riviera

Hot tip:  If you're planning on using a beach chair to work on your tan, make sure you wake up early, as they are usually first come, first served.

Fun fact:  The Amalfi Coast is featured in Sofia Loren's 1995 Film, "Scandal in Sorrento."

28. Cancun, Mexico

Beach sunset in Cancun

For years, Cancun has been the preferred getaway for East Coast Americans (particularly Floridians) who want an international getaway that's still close to home. But despite the droves of tourists, the area has managed to keep the charm that attracted people in the first place.

The city is known mostly for its luxury hotels, wild nightlife and warm beaches. Definitely indulge in all of these — as well as the Mexican food! — but also consider other activities like visiting Mayan ruins, swimming in cenotes and snorkeling. One thing is certain: You won't run out of things to do in Cancun .

What to Know Before You Go to Cancun

Cenote Zaci, Mexico

Where to stay: Hyatt Zilara Cancun

Hot tip:  While you're in Cancun, make a plan to visit one of Grupo Xcaret's six eco-tourism parks, with the best ones being Xcaret and Xelha. The Mexican-owned company is credited with starting the eco-tourism trend in the Yucatan Peninsula, and the parks offer incredible and varied local experiences.

Fun fact:  The Yucatan Peninsula, where Cancun is located, was the cultural, political and economic center of the Mayan civilization. Many locals have Mayan ancestry and Mayan continues to be widely spoken in the area.

27. San Francisco, California

Close up of Golden Gate Bridge

Everyone should visit San Francisco at least once in their lives. Though tech companies grab all the headlines these days, it remains down-to-earth, diverse and packed with things to do.

Where to start? No matter your style, you’ll want to check out the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge, see the sunbathing sea lions at Fisherman’s Wharf, take a tour of the historic prison Alcatraz and relax in one of the city’s many parks, especially Dolores Park for its epic people-watching on the weekends. 

For dinner, treat your tastebuds and make a reservation at one of the many Michelin-starred restaurants in the Bay Area .

What to Know Before You Go to San Francisco

San Francisco houses

Where to stay: The Westin St. Francis San Francisco on Union Square

Hot tip: Want similarly beautiful landscapes and rich cultural attractions, but at lower prices and with (slightly) fewer crowds? Head to Oakland just across the Bay Bridge, named one of the most exciting places on earth to travel by National Geographic. 

Fun fact: The fortune cookie was invented in San Francisco by a Japanese resident. Random!

26. Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls in autumn Canadian side

Niagara Falls is one of the largest waterfalls in the world . The power with which water storms down cliffs on the border between the United States and Canada has captivated the imagination of humans for centuries. 

This natural wonder is comprised of three awe-inspiring falls. One of the best ways to experience them is on a boat tour.

What to Know Before You Go to Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls boat tour

Where to stay: Sheraton Niagara Falls

Hot tip: There is some debate about which side of the falls is better, but the general verdict is that the Canadian side offers better views. This is because you can (ironically) get a better view of the American Falls as well as get up close to Horseshoe Falls. 

Fun fact:  Established in 1885, Niagara Falls State Park is the oldest state park in the U.S.

25. Yellowstone National Park

Bison at the Great Prismatic Spring

Located mostly in Wyoming as well as Montana and Idaho, Yellowstone is America’s first national park and remains one of the most popular in the country, welcoming more than around 3.3 million people in 2022. With unpredictable geysers, rainbow-colored hot springs, craggy peaks, shimmering lakes and tons of wildlife — from elk to boars to bison — it’s easy to see why so many people flock here. 

The park makes for an awesome family trip and is well-suited to budget travelers since it offers so many campsites ( over 2,000! ). 

What to Know Before You Go to Yellowstone

Old Faithful Geiser erupting, Yellowstone

Where to stay: Stage Coach Inn

Hot tip: You’ll never fully beat the crowds at this wildly popular park, but April, May, September and November are your best bets for finding some solitude.  

Fun fact: Yellowstone is larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined.  

24. Great Barrier Reef, Australia

snorkle Destinations: Great Barrier Reef, Australia

As the largest reef in the world, the Great Barrier Reef is home to thousands of marine species. This makes it a paradise for scuba diving or snorkeling. 

The reef system is truly gigantic, with over 600 islands and about 2,900 individual reefs. This is one of Australia's greatest prides, but it's also a planetary national treasure. Seeing it with your own two eyes is an experience that is incredible beyond words.

What to Know Before You Go to the Great Barrier Reef

23. Santorini, Greece

White washed houses in Santorini

With its picturesque blue-domed churches, whitewashed buildings and colorful beaches, the island of Santorini is a photographer’s paradise. If you want to snap photos to post to Instagram and make everyone back home jealous, this is the place to go. 

Also make sure to experience some of Santorini’s archaeologically significant sites, like Ancient Akrotiri (an ancient city preserved by volcanic ash) and Ancient Thera (where humans lived as early as the 9th century BC). And don’t forget to visit the smaller islands that surround it, including Thirassia, Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni. 

What to Know Before You Go to Santorini

Santorini houses

Where to stay: Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Santorini

Hot tip: To optimize your vacation, visit in September and October or April and May — when the weather is still warm, but there aren’t as many other tourists milling around.

Fun fact: While it’s difficult to prove, locals like to say there’s more wine than water on this island where it hardly rains (and vino abounds).

22. Florence, Italy

Florience center, Italy

For art and history buffs (and anyone who appreciates delicious Italian food), Florence is a must-visit city. 

As the birthplace of the Renaissance, it’s home to some of the most iconic artworks by the world’s premier artists throughout history — Michaelangelo, Brunelleschi and Donatello, just to name a few. In addition to art museums and architectural wonders, Florence is also home to chic shops, quaint cafes and spectacular gardens. 

What to Know Before You Go to Florence

Il Duomo, Florence

Where to stay:  NH Collection Firenze Porta Rossa

Hot tip: Keep Florence in mind if you want to spend your honeymoon in Europe without spending a fortune, according to U.S. News & World Report.

Fun fact: The city’s famed “El Duomo” cathedral took over 140 years to build .

21. Yosemite National Park, California

Yosemite Falls

Yosemite, one of the most-visited national parks in America with more than 4 million annual guests, encompasses 750,000 acres of wilderness just waiting to be explored.

It’s home to scenic waterfalls, like the 317-foot Vernal Fall and the 617-foot Bridalveil Fall, as well as iconic rock formations like El Capitan and Half Dome, two popular spots for the world’s best rock climbers to test their mettle.

Not surprisingly, the wildlife here also impresses. Dozens of species of butterflies, marmots, bobcats and mule deer are just some of the animals that call Yosemite home. And keep your eyes peeled for black bears; some 300 to 500 roam the park . 

What to Know Before You Go to Yosemite

Yosemite National Park

Where to stay:  The Ahwahnee

Hot tip: Summer can get really busy here, so if you want to camp, be sure to book a spot early. Want to beat Yosemite’s notoriously bad traffic? Ditch the car and take advantage of the park’s extensive free bus system.

Fun fact: This is one of the only places in the country where you can catch a moonbow — like a rainbow, but created by the light of the moon instead of the sun. 

20. St. Lucia

St. Lucia Les Pitons

Whether you’re visiting on a cruise ship or just relaxing at an all-inclusive resort or boutique hotel, stunning St. Lucia is a clear winner. This Caribbean island offers diverse terrain for vacationers, from its pristine beaches to its lush rainforests to its volcanic peaks, the Pitons, that loom over the landscape. 

Adrenaline-junkies love hiking, climbing and zip-lining, while newlyweds (and soon-to-be-married couples) enjoy the romantic mix of fine dining, adults-only resorts and exotic activities. 

What to Know Before You Go to St. Lucia

St. Lucia boats

Where to stay: Rabot Hotel From Hotel Chocolat

Hot tip: Visit when temperatures are moderate, which is typically in May and June.

Fun fact: St. Lucia is the only country named after a woman: Christian martyr Saint Lucia of Syracuse.

19. Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai skyscrappers

Everything is bigger and better in Dubai, home to one of the world’s largest shopping malls, tallest towers, largest man-made marinas — and the list goes on. 

This Las Vegas-like urban center in the United Arab Emirates has an eclectic mix of activities for visitors to enjoy, including beaches, waterparks, tons of shopping and even an indoor ski resort. Outside the skyscraper-filled city, the vast desert awaits, best enjoyed via quad-biking or sandboarding.

What to Know Before You Go to Dubai

Dubai beach

Where to stay:  Five Palm Jumeirah Dubai

Hot tip: Though you’re likely to pay a pretty penny for a trip to Dubai no matter when you visit, you can save a little cash by visiting during the scalding-hot summer months and by booking your hotel room two to three months in advance.

Fun fact: Dubai’s man-made Palm Islands were constructed using enough imported sand to fill up 2.5 Empire State Buildings . 

18. Machu Picchu, Peru

Machu Picchu, Peru

Many travelers describe their visit to Machu Picchu as life-changing. Why? It’s an archaeological wonder, the remains of an ancient Incan city dating back more than 600 years. No wonder this is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most-visited attraction in all of Peru. 

Be sure to visit significant sites like Funerary Rock, where it’s believed Incan nobility were mummified, and Temple of the Condor, a rock temple sculpted to look like the impressive bird in its name.  

What to Know Before You Go to Machu Picchu

Llamas in Machu Picchu

Where to stay: Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel

Hot tip: If you’re planning a trip, be sure to get your ticket in advance, as only 2,500 people can visit Machu Picchu each day. (And a lot of people have this destination on their bucket list.)

Fun fact: The site contains more than 100 separate flights of stairs . 

17. Sydney, Australia

Sydney Harbor with boats

With its iconic Opera House and lively Bondi Beach, Sydney is the perfect spot to vacation if you’re looking for a blend of culture, arts, nightlife and relaxation. 

Spend the day on the water at Darling Harbour, then head to the Royal Botanic garden for even more fresh air. Want to travel like a local? Get a ticket to a rugby match and order a Tim Tam, a popular chocolate-covered cookie that pairs well with coffee. 

What to Know Before You Go to Sydney

Sydney Opera House in the evening

Where to stay: Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

Hot tip: You can make your trip more affordable by visiting during Sydney’s shoulder seasons, which are typically September through November and March through May.

Fun fact: In 2007, Bondi Beach was the site of the largest ever swimsuit photoshoot ; 1,010 bikini-clad women participated, enough to earn it a spot in the Guinness World Records book.

16. Grand Canyon, Arizona

Grand Canyon from observation point

The Grand Canyon is truly massive (277 river miles long and up to 18 miles wide!), which helps explain why so many people feel the urge to see it in person. 

In 2022, 4.7 million people visited, making the Grand Canyon the second-most popular national park in the country (behind Great Smoky Mountain Nationals Park). Established in 1919, the park offers activities for all ability levels, whether you want to do an intense hike down into the canyon and sleep under the stars (with a backcountry permit, of course) or simply want to saunter along the South Rim Trail, an easy walking path with views that wow.

What to Know Before You Go to the Grand Canyon

Family in the Grand Canyon

Where to stay:  The Grand Hotel at the Grand Canyon

Hot tip: If you’ve wanted to visit the Grand Canyon for a while now, this is the year to do it. The park is celebrating its 100th birthday with musical performances, lectures, screenings and other special events.

Fun fact: The most remote community in the continental U.S. can be found in the Grand Canyon. At the base of the canyon, Supai Village — part of the Havasupi Indian Reservation — has a population of 208. It’s inaccessible by road, and mail is delivered by pack mule. Want to see it for yourself? The village houses a collection of campsites , accessible via a hiking trail.

15. Bali, Indonesia

Landmark Temple Gates in Bali

In recent years, Bali has become a popular expat destination, where groups of "digital nomads" work and play. 

But the island hasn't lost its original charm to this added tourism and continues to be an incredible destination. Divide your time between swimming in the beach, hiking active volcanoes, visiting temples and enjoying views of tiered rice terraces.

What to Know Before You Go to Bali

Pura Ulun Danu Bratan temple in Bali

Where to stay: Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach

Hot tip:  Though shoulder season (January to April and October to November) means fewer crowds and cheaper prices, it also means rain. Tons of it. We'd recommend avoiding the rainy season if possible.

Fun fact: On the Saka New Year, Balinese people celebrate Nyepi. This Hindu celebration is a day of silence when everything on the island shuts down and no noise is allowed.

14. New York, New York

New York City Manhattan

As the saying goes, New York City is “the city that never sleeps” — and you won’t want to either when you visit, lest you run out of time to take it all in. 

Be sure to check out newer attractions, like the High Line (an elevated park) and Hudson Yards (a mega-mall along the Hudson River), but also make time for some New York City classics, like catching a Broadway show or standing under the lights of Times Square. 

Foodies will have a hard time choosing where to eat (the city is home to almost 100 Michelin stars !), which is why an extended trip is always a good idea.

What to Know Before You Go to New York City

New York City Broadway

Where to stay: The Beekman, A Thompson Hotel

Hot tip: Yes, January and February get cold here, but this is also the best time to lock in relatively reasonable hotel rates. You can spend your time eating in the city’s restaurants, exploring its fabulous museums and catching its world-class theater shows without needing to spend much time in the chilly outdoors. 

Fun fact: There’s a birth in New York City about every 4.4 minutes — and a death every 9.1 minutes. 

13. Banff National Park, Canada

Banff Lake Louise

Some of the world’s most stunning mountain scenery and vistas are located in Banff, the tiny Canadian town located at 4,537 feet above sea level inside the national park by the same name. Banff is the highest town in Canada, and Banff National Park was Canada’s first, established in 1885.

Shred some powder at Banff’s three ski resorts in the winter, then come back in the summer for activities like hiking, biking, fishing and scrambling (scaling steep terrain using nothing but your hands).

What to Know Before You Go to Banff

Kayaking in Banff National Park

Where to stay: Fairmont Banff Springs

Hot tip: June to August and December to March are the best times to visit if you want to take advantage of summer and winter activities. 

Fun fact: Banff National Park has more than 1,000 glaciers.

12. Maldives

Sunset in the Maldives

You can look at picture after picture, but you still really need to visit the Maldives to believe its beauty. If rich sunsets, flour-like beaches and vibrant blue waters are your style, this is the destination for you. 

Though it’s somewhat difficult to get to this small island nation southwest of Sri Lanka, that also means it’s incredibly private and secluded, which makes it the perfect spot for a honeymoon or romantic beach getaway. 

And don’t worry about getting bored, either — explore the water by snorkeling or scuba diving, relax in the spa or wander around the bustling Male’ Fish Market.

What to Know Before You Go to Maldives

Maldives overwater bungalows

Where to stay: Velassaru Maldives

Hot tip: May to October is the island-nation’s rainy season — but that also means it’s the best time to go for fewer crowds and better rates.

Fun fact: In 1153 AD, the nation’s people converted to Islam. Today, the Maldives remains the most heavily Muslim country on earth.

11. Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona, Sagrada Familia

Soccer, architecture, shopping, nightlife, world-class food and wine, arts and culture — is there anything Barcelona doesn’t have? If there is, we honestly can't think what it would be. 

This cosmopolitan Spanish city is home to some awe-inspiring architecture, including several buildings designed by Antoni Gaudi, so be sure to book tours of his whimsical creations like Park Guell and the yet-to-be-finished Church of the Sacred Family (La Sagrada Familia). 

For nightlife and shopping, Las Ramblas is always bustling; for an enriching arts experience, follow the progression of famed artist Pablo Picasso at Museo Picasso.

What to Know Before You Go to Barcelona

Barcelona Park Guell

Where to stay:  Hotel Bagues

Hot tip: It can get really humid here, so it's best to plan your trip in May and June before things really heat up.

Fun fact: In preparation for its 1992 hosting of the Olympics, the city flew in sand from as far away as Egypt to make Barceloneta Beach a place where people would want to go. Though largely man-made, the beach remains a wonderful spot for seaside R&R. 

10. Glacier National Park, Montana

Glacier National Park in the winter

The crown jewel of beautiful Montana, Glacier National Park is every outdoors traveler's dream.

Of course, the most defining natural feature of the park are its glaciers, which provide spectacular views as well as a number of pristine lakes. There are hundreds of trails that will take you up peaks, down through valleys and across some of the most beautiful landscapes you'll ever see.

What to Know Before You Go to Glacier National Park

Mountain goats at Glacier National Park

Where to stay: Firebrand Hotel

Hot tip:  Plan to spend a day or two in the nearby town of Whitefish. This gateway to Glacier National Park is one of the best small towns in America and a destination in its own right. 

Fun fact: During your visit, you're very likely to run into mountain goats, which are the official symbols of the park.

9. Tokyo, Japan

Akihabara Tokyo

The Japanese capital is one of the most exciting cities on the entire planet. It is notoriously fast-paced, with neon lights illuminating the multitudes that are constantly rushing to their next destination. 

But Tokyo is also a city of temples, of taking time to picnic under the cherry blossoms and of making sure you enjoy the abundance of delicious food that can be found on basically every corner.

What to Know Before You Go to Tokyo

Sensoji temple , Tokyo

Where to stay: The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho, a Luxury Collection Hotel

Hot tip: Visit between the months of March and April or September and November for more comfortable temperatures. Of course, spring is when the city's cherry blossoms are famously in full bloom.

Fun fact: Tokyo happens to be the largest metropolitan area in the world, with more than 40 million people calling the greater metro area home.

8. Phuket, Thailand

Phuket boats

If you’re looking for a vacation destination that feels luxurious but won’t break the bank, start searching for flights to Phuket now. 

This island in southern Thailand, which is just an hour flight from Bangkok, is surrounded by the Andaman Sea, so white sandy beaches abound. If a stunning sunset is what you’re after, head to Promthep Cape, the southernmost point on the island and a popular spot for photo-ops. For views of the island and beyond, climb to the top of the massive alabaster statue called Big Buddha.

You can even learn something during your vacation by visiting the Soi Dog Foundation, an innovative animal shelter that’s fighting the meat trade and taking care of the thousands of stray cats and dogs in the area.

What to Know Before You Go to Phuket

Phuket temple

Where to stay: InterContinental Phuket Resort

Hot tip: Visit between November and April for the best weather — and ideal conditions for beach activities like swimming and boating. 

Fun fact: The island is not pronounced in the rather colorful way it appears to be. The correct way to say it is “poo-ket” or “poo-get.”

7. Rome, Italy

Rome, Colosseum

Though Rome’s historic significance cannot be overstated, don’t assume that this Italian city is stuck in the past. On the contrary, you’ll find posh storefronts and luxurious hotels not far from iconic structures like the Pantheon (built in 120 AD) and the Colosseum (built in 80 AD).

And then, of course, there’s the city’s art. Stroll through Rome, and you’ll stumble upon some of the greatest treasures the world has ever seen — an astonishing collection of frescoes, paintings, ceilings and fountains created by icons like Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Raphael and Bernini.

After all that exploration, take advantage of ample opportunities to eat and drink, including at several Michelin-starred restaurants. City staples include suppli (deep-fried balls of risotto, mozzarella and ragu meat sauce) and cacio e pepe (a deceptively simple mix of al-dente pasta, pecorino romano and fresh black pepper). 

What to Know Before You Go to Rome

Rome Spanish Plaza at dawn

Where to stay: Radisson Blu Ghr Hotel

Hot tip: Tourists congregate here in the summer when temperatures are also sweltering. Go instead between October and April, when there are thinner crowds, better rates and cooler temps. Just make sure to bring a light jacket.

Fun fact: Each year, travelers throw about $1.7 million worth of coins into the Trevi Fountain. The money is donated to Caritas, a Catholic nonprofit that supports charities focused on health, disaster relief, poverty and migration.

6. London, England

Modern bridge London

English writer Samual Johnson once said, “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” 

From live performances of Shakespeare to truly world-class (and free!) museums like the National Gallery, London will enrich your mind and enliven your senses. Of course, no visit would be complete without a stop at Buckingham Palace to see the famous stone-faced guards outside and the 19 lavish State Rooms inside (though, unfortunately, you can’t see the queen’s private quarters). Another must-see landmark is the Tower of London, the historic castle on the north side of the River Thames.

What to Know Before You Go to London

London in the spring

Where to stay: Vintry & Mercer

Hot tip: Many U.S. cities now offer direct flights to London, so set a price alert and act fast when you see fares drop.

Fun fact: London’s pubs are worth a visit for their names alone; fanciful monikers include The Case is Altered, The Pyrotechnists Arms, John the Unicorn and The Job Centre. 

5. Tahiti, French Polynesia

Tahiti, French Polynesia

Flavorful French cuisine, top-notch resorts, warm waters — need we say more? Though Tahiti can be pricey, travelers say it’s so worth it. 

The largest of the 118 French Polynesian islands, Tahiti is split into two main regions (connected by a land bridge). Tahiti Nui, the larger region, is home to the island’s capital Papeete and surfing hotspot Papenoo Beach, while Tahiti Iti, the smaller region, offers more seclusion and the bright white sands of La Plage de Maui.

What to Know Before You Go to Tahiti

Tahiti bungalows during sunset

Where to stay: Hilton Hotel Tahiti

Hot tip: Visit between May and October, Tahiti’s winter, when there are less humidity and rain. 

Fun fact: Overcrowding is not a concern here; Hawaii gets more visitors in 10 days than all of French Polynesia does in a year.

4. Maui, Hawaii

Rocky beach in Maui

If you’re short on time or you just can’t decide which Hawaiian island to visit, Maui is right in the sweet spot: not too big, not too small, but just right.

There are five regions to explore on Maui, including the popular West Maui and South Maui, home to some of the island’s best-known attractions and beaches (Wailea Beach is in South Maui, for example). But don’t overlook East Maui, where you can travel along the Road to Hana, or the Upcountry, where you can explore the world’s largest dormant volcano, Haleakala. 

What to Know Before You Go to Maui

Maui cave

Where to stay:  Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea

Hot tip: This is Hawaii we’re talking about, so your trip will be on the pricey side. Be sure to budget for add-ons if you need them (think gym access and WiFi at your hotel), and do some research on insurance before you head to the car-rental counter.

Fun fact: How’s this for a selling point? Maui has more beach than any other Hawaiian island — 60 miles of it, with red, white and black sand.

3. Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Bora Bora overwater bungalows

Don’t write off the French Polynesian island of Bora Bora just because of its size. Though it’s a little more than 2 miles wide and just 6 miles long, Bora Bora packs in an abundance of natural beauty. To start, you won’t be able to take your eyes off the island’s turquoise lagoon surrounded by lush jungle.

If you’re looking for more than relaxation on your trip, consider hiking or booking a 4X4 tour of Mount Otemanu, part of an extinct volcano that rises 2,400 feet above the lagoon. You can also snorkel among the coral reef of Coral Gardens, where you might catch a glimpse of reef sharks, eels and stingrays.

Because of its remoteness, flying into Bora Bora Airport will be quite a journey, no matter where you're departing from. But you'll forget everything as soon as you see this Polynesian paradise that is beautiful beyond words.

What to Know Before You Go to Bora Bora

Bora Bora Island

Where to stay: Conrad Bora Bora Nui

Hot tip: Though Bora Bora can be wildly expensive to visit, you can cut costs by visiting between December and March (though you should avoid the Christmas holiday) and by bringing your own alcohol and sunscreen with you.

Fun fact: Bora Bora is one of the countries that no longer exists . The Kingdom of Bora Bora was an independent state until it was forcefully overtaken and annexed by France in 1888.

2. Paris, France

Paris from the Arc de Triumph

Paris has it all — incredible cuisine, legendary landmarks and centuries of history. Those are just some of the reasons it’s the second-best place to visit in the world.

Though you’ll want to spend your time hitting up popular tourist spots like the Eiffel Tower and the Musee d’Orsay, you should also carve out time to explore other parts of Paris — the city’s 20 diverse neighborhoods, called arrondissements, for instance. Standouts include the 2nd arrondissement, which touts covered passages and some of the city’s hippest restaurants, and the romantic 18th arrondissement, with charming squares, cafes and bars, set apart from the city’s more tourist-packed areas.

What to Know Before You Go to Paris

Paris Montmartre at dawn

Where to stay: Grand Hotel Du Palais Royal

Hot tip: Yes, summer in Paris is busy, but the weather is also ideal — average highs are in the 70s.

Fun fact: Built for the 1889 World Fair, the Eiffel Tower was originally meant to be temporary , and was almost torn down in 1909. Luckily, local officials saw its value as a radiotelegraph station, preserving the future tourist icon for generations to come. 

1. South Island, New Zealand

Milford Sound

South Island, the larger but less populated of the two islands that make up New Zealand, earn this top-spot honor for its gorgeous scenery, adrenelin-pumping experiences and affordability.

The 33.5-mile hike on Milford Sound, which is limited to 90 people at a time, is considered one of the world’s best treks, with stops at Lake Te Anau, suspension bridges, a mountain pass and the tallest waterfall in the country, Sutherland Falls.

For a heart-pumping experience, you can jump out of a helicopter while flying over the Harris Mountains with skis on your feet. Still not satisfied? Roam Fiordland National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage area, and explore the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers, two of the most accessible glaciers in the world.

What to Know Before You Go to New Zealand

South Island, New Zealand

Where to stay: QT Queenstown

Hot tip: Book your trip for the fall, when South Island is temperate, not overcrowded and offers great rates. Bonus: This is also when the island is at its most stunning.

Fun fact: New Zealand natives, called Kiwis, are among the most hospitable you’ll ever meet. The local saying “He aha te mea nui o te ao. He tangata, he tangata, he tangata” translates , appropriately, to “What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people.”

Belmond Hotel Splendido

20. Splendido Mare , A Belmond Hotel, Portofino Arrow

The Splendido Mare, once a fishermen’s guesthouse, is the 14-room harborside sister of Belmond’s Splendido, a hillside hideout that started life as a Benedictine monastery before becoming a hotel in 1901, then a magnet for movie stars (Elizabeth Taylor had four honeymoons there). Its makeover, by in-demand Parisians Charlotte de Tonnac and Hugo Sauzay, is exquisite—local terra-cotta tiles and nautical nods, such as the knots woven into headboards in quietly lavish rooms, with Gio Ponti armchairs and rich Loro Piana fabrics. Everything is done subtly, almost unnoticeably, and there’s a deceptive simplicity to the cooking of brothers Enrico and Roberto Cerea. Their restaurant in Bergamo has three Michelin stars, but here they stick mostly to seafood and Ligurian classics, including a sublime pesto trofie . This is Portofino , after all, which is above all discreet—a place where the actors and the aperitivo-sipping locals don’t much bother one another. 

Le Sirenuse Positano Italy

19. Le Sirenuse Arrow

A legend even along a coast full of legends, this classic hotel is more than the sum of its parts. The center was the aristocratic Sersale family’s summer villa in Positano. Four siblings opened the house to guests in 1951 with eight rooms and a large terrace facing the sea. Franco Sersale was responsible for a major expansion and refurbishment in the 1990s; he was not only a passionate art collector but also an inveterate world traveler and photographer. Present owners Antonio and Carla Sersale are also collectors, and each year invite an artist to make a site-specific piece, including Martin Creed, Stanley Whitney, and Matt Connors. Most bedrooms are not huge, but are lovely, with traditional tiled floors, antique chests, and balconies with tables and chairs overlooking the steep climb through the village down to the beach. La Sponda, the hotel's main restaurant, with its 400 candles and bougainvillea-strewn dining room, is one of the coast’s top dinner spots, as much for the atmosphere as for food.

Mandarin Oriental Lago di Como Italy

18. Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como Arrow

A stay here is all about cultured ease and the kind of sublime Italian landscapes associated with grand tour oil paintings, rather than the selfie-mad scene of Puglia or the Amalfi Coast . Mandarin Oriental Lago di Como, the Asia-based group’s first European country retreat, is a renovation of an 18th-century opera singer’s lakeside estate, with immaculately tended gardens and a pool that seems to float on the surface of the lake. But it puts a spin on the old-school formula with classy mod-Med restaurant L’Aria under the guidance of Southern Italian chef Vincenzo Guarino and interiors by American designer Eric Egan that preserve as much as possible of the theatrical neoclassical atmosphere, while giving it a subtle Far Eastern twist. The main building, Villa Roccabruna—which contains reception, CO.MO Bar & Bistrot, Sala Mandarin lounge, and a lovely little basement spa—is the hotel’s opulent core. It also houses 10 suites; the other 63 rooms are spread around eight additional buildings on the shore-hugging property. Much is brand new, yet the greatest compliment one can pay this hotel is to say that it feels like it’s always been here, down to barman Luca De Filippis’s French 75 variation, made with local gin and linden honey.

17. Grand Hotel Miramare Arrow

A noble hospitality heritage meets guests’ contemporary needs and desires (and the occasional fantasy) at Grand Hotel Miramare, a luxury hotel in Santa Margherita Ligure a short way from Portofino and Cinque Terre . The Art Nouveau building gleams white in the sun amid century-old gardens. But for all of the grandeur, what most seduces are the intimate and almost down-home touches. Owner Andrea Fustinoni affectionately calls the hotel the Mira, which speaks to the feeling of being welcomed into a private residence. Each of the 36 deluxe rooms has a sea view, while the 26 superior rooms all have balconies or patios overlooking the hotel’s gardens as they rise toward the foothills of Mount Portofino.

16. Villa Sant'Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare Arrow

Currently closed for the season through March of 2024—springtime in Taormina being well worth the wait, our readers agree—this Belmond entry is lauded in large part for its sublime location and the views afforded as a result. The villa was originally built in 1919 by a family of aristocrats to serve as their private retreat, and the intimacy of such a setting fabulously survived the property's transformation into a hotel come the 1950s. There are, of course, modern splashes: a complimentary shuttle brings guests into Taormina proper in around 15 minutes, with a similarly free-with-admission, White Lotus -style boat excursion during the summer months. Onsite dining restaurant Brizza, which can accommodate just 12 guests at a time, gets special mentions from our readers, with one writing wistfully, “A dinner at Brizza, barefoot...”

Borgo Egnazia Italy

15. Borgo Egnazia Arrow

Celebrities (Madonna, the Beckhams) keep delightful Puglian resort Borgo Egnazia in the news. The heart of this hotel, however, lies not in the private villas where they hide away, but in the pretty piazzas of Il Borgo and La Corte. It's all dreamily beautiful, the way the harsh Mediterranean sun hits the mellow tufu limestone from which the buildings have been honed, the shock of bougainvillea that has crept up every wall, the softness, the shadows, the dusky lanes between the hotel rooms. Rooms are soaring and elegant, cool stone underfoot, mini posies of dried lavender on shelves, huge linen cushions, and sun-trap terraces. They are retreats in themselves, some with their own little kitchens, others with swimming pools, or sea views from the rooftops. The restaurants are smart, with traditional Italian splatterware plates and bowls, and food made straight from the fields you see around you: broccoli, tomatoes, eggplants, pasta made with the local semolina flour, very good olive oil. There is the sweetest children’s club you’ll ever stumble across, and a supremely cool beach hangout, and a spa that is mesmerizing and magical. At night the entire place is lit by citronella lanterns, smoking into the warm air. Sometimes a bonfire crackles in the central square. A deeply special place.

Grand Hotel Tremezzo

14. Grand Hotel Tremezzo Arrow

This glam Art Nouveau retreat on Lake Como epitomizes Italian excess in all the right ways: exquisite parquet floors in the breezy open foyer, oil paintings of Botticelli-esque beauties in the intimate T Bar, and tufted, gem-colored sofas in the sitting room. The rooms are no less ornate—baroque buffs will appreciate the gilded bed frames and mirrors, along with the high ceilings, floor-sweeping curtains, and wall sconces. There’s a pool plunked directly in the lake, embedded neatly like a sapphire, that’s worth dipping into once you’ve had a treatment at the T Spa. At the main restaurant, La Terrazza Gualtiero Marchesi, the view is the main draw. The on-site trattoria, L’Escale, is another fine choice for dinner. During the day, take Ruy or Batt, the hotel’s slender mahogany water limousines, for a spin around Lake Como, or a jaunt up the coast to the historic, azalea-shrouded Villa Carlotta for a day of exploring.

Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo Italy

13. Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel Arrow

The first hotel in Taormina, Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo still dazzles guests with views and history that have been here for more than a century. The hotel overlooks the terra-cotta rooftops of the medieval village and, beyond that, the coast toward Mount Etna. In the foreground, there are manicured gardens, unapologetically opulent guest rooms, and a wellness center with a focus on natural, organic products with healing local herbs and neroli oil. The Literary Terrace was frequented by the likes of D.H. Lawrence, Truman Capote, and Tennessee Williams, and inside, the 16-seat Otto Geleng restaurant holds a Michelin star.

Villa dEste

12. Villa d’Este Arrow

Beautiful Lake Como is surrounded by the Alps, and the villas along the shoreline are amazing feats of architecture. You can take a boat trip around the lake to learn about the history of the estates, which belong to the likes of the Heinz family, Versace, and, of course, George and Amal Clooney. If you don’t have your own megamansion, Villa d’Este is the place to stay: It’s a classic hotel with 25 acres of gardens that are absolutely immaculate, and it’s so treasured in Italy that it was declared a World Heritage Site. A favorite feature is the hotel's pool, which sits on a platform in the lake and is a major place for Italians (and Hollywood heavyweights) to see and be seen.

Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria Italy

11. Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria Arrow

Three connected Victorian buildings above the Gulf of Naples, this 1834 family-owned property is lovely to return to after a day of sightseeing—to sit on the clifftop terrace and watch the lights come on over the bay. Rooms are designed in styles ranging from Pompeian to Victorian, with trompe l’oeil walls and parquet floors—not to mention verandas with views of Mount Vesuvius. Terrazza Bosquet serves gourmet dishes using ingredients from the hotel garden, but guests can always sip an elevated cocktail on Bar Vittoria’s terrace, overlooking the water. Or head to the Boutique Spa La Serra for a scrub or signature massage.

10. Il Sereno Arrow

When it launched a few years ago in Torno, Il Sereno, Lago di Como caused a sensation. It was the first hotel in the area of Lake Como to be designed by a world-renowned architect—and Patricia Urquiola, the Spanish starchitect and a longtime resident of Milan, did a fabulous job. The hotel blends into its surroundings thanks to the “light” building, with its many windows awash with sunlight reflected by the lake. The garden, with around 183 varieties of plants, creates a gorgeous floral landscape that syncs up with the environment. Even the Brazilian quartzite heated infinity pool and the ashwood deck become one with the lake in a continuous line: harmony. From inside the hotel you can often glimpse the waters of the Lario, the other name by which Lake Como is known, an iconic part of Italian culture and the backdrop of Alessandro Manzoni’s 19th-century novel The Betrothed , where star-crossed lovers Renzo and Lucia manage to finally reunite and get married. Il Sereno’s lobby is elegant, soft, and welcoming, filled with the best of Italian design—furniture by Cassina, Moroso, B&B Italia—as are the 40 rooms, all with a view, and the exquisite vertical garden by Patrick Blanc. The delicious and simple (albeit Michelin-starred) food is courtesy of Raffaele Lenzi and features local freshwater fish and vegetables, served alongside sensational cocktails (even the alcohol-free ones). As if so much contemporary beauty were not enough, there’s still the wooden motorboat, a beautiful Riva, ready to take you around the lake or to Villa Pliniana, a 16th-century palace with another 17 bedrooms—a perfect setting for listening to the music of the villa’s beautiful grand piano while gazing upon the waters of Lago di Como.  From $815. —Maddalena Fossati

Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni

9. Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni Arrow

The only luxury hotel in the picturesque town of Bellagio, this Neoclassical grande dame combines the graces of a gilded past and the easy warmth of a family-run business—and has welcomed generations of distinguished guests since 1873. Serbelloni ticks all the boxes for what you might expect of a patinated palazzo on Lake Como : grand marble staircases, giant crystal chandeliers, a mix of Louis XVI and Art Nouveau furniture, and ornate frescoed ceilings. And the guests, a broad cross-section of international travelers, soak it in: They linger in front of the fireplace in its opulent grand salon; tread softly through vast, unoccupied rooms filled with period pieces, and tuck themselves into the wooded American Bar for a nightcap or two. For a reprieve from all that antiquity, there's always the palm-fringed lakeside pool and the garden with its subtropical plants and manicured hedges, which offer the perfect counterpoint—and imposing views.

Caesar Augustus

8. Caesar Augustus Arrow

High and mighty, 1,000 feet above the Bay of Naples, a stunning location, this former Russian prince’s mansion has amazing views from anywhere on its well-maintained, and hand-in-hand grounds begging for a romantic stroll. It’s also a five-minute walk from Anacapri’s town center, where shops sell local pottery, made-to-measure sandals, and Capri’s limoncello liqueur, using the island’s lemons. All rooms have down duvets, linen sheets, marble bathrooms with double sinks, and private balconies, but for a sense of grandeur, get one of the five specialty suites—the Caesar has arches, columns, and a bust of Augustus himself. The bi-level infinity pool seems to drop into the sea. What a stunning sight.

7. Il Falconiere Arrow

Originally just a restaurant, this Tuscan property, owned by the same family since 1860, has since expanded to offer guest rooms. Located "just outside Cortona," a town with Etruscan archaeological sites, the property comprises a seventeenth-century villa surrounded by vineyards and converted farmhouses. Rooms overlooking the vineyards and olive groves are individually decorated with antiques and modern and traditional textiles. The "wonderful property" also includes a winery and spa housed within a walled garden—treatments utilize olive oil, grapes, and wine. Enjoy "fine food and service" at the restaurant, which offers Tuscan cuisine and cooking classes.

Park Hyatt Milan Italy

6. Park Hyatt Milan Arrow

Dating to the 1870s, this former bank headquarters is "in a spot that can’t be beat," facing Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II—a location that snags a perfect score. The "ultra comfortable and stylish design" includes a glass cupola lounge with a giant sculpture of Medusa’s head, and rooms in apricot and beige with high ceilings and marble inlay. "The attentive staff are just perfect." Finished in pastel Venetian stucco, the spa has a whirlpool wall made of glass and a 250,000-piece mosaic with gold leaf. Dine on seasonal Italian at the Park Bar. "This is the best Hyatt property I’ve ever stayed at."

Il San Pietro di Positano Italy

5. Il San Pietro di Positano Arrow

A tribute to the vision and folly of its creator, Il San Pietro di Positano burrows into a cliff, with an elevator plunging down to the beach via a shaft hacked out of rock. It’s the ultimate Amalfi Coast cocoon, made all the more attractive by delicious but not overly fancy seasonal food. It’s no mystery why the international glitterati have flocked here since the hotel's opening, in 1970—the village’s steep, narrow stone streets and breathtakingly beautiful blue waters really are the stuff of dreams (ours, anyway). The 56-room property, which sits on a sliver of prime cliff side real estate above the Bay of Positano, is a primitive Eden doused in fragrant flora and citrus trees. Exquisitely tiled rooms with bright linen accents and wide windows have perfect sea views, and quirky features like lamps with fanciful centaur designs and gilded coffee tables add a little bit of luxe. Some even have a private elevator and a Jacuzzi room. Ease into your day with a plate of succulent strawberries and a thimble of espresso, then take an elevator down to a private beach—or enlist a complimentary boat ride around the bay. Dinner at the Michelin-starred Zass is a strawberry crème-colored vision, and twice as delicious—Mediterranean specialties like lobster tagliatelle and truffle sauce-coated sea bass are served on pink tables, on a rock ledge high above the breaking waves. 

Belmond Hotel Caruso

4. Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast Arrow

People talk about old classics, but this one has roots dating back to the 11th century. Shipwrecked en route to Constantinople, a wealthy Italian family built the foundations of the Caruso on a limestone bluff above Ravello, a symbol of their power and good fortune to have escaped unharmed. And here, their high eyrie remained, withstanding the wars of the Middle Ages, neglected, repaired, neglected again, until 1893 when Pantaleone Caruso stepped in and turned it into a hotel. Belmond (then Orient-Express hotels) took over in 2000 and began a serious restoration: art historians were shipped in to unearth the building’s Arcadian frescos, and archaeologists arrived to uncover the original medieval foundations. Today, Old Masters hang in the marble corridors and the 50 bedrooms have been brought up-to-date, but not charm-crushingly modernized. They retain their original vaulted ceilings, stone fireplaces and terra cotta tiles, and have bathrooms stashed with bottles of Penhaligon’s. It has just opened Villa Margherita too, a two-bedroom retreat deep in the heady gardens. Guests feast on lunches of lobster, langoustine, and truffles, or head down to the water to explore the craggy coastline on the hotel’s pretty wooden boat. It’s a place synonymous with seclusion, with its lemon-scented air and hanging gardens spilling down onto the Tyrrhenian Sea, stony nooks, and quiet spots to sit and take in the dizzying views. And romance: it is said to be where Jackie Kennedy and Gianni Agnelli began their affair, where Humphrey Bogart, Greta Garbo, and Virginia Woolf came to hide out. A truly brightening, timeless place.

Hotel Il Pellicano Italy

3. Hotel Il Pellicano Arrow

The story of this legendary escape began in 1965 when a British pilot and his American socialite wife built a large house above the sea near Porto Ercole and opened it up to guests. After it was bought by present owner Roberto Sciò in the 1970s, it became a magnet for international A-listers, and 50-plus years on, Il Pellicano is as alluring as ever. The 50 airy bedrooms, divided between the main villa and six cottages hidden among olives and cypresses, have polished terracotta floors and a color palette reflecting the surrounding land and seascapes. The retro yellow-and-white-striped beach towels are still laid out around the heated saltwater pool and along the famous bathing platform over the sea, but there’s a fresh feel to the place, too, with Fornasetti-inspired wallpaper, jazzy fabrics, a great spa, and a boutique selling super-chic Eres swimwear. Lazy lunches of octopus salad and chilled local Ansonica roll on into pre-dinner Pelican Martinis and suppers of risotto with pears and summer truffles on the candlelit terrace of the Michelin-starred restaurant. This is Tuscany’s most exceptional seaside retreat by miles.

2. Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel Arrow

A stay at this five-star hotel perched on a cliff’s edge on the Amalfi Coast may feel like a religious experience—and with very good reason. The property occupies a monastery with parts that date back to 1212, and it was home to the Capuchin monks from 1583 to 1826, before the complex was converted into a hotel. During those early days, it was a favorite stop for globetrotting travelers on their Grand Tour of Europe, and over the years, it has housed the likes of Victor Hugo, Elizabeth Taylor, and Greta Garbo. Don’t expect monastic simplicity, though guest rooms do intentionally skew toward the comfortable and unfussy, with white linens and terra-cotta tiles. Chef Claudio Lanuto’s Dei Cappuccini Restaurant serves playfully reimagined Mediterranean dishes with equally sumptuous views out over the coastline, while the poolside La Locanda is the place to be for lunch in the sun. For an even more special event, the hotel is still home to a 13th-century cloister and a Catholic consecrated church—the perfect spot for a destination wedding with up to 70 of your closest friends and family members.

1. COMO Castello del Nero Arrow

Not your average Tuscan estate, this 12th-century castle wedged deep into the Chianti countryside 40 minutes south of Florence , is COMO’s first property in mainland Europe. And what a place: What used to be a flouncy Italianate hotel has been transformed into a thoroughly modern, city-sleek pad with brooding gray and putty-colored walls paired with eau-de-nil armchairs and the odd jade patio door. COMO’s highlights are its spas, of course, and this one doesn’t disappoint, with signature COMO Shambhala treatments, Guinot facials, and an outdoor pool in the summer season (when there’s also outdoor yoga, overlooking the rolling hills). At Michelin-starred restaurant La Torre, executive chef Giovanni Luca Di Pirro works his magic on local ingredients; pre-game with an oil or wine tasting in the medieval wine cellars.

1. Le Vieux-Nice, where to stay in Nice for first timers

Le Vieux Nice

Vieux Nice refers to the city’s mesmerizing old town , and is one of the most popular places to stay in Nice. 

With its narrow cobblestone streets, niche fountains, idyllic scenery, and irresistible array of shops of all specialties , Le Vieux-Nice offers a romantic and historically fascinating glimpse into the heart of Nice. 

Located just minutes from the beach and main promenade, here is where you will find the majority of Nice’s hotels, ranging from the budget-friendly to impossibly sumptuous. 

A typical walk through the old town will take you through a series of arched pedestrian passages, charming piazzas, and past such landmarks as the 17th century Cathedral of St. Reparata and marble-lined False Gate.

The lush and secluded Parc de la Colline du Château offers some of the most spectacular views of the Riviera , with plenty of secluded promenades and lookout points for the perfect photo op. 

If you’re prepared to ascend the park’s incline, you’ll find multiple historic spots, rich flora & fauna, and even a man made waterfall.

There are no shortage of restaurants, cafes, bars, and street food vendors in Vieux Nice, where visitors and residents alike can feast on a banquet’s worth of mouthwatering delicacies such as fresh seafood, local cheeses and produce, craft beers and of course, some of the best wine in the world . 

The old town’s daily market , located on Cours Saleya, is the perfect spot to stroll and take in the traditional wares, from hand-milled soaps to the delicious Niçoise chickpea crepe speciality, socca.

2. Le Port, trendy neighborhood with unique shops and eateries

Le Port Nice

The Port of Nice is where the tramline from the airport conveniently ends, and has been one of Nice’s most glamorous districts for well over a century. 

Here multi-million Euro yachts bob in the water alongside traditional fishing boats, with plenty of foot traffic and socializing to appease the bustle-loving guest. 

You won’t find better seafood restaurants than around Le Port, with speciality establishments offering freshly caught fish and all-you-can-eat mussels. 

Those with a passion for Italian food can also find a selection of charming and authentic trattorias featuring some of the best homemade pasta dishes across the border. (Nice is less than 2 hours from Genoa by car.)

Monday is when you will find Le Port’s famous antique market , which stretches along the water and contains all manner of gems spanning multiple centuries and regions. 

Make sure to take a walk along Rue Bonaparte , a former residence of Napoleon and now trendy neighborhood with its own unique shops and eateries.

While Le Port is one of the most recognizable places to stay in Nice, hotel prices can run fairly high due to name recognition and waterfront accessibility. It’s advisable to book well in advance and keep an eye out for special online promotions. 

It’s also worth noting that many of Nice’s available hostels come fully equipped and furnished with all the amenities a traveler could need, with private rooms additionally available upon request.

3. Garibaldi, residential area with easy access to Nice´s main popular attractions 

Where to stay in Nice: Garibaldi

A large square separating the old town from the port, Garibaldi is largely considered a residential area, albeit with easy tram access to many of Nice’s most popular attractions. 

Constructed by the Italians in 1773, Garibaldi is the oldest of Nice’s main piazzas . The photo-worthy fountain designed by Giuseppe Garibaldi marks the ideal meeting spot, with the 18th century Chapelle du Saint-Sépulcre located directly behind it.

Garibaldi is where locals prefer to go for their afternoon pastis or anise-flavoured apéritif , with the nearby Café de Turin serving some of the best seafood (oysters are a star feature) for over 100 years. 

While hotels are scarce in the piazza, there are several Airbnb-type options and privately rented apartments that make for an especially intimate stay in Nice.

4. Jean Médecin (New Town), best place to stay in Nice for shopping

Best places to stay in Nice: Jean Medecin

This massive pedestrian-only avenue, that also gives name to the district, is set in the geographic heart of Nice , and is one of the city’s main transport and shopping hubs . 

The high street of Jean Médecin is one of Nice’s most vibrant shopping hotspots, with boutiques, outlets, and malls catering to every budget and style. 

While this busy square isn’t known so much for its sit-down dining establishments, there are plenty of eateries where you can enjoy casual fare such as Neapolitan style pizza, local snacks, and aperitivo refreshments.

While there are lodging options around Jean Médecin, the area’s commercial crowds and nonstop foot traffic may not pose the most ideal setting for a good night’s rest.

For a more relaxed area just a few minutes’ walk from Jean-Médecin, Musiciens quarter contains a welcoming array of restaurants and shops, as well as some of Nice’s most noteworthy palaces and gardens.

Nice’s Musiciens quarter, while mostly a quiet residential area , has become increasingly popular with visitors in recent years thanks to its low-key, friendly atmosphere and growing number of charming private holiday apartments. 

Hotel prices in Jean Médecin typically run high due to the square’s transportation proximity and overall convenience, although inexpensive hostels are available year-round via special online discount rates.

  • ($$) Hotel 66 Nice

5. Carre d’Or, where to stay in Nice for nightlife

Where to stay in Nice: Carre d´Or

Also located in the New Town area and often referred to as Nice’s “golden square, ” the seafront neighborhood of Carre d’Or is more or less a direct line to many of Nice’s most prominent areas. 

Famed for its Belle Epoque buildings and palaces (one of the latter containing a death mask of Napoleon), high-end hotels and casinos , and postcard panoramas of the Riviera, Carre d’Or is where the grandeur of old Nice meets the new and modish.

If you decide to stay in Nice in Carre d´Or you will close to the main tourist attractions, and you will enjoy a great offer of eateries, shopping and nightlife .

6. Cimiez, where to stay in Nice for families

Best places to stay in Nice: Cimiez

This peaceful, leafy neighborhood is perfect for nature-loving couples and families with young children, thanks to its quiet tree-lined streets, public parks and gardens, and notable historic sites. 

While there are several hotels within close proximity, Cimiez has more of a residential atmosphere, and it’s likely that you’ll find mostly privately rented apartments and villas.

If you are looking to live like a local during your stay in Nice, you won’t find a more authentic, picturesque setting.

Visitors can enjoy a picnic in the Jardin des Arenes, part of which contains a sizable olive grove, followed by a trip to the nearby monastery of Cimiez , which began construction in the early 16th century. 

And if *that* isn’t old enough for history lovers, Cimiez was the former site of an ancient Roman city , whose ruins –including an impressive bath complex–can be viewed today onsite, with additional artifacts on display at the museum. 

Art enthusiasts will no doubt want to visit the Matisse Museum, while those with a keen eye for architecture will appreciate the area’s elegant homes and palatial gardens.

  • ($) Hotel des Dames

7. Libération, central area with Belle Epoque and Art Deco architecture

Best places to stay in Nice

Making up a sizable part of Nice’s central area , the Libération district was formerly known as Saint-Lambert, and was rechristened on August 28, 1944 in honor of fallen resistance fighters. 

This is a popular market spot and gathering point for Niçois inhabitants, thanks to the enormous outdoor market where local farmers, fishers, and artisans display their goods. 

Many locals will attest that the Libération area is one of the best places to pass a morning in Nice, with the fresh air, lively activity , and enticing fare all contributing to the longevity of this special pastime.

The Libération district is widely famed for its Belle Epoque and Art Deco architecture, with many visitors claiming to have felt like they stepped back in time upon entering. 

There are a number of traditional Niçois restaurants to recommend, with additional shops and tranquil parks to satisfy every visitor. 

Libération holds a series of affordable hotels boasting views of the busy square and market, as well as privately-run apartments and Bed & Breakfasts.

8. Promenade des Anglais, our favourite place to stay in Nice

Promenade des Anglais

The ultimate symbol of Nic e and the Riviera at large, the Promenade Des Anglais has been immortalized by writers, painters, photographers, and filmmakers for nearly two centuries. 

Stretching from the airport to the west to the eastern Quai des États-Unis, a distance of roughly 7 kilometers or 4 miles, here is where one can truly experience Nice at its most iconic. 

Guests can promenade along the glittering Côte d’Azur and relive the glamorous holidays of the jet-set elite, who first began flocking to the French Riviera in the second half of the 18th century. 

Today local inhabitants simply refer to the Promenade des Anglais as “La Pom,” and it’s fair to say on any given day you’ll find the promenade packed with walkers, cyclists, skaters, and ambling sweethearts. 

While you won’t find a scarcity of decadent hotels along the Promenade des Anglais, be prepared to pay similarly luxe prices . That said, the hotels lining the promenade contain awe-inspiring historic significance and celebrity lore, with unmatched views of the sea.

If you are willing to keep your eye on off-season rates or are willing to indulge on accommodations, you won’t find a more perfect place to stay in Nice.

9. Gambetta, where to stay in Nice on a budget

Best places to stay in Nice: Gambetta

While mostly a residential area , Gambetta is a 20 minute walk from Nice’s old town, with a newly implemented tram station for added mobility. 

Given the Niçois nod for its private beach hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants , the Gambetta neighborhood contains a multitude of architectural styles ranging from late Victorian to Belle Epoque and Art Deco . 

A typical stroll through the area will take you past the Italian Consulate and across Thiers Avenue where Nice’s central railway station, built in 1865, still stands. 

Along the way there are the lovely gardens of Alsace-Lorraine , first created in 1887, where you won’t find a more charming picnic backdrop.

There are quite a few hotels and several hostels around the Gambetta area, as well as privately-run holiday rentals. If you stay away from the beach area you will get very well priced accommodation.

Mont Boron

Made of brown bread or malted rye flour, it goes down best on a sultry summer day. If you add it to chopped-up meat and vegetables, you get okroshka, an exquisite cold soup.

10. MOSCOW REGION

Sergiev Posad

Sergiev-Posad Museum-Reserve

If Moscow is not enough for you, take a journey (of several hundred km from Moscow) and find yourself travelling through the «Golden Ring» of Russia. The Golden Ring is a name for several towns located around Moscow: Suzdal, Rostov, Vladimir are among them. If you want to know more about Russia, see old architecture, churches made of white stone, hear the bell-ring, see old fortifications, be ready to go out from Moscow. The first town of the Golden Ring, is Vladimir, located 179 kilometers to the east from Moscow with 378 thousand people living there. It is an old Russian town, it used to be the capital of Russia in the 12th century. Suzdal is located nearby. It’s an old town, steeped in medieval history, but with little more than 10,000 residents nowadays. Dating back to 990 AD, Suzdal is one of the oldest towns in Russia and the «jewel» of Russia’s history. Today the town is filled with busy churches and monasteries and its streets are lined by colourful traditional wooden houses. Having survived the blight of Soviet town-planning, Suzdal looks much as it did centuries ago and is one of the most popular tourist sights in Russia. Yaroslavl got its name from Yaroslav Mudry, who founded the town in the beginning of 11th century. Now it is a large industrial city, the biggest along the Golden Ring (630 inhabitants), however it has very interesting history, architecture, and city life. If you are tired of sightseeing and want to have some rest from Moscow busy life, you can take a breath of wonderful Russian nature, not going too far, and visit one of the nature hotels and spa situated near Moscow. Places like «Fox Lodge», «Zavidovo» or «Yahonty» are a good variant for relaxing rest, with marvelous nature around you and interesting entertainments for you not to get bored.

Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club

With balmy temperatures year-round and a thriving Latin cultural scene, visiting Miami Beach almost feels like leaving the U.S. However, no passport is required to experience the city’s dazzling white sand, turquoise-blue waters, and colorful Art Deco architecture.

The seven-mile island along the Atlantic Coast has something for everyone, from the party-until-the-wee-hours-of-the-morning nightlife of South Beach to the more serene and family-oriented North Beach. Then, there’s the Goldilocks compromise of Mid-Beach right in between, with a laidback atmosphere by day and a livelier vibe by night.

With dozens of hotels to choose from — with many as eclectic as the city itself — this guide breaks down some of the best accommodations in Miami Beach. As a hotel aficionado and South Florida frequenter, here are some of my top choices, with help from T ravel + Leisure’s staff editors and readers, as well as top picks from our World's Best Awards winners.

Four Seasons Hotel at the Surf Club

Also available to book at Expedia.com and Hotels.com

Four Seasons at the Surf Club, at the northern end of the island, is a tranquil beachfront oasis in the otherwise busy commotion of Miami Beach.

It's one of the pricier options on our list.

This World’s Best Awards winner for five years running (taking home the number 1 spot in 2023) is among Miami Beach’s most luxurious and secluded properties. The hotel stands out not only for its decorated history among Hollywood’s elite, but also for its transformation into a welcoming destination for families, couples, and full-time residents.

The 77 guest rooms and suites offer floor-to-ceiling views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, or the city alongside the contemporary style (and comfort) of French designer Joseph Dirand. Throughout the hotel's public spaces, from the stunning Champagne Bar to a library's worth of coffee table books, guests are encouraged to relax for a while and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. With “Serenity Lawns” and beachfront gardens perfect for a sunrise stroll, we like how Four Seasons at the Surf Club never feels overcrowded.

The Details:

  • Distance from Airport: 15.6 miles from MIA
  • Pet Policy: Pets allowed, free
  • Parking Fee: $55 valet per night
  • Resort Fee: $49 per night
  • Starting From: $615 per night

Also available to book at Hotels.com and Expedia.com

We’re into The Setai’s minimalist aesthetic, with Asian-style decor and Art Deco accents; it’s an ideal South Beach address for those looking for privacy.

This is the place to stay if you’re seeking deep tranquility with the buzzy vibe of South Beach outside your door; just know that it’ll come with a higher price tag.

As an all-suite enclave with 138 keys across 40 floors, The Setai somehow feels like a true hideaway in one of the busiest parts of Miami Beach. A two-story, zen-inspired lobby welcomes guests into this World’s Best Awards winner, where Beyoncé and Madonna have also happened to vacation. Polished attendants ensure guests have everything they need for a day of relaxation across three pools — one cold, one warm, one hot — and a gorgeous stretch of private beach.

If catching up on sleep is on the agenda in between partying, this is the place to do it. King-size beds are dressed in Frette linens with handmade Swedish Duxiana mattresses. Meanwhile, bathrooms have double vanities, soaking tubs, and rainfall showers, plus bath amenities by Acqua di Parma. And we didn’t even mention the decadent Valmont Spa.

  • Distance from Airport: 11.9 miles from MIA
  • Parking Fee: $49 valet per night
  • Resort Fee: None
  • Starting From: $575 per night

Faena Hotel Miami Beach

Also available to book at Tripadvisor.com and Hotels.com

Whimsical decor and extravagant luxury provide guests with a certain “wow” factor that we think sets Faena apart from other Miami Beach hotels.

Faena is as much a luxury resort as it is a contemporary art exhibit – which is contrary to what you'll get with more traditional hotels.

Faena has that Hollywood movie set magic, and for good reason. "The Great Gatsby" director Baz Luhrmann and his wife, Oscar-winning designer Catherine Martin, helped shape the reimagination of the property several years ago. Yes, that’s a woolly mammoth skeleton decked out in 24-karat gold inside a temperature-controlled glass cage near the beach.

Thankfully, Art Deco style and bold Hollywood glamour coexist with genuinely luxurious digs and white-glove service. From bright turquoise velvet drapes to plush Deco area rugs, the 179 rooms and suites are every bit as opulent as the public spaces. Each floor has its own butler, too.

Our World’s Best Awards winner houses the Tierra Santa Healing House, Faena’s sprawling 22,000-square-foot spa. It features one of the largest hammams on the East Coast (and you can bet you’ll find us there). Indulge in one of the shaman-inspired treatments or body-healing rituals after a nosh at Los Fuegos, Argentine super-star chef Francis Mallmann’s open-fire BBQ restaurant.

  • Distance from Airport: 11.2 miles from MIA
  • Pet Policy: Pets allowed, $250 nonrefundable deposit per stay and $25 per night
  • Parking Fee: $60 valet per night
  • Resort Fee: $45 per night
  • Starting from: $500 per night

The Miami Beach EDITION

A minimalist but chic approach to design is the star of the beachfront Edition — but there are amenities galore here, too.

With an ice skating rink, nightclub, and five F&B establishments, this 322-room property is a self-contained destination in and of itself; smaller boutique lovers take note.

The Ian Schrager-designed hotel toes the line between mid-century decadence and restrained modernity with an expansive, all-white marble lobby and original mosaic columns. It’s all beautifully done in a stylish, minimalist way. Speaking of lobbies, the Edition has one of our favorite scents in any hotel, a Le Labo-customized fragrance that’s a signature offering.

Basement, a subterranean entertainment space, is one of the most talked about amenities, as is the bowling alley and ice skating rink. Of course, this Mid-Beach property is right on the ocean, too. If you never left the hotel, no one would blame you – we wouldn’t want to take off the fluffy hooded robes, either. Even better, this World’s Best- awarded hotel can be booked using Marriott points.

  • Distance from Airport: 11.3 miles from MIA
  • Pet Policy: Pets allowed, $300 fee (including $150 cleaning fee) per stay
  • Parking Fee: $45 valet per night
  • Starting From: $399 per night

1 Hotel South Beach

1 Hotel South Beach is an eco-friendly, luxury utopia with a private beach and a stellar location (and it’s even a solid option for families with a kids’ club).

With over 400 rooms and the amenities of a sprawling resort, 1 Hotel manages to be an effortlessly chic retreat — but there’s no hiding that it’s massive.

A World’s Best Awards winner, 1 Hotel South Beach doesn’t just say it is eco-conscious. This carbon-neutral property has a LEED Silver certification and interior elements made with reclaimed materials. (The house car is also an electric Audi).

Every one of the 425 rooms and suites features driftwood walls, hemp blend-filled mattresses, recycled pine headboards, and clothes hangers created from recycled paper. Say goodbye to expensive bottled water, too, as every faucet in the hotel has Triple Clear Water filters – drink from the tap to your heart’s delight.

The 1 Beach Club deserves a call out for its design, bringing a sense of island paradise to the heart of Miami Beach. It’s a certifiable oasis with palm trees swaying in the breeze and birds chirping amongst the foliage. If that wasn’t enough, we’re very into the pool deck and bar located 18 stories up above the water.

  • Distance from Airport: 11.7 miles from MIA
  • Parking Fee: $58 valet per night
  • Resort Fee: $55 per night
  • Starting From: $449 per night

The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach

We think the recent $90 million renovation breathes new life into the Ritz, cementing its status as a classic oceanfront luxury hotel in the heart of South Beach.

The 376-room property is right on the corner of Lincoln Road and Collins Avenue, so it's embedded in the (sometimes touristy) South Beach scene.

While fully outfitted with modern amenities, The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach embodies mid-century modern glamour as a 1953 original design by Morris Lapidus. Architecture enthusiasts may even notice the nod to an ocean liner, with curved lines and balconies similar to that of a ship’s deck. The expansive pool area, in a unique cross shape, offers plenty of loungers and umbrellas, plus some seating alcoves with chairs. We’re also big fans of the sturdy wood seats with thick padding (any high-end hotel that doesn't have plush cushions on top of its loungers just doesn’t cut it). With a Ritz Kids Club, spacious rooms, and ample facilities, this is also a family-friendly resort.

  • Distance from Airport: 12 miles from MIA
  • Pet Policy: Pets allowed, $150 per stay

Soho Beach House

Soho Beach House Miami

As one of the more boutique-y properties on this list, Soho Beach House has all the exclusive Miami Beach amenities (rooftop pool, library, and spa, just to name a few) one could want, with an intimate footprint of fewer than 50 rooms.

Non-Soho House members must sign up for Soho Friends , a $130 annual membership that gets you into Soho House accommodations around the world, among other perks.

While Soho is known for its whole "private membership" charade, guests at this Mid-Beach property have access to all the amenities — without a full-fledged membership. The Beach House features a 100-foot private pool with loungers (along with a second pool on the roof), and a private beach with beds that come with fully-stocked coolers of Evian, coconut water, and fruit. Even better, we love that it’s all complimentary for guests.

Inside, with a shabby-chic design, expect a refined yet charmingly jumbled aesthetic. There’s a library, screening room, and Soho’s famous Cowshed Spa, with a salon that harkens back to the days of old-school barbershops. The courtyard Italian restaurant Cecconi's serves world-class Venetian cuisine.

  • Distance from Airport: 10.9 miles from MIA
  • Pet Policy: Service animals only
  • Resort Fee: None, but non-Soho House members are charged an additional $130 per stay (Soho Friends membership valid for one year)
  • Starting From: $450 per night

The Betsy Hotel

Also available to book at Hotels.com and Tripadvisor.com

We like the unique architecture and history of this boutique hotel, merging two iconic properties right in the heart of South Beach.

If you want to be within a stone’s throw distance of the bars, restaurants, and shops in the Art Deco District, this is the place to be. That said, Ocean Drive can get particularly touristy.

The Betsy is tailored to a more grown-up crowd even though its Ocean Drive address might say otherwise. There are books everywhere here, from the dedicated hotel library to a personal collection in each room. Jazz evenings and literary events take place throughout the year. There is a lot of history at The Betsy, too, which opened in 2009 after a multimillion-dollar restoration of the property developed by architect L. Murray Dixon. In 2016, the hotel combined with the storied Carlton Hotel to become one larger (but still not too big) property.

Best of all, the hotel is a couple of blocks removed from the raucousness and beating pulse of South Beach, yet offers the same excellent beachfront views and all the interesting people watching you can handle.

  • Distance from Airport: 11.4 miles from MIA
  • Pet Policy: Pets allowed, $150 fee per stay
  • Resort Fee: $40 per night
  • Starting From: $349 per night

The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort

Also available to book at Expedia.com

Far from the action up north in Bal Harbour, The St. Regis is about sophisticated luxury with an air of privacy and exclusivity; a 30-minute drive gets you into the commotion.

It’s a little sleepy this far north in Miami Beach, so just expect that you’ll be trading in late-night outings for Louis Vuitton boutiques.

The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort, near North Beach's dual Bay Harbor Islands, is a peaceful enclave that offers what travelers have come to expect from the brand — an eye toward attentive service (there aren’t many other properties that give you a dedicated butler no matter which room you book).

We like how the 216 rooms and suites evoke a sense of calm with neutral tones and textures. Balconies use glass partitions so as not to obstruct any views, and even base-level rooms are larger here than at some competing luxury hotels; a deluxe room with one king bed is 650 square feet. Guests can relax beside two pools — an adults-only "tranquility" pool, and one for families — as well as on the 1,000-foot white-sand beach.

  • Distance from Airport: 15.7 miles from MIA
  • Pet Policy: Pets allowed, $100 fee per stay and $20 per night
  • Starting From: $589 per night

Carillon Miami Wellness Resort

Carillon Miami Wellness Resort 

With the largest spa in South Florida and fitness classes galore, this all-suite property knows how to do wellness right.

If you’re looking to go off-property, Carillon’s residential location isn’t the most interesting; Uber a few minutes down to the action in South Beach or north to the upscale enclaves of Surfside or Bal Harbour.

Carillon is an all-suite beachside retreat in the northern section of Miami Beach. It’s among the best for all things wellness , with dozens of workout classes, an impressive two-story rock climbing wall, and even a dedicated wellness concierge. We appreciate how the hotel’s wellness program is actually led by a medical doctor, combining Eastern and Western practices for holistic health. Clearly, if you’re looking to detox and truly unwind — and perhaps ignore the rest of the Miami Beach scene — this is the place to do it. Families will also love all the space that the accommodations provide; each one- or two-bedroom suite includes a separate bedroom and living space, including a full kitchen. It feels more like a high-end Miami Beach condo than a Miami Beach hotel.

  • Distance from Airport: 13.4 miles from MIA
  • Pet Policy: Pets allowed, $250 fee per stay
  • Parking Fee: $40 valet per night
  • Starting From: $495 per night

Know Before You Go

No need to rent a car.

If you plan to stay in Miami Beach for the duration of your trip, a car isn’t really necessary. (Also, parking at any of these properties doesn’t come cheap). It’s easy to grab an Uber from Miami International Airport with the ride taking between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on traffic. Ride-hailing is also readily available once you’re on the island. There’s even a free trolley that makes occasional stops along Miami Beach. 

It can get expensive during peak season

Miami Beach is known to get pricey during certain winter weeks, with events such as Art Basel bringing international crowds — causing hotel rates to soar. In addition, it may be wise to avoid peak periods around college spring break in March and April. 

Don't be afraid to explore beyond the touristy sites

Ocean Drive is great for its beaches , sights, and people watching, but it’s probably best to eat and drink elsewhere. The popular strip’s dining establishments (especially in the South Beach area) tend to be high on price and low on quality.

How We Chose These Hotels

These Miami Beach hotels were selected taking into account both reader and editor favorites, Travel + Leisure World’s Best award winners (see the 2023 winners here), as well as writer Chris Dong's personal experience visiting Miami Beach (as a former snowbirding New Yorker) on numerous occasions over the past ten years.

And, as always, the hotels selected for all of our roundups adhere to our core T+L Hotel Values to ensure we are offering readers with the highest-quality recommendations possible.

Lol Irish. 🤣

I would guess to a 13-year-old having a nice pool means fun and water so I wouldn’t fuss too much about the Harrah’s pool. If the price is right, go for it and make the best out of your time.

I doubt MB or MGM pools will be fully operational at that time. Maybe, but probably not. They rely on lifeguards, and most lifeguards are school aged teenagers/early 20's who don't get out of school until May.

nice places to visit hotels

Harrah’s pool will be opening sometime this month.

Paris’ pool is currently open.

(As per the websites of each hotel.)

This always takes me back to a visit in …I don’t know…maybe 2017 or 2018. My room at Ballys overlooked the pool at Paris.

December. It was 48 degrees. There were a dozen or more people splashing around in the pool.
