The Best Luxury Hotels for a Stress-Free Getaway
The Omni Homestead Resort Hotsprings, VA
Tucked into the foothills of Virginia's Allegheny Mountains, this historic resort has been a pillar of hospitality for more than 250 years. While the property may proudly hold the title of America's first resort, the recent $150 million renovations have updated the 483-room hotel and its amenities to provide guests elegant, contemporary comforts while maintaining the resort's historic charm. Accommodations here are refined, with down pillows, feather beds, and little touches of modern luxury like Keurig® coffee makers and Nest® bath products. World-class amenities give guests near-endless ways to fill their days, from relaxing with decadent treatments at the state-of-the-art spa to teeing off at the two championship golf courses. For some family fun, swap your driver for a putter at the 18-hole miniature golf course and make a splash at Allegheny Springs, the onsite water park featuring a lazy river, two slides, a water play zone for kids, and a large family pool area. Take a dip in the historic Warm Springs Pools, an extraordinary natural phenomenon that has attracted visitors to soak in this spot for hundreds of years. End your day with a meal at one of the onsite restaurants, from fine dining at American Audubon Dining Room to casual pub-style favorites at Jefferson's Taproom. Toast to the good times with top-shelf selections at the Presidential Lounge, named for the 24 American presidents who have stayed at the resort over the years, and know that a stay here is a slice of history. If you visit over Memorial Day Weekend, you'll enjoy porch happy hour and a range of activities including cookie decorating, children's crafts, and sip and paint classes, as well as a red, white, and blue fun run, a golf clinic, and plenty of outdoor adventures.
Located on a coveted corner overlooking Central Park in the Upper East Side, The Pierre offers a truly standout New York City experience. The hotel's Neoclassical architecture is a testament to its rich history, and the lavish interiors feature exquisite details such as checkerboard marble floors, gilded accents, and lush floral arrangements. Guest rooms are elegance embodied, with high ceilings, large openable windows, tufted headboards, and Turkish marble bathrooms. Step into the lavish lifestyle of the Upper East Side at Two E, the hotel's lounge, recently reimagined by Champalimaud Design, with an Art Deco-style copper bar anchoring the lounge in history as the lively local scene brings modern buzz to this neighborhood staple. The hotel's pièce de résistance is undoubtedly The Rotunda, a breathtaking oval event space adorned with hand-painted trompe l'oeil paintings of Italian landscapes and Baroque fountains that curve along its walls. Nestled between Museum Mile and Fifth Avenue's shopping, The Pierre is practically a work of art you can stay at in NYC.
This tranquil tropical getaway is an oasis of relaxation, with expansive suites and a palatial 70,000-square-foot spa perched right on the white sands of Miami Beach. You won't go hungry between treatments either, with top-tier dining right on-site. The Michelin-starred restaurant Tambourine Room, helmed by Tristan Brandt offers fine-dining tasting menus with fresh takes on traditional French cuisine using farm-fresh South Florida ingredients. Another upscale dining offering, The Strand, offers a similar spotlight on Florida's organic farm community with a Mediterranean-inspired menu and indoor or outdoor seating. Determined never to leave the pool deck during your stay? The poolside Seaglass Café serves everything from Andalusian Watermelon Salad to Blackened Mahi Tacos so you can stay in the sun all day.
Centrally located among Cape Cod's 15 towns, Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club is more than your standard beachfront resort. Whether you choose to stay in The Mansion, a turn-of-the-century historic home right by the water, or The Villages, a collection of multi-bedroom, family-friendly villas in the heart of Brewster, there's no shortage of things to see and do. Take the kids swimming at the beach or outdoor and indoor pools, get active at the tennis and pickleball courts, or rent a bike and ride through the surrounding trails. Need some "me time" to unwind? Visit the full-service spa for a restorative massage or spend an afternoon at Cape Cod's only Nicklaus Design golf course. There are several culinary experiences on-site, including exquisite seafood at Ocean Terrace, casual fare overlooking Cape Cod Bay at the Beach Bar, and patio seating with live music at Linx Tavern.
