Dolly Parton Songteller Hotel
Songteller Hotel is a Dolly Parton fan’s dream made real. Pink interiors, bars, and entertainment spaces named after some of her most-loved songs, it fully commits to the Backwood Barbie bit without having to travel to Little Pigeon River.
Seminole Hard Rock
The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino brings stage-worthy vibes to South Florida, with its soaring electric guitar facade and weekly live concerts inside its 7,700-capacity Hard Rock Live venue. Music motifs abound, like working record players, curated vinyl record collections, and even playable guitars in the room. But the property’s most impressive draw is its huge collection of rock, pop, and hip-hop memorabilia on display, from Lenny Kravitz’s Gibson “Flying V” to Madonna’s leather jacket from her “Erotica” music video. This is like a rock & roll museum inside a hotel.
Hard Day’s Night Hotel
Hard Days Night Hotel in Liverpool doesn’t exactly take a subtle approach to its theme — Beatles artwork, Fab Four-themed suites, and immersive packages with museum tickets and private taxi tours are all part of it. If that sounds like too much, just “Let it Be.” If it sounds like exactly the right amount, you’re going to love it.
Dogfish Inn
From the hopheads behind Dogfish Beer, Dogfish Inn is a 16-room spot along the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal that gets it right without trying too hard. With bike trails, fire pits, waterfront views, and cold beer nearby, it’s the kind of place where the hardest decision is whether to crack another IPA — or just watch the sunset a little longer.
Edition Hotels
Every Edition Hotel — from Miami to the newly-opened Lake Como location — operates on the same quiet promise: you will feel like royalty. The rooms are impeccably appointed and effortlessly chic. The food and bar scene holds its own against the country’s top dining and nightlife destinations. And the service, from the front desk to the concierge, is simply the best in class. The Edition didn’t just build a luxury hotel concept – they cracked the code on what guests actually want.
Condado Vanderbilt Hotel, PR
Puerto Rico is a premier travel destination for the beaches, the culture, and the music (if you caught Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, you already know). And for a bachelorette trip that ditches the stereotypes entirely? The Condado Vanderbilt in San Juan is your answer, thanks to sweeping ocean views, exceptional dining, and a prime location near spots like La Factoria — one of the best nightlife locations in Old San Juan. This is a girls’ trip for women who want more out of their pre-wedding weekend.
Circa Resort & Casino
Las Vegas bachelor parties can sound cliché, but Circa Resort & Casino is a reminder of why the city earned its reputation as one of the best (and most debaucherous) destinations. With a massive multi-story sportsbook, solid restaurants, rooftop pools, and a casino floor that runs around the clock, it’s almost too much to fit into one weekend. Almost.
Pikes Ibiza
Tucked in the hills away from Ibiza’s buzzy tourist towns is the island’s most storied hotel: Pike’s Ibiza. The 15th-century stone mansion was a secret haven for lavish star-studded parties (most notably Freddie Mercury’s 41st birthday) in the 1980s, and was resurrected in 2011. The 26-room hotel now hosts a vibrant selection of music acts across two stages, retaining its rock & roll feel and a small, seductive measure of its hedonistic history.
Fontainebleau Las Vegas
Located at the north end of the Strip, the ritzy Fontainebleau Las Vegas offers quiet elegance and elevated entertainment that set it apart from the frat-fueled properties just a few blocks away. Inspired by the original Fontainebleau in Miami Beach — the stomping grounds of Rat Pack legends like Frank Sinatra – the vibe here is decidedly distinguished, though fun still comes in all forms (and formalities), whether you’re dancing to world-renowned DJs at LIV Nightclub or clinking glasses under crystal chandeliers at Bleau Bar, the classiest place to people-watch in town.
Turtle Island
We’ve never encountered a resort experience more welcoming and social than the one at Turtle Island, a couples-only honeymoon resort in Fiji. It has stunning beaches (including private ones for couples), luxurious beachfront villas, delicious food, fun activities, and everything else you’d expect from a luxury resort. But the amenities are not why most of its customers return: it’s the staff. They exude a friendliness that inspires guests to mingle and make friends between days of romantic beach adventures with partners. It’s a romantic getaway and a luxurious adult summer camp rolled into one.
Royal Lahaina Resort
Royal Lahaina Resort has two claims to fame: one of the oldest luau experiences on Maui, and a genuine commitment to bringing live music back to the island. Every evening, local artists perform for free while food trucks line up outside, because good music deserves good food. Add a top-tier magic show, easy beach access, and bookable excursions all in one place, and Royal Lahaina becomes the rare hotel that doesn’t just sit near the magic of Maui — it is the magic.
Hilton Botanika Osa Peninsula
The Hilton Osa Peninsula offers a rare opportunity to be immersed in Costa Rica’s lush natural landscape. The ocean is outside the front door, the world’s most biodiverse rainforest is out the back, and Hilton’s famous service and amenities are there to help you enjoy it all. Add extensive programming outside the hotel grounds, and you have a true choose-your-own-adventure experience: Do yoga and lie around the pool one day, and then go hiking and explore the colorful nearby town of Puerto Jiménez the next day.
Oil Nut Bay
They call the British Virgin Islands the Billionaires’ Playground, but you don’t need the bank account to match. Oil Nut Bay, a private island resort tucked right in the middle of the BVI, delivers a one-percent experience at a price that will genuinely surprise you. Think private villas with infinity pools overlooking the Atlantic; your own golf cart for the duration of your stay; optional add-ons like a personal butler or in-house dining experience; and a mosquito-free location (really). It’s vacation at its most elevated — and shockingly accessible too.
Gurney’s Montauk
Most beachfront resorts share the coastline with scores of other hotels, but not Gurney’s Montauk. The lauded Hamptons property is the only beachfront resort in the area, situated on 2,000 feet of some of the world’s most desirable sand. And the exclusivity goes beyond the beach. Inside the property, you’ll find 158 tastefully decorated rooms, suites, and water-facing cottages, as well as the only ocean-fed saltwater pool in North America. Unlike most East Coast escapes, Gurney’s Montauk is also open year-round.
Rock Creek Ranch
Situated across 6,000 acres of Montana wilderness, Rock Creek Ranch is the ultimate adventure spot in America, with personalized itineraries that set you on the slopes for skiing, drop you in the water for fly fishing, or take you through the property on a horseback hike. At once rugged and romantic, the ranch offers classic log cabin stays merged with Michelin-worthy dining and European-style service, but the true luxury is getting to experience the great outdoors with private guides trained in everything from archery to ammunition. The property’s Silver Dollar Saloon keeps the party going into the night, with a bowling alley, karaoke room, and a bar you can literally saddle up to.
andBeyond Phinda, South Africa
It turns out the coolest part of going on a safari isn’t the wildlife you see but how you’re seeing them. The andBeyond Phinda camps merge traditional culture and contemporary comforts, with accommodations and itineraries that honor the region and all its inhabitants. But what you’ll really like are the Swarovski Optix AX Visio binoculars guests receive for game drives, which use AI image recognition to tell you exactly what you’re looking at — right in your lenses themselves. The binos double as digital cameras, with super-powerful zoom that puts you next to the action, whether you’re capturing birds or the Big Five.
The Campground at Bethel Woods
When it comes to unforgettable camping experiences, few can rival sleeping on the very grounds where the legendary 1969 Woodstock Music Festival took place. The Camp at Bethel Woods is a historic site that offers a range of accommodations, from traditional tent and RV sites to premium glamping huts. It’s a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in one of the most iconic moments in music history, without sacrificing the comforts of modern travel.
AutoCamp
AutoCamp’s nine locations are designed to make nature more accessible. The properties include luxuriously decked-out Airstream trailers, cabins, and tents that offer the feel and privacy of a campsite without having to pitch a tent or rent an RV. All locations also have central “Clubhouses” with yoga and other activities, creating the fun of a hotel lobby at a campsite.
Lodge at Blue Sky
For a curated escape that’s equal parts ultra-luxurious and unpretentious, The Lodge at Blue Sky checks every box. And when you’re not horseback riding, hiking, or reconnecting with nature, you’ll be residing in some of the most strikingly beautiful — and private — rooms we’ve ever seen at a hotel, almost like your own mini house. The property’s farm-fresh dining and inventive seasonal cocktails are the cherry on top.
Four Seasons Vail
As one of the most iconic ski locations in the U.S., the Four Seasons Vail is the ideal destination for adventurers looking to hit the slopes. But there are plenty of warm-weather adventures, too, from ziplining to rafting, and the hotel also has a pool and hot tubs that are heated year-round. The Four Seasons makes the ideal case that Vail isn’t just a winter destination, though if you are looking to ski, the resort, adjacent to the gondolas and lifts, is the prettiest and most picturesque place to stay.
L’Auberge de Sedona
Nestled amongst Sedona’s celebrated Red Rock Country (and its famously charged vortex) lies an exclusive wellness resort where the line between luxury escape and spiritual reset blurs. L’Auberge de Sedona spans 20 acres of awe-inspiring views and out-of-the-ordinary treatments that set this hotel apart from typical spas and smoothies — think guided forest bathing, craniosacral therapy, or a chakra-balancing massage rooted in elemental healing experiences inspired by earth, air, fire, and water. L’Auberge is the anti-woo woo when it comes to wellness retreats: cool without trying, a little otherworldly, and deeply restorative.
Ibiza Gran Hotel
Ibiza Gran Hotel is already one of the island’s fancier stays, but the spa is the real reason to book it. After a night that ended at sunrise (or close to it), the rituals and wellness treatments feel less like a bonus and more like a necessity. Serious recovery for serious fun.
Hridaya Yoga
Hridaya Yoga runs retreats in Mexico and France for people who want more than a weekend workshop. Classes like “Flowering of Love” and “From Pain to Peace” are taught by professionals who actually know what they’re talking about. The programs are deep, and the scheduling reflects it. There’s also a solid online offering if traveling for yoga isn’t in the cards right now.
San Ysidro Ranch
If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a Hollywood A-lister for a weekend, San Ysidro Ranch is where you go. This legendary hideaway, which hosted JFK and Jackie O. for their honeymoon, offers private, fairytale cottages, complimentary meals, and curated experiences such as intimate wine tastings with an on-staff sommelier and evenings at a piano speakeasy. It’s romantic, secluded, and exactly the kind of reset you deserve.
Wequassett Resort & Golf Club
The Hamptons get crowded in summer, but Wequassett Resort and Golf Club on Cape Cod offers a calmer version of the same luxurious coastal getaway with ocean views, exceptional food, and a relaxed atmosphere, all without the chaos. And at less than five hours from Manhattan, it’s an easy road trip to have the time of your life (or your long weekend).
Brazilian Court Hotel, Palm Beach
One of Palm Beach’s most storied addresses, the Brazilian Court Hotel celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2026 as a crown jewel of the tony waterfront community. The property merges the laidback opulence of Palm Beach with stately European vibes, with rooms and suites set behind a discreet entrance that opens up to reveal a lush courtyard sanctuary. The Spanish-Mediterranean landmark has welcomed guests from Marlon Brando to Meryl Streep throughout its century-long history, though anyone can feel a celebrity there, especially with BC One, the hotel’s private yacht that guests can book free of charge for an afternoon on the water.
Norwegian Luna
The Norwegian Luna doesn’t just sail the ocean; it performs on it. With an Elton John show, an Eagles tribute, and a fully immersive theatrical experience that puts you inside the action, this ship is less a floating resort and more a floating festival. Add world-class dining, spacious staterooms, and a beautiful spa, and you’ll understand why the Luna isn’t just the newest ship in Norwegian’s fleet — it’s the one everyone’s talking about.
Virgin Voyages
Any music fan is bound to have an exceptional time aboard Virgin Voyages, a cruise ship with music deeply embedded into its DNA. Your voyage includes plenty of live performances and a stacked entertainment lineup that’s sure to inspire sailing sing-alongs throughout the entire journey. The cruise line’s new show “Red Hot” showcases the 50-year legacy of Virgin Records, and there are stations dedicated to karaoke, and even on-board vinyl offerings that you can purchase to commemorate your holiday. Virgin Voyages is not just a trip, it’s an immersive experience that will keep you humming long after you’ve returned to shore.
Seabourn
Seabourn is for people who want to see Antarctica and the Northwest Passage but aren’t willing to give up a good cocktail or a real bed to do it. The adventure line runs expedition itineraries to some of the most isolated places on earth, then sends someone to turn down your sheets at night. Penguins in the morning, spa in the afternoon… it has it all.
