We’re lucky to live in Chicago with so many luxe hotels in the city. Each has their own high-end spa set-up and I’ve been slowly checking them all out over the years. One of these days I’ll put together a list of my most recommended spas and the plusses and minuses for each one, but for now, this article is going to tell you everything you want to know about the St. Regis Spa in Chicago! I booked a massage…
We stayed at the Bryant Park Hotel in Midtown, New York City, for a lovely four nights in October of 2025. When I was booking this trip, location was my highest priority, but I also wanted something unique and interesting, and boutique if possible, and not at a stupidly high price point, which is not an easy ask in Midtown Manhattan. I stumbled across this hotel which is located right behind the New York Public Library, and is adjacent to…
Historically, the Park MGM has been my go-to resort in Las Vegas. There are tons of reasons for this, not the least of which is that it’s probably the best bang for your buck on The Strip. As someone who spends as little time as possible in their room while visiting Las Vegas, the most important things to me are resort amenities, restaurants, and location. The Park MGM checks all the boxes, and while it’s not the most luxe hotel…
We stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel in Mexico City for a four-night, long weekend getaway for my birthday this past August. This hotel is nothing short of spectacular, although I feel as though we are always landing a stay at a place that is either undergoing renovations or about to. As such, the photos of the room may not reflect what it looks like now, or a few months from now, as the rooms were undergoing major renovations while…
People don’t typically think of rust-belt cities as travel destinations, but Cleveland shouldn’t be overlooked. It’s got a world class art museum (that’s free!), a huge zoo, and the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame to name just a handful of attractions that make it a city worth visiting. That doesn’t even cover the start of it – to make it a truly unique and exciting destination, you can check out the foodie mecca of West Side Market, and the…
Staying at my first Rosewood group resort was a bucket list trip for sure. They are very expensive, and ultra high-end, but when their Black Friday deals came around in 2024, I jumped on the opportunity to get 30% off our entire stay, plus $100 resort credit and free breakfast every day. I honestly never thought I’d be able to afford a trip here even for just a couples getaway, but this deal allowed me to bring the teens as…
As a busy professional with a family, relaxing on vacation is absolutely paramount, and a really high-end spa is an absolute requirement for me when I’m going to a resort for some rejuvenation. The Sense Spa at Rosewood Little Dix Bay is one of the best reasons you should book your vacation at this resort, and no exception to the rule. Located higher up on the hill than most of the rest of the resort, the spa offers unparalleled views…
Rosewood Little Dix Bay is an ultra-luxurious property on Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. One of the best things about this resort is the wide range of food options available, as well as different themed dinner evenings taking place throughout the week. They even offer daily complimentary ice cream on the beach, and afternoon tea in the Pavilion. We had the opportunity to check out all three primary dining spots, as well as The Rum Room when we…
One of the most amazing perks that you get while staying at Rosewood Little Dix Bay in Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands, are complimentary beach drops around the island. This is a great (and free!) way to explore Virgin Gorda, and it’s definitely worth checking out. They also offer complimentary daily snorkeling trips around the island, which is another great way to see other parts of the island, including The Baths! The resort is quite flexible when it comes to…
We dined at Luna Muna at the Ibagari Boutique Hotel in Roatan daily while staying there for seven days in early February 2025. Check our my article about the resort here! This restaurant is consistently hailed as one of the best on the island, and I can honestly say that eating here not only was one of the reasons I chose this hotel for our vacation, but it was also some of the best eating we’ve done in Central America…
