Thoughtfully-Designed Hotels for a Grounding Experience

Amangiri
Canyon Point, UT

When you think of the Wild West, you likely think of old-timey saloons and wooden shanties, where the nearest thing to luxury is hundreds of miles away. While Amangiri stays true to the spirit of exploration and innovation that characterizes the region, it's certainly nothing like the Old West towns of yore. Here, immaculately designed modern stone buildings take inspiration from the desert that surrounds them, with expansive vistas everywhere you turn. A priority is placed on wellness and inner peace, with a large spa featuring unique grounding treatments and activities like Yoga on the Rocks to showcase the fact that even though the West is wild, it's still a wonderful place for relaxation.

Take Me There

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach
Honolulu, HI

Located steps away from iconic Waikiki Beach, Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach offers spacious and comfortable accommodations, a wide range of familyfriendly activities, and a variety of delicious dining options. There are two restaurants from Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto—a signature Japanese restaurant and a casual ramen spot—as well as a locally owned coffee shop, an Instagrammable pool bar, and one of the best buffets in Waikiki. Take a dip in the stunning infinity pool, explore the island's rich culture and history, gaze in awe at the three-story saltwater Oceanarium home to more than a thousand Hawaiian marine species, or simply unwind and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Take Me There

The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives
Huruvalhi, Maldives

A far-away escape with a near-permanent place on the bucket lists of travelers, there's nowhere like the Maldives. One of the most beloved destinations in the world, this island nation feels like it could be another world. If you're looking for the traditional Maldives resort experience without a ridiculously-high price tag, head to The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives. They have everything you've been dreaming of here—overwater villas, a number of restaurants, and a gorgeous spa—and the crowd tends to skew a bit younger than most resorts in the area, meaning your stay will always be active and full of life.

Take Me There

Marquis Reforma
Mexico City, Mexico

You may have noticed recently that everyone "in the know" seems to be traveling to Mexico City. The destination is having somewhat of a creative renaissance, and travelers are starting to take note. Of course, if you take a look at the building that houses Marquis Reforma, you'll see from its Art Deco facade that the city has always been filled with culture. The inside is universally luxurious, although for a once-in-a-lifetime experience we suggest opting to stay in a Marquis Loft Suite, because ascending a spiral staircase before heading to bed is certain to make you feel like royalty.

Take Me There

The Drake Hotel
Toronto, Canada

Unless you've stayed in one of the more rural properties owned by Drake, we're willing to bet you've never stayed anywhere quite like The Drake Hotel. Located in the oh-so-cosmopolitan city of Toronto, the guest experience here has been comprehensively thought out, from design to culinary offerings to activities. Craving a cocktail after a long day? The mixology program is top-level, with clever menu items showcasing a wide variety of inspirations. The on-site music venue, Drake Underground, might be where you discover your next favorite artist. Plus, the adorable general store carries quirky and exciting items you'll be happy to bring back with you after your stay.
