Tucked away on the pristine shores of Xpu Ha, one of the few undeveloped beaches on the Riviera Maya, Hotel Esencia is a luxurious hidden gem that exemplifies Mexico's vibrant culture. Once the private home of an Italian duchess, the super-cool boutique hotel retains much of its original charm with 42 suites and villas sprinkled with art and antiques, exuding a sophisticated, organic aesthetic. With two gourmet restaurants offering organic farm-to-table cuisine, a Mayan-inspired spa overlooking the estate's cenote, and amenities like private balconies, hammocks, and lushly bordered pools, Hotel Esencia provides an elegant sanctuary that's worth every penny.
Tucked between bustling SoHo and the scenic Hudson River in the emerging Hudson Square neighborhood, Hotel Hugo is as cool as the area code it inhabits. The mix of modern luxuries and pared-down industrial influences brings a uniquely New York feel to the hotel. Get focused with the meeting room and the fitness center or let loose at the rooftop watering hole, Bar Hugo. With one of the best views in the city thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, you can wave at Lady Liberty as you sip on a handcrafted cocktail at the twentieth-story bar. Felix Roasting Company on-site is the perfect place to grab a coffee or enjoy a weekend brunch before venturing out to explore the city.
Dive into the City of Soul, otherwise known as Jackson, Mississippi, and explore its dynamic history, culture, and music scene from The Westin Jackson. Located in the heart of true Southern hospitality, this Mississippi hotel offers easy access to must-sees like the Mississippi Museum of Art, Jackson's historic music and arts theater, the Planetarium, and Thalia Mara Hall. Plus, if you’re here on business, the hotel is only a block from the expansive Jackson Convention Complex. Follow the Roman tradition and stroll to the Coliseum; Mississippi’s very own is perched 2,900 feet above the extinct Jackson Volcano. With seats for basketball games and room to expand for concerts and shows, it's the perfect venue for a good time. The Westin Jackson is the ideal base for city exploration but has plenty to offer onsite as well with stylish rooms and top-notch amenities like a modern fitness center and an indoor heated saltwater pool. Unwind at Soul Spa, a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle. Fuel up and savor Southern cuisine at Estelle Southern Table, a contemporary spot celebrating bold flavors and traditions.
