It’s easy to get caught up in your head when planning a trip. We think, in some ways, it’s not a real trip unless we go somewhere far away we’ve never been and stay in a hotel that provides an exotic experience.
Those elements absolutely create wonderful vacations for many travelers, but those criteria do not make any one trip more real than another. In fact, you don’t have to travel far at all or break the bank to plan something amazing.
That’s because, more often than not, you’re seeking a feeling. You want to feel pampered, well-fed, appreciated, unplugged from the daily grind, exclusive, and private.
It’s not so much about finding the perfect destination as it is the hotel that provides whatever feeling you’re chasing. At Luxpitality, helping you discover that perfect boutique hotel is our specialty.
You can find this feeling in the most unexpected places as well. Often, it’s right in your own backyard, or only a quick drive away.
Organically Sourced, Locally Driven
How often have you passed by the intriguing neighborhood hotel that’s been a fixture of the community for over 50 years? What about the small city—that’s only a quick drive away—with its local hotel serving up captivating stories and kickass cuisine?
It can be easy to ignore what’s right in our local community because we’re accustomed to seeing it, or hearing about it, almost every day. What do we miss by not focusing on local and neighborhood travel in our immediate vicinity?
1. ACE Hotel Downtown Los Angeles
Located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, The Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles is the perfect staycation for those looking to get away from the urban sprawl. You can literally rise above the chaos at their rooftop bar overlooking the giant, neon “Jesus Saves” sign. Plus, you can avoid all the crazy traffic heading out of town for the weekend.
2. Noelle Nashville
Noelle was originally built in 1930 and renovated in 2017 with the express purpose to fuse the rich cultural history of the building with modern touches of luxury. This nod to tradition is evident in the lobby, guest rooms, and hotel bar. The modern side of the property shines through, brightly, in the swanky rooftop bar and perhaps one of the single best on-site hotel restaurants we’ve ever seen: Makeready Libations & Liberation (travelers get 15% off their tab).
3. The Guild
For San Diegans, the Gaslamp Quarter is synonymous with tourists, Comic Con, and overpriced nightclubs. The Guild is redefining all of that with it’s Mediterranean restaurant Luca, sexy hotel bar, and lavish rooms overlooking the action. It’s a must-stay for anyone coming to town.
4. 1 Hotel South Beach
South Beach has a reputation that travels far and wide that attracts visitors from all over the world. Locals, you have no need to fear overcrowded beaches again because 1 Hotel South Beach sits directly on 600 feet of exclusive, white sand. The roof’s pool and sundeck are also great options if you just want to take a deep breath from the crowds.
5. The Resort at Pedregal
The pictures speak volumes about one of the most luxurious hotels in Cabo San Lucas. The Resort at Pedregal is literally carved into the side of a cliff and has private beach access you’ll be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. And don’t forget about the infinity pools that seamlessly blend with the grandeur of the Pacific Ocean.
6. The Adolphus
Dallas is packed with a high concentration of Fortune 500 companies. The Adolphus is packed with a high concentration of style and character from the striking hotel lobby and bar to the in-house barber shop. Don’t forget to hit up the restaurants for some high-end European-inspired food.
7. PUBLIC Hotel New York
There are many words to define PUBLIC Hotel New York: refined, flamboyant, sophisticated, provocative, simple, and smart. From the insanely creative hotel lobby (how many escalators do you see?) to Public Kitchen, you’ll see the playfully strong aesthetic woven into everything the hotel has to offer. Take a vacation from one of the world’s most popular vacation destinations, and do it from within the city.
