Montage Los Cabos (Cabo San Lucas, Mexico)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
This seaside resort is the sole hotel on Santa Maria Beach, which is one of the only swimmable beaches in Los Cabos and, as a result, is among the top snorkeling locations in the area. Guests can also look forward to a 40,000-square-foot spa (the largest in the region) and an exclusive golf club, plus activities like hiking, fishing charters and on-site scuba diving certification. Of course, Montage Los Cabos is also a great place to find a lounge chair, relax by the pool (there are three of them on the property) and do absolutely nothing.
Grace Bay Club (Providenciales, Turks and Caicos)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
There are plenty of all-suite resorts in Turks and Caicos, but Grace Bay Club was the first. In addition to spacious rooms with kitchenettes and terraces, guests enjoy 11 acres of white-sand beaches, three pools and the impressive, 90-foot Infiniti Bar—the longest in the Caribbean and the first infinity-edge bar in the world. Best of all, the resort is located on Providenciales, just a quick flight from the U.S. mainland, so you can go from terminal to toes in the sand in record time.
One&Only Cape Town (Cape Town, South Africa)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
The best of the Mother City is just outside your door at this One&Only outpost, set steps from the V&A Waterfront and the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art. When you’re not taking in the views, which span all the way from Table Mountain to Table Bay, have the concierge team arrange for experiences like shark cage diving and paddle boarding. Back at the hotel, indulge in the impressive drinking and dining offerings: the only Nobu restaurant in Africa, plus the Wine Loft, which features over 5,000 bottles (including fine and rare vintages from South African producers).
Hotel Café Royal (London, UK)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
There’s no shortage of historic hotels in London, but this grande dame on Piccadilly Circus is one of the most iconic. For over a century, its rooms and event spaces have hosted the likes of Oscar Wilde, Andy Warhol and the Beatles. The Green Bar, which has a perpetually flowing absinthe fountain, is not to be missed. And, while the hotel’s exterior is classically Georgian, the interiors have been thoroughly updated with details like Carrara marble bathrooms, rainfall showers and deep soaking tubs.
La Réserve Paris Hôtel and Spa (Paris, France)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
La Réserve Paris is the epitome of understated elegance. Here, discretion and ease are the true luxuries—and they begin at arrival, when a staff member greets you in the lobby and immediately escorts you to your room, the check-in process having been handled online before arrival. Each guest is then assigned a dedicated butler, who can handle everything from unpacking and drawing baths to procuring tickets to a sold-out show. With Parisian-chic rooms, two renowned restaurants and a heavenly spa by Swiss beauty brand Nescens also at your disposal, all you have to worry about here is enjoying your time in Paris.
Hotel de la Ville (Rome, Italy)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
Location, location, location. Hotel de la Ville enjoys an enviable one, in a 17th-century palazzo atop Rome’s famed Spanish Steps. As such, the rooftop bar, Cielo, is one of the best places in town for a sunset drink. Jewel-toned rooms, outfitted in handmade wallpaper and luxurious fabrics, are another plus—not that you’ll spend much time in them, considering you’re just a short walk to top attractions like the Trevi Fountain and famous shopping street Via dei Condotti. Just be sure to save time for the Irene Forte Spa, where treatments incorporate ingredients sourced from Sicily.
Jumeirah Burj Al Arab (Dubai, UAE)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
Burj Al Arab’s striking, sail-shaped exterior may make it one of the most instantly recognizable hotels in the world, but it’s the extraordinary service that makes it really stand out. Each floor has its own check-in desk, private butlers are available 24 hours per day and the house Rolls-Royce is on hand for chauffeured transfers around town. The gilded rooms are sure to have you feeling like royalty, and the saltwater infinity pool with 32 private cabanas is one of Dubai’s best places to unwind in style.
Banyan Tree Samui (Koh Samui, Thailand)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
Koh Samui has long been a Southeast Asian hideaway for Bangkok’s elite and international jetsetters, but this stunning Banyan Tree outpost takes the destination to new heights in a jaw-dropping location overlooking Lamai Bay. Each of the 88 spacious villas has walk-in closets, indoor and outdoor showers and deep soaking tubs. The hotel also offers a popular “floating breakfast” service, which involves a meal delivered to your room and served in the comfort of your private plunge pool.
The Upper House (Hong Kong, China)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
Occupying the top floors of Pacific Place in the heart of Hong Kong’s Admiralty neighborhood, The Upper House is a welcoming oasis above the bright city lights. Rooms are serene and stylish, with contemporary furnishings, spa-like bathrooms and minibars stocked with complimentary drinks and snacks. (Starting at 730 square feet, they’re also some of the largest entry-level guestrooms in the city.) Complimentary group yoga classes, a 24/7 fitness center and in-room spa treatments help guests maintain their wellness routines, while three dining outlets—a Mediterranean restaurant, a European-inspired cafe and a garden bar—mean you don’t even have to leave the property for a fun night out.
