Sure, it’s a cliché, but for good reason: The Ritz has been synonymous with effortless Parisian glamour for decades, an insouciant ultra-luxe spot for the world’s most luxurious travelers since Cesar Ritz and chef Auguste Escoffier opened it in 1898.
A full renovation a few years ago brought back a lot of the burnish that the years had faded; its public spaces - among them the Bar Vendome and the storied Bar Hemingway - have been rebooted without losing any of their fin-de-siecle grandeaur, and are as much a lucus of Paris social life as ever.
It was all worth the wait. Four years after closing its doors for renovation, the new-and-improved Ritz has kept the Belle Époque glamour but added some modern necessities: speedy Wi-Fi, new plumbing, and a one-of-a-kind Chanel spa.

Built by a member of the Vanderbilt family, this meticulous resort recalls a time when Newport was the essential summer destination to see and be seen.
Often historic hotels suffer from smallish rooms, but this is a problem the Vanderbilt does not have. They start out big and only get bigger; some suites come with kitchens, others span two floors.
A Historic Mansion Reimagined Once the downtown Newport residence of businessman and scion Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, this storied mansion has been transformed into a vibrant social destination. Inspired by Vanderbilt’s insatiable wanderlust and rebellious spirit, The Vanderbilt blends historic grandeur with a modern, playful edge.

Handcrafted architectural details, unique furnishings, and whimsical touches create a one-of-a-kind East Coast escape.

At every turn, the dining scene is alive with intrigue and charm.
The Spa at The Vanderbilt An urban sanctuary within the mansion, the spa offers tailored treatments designed to relax and restore. Signature experiences include hot stone massages with stones smoothed by the Atlantic waves and body rituals infused with natural botanicals. Guests can extend their wellness journey in the sauna, steam showers, or the cozy Tranquility Room, complete with a fireplace—perfect for couples, friends, or mother-daughter retreats.
Mandarin Oriental is both an excellent special-occasion staycation for New Yorkers and a prime landing spot for out-of-towners seeking easy access to Broadway, Central and Bryant Parks, and Fifth Avenue.
The most remarkable design choice is the inclusion of floor-to-ceiling windows — corner rooms, especially, seem suspended in air high above midtown Manhattan, offering a view that’s hard to match in New York’s more traditional luxury hotels.
Secrecy is key for Suite 5000 - it's not listed on the hotel's website and is the suite of choice for those in the know. Perfectly capturing the vibrant spirit of New York, the suite is located on the hotel's 50th floor and the floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the Manhattan skyline, Central Park and the Hudson River.

There are bolder and brasher hotels in the Dublin city center, but guests who prefer a bit of classicism with their contemporary design find plenty to love about the Westbury, just off Grafton Street in what’s got to be one of the most desirable locations in town: not only is it yards from the city’s best shopping, but it’s sandwiched between Trinity College and St. Stephen’s Green on the one side and the notorious nightlife of Temple Bar on the other.
The rooms are fabulously comfortable, with silk curtains, and beds decked in crisp Irish linens. Don't miss the generous full Irish breakfasts or the lavish afternoon teas - an Irish institution.
But the food is the real showstopper - think Carlingford oysters, delicate crab tempura and steaks as soft as butter. Upstairs, the revamped rooms and suites cut an elegant figure with their kitten-soft linen and period flourishes.
