Big City Hotels for Big Time Fun
The Joseph Nashville, TN
Conveniently nestled in the beating heart of Nashville, The Joseph is a true Southern gem. This award-winning hotel offers an authentic experience deeply rooted in the traditions of Music City, yet elevated by world-class amenities. The elegant lobby, lined in Italian marble, sets the tone for your stay, while the rooftop bar, Denim, offers a sophisticated perch from which to take in the city skyline. At the beloved on-site restaurant Yolan, Michelin-starred chef Tony Mantuano and wine/hospitality expert Cathy Mantuano deliver an Italian fine-dining experience unlike anything else in Nashville. (Opt for the tasting menu with wine pairings for the full experience.) When it's time to finally unwind, Rose, the on-site spa offers a tranquil escape designed to restore your body’s natural rhythms. The rooms themselves are sanctuaries, designed with a serene color palette that reflects the natural beauty of the Tennessee landscape.
With particularly spacious rooms featuring plush mattresses and comfortable working desks, Royalton Park Avenue is a hidden gem of a hotel located in NYC's bustling NoMad district. Offering a boutique experience with top-notch design and plenty of amenities, this hotel makes it just as fun to grab a cocktail at its classic piano bar as it is to take a dip in the indoor/outdoor rooftop pool. The rooftop restaurant & lounge is a particularly fun highlight, offering a solid happy hour alongside traditional lounge offerings like lobster rolls and flatbreads.
A long-standing and incredibly-classic NYC hotel with a striking aesthetic, The Algonquin Hotel has long been a favorite of those in literary circles. From 1919-1929 it played host to the Algonquin Round Table, a group of New York City-based artists and thinkers so famous that John F. Kennedy once said he grew up dreaming of being a member. Although The Round Table no longer meets, their illustrious spirit lives on in the hotel, which now offers a different sort of amenity: a hotel cat, Hamlet, named after former resident John Barrymore's most iconic role.
Located in Chicago's most elite district, this chic hotel offers everything you could possibly want when visiting the Windy City. Each brilliantly-decorated room is outfitted with a writing desk as well as a refreshment center and Nespresso machine, for home-like comforts even when you're nowhere near home. The on-site restaurant, Somerset, was designed with historic American Country Club culture in mind, although the interiors are delightfully modern. Guests will also adore the on-site fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment, as well as the complimentary bicycles for use around town.
A short jaunt from New York City, The Garden City Hotel is a great place to experience luxury when you're on Long Island. Each spacious room is decked out with premium amenities like Keurigs, docking stations for cell phones, and HDTVs that can stream all your favorite shows. Two on-site restaurants by renowned chef and restaurateur, David Burke, offer ample opportunity for delicious drinking and dining, and there are plenty of golf courses around for those who want an excuse to hit the links. UBS Arena, home to the New York Islanders, is also only a short drive away!
