Forget Your Cozy Socks and Head to These Warm-Weather Hotels
Acqualina Resort & Residences Miami Beach, FL
Acqualina Resort & Residences is all about ultra-luxe living, where Mediterranean grandeur meets modern refinement. The lobby is a vision in white, accented by marble floors, grand columns, and sumptuous furniture from Fendi Casa. The pool area is a sanctuary, offering guests the choice between crimson-red loveseats and private cabanas. The Forbes Five Star spa is particularly notable as well, with state-of-the-art treatment rooms, relaxation lounges, a private Royal Spa Suite for special occasions, and an outdoor terrace. When it comes to dining, the resort doesn't disappoint: Costa Grill offers ocean views right on the beach, while Il Mulino New York, Avra, and Ke-uH serve up refined Italian, Greek, and Japanese Fusion food, respectively. The rooms, starting at a spacious 750 square feet, are adorned with Italian marble floors and Vena Oro marble vanities, all while offering ocean views that make the Atlantic seem like your own private sea.
Some vacations are more about the locale than the place you stay—typically, the island of Maui is like this, as many of the best things to do and see on the island aren't associated with any one hotel. That is, unless you're heading to The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua, where unique offerings are abundant and the experience is truly once-in-a-lifetime. Each lanai-equipped room or suite is decked out in Polynesian-inspired furnishings, with large TVs and comfortable beds that make returning to your room after a long day all the better. From helicopter tours of the island, to the luxurious Tales of the Kapa Moe luau, to snorkeling off a glass-bottom boat, there's never a dull moment here. After a relaxing treatment at the spa, you'll find yourself invigorated and ready for the next day's adventure.
The Hollywood Roosevelt, a staple since 1927, seamlessly blends the historic glamour of Hollywood's Golden Age with contemporary comforts. This long-standing hotel offers guests a dynamic dining landscape headlined by Shirley Brasserie, offering Californian takes on classic French fare, although the poolside Tropicana Bar is a favorite of guests. Visitors will adore the option to soak in the Southern California sun in the open-air Massage Garden, or hang by the Tropicana Pool adorned with a million-dollar mural painted by none other than David Hockney. With a prime location on Hollywood Boulevard, guests are in close proximity to famed attractions like the Walk of Fame and TCL Chinese Theater, ensuring endless entertainment.
There are luxury hotels that you go just to stay the night while you explore the area, and then there are hotels that offer luxurious experiences that make you never want to leave the property. The Langham Huntington, Pasadena, is in the second category, providing not just a place to rest your head but a full immersion into a life filled with grandeur. Whether you choose to laze by the pool or receive a treatment at the Chuan Spa, you'll never want for anything here—except for maybe more time to explore the endless amenities. If you'd like even more privacy and space, select a cottage suite when booking, as each offers a premium and intimate experience. The on-site dining venues here offer fresh, seasonal meals, although if you'd rather opt for a hearty Wagyu steak, you can easily find it as well.
For a taste of the authentic Hawaiian lifestyle that won't break the bank, check into The Twin Fin, located steps away from the beautiful beaches of Waikiki and near several local attractions. The hotel's 645 guest rooms, including 48 suites, are accented with mid-century modern design and surf-inspired accents, offering stunning views of Waikiki Beach from private lanais. The Twin Fin has a variety of on-site bars and restaurants to savor from sunrise to sunset, from breakfast overlooking the beach to beloved local dishes like shaved ice.
