December Exclusives to End 2023 & Start 2024 on a High Note
It's the most wonderful time of year to start thinking and planning your Next Big Trip. Lucky for us, some of my favorite partner hotels are offering beautiful deals just in time for the holidays. And I'd argue that few gifts top travel. Read on to discover my final exclusives roundup of the year.
Turtle Bay Resort: 20% off rates
Rooms will go quickly at this luxury Oahu resort. The North Shore oasis is intimate and tranquil — and a surfer's paradise. Enjoy the area's abundant wildlife, take surf lessons from a pro, hop in a helicopter to explore the island from above, relax at the spa — we could go on. Turtle Bay Resort is the perfect gift this holiday season.

Montage Palmetto Bluff: 4th night free
This quintessential Southern escape sits on South Carolina's May River, and is a short drive away from can't-miss destinations like Savannah and Hilton Head Island. But there's plenty to do at the resort itself: kayaking, fishing, paddle boarding, golfing, yacht cruising — the list goes on. Here is a place primed for Lowcountry luxury.

Equinox Hotel, New York City: 3rd night free
If you're looking for a hotel that not only supports, but optimizes, your health and wellbeing, Equinox Hotel New York is the obvious choice. It's home to one of the best hotel gyms I've ever seen, has a proprietary sleep program integrated into the design of each room and takes its spa very seriously (cryotherapy, NutriDrip IV drips, quantum harmonics sessions, infrared sauna and numerous heavenly treatments are all available). And don't miss Electric Lemon, Equinox's stylish farm-to-table restaurant with some of Manhattan's best views.

Madeline Hotel & Residences, Auberge Resorts Collection: 4th night free
Telluride's premier ski-in / ski-out resort offers one-on-one support to take the guesswork and stress out of your ski vacation. (Dedicated Ski Valet and Adventure Guide, anyone?) So all you need to do is show up, clip in and enjoy the mountain. After a day on the slopes, nurture sore muscles at the spa (trust) before a locally sourced, hearty dinner at Black Iron Kitchen + Bar.

L’Ermitage Beverly Hills: 4th night free
I love this storied Beverly Hills retreat for a discreet, ultra-stylish urban getaway. Here, you'll feel like a movie star: the service is top-notch, the restaurant is elegant and sexy and the design combines modern sophistication with a nod to Hollywood's glamorous Golden Era. And did I mention the rooftop pool?

Hotel de Rome, a Rocco Forte Hotel: 3rd night free
Despite its name, you'll find this playful, luxe hotel in Berlin, on Bebelplatz, the city's famed public square. The hotel is housed in a handsome 19th-century Dresden Bank, and I love how pops of color and eclectic patterns vibrantly juxtapose the building's historic bones. After a day of exploring, dinner at Chiaro, Hotel de Rome's excellent Italian restaurant, is a must.

The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon: 3rd night free for suites & penthouses, extra savings on all rooms
I'll never grow tired of The Standard: the brand is fun, playful, cheeky and delightfully eclectic. The vibes are always good, especially at The Standard's Bangkok location, where a rooftop pool and several sleek dining options make for an especially stylish stay. Here, there's always a party going on.
