November 12, 2026 Travel Newsletter You deserve a trip that has a story to tell. A caviar hotline you can dial from the bedside phone, a speakeasy tucked inside a 1902 grand hotel, a Michelin-level jazz salon on Fifth Avenue, a rooftop restaurant above the Back Bay, and a Maine beach just steps from your room. Five stays, five stories, and every one of them is best told in person. Here’s where to book. The Newbury Boston Boston, MA At the corner of Newbury and Arlington Streets, The Newbury Boston faces the Public Garden from the middle of the Back Bay, in a landmark building restored and reimagined after a century of Boston history. Guestrooms pair heritage architecture with residential comfort: original artwork by illustrator Veronica Lawlor, custom furnishings by interior designer Alexandra Champalimaud, handcrafted woods, and marble touches. Guests also get private access to The Library and Fitness Center, plus preferred seating at The Street Bar. That bar has long been the neighborhood’s social hub, and it hosts Afternoon Tea beside crackling fireplaces. Contessa, the glass-enclosed four-season rooftop restaurant by Major Food Group, serves Italian cuisine in a Ken Fulk-designed room with sweeping city views. Newbury Street’s boutiques are outside the door, and the Tiffany flagship sits in the lobby. Read More The Pierre, A Taj Hotel, New York New York, NY Beneath the green canopy of Central Park on the Upper East Side, The Pierre, A Taj Hotel, New York has stood as a monument to Manhattan grandeur since 1930. Its history reads like a guest list: Elizabeth Taylor and Yves Saint Laurent made their homes in the residences, and Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn are named among those who once called the halls home. Rooms offer serene interiors and picturesque views. Dining blends French-American plates and spice-laced Indian classics, with Perrine serving thoughtfully seasonal menus, and private dining available in bespoke spaces for celebrations. Two E Bar & Lounge is a jazz salon with craft cocktails, refined bar bites, and candlelit conversation. The Les Clefs d’Or concierge team builds personalized itineraries, from private gallery viewings to hidden architectural gems. A distinguished landmark that treats nearly a century of service as a standing commitment. Read More Omni Mount Washington Resort Bretton Woods, NH Completed in 1902 by industrialist Joseph Stickney, Omni Mount Washington Resort sits at the base of Mount Washington in Bretton Woods—a National Historic Landmark that has hosted presidents, celebrities, and a landmark international economic conference. More than 250 Italian craftsmen spent two years on its Spanish Renaissance Revival façade and colonnaded veranda, and the hotel rooms and suites carry sweeping mountain views. Dining ranges from The 1902, a modern take on a century-old classic with a New England-inspired menu, to Stickney’s Steak & Chop Pub, with the prohibition-era Cave speakeasy and the hand-painted ceiling murals of The Princess Lounge for the evening. A 25,000-square-foot spa, indoor and outdoor pools, golf, zipline tours, and scenic gondola rides keep the resort busy all four seasons. Bretton Woods, New Hampshire’s largest ski area, adds 464 acres of winter terrain. A grand hotel that still earns the title. Read More Park Lane New York New York, NY At 36 Central Park South, Park Lane New York faces the park head-on, with rooms and suites designed by Yabu Pushelberg and unobstructed views that are a good enough reason on their own to book. Hand-painted murals inspired by A Carnival of Animals in Strawberry Fields add some whimsy, and connecting rooms suit groups who want to travel together. On the 47th floor, Darling is the only rooftop lounge on Central Park South, with curated cocktails and skyline views. Rose Lane is a Parisian Art Nouveau-inspired spot for morning coffee, lunch, or a nightcap, and Cavert’s brings a new take on Central Park South flavors. Guests get a Jo Loves bath line, a fitness center with Peloton bikes and Lululemon MIRROR, a pet-friendly welcome, and a caviar hotline. Nordstrom’s flagship, the Museum of Arts and Design, and the Frick are close by. Read More Anchorage By The Sea Ogunquit, ME For more than four decades, Anchorage By The Sea has been a fixture of coastal resort life in Ogunquit, overlooking the Atlantic and steps from one of the southern Maine coast’s most beautiful beaches. Waterfront and village-side rooms and suites range from intimate to grand, set around a meticulously kept property. Surf Point 360, the signature restaurant between the lobby and the ocean, was recently re-envisioned with a menu of traditional Maine seafood and contemporary American fare, served from breakfast through dinner with water views. Bar 360, a 21+ cocktail lounge with a sun-soaked deck, claims the best views of Ogunquit Beach. The Spa at Anchorage By The Sea, in the reimagined former Graham House, offers a quiet hour away from your phone. The Marginal Way trail, galleries, boutiques, and eateries of Ogunquit’s town center are close by. A seaside resort that keeps family-friendly charm and polish in balance.
