If you’re planning to attend the Paris Olympics and see a bit of Europe this summer, you have a variety of plush new hotels from which to choose (though they’re likely to fill up quickly). Whether you’re going to the Games or simply going on vacation, you’ll find fresh boutique properties in Paris and many more that are an easy flight away, be it to the French Riviera, Rome, or fittingly, an island in Greece, the birthplace of the ancient games.

Traveling Light: How to Pack a Carry-on
  + stars: | 2024-04-03 | by ( Stephanie Rosenbloom | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
For some travelers, the mere thought of packing a carry-on bag can sour even the most potent vacation anticipation. But packing light can also be a creative endeavor that helps build excitement for your upcoming getaway. And with fees for checked bags on the rise, it makes economic sense to master the art of packing a carry-on. Get in the minimalist mind-setIf you tend to over-pack, begin by thinking about why you’re traveling in the first place. “When you’re traveling,” she explained, “it’s more about you seeing the world than the world seeing you.”Pack colors that coordinate so you can bring fewer items yet still have options, like re-wearing the same pants with various shirts.

When is a hotel more than a place to sleep? When it’s in a building with a storied past, allowing guests to go back in time to the Gilded Age or Edwardian era as easily as they go to the gym or spa. Nowadays you can check into a 17th-century former soap factory on the French Riviera, or part of the Old War Office in London, or a Renaissance-palazzo-style building that was once a bank in New York. Here are five new hotels in historic spaces where you can experience the past and present, delighting in the architecture of vanished days even as you indulge in the latest luxuries.

Make Sparks Fly at 5 Romantic Getaways

This month, you and your partner can escape to the Catskills and hole up in one of 11 new private cabins called the Rounds. Nestled in the woods and close to Hunter’s ski slopes, they all have vaulted ceilings and an oculus for gazing up at the stars without sacrificing warmth or comfort. Their nearly circular shape and uncluttered, contemporary décor are a departure from what you might think of when you hear the word “cabin.”Choose either a standard 12-sided Round, or one of the roomier Round suites, which have wet bars, sunken circular lounges and day beds. There’s also an accessible suite that the property says is compliant with Americans With Disabilities Act regulations. All of the Rounds have fireplaces and outdoor cedar soaking tubs available for you to take a plunge, even in winter.
Just in time for Thanksgiving, this all-suite hotel in southwestern Pennsylvania will open on Nov. 20 at Nemacolin, a sprawling resort with three hotels and other types of accommodations such as estates, homes and townhomes. Set amid the Laurel Highlands, the Grand Lodge has 56 suites, each with a dedicated butler. For cocktails there’s the Circle Bar, a lounge that adjoins the Study, where you can slip away for quieter conversations. Also beginning on Nov. 24, you can visit the resort’s Hardy’s Holiday Village, where there will be dance performances by “elves” and places to sip cocoa and savor sweets. Prices for the Grand Lodge start at $2,000 a night.

Shuttered in 2018, it reopened this year after a renovation that included new buildings and a new name. You can choose from 67 rooms, four of which are restored cottages dating to the early 1900s. There are new guest rooms, each with a patio, terrace or sun porch, situated in structures called Guest Houses. Also new is the two-bedroom Courtyard cottage with a living room and private outdoor space where you can end the day beside an outdoor fireplace or in a hot tub. The Homestead cottage has two bedrooms and private outdoor space as well.

Mendoza, ArgentinaWhile it’s summer in the United States, it’s winter in Argentina, when there are typically fewer crowds. Located in a suburb of Mendoza, the hotel is nestled between the Andes and the city of Mendoza, and has just seven suites. Each suite also has a living room, a terrace and a wine fridge (some also have dry saunas). There are wine tastings, of course, as well as blending classes where you can combine different varietals to create your own wine. Here, wine isn’t just for drinking: You can try a spa treatment like the body hydration wrap with red wine cream and raisins.

The Art of Being a Flâneur

I followed the river toward the Uffizi Gallery where I stopped, enchanted by the scene below. It’s “a search for the delectable, delicious, almost gustatory delights of the moment,” as they put it. Other times, an object or architectural detail that piques your interest — a gate, a gargoyle — provides a portal to another time. Stories of vanished ages can be triggered by a single stone, then explored back home through books and websites. Being in a big city among so many strangers can be at turns exhilarating and disturbing.

Hotels Roll Out the Red Carpet for Pets
  + stars: | 2023-05-15 | by ( Stephanie Rosenbloom | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
As anyone who travels with a pet knows, sometimes questions or concerns about their health or behavior arise while you’re on the road. Guests can gain access to the service through a phone help line and a website with a live-chat feature and get advice and answers to questions about pet health, wellness and behavior. Today, nearly 85 percent of U.S. Hilton properties are pet‑friendly. Check individual hotels for programs, policies and pricing. Whether you choose a penthouse in Barcelona or a roomy log cabin in Waynesville, N.C., there are plenty of high-end, pet-friendly homes, many for less than the cost of a hotel room.
