HOTEL

www.riocelestehideaway.com

 

Why You’ll Love It

• Eco-friendly boutique hotel in tropical rainforest
• Near Tenorio Volcano National Park
• Complimentary spa credit

When you hear “rain forest,” do you think easy-going hikes by waterfalls or high-flying bridges through the trees? No matter: each is in reach of your eco-luxe casita—or “small house”—at Rio Celeste Hideaway Hotel. Experience Costa Rica’s unique natural beauty as you enjoy a blend of luxury design and flawless hospitality.

It’s not often your day begins with tropical breakfasts, follows with a trip to an active volcano, and winds down with a relaxing spa treatment and dinner. If it sounds like a bucket-list day, it’s because it is. And you’re poised to scratch it off. Whether you fill your days with poolside cocktails and siestas or rafting trips and biking, Rio Celeste has a must-live experience waiting for you.

Mexico – BAHIA HOTEL & BEACH CLUB – Fun in the Cabo Sun…

BAHIA HOTEL & BEACH CLUB
http://www.bahiacabo.com

Why You’ll Love It
Less than a minute from Cabo’s most popular beach
Retro-inspired décor
Pool with swim-up bar and hot tub
The staff at Bahia Hotel & Beach Club knows that when you’re in Cabo, the last thing you want to do is waste time figuring out your itinerary. That’s why every worker—from the concierge on duty 24/7 to the guy who takes your room service order—makes sure that the only thing you need to do yourself is apply sunscreen.

You’re in a crystal blue pool surrounded by day beds and palm trees. The only thing that could sweeten your current situation is a drink—good thing you don’t have to go far. The swim-up bar, with its signature cocktails, gourmet bites, and adjacent hot tub, is only one of Bahia’s many special touches.

Another one of the hotel’s must-visits is Bar Esquina. Do you know fresh? Hold off on your answer until you’ve indulged in organic coffee direct from Oaxaca and fish from the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez. This tasty fuel will keep you going through stand up paddleboarding lessons, snorkeling excursions, or relaxing afternoons on Medano Beach.

Chicago, IL – THE SUTTON PLACE HOTEL-CHICAGO – Posh Suites, Spectacular Views…

THE SUTTON PLACE HOTEL–CHICAGO

www.thompsonhotels.com

Why You’ll Love It

• The Gold Coast’s original luxury boutique hotel
• Steps from Oak Street shopping and some of the city’s best steakhouses and eateries
• Spacious suites complete with spa tubs and modern décor

Chicago’s Gold Coast: posh, modern, lively. Coincidentally, these words also describe your stay at The Sutton Place Hotel. First-class amenities—including 24-hour room service—and exceptional customer service are only the tip of the swanky iceberg.

At The Sutton Place Hotel, even the location is a luxury. The sweeping city views from your window and closeness to Michigan Avenue and Oak Street are almost too good to be true.

For mouthwatering meals, you only need to venture as far as the lobby. The Whiskey Bar & Grill has been satisfying guests with upscale comfort food (like whiskey-glazed chicken and Kobe burgers) for over a decade. And don’t skip brunch or you’ll miss the best mimosa and bellini bar you’ve ever seen.
