Read on about Gabrielle, Krista, and Lindsay’s all-time favorite hotels and resorts, and why they love them.

GABRIELLE WARNCKE

Six Senses Bhutan - As an adventurer who likes to travel to remote ends of the Earth, Six Senses collection of lodges in Bhutan’s Five Valleys is simply stunning. From the forest within a forest in Bumthang to the flying farmhouse in the rice fields of Punaka to the Stone Ruins of Paro, each lodge is more stunning than the last. Every property is luxurious in its own right but with a definite sense of place. Bhutan is a magical place to explore. Make sure to include some leisure days to just enjoy the spectacular surroundings.

&Beyond Bateleur Camp was one of my first experiences in Africa, and still one of my favorites. The camp is located in Kenya’s iconic Masai Mara National Reserve, home to the yearly Great Migration of wildebeest. Bateleur is small and elegant, comprised of two camps with only nine tents each. From opportunities for hot air balloon rides over the Mara to amazing dinner in the bush, there are surprises around every corner and abundant wildlife all around.

Four Seasons Hualalai - As a lover of the sea as well as a land adventurer, the Big Island of Hawaii holds a special place in my heart, as does the Four Seasons Hualalai.  It is set along a stunning piece of coastline that perfectly blends with nature. Whether it’s a snorkel in King’s pond, a round of golf, or a relaxing day at the beach, pool, or spa, this breathtaking property offers something for everyone. 

KRISTA WISSINGER

Four Seasons Costa Rica - Maybe one of my favorite places ever. The friendly staff makes you feel like family from the moment you check in. Two beaches and tons of activities; you never run out of things to do! I spent hours on our spacious balcony, simply enjoying the amazing views before getting ready for dinner at one of the many outstanding restaurants they have. 

The Stafford - Service at its finest in vibrant London! I stayed here with my mom and immediately fell in love with it. We visited the American Bar and the atmosphere was one of a kind. The hotel hit every mark for me... luxury, fun, and a great location to start your exploration!

Hotel Solar de las Animas - A very authentic Mexican hotel in the heart of Tequila, Mexico. I have never stayed at a place that made me feel so immersed in the local culture. The hotel boasts a traditional colonial style with all the comforts of a luxury property. As soon as you walk out the doors you can smell the agave being prepared into tequila. 

LINDSAY BECKER

Carillon Miami - I love the energy, food, and culture of Miami, Florida. But sometimes, I just want to go and be pampered in a beautiful and luxurious hotel. For me, a true wellness retreat can be found at the Carillon. Each guest at the hotel gets full access to their world-class spa and variety of fitness classes. A perfect day for me at the Carillon starts with sunrise yoga in their ocean-view studio, a facial at the spa, and ends with a cocktail and a fresh, healthy dinner at their on-site restaurant, The Strand.

Blackberry Mountain - If you’ve been to the “The Farm” you know what level of service and luxury to expect from a Blackberry property. Blackberry Mountain certainly doesn’t disappoint. Built mountainside in the Tennessee Smokies, the sister property to Blackberry Farm offers a broad range of accommodations and dining, with a more modern touch. On a recent girl trip, we enjoyed a s’more kit delivered to our room and an outdoor fire made near our private hot tub overlooking the Tennessee mountains. After a day of hiking and exploring the property, Blackberry Mountain knows how to bring wellness and luxury together so perfectly.

Schloss Fuschl - The charm of Europe calls me back each time I’m planning a trip with my husband. And there is something so special about the sweet and tiny country of Austria. Schloss Fuschl is an old hunting lodge turned posh hotel situated on a stunning lake in the Austrian mountains. Located only 25 minutes from the charming city of Salzburg, you can take a pause from the sightseeing and relax and eat from the on-site fishery at this hidden gem. I can’t stop dreaming about the chocolate torte and mountain views from their incredible lakeside balconies that ooze Austrian charm.
