Favorite Hotel Getaways in the US

Spent some time putting together a list to answer the question - where should we go for a weekend getaway?

A guiding principle behind the hotels on this list is the concept of “worth it” in terms of effort to get there and investment in terms of cost. So while some of these might be on the higher-end (ahem, Amangiri), they’ve all passed the test of being great places to stay - which is the metric vs “new on the scene.” All of these are deemed “worth it.”

This list is a compilation of the recommendations that kept coming up from my most well-traveled friends and colleagues. I keep adding to it as I hear of or think of other spots that should be on this list! – B.L.

Bishops Lodge (Auberge) in Santa Fe

• Bishop's Lodge is awesome, 10 minutes outside of town with a shuttle. Best for those who want a break from crowds, and like nature and art. Book one of the Kiva Suites or the Chapel House.

Mi Amo in Sedona

• Mi Amo is a spa destination, a wellness retreat jewel. It has an incredible program, even the toughest-to-please guests report back with rave reviews. If you like Miraval or Canyon Ranch, you’ll love Mi Amo.
