Scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2024, this hotel will offer 433 rooms, including 61 suites of various sizes.

The hotel is part of Evermore Orlando Resort, about three miles away from Walt Disney World (a shuttle service will take you there). So you can spend your time lazing at the 20-acre tropical-inspired private beach and eight-acre lagoon, swimming in the outdoor pool or teeing off at either of the two Jack Nicklaus-designed 18-hole golf courses.

Need a massage after a long day at the theme park? Try the Conrad Spa with a private water garden.

Feeling fully rejuvenated, you might then grab a table at Ceiba, opening later this month, for elevated Mexican cuisine — or head to the vintage tiki lounge at the Papaya Club for a waterside tipple.

This hotel is slated to welcome guests starting in the first quarter of 2024.

Get ready for some R&R at the full-service spa or feast at a new restaurant brand in partnership with “Iron Chef” Masaharu Morimoto and fan-favorite Wafu-Italian eatery pastaRAMEN by James Beard-nominated Chef Robbie Felice.

Or, grab Catalan tapas at Telefèric Barcelona or savor a taste of Paris at CE LA VI Bellevue. This 208-room newcomer from IHG Hotels & Resorts occupies nine floors of a 26-story tower that comprises a mixed-use complex.

This addition to Foster Supply Hospitality’s growing portfolio in New York’s Catskill Mountains is flying under the radar — but not for long.

Located on a campus of some 230 acres in Sullivan County, this getaway will allow you to get lost — but not too lost; follow the trail markers! — on sylvan trails.

You can bliss out with yoga nidra classes in a sanctuary-like setting with windows overlooking the storybook peaks, or indulge in some TLC at the spa with the Catskill Clay Wrap or Riverstone Harmony Massage. 

To round out your day, there are tennis courts, a gorgeous indoor pool and an activities center with workshops from candle-making to terrarium-building.

Breakfasts and lunches are included with your stay at Hemlock Neversink’s plant-centric restaurant. Dinner there is said to delight guests with outside-the-box vegan chilis, chocolate mousses and more, all washed down with orange wine or a local Catskill brew.

In January 2024, the former motor lodge and 1960s-era Borscht Belt stronghold Scribner’s Catskills Lodge will expand its offerings with the opening of The Rounds at Scribner’s, a collection of 11 private lodges just north of the main property.

These eye-catching 12-sided structures are appointed with a handsome smattering of contemporary and vintage furniture pieces, private outdoor cedar soaking tubs and showers, and a central oculus for stargazing.

There’s also a communal building with a wood-burning fireplace just begging for you to sit beside it and read a cozy mystery novel.

Welcoming guests to its serene embrace since December 2023, this newly re-imagined property is arguably worth highlighting.

You hardly have to leave the property during your stay, courtesy of two swimming pools, mini putting green, outdoor kitchen with grills, private dock, pickleball courts, fire pit and onsite market.

Plus, you can take to the water for fishing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. Watersport rentals, as well as bike rentals, are available on site.

For grub, the hotel is opening an on-site food truck this month; an on-site market is also on the grounds, and you can get to nearby restaurants via golf cart or by foot.

Before you leave this waterfront sanctuary, don’t forget to tally up how many types of wildlife you’ve seen; local species include oysters, manatees, snowy egrets and more.

Gearing up for an opening date in early 2024, the hotel offers a lot to love in Denver’s capital city.

The mansion’s original staircase also has carvings of gargoyles.

When stomachs growl, head to the main estate’s two-story carriage house to dine at Public House. It features wood-fired pizza and small plates from Brooklyn-based Roberta’s Pizza and a curated wine collection.

And don’t forget, the Rocky Mountains are at your doorstep if you want to get outside and breathe that fresh mountain air, too.
