Why Nine Orchard Is One of the Most Stylish Stays in Downtown Manhattan
Housed in a restored 1912 bank building on the Lower East Side, Nine Orchard is the kind of New York hotel that makes you exhale the moment you walk in. The lighting is flattering, the playlist never competes, and the design is so thoughtful you immediately start reimagining your own home. Between a velvet-lined bar, à la carte breakfast reserved just for guests, and rooms that feel both historic and modern, it turns even a single night into a full reset.
Ritz-Carlton Turtle Bay Review: Is It the Best Luxury Resort on Oʻahu’s North Shore?
Set on Oʻahu’s raw and cinematic North Shore, The Ritz-Carlton Turtle Bay is where barefoot Hawaiian beauty meets Ritz-Carlton polish. Think oceanview rooms with lanais for sunrise coffee, beachfront bungalows straight out of a film set, and a cliffside bar with the best surf break views on the island. From Lomi Lomi massages at Nalu Spa to horseback riding on coastal trails, private surf lessons, and even two waterslides that kept our son busy for hours, the resort blends serenity, space, and just the right amount of indulgence. This is not Waikīkī — and that’s the point.
