3 City Escapes in Boston, NYC, and LA!

Sometimes a change of scenery can be just the refresh you need to put a smile on your face! There are some truly amazing city escapes that offer you the relaxation and pampering that we all could use right now. Hotels are putting in place numerous precautions and safety measures to make sure that you feel comfortable during your stay. I have personally experienced quite a few of these over the past few months and am happy to go into more detail with you about them. I can help you plan a local getaway in any city but here are 3 that I personally love in Boston, NYC, and LA!

FAIRMONT COPLEY PLAZA

BOSTON

This is my "go-to" hotel in Boston for a lot of reasons: the location is superb - nestled in the heart of Back Bay and South End and surrounded by tons of great restaurants and shopping; their onsite restaurant, OAK Long Bar + Kitchen, is incredible itself; and the beds are wonderfully comfortable. Plus, they have put in place extensive safety measures during the pandemic that made me feel comfortable and safe during my recent stay. Reach out to me for more about these.

Right now, they have incredible rates and you receive the following when you book with me: 

  • Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability

  • Full breakfast daily for two guests per bedroom, in restaurant

  • $100 USD Food & Beverage credit to be utilized during stay (not combinable, no cash value if not redeemed in full.. Credit may be used towards OAK Long Bar + Kitchen, In Room Dining and Mini-Bar)

  • Complimentary Wi-fi

  • Early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability

THE MARK

NEW YORK CITY

The Mark is a combination of French style and modern American comfort nestled in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Not only is the design of the hotel incredible and something to see, but they also put so many wonderful small touches into a guest's stay - you will certainly leave with a smile on your face. I especially love the ‘lunch-to-go’ created by celebrated chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten which allows you to do a relaxing picnic right in Central Park. Right now, they are offering wonderful promotions including 20% off weekend stays and stay 3 nights, get your fourth night free if you want a little longer getaway. And, as a member of Preferred Hotels, I am able to get you special perks during your stay!

SUNSET TOWER HOTEL
LOS ANGELES


Each client of mine that has stayed in this property has raved about their experience and for good reason. Sunset Tower is the perfect blend of old Hollywood with modern luxury and comfort. They have the wonderful Tower Bar onsite which is the perfect place to grab a snack and cocktail. Plus, their pool is now open so you can enjoy the Los Angeles sunshine (hopefully not too much of the heat!) in style!

They are currently running some incredible specials including a free night when you book 2 nights in a Deluxe King Suite or higher. (Can we say long weekend?) When you book with me, you receive:

  • Complimentary continental breakfast daily for up to 2 registered guests

  • Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability

  • $100 USD Food & Beverage credit to be utilized during stay*

  • Early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability

  • Complimentary Wi-Fi
