The weather’s finally bearable, the flowers are blooming and the mood is palpably elevated. In other words, spring is here; it’s time to travel. Below, we’ve rounded up the upcoming openings we’re most excited about, as well as some exclusive hotel promotions to take advantage of in the meantime.
Sagamore Pendry Baltimore: £50 daily hotel credit
Baltimore is the cool east coast escape you didn’t know you needed. And the Sagamore Pendry, housed in an early-20th-century building on the city’s Recreation Pier, is the perfect (and very cool) homebase from which to explore the dynamic city. The Pendry is all about curating hyperlocal experiences, but don’t miss some well-deserved pool time on their dedicated private deck, with sweeping views of the harbor. (Pro tip: the Pendry Washington DC – The Wharf is also running this special promotion.)

New opening alert: Four Seasons Resort and Residences Cabo San Lucas at Cabo Del Sol (May 1)
The Four Seasons has officially arrived on the Baja Peninsula, bringing its signature elegance and white-glove service — with refreshing hacienda-style charm — to the stunning natural playground. Free-dive off the hotel’s beach, play a round at their world-class golf course or enjoy a massage in a private outdoor garden. Reservations are already opening, and from May 1 on, you’ll be able to experience a whole new side to Cabo.
Our Perks:
We have my eyes set on this all-villa beachfront resort in the Cyclades. One&Only is a master at discrete luxury. Their hotels and resorts are located in remote, privileged destinations that allow guests to more authentically experience a place. At Kéa Island, you can indulge your adventurous side — the surrounding terrain is perfect for hiking, biking, trail running and more — explore secret coves via a private boat, dive and snorkel among shipwrecks, relax at their beach club and savour organic, locally sourced cuisine.
Our Perks:
Auberge excels at giving their properties a strong sense of place inspired by their surroundings. And this summer, The Dunlin, on the banks of the Kiawah River just 20 minutes outside of Charleston, is bringing cottage-chic vibes and Southern hospitality to the brand’s portfolio.
Our Perks:
Speaking of Auberge, at their hotels around the world — from Mauna Lani on Hawaiʻi to Etéreo on the Riviera Maya — all kids’-menu meals for the 10-and-under crowd will be complimentary this summer. Dates differ by property (at the Lodge at Blue Sky, for instance, the offer extends until the end of the year), so connect with us for the details. Regardless, you’ll have one less thing to worry about.
Our Perks (perks vary by property):
This Hawaiʻian resort pays homage to local tradition and heritage. Nearly all the resort’s art was crafted by local Hawaiʻians, and the majority of their culinary ingredients are sourced from local farms, if not from Kona Village’s onsite garden. After a day spent paddle-boarding or canoe surfing — or lounging by the beach, of course — retreat to the Asaya Spa, where traditional Hawaiʻian healing modalities inform the heavenly treatments.
Our Perks:
Fine print: valid for travel now through December 19
This Sicilian retreat boasts views of Mount Etna and the sparkling Naxos Bay. Linger on your private terrace, luxuriate at the Dior spa and savour local Sicilian specialities at one of the hotel’s beautiful restaurants, which range from breezy poolside bars to Michelin-Starred al-fresco dinners.
