Lupaia

Few hotels so seamlessly blend modern luxury with reverence for the past as Lupaia, a magical 12-suite escape on a bucolic hillside in Montepulciano. The property was originally a collection of 17th-century stone stables built by farmers. Today, these stables have been converted into charming, airy rooms and suites equipped with luxe furnishings as well as exposed beams, stone and original pillars, reflecting the property’s historical (and charming) rusticity. In keeping with that theme, ultra-nourishing and comforting Tuscan peasant cuisine is prepared in Lupaia’s open-air kitchen, using the finest locally sourced ingredients, plus those soured directly from the estate itself, including pomegranates, figs, quince and their signature organic extra virgin olive oil.

Our Perks:

• Welcome amenity, breakfast daily, upgrade whenever possible.
  

Flemings Mayfair Hotel

And don’t miss Flemings’ signature restaurant, Ormer, with its well-deserved Michelin Star and mouth-watering tasting menus highlighting the season’s freshest produce.

The Hoxton brand excels at blending hip design and effortless hyperlocality. Indeed, the hotels tend to be the preferred hang-out spots for locals in cosmopolitan cities. The Hoxton, Amsterdam, is centrally located, near the city’s historic Herengracht canal, and the canal district in general, while The Hoxton, Lloyd is located in the city’s ultramodern Eastern Docklands. At both locations, expect stylish, comfy rooms, casual (and very chic) restaurants, warm service and the best local recs.

Our Perks:

• Welcome amenity, exclusive rates, upgrade whenever possible.
