As we head into 2025, new promotions make travelling all the easier. Even better, the below offers align with our Hot List, a compilation of the trends and destinations we’re most excited about this year. Let us help you narrow down your options.

The Mandarin Oriental, Munich, is a polished hotel in the city’s Old Town. You’ll love the stately, inviting rooms, where plush velvet chairs come in vibrant teal, complemented by splashes of yellow and regal wooden floors. The bathrooms are expansive and marble-clad, with giant soaking tubs and generously sized vanities. The hotel’s central location makes it an excellent homebase for exploring Munich’s cultural and historical gems. But a fair warning: You may find it difficult to leave.

Lake Tahoe is beautiful any time of year, but especially in the winter. Edgewood’s unparalleled location in South Tahoe, overlooking the lake’s glacial waters and the snowcapped peaks, allows you to soak up all the season’s beauty. The hotel’s proximity to Heavenly Ski Resort (part of the Epic Pass) and its on-site ski-rental service make hitting the slopes blissfully seamless. (The skiers and snowboarders among us know how much of a hassle just getting on the mountain can be.) End your snow day cozied up by your room’s fireplace, warm beverage in hand.
Our Perks:
Fine print: valid for travel now through June 15, 2025

US ski will be big this year. Ski resorts across the country are stepping up their game, with the luxe hotels to match. Enter Pendry Park City, a contemporary ski-in / ski-out resort in the town’s slopeside Canyons Village. You’ll love Pendry’s signature modernist, sleek aesthetic — all with a cozy alpine flair. Ski all day, then retreat to the spa to recover tired muscles. Après at the rooftop Pool House for cocktails and local beers, or at Après Pendry for classics like chili and fondue.
Our Perks:
Fine print: valid for travel now through April 13, 2025, for trips booked at least 14 days in advance.

Once again: domestic ski, this time in Teton Village, Jackson Hole. The LEED Silver-certified Hotel Terra is the perfect cozy, boutique escape after attacking the slopes (the Tetons have some serious terrain). Skiers of all levels will appreciate the on-site ski concierge. You can even have your skis shipped directly to the hotel itself, courtesy of Terra’s partnership with ship Ski. Relax in the rooftop hot tub and infinity pool before heading down to Il Villaggio Osteria for homemade pasta and wood-oven-fired pizza.
Our Perks:
Image courtesy of One&Only Kéa Island
One of the trends we’re anticipating this year is the rise of unsung Mediterranean islands, like Kéa. One&Only has mastered sense of place. Each of their luxe retreats is in a discreet, objectively beautiful location — somewhere far from the crowds and off the beaten path. The newly opened, all-villa One&Only Kéa Island is a study in breezy Cycladic minimalism. The destination itself is ideal for active adventure: run along ancient trails, bike, hike…Refuel with an organic, locally sourced meal of vegetables, fresh fish, and succulent meats doused in grassy extra virgin olive oil and bright, herbaceous sauces.
Our Perks:
Stay dates: Valid for travel from April 1 to May 31, 2025 and September 15 to October 31, 2025

Two other themes for 2025 are going the extra mile and Thailand everything. Far-flung destinations are in — especially Bhutan — and Thailand will be hotter than ever thanks to hosting the forthcoming season 3 of “The White Lotus.” Amanpuri and Amankora, then, are the perfect match. You’ll spend four nights at Amanpuri, in Phuket, before being whisked away by private jet to Amankora, where you’ll spend two nights at their Paro lodge, two nights at their Thimphu lodge and two nights at their lodge in Punakha. The package includes additional bespoke activities and excursions like lantern lighting, massages, picnics, daily afternoon tea and stamp making.
