The heat has officially broken in this South Carolina metropolis, which means one thing: run, don’t walk to The Charleston Place, the city’s iconic mainstay and reigning style star. This fall, Charleston’s grande dame is welcoming guests with 15% off a 3-night stay. Wondering how to spend your days (in addition to savoring the hotel's elevated Southern cuisine, indulging in spa treatments and taking advantage of The Charleston Place's 10/10 location)? After much anticipation, The International African American Museum opened its doors this summer and the hotel is offering tours from the hotel lobby to the museum (co-led by the founder of the local chapter of the BLM movement).

We couldn't think of a better way to travel from Paris to Venice. On the night of November 2nd, enjoy stellar performances by LGBTQ+ legends (like Honey Dijon!), unlimited Champagne (yes, please) and a gourmet four-course dinner. The dress code is "glamorous self-expression," and the vibe is fabulous.

New opening alerts: Casa San Agustín expansion, Pendry Newport Beach & Four Seasons Explorer, Palau

Casa San Agustín is one of our favorite boutique hotels. 31 sophisticated rooms, spread throughout three restored 17th-century buildings, comprise this charming Cartagena gem. We especially love the tile detailing, wood-beamed ceilings, original frescoes (found in the hotel's lovely library) and secluded pool flanked by an ancient aqueduct. And in the next couple months, the hotel will be adding six new cabaña-style accommodations on their private Acasi Beach, located on the heavenly Baru peninsula, about 90 minutes from the hotel proper.
Fora Perks:
$100 hotel / resort credit.
Breakfast daily.
Upgrade & extended check-in/out whenever possible.
If you needed another reason to pack your bags for California, you're in luck: Pendry Newport Beach is Orange County's cool new kid on the block. (We love the Pendry brand as a whole.) It's laid-back luxury at its finest. Plus, the hotel is steps away from some of SoCal's best shopping, restaurants, cafés... And did we mention the private member's club is *chef's kiss*?
Fora Perks:

Welcome amenity.
Breakfast daily.

It's true: Four Seasons launched a yacht. And yes: the decked-out luxury Explorer will take you around the unmatched Palau, a Micronesian island nation consisting of over 300 stunning islands and the best underwater marvels (its reefs are among the seven Wonders of the Underwater World).
