From Paris to Palm Beach, we asked the it-girls of social to spill on their favorite hotels, the places that make them want to extend checkout indefinitely. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, a bachelorette weekend with your girls, or a spontaneous romantic escape, these are the stays setting the internet’s standard for stylish travel. Because if there’s one thing these women know, it’s how to choose a five-star stay with impeccable service (after all, who’s ever regretted ordering room service in a robe?).
Eden Rock St Barths
New York–based fashion and lifestyle influencer Kit Keenan counts Eden Rock St Barths among her forever favorites. “We always spend time here when visiting my boyfriend’s family,” she says. “It’s iconic — perched over Saint Jean Bay and captures the island’s glamour.” With its coral reefs, candy-colored beach umbrellas, and French Riviera energy, Eden Rock blends barefoot luxury with a jet-set spirit. It’s a destination that has defined Caribbean chic for decades — and still knows how to make every guest feel like a regular.
Le Meurice
A trip to Paris calls for a hotel with history, and for Kit Keenan, that’s Le Meurice. “I brought my grandmother here on her first trip to Paris — it feels timeless and feminine with Versailles-inspired interiors and a true sense of elegance.” Overlooking the Tuileries Gardens, Le Meurice is an icon of old-world grandeur where every moment — from breakfast in bed to an evening at the bar — feels cinematic. It’s the kind of place that turns a stay into a family memory.
&Beyond Safari Lodges
For something more immersive, Kit names &Beyond Safari Lodges as a life-changing experience. “Staying with &Beyond was eye-opening — their lodges combined incredible wildlife experiences with a deep commitment to conservation and community,” she says. From sunrise game drives to dinners beneath the stars, each lodge redefines what it means to travel with purpose. It’s luxury that leaves a legacy, proving that beauty and responsibility can exist side by side.
The Twenty Two
Fashion influencer Sara Walker — known to her followers as @styledsara — calls The Twenty Two in London “the most incredible room I’ve ever seen,” describing how the wallpaper matched the couch and the pillows with “unmatched attention to detail.” A magnet for the fashion set, this West End hotel balances decadent design with an intimate, residential feel; where every corner feels considered and every pattern deliberate. It’s the kind of place that feels distinctly London — classic, a little daring, and impossibly chic.
San Ysidro Ranch
For Sara, the dreamiest stays come with a story — and few places embody romance like San Ysidro Ranch in California. “Truly the most perfect stay,” she says. “It was all so dreamy, and the service was top tier — I think it’s my favorite stay ever.” Nestled among lavender fields and oak trees, this Montecito hideaway blends Old Hollywood charm with an effortlessly serene spirit. The private cottages, flower-lined paths, and legendary hospitality make it a favorite for couples seeking a quiet kind of luxury.
Château de Messardière
If there’s one thing New York fashion influencer Audrey Peters knows best, it’s the art of luxury. She describes Château de Messardière in Saint-Tropez as “one of the prettiest hotel properties in the world.” Set atop rolling hills with panoramic views of the French Riviera, it’s an escape that feels both glamorous and serene. “You don’t even need to leave the hotel,” she says. “It has everything — and as a buffet connoisseur, I can confirm the breakfast and dinner spreads are unmatched.” With its private beach club, spa, and sculpted gardens, it’s the kind of place that makes St. Tropez feel like your own private estate.

Hotel Il Pellicano
Of all her recent getaways, Audrey says Hotel Il Pellicano was the one that lived up to every bit of its legend. “I had been dying to visit and went last summer — it did not disappoint,” she shares. “It’s the epitome of a European summer — so chic.” Perched along the Tuscan coast, this storied seaside hotel exudes timeless glamour, from striped loungers and sun-faded terraces to aperitivos served at golden hour. It’s where understated luxury meets Riviera nostalgia — a place that feels effortlessly cool, no filter required.

Passalacqua
Set on the iconic shores of Lake Como, Audrey calls Passalacqua “the most homey hotel I’ve ever stayed in.” Guests are treated like family — “they literally let you into the kitchen late at night for snacks,” she says. “There’s a menu, but it doesn’t matter — they’ll make you anything you want.” Between its frescoed ceilings, manicured gardens, and rare blend of intimacy and indulgence, Passalacqua redefines Italian hospitality. It’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime stays that feels both grand and grounding.
La Bionda
Fashion and content creator Luna Isabella, based between Barcelona and Amsterdam, calls La Bionda in Begur one of her most memorable finds. “The interior is so cozy and cool,” she says. “The owner, Carla, and her service are the best — and the breakfast is so, so good.” Tucked in a quiet seaside town along Spain’s Costa Brava, La Bionda feels like a home away from home for design lovers. With thoughtful touches, pastel-toned rooms, and a setting surrounded by charming beaches, it’s the kind of boutique stay that lingers long after you leave.
Morvedra Nou
For a true escape, Luna turns to Morvedra Nou, a peaceful hideaway on the island of Menorca. “The rooms have their own private pools — it’s a place to completely relax,” she shares. Set among citrus trees and wildflowers, this adults-only retreat offers sweeping views and a deep sense of calm. Every stay feels private and personal, the kind of Mediterranean simplicity that defines understated luxury.
Nine Orchard
When she’s in New York, Luna’s go-to is Nine Orchard, an effortlessly cool Lower East Side hotel surrounded by boutiques, restaurants, and that distinct downtown energy. “It’s in a very cool area, surrounded by shops and restaurants, and the salted chocolate cookies service at the end of the day makes everything complete,” she says. Between the skyline views, mid-century interiors, and warm, insider energy, Nine Orchard captures the art of the perfect city stay — polished, personal, and full of character.
Etéreo, Auberge Resorts Collection
For fashion and lifestyle influencer Yuyan, few places capture tranquility quite like Etéreo. “Every detail at Etéreo feels so intentional,” she says. “From the stunning designs with natural textures and warm lighting to the incredible spa that feels like a sanctuary, the whole resort radiates an effortless sense of peace and renewal.” Tucked along the Riviera Maya, this Auberge outpost is where design, nature, and stillness coexist beautifully — the kind of retreat that stays with you long after you’ve left.
The Mayflower Inn & Spa
In Connecticut, Yuyan finds comfort in the timeless charm of The Mayflower Inn & Spa. “This quintessential New England inn captured my heart the first time I visited,” she says. “It’s so charming and serene with fireplaces in cozy sitting rooms, the most delicious farm-to-table meals, and beautiful warm rooms.” Equal parts refined and inviting, it’s an escape that feels tailor-made for slow mornings, good books, and restorative weekends away.
Marina Bay Sands
And when she craves energy over calm, Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands tops her list. “It feels like the heartbeat of Singapore,” Yuyan shares. “It’s bold, beautiful, and completely unforgettable. From the infinity pool that seems to float above the skyline to the restaurants that turn dining into an experience, my stay there was a dream and every detail is designed to impress.” Grand yet visionary, it’s a city landmark that makes every guest feel like they’re living in the clouds.
