5 Seaside Spring Break Getaways
Acqualina Resort and Spa Miami Beach, FL
Acqualina Resort & Residences, an exquisite hotel on 4.5 acres of beachfront property in Miami Beach, is truly in a league of its own. The renowned resort was recently named the #1 Best Hotel in the U.S. in 2024 along with a host of other accolades including being named a Five Star Hotel and Five Star Spa for 12 years. With a unique Mediterranean villa-inspired design, exquisite views of the sea, and uninterrupted access to the beach, it's plain to see why this hotel is so beloved. The Old World architectural features, manicured gardens, and terrace views of the ocean evoke a distinctly European ambiance, while the Seashore Paspalum grass, signature red umbrellas, and palm-tree-lined oceanfront pools place you squarely in a classic American setting.
Originally opened in 1928, this iconic hotel has been a top destination for those looking for a luxurious stay on Florida's Gulf Coast. The so-called "Pink Palace" incorporates Mediterranean and Moorish influences, making it a unique destination that once attracted the likes of Marilyn Monroe and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Though the building may date back to the Gatsby era, the hotel has recently been fully renovated to refresh the 277 rooms as well as other amenities and dining options. The guest rooms artfully combine beachy whimsy and classic elegance, with blush tones, tropical graphics, and wicker accents perfectly complemented by art-deco-inspired gold lighting fixtures, plush linens, and stunning views. Head out for a day of relaxation on the private beach, lounge by the heated pools, or rent a WaveRunners, kayak or paddle board if you're feeling adventurous.
An adults-only slice of paradise on the Caribbean coast of Mexico, this beachside hotel is luxurious and well-equipped, perfect for those vacations where you don't want to do much planning past the flights and hotel. A cozy spa offers globally-inspired treatments, and the nine on-site restaurants reach as far across the map as the Mediterranean and Asia for their menus. This hotel is in the heart of the city's hotel zone, meaning that it's easy to take a short walk and do some luxury shopping at nearby La Isla. Not to mention, the stunning tropical island of Cozumel is only a brief ferry ride away.
Centrally located just a few blocks from the best San Francisco has to offer, Hotel Nikko is a hyper-roomy hotel, carefully designed with Japanese-inspired decor. Aspects of the architectural designs mimic the fluid lines of a traditional kimono, with Eastern-influenced textiles adorning the space as well. The sprawling lobby features a glass entryway, white marble floors, and fountains that add a soothing ambiance, and distinct Japanese styling, like brushstroke paintings, can be found around every corner. Grab a simple but delicious Japanese-Californian fusion bite at the onsite ANZU, where you can opt for omakase or grab some sushi à la carte.
On the site of what was once the mansion of railroad tycoon Leland Stanford, the Stanford Court San Francisco is perched atop the affluent Nob Hill neighborhood, boasting an excellent location with million-dollar views. The hotel features a perfect blend of high-class and high-tech with a mural based on Eadweard Muybridge's "Sallie Gardner at a Gallop" in the lobby, a music room with hundreds of vinyl albums, and a tech loaner program for guests to use. The well-appointed rooms are designed with stark white walls, herringbone floors, and bright upholstery, and offer interior and exterior-facing options, each with spacious marble bathrooms complete with rain showers and heated towel racks.
