Summer hotels that belong on your List 🏖️

[MensJournal.com]( [Inside Hotels]( Summer Hotels That Belong on Your List Hotels now in the summer offer an unparalleled escape into relaxation and adventure. With longer days and warmer weather, these hotels transform into havens of leisure, inviting guests to bask in the sunshine by sparkling pools or pristine beaches. Or a fun night in the big city. Here are five of our favorites … [The Don Cesar]( St. Petersburg, FL 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. [TAKE ME THERE →]( [Casa de Campo]( La Romana, Dominican Republic Set on a sleepy stretch of Dominican Republic coastline, Casa de Campo Resort & Villas is the comprehensive La Romana resort that's been setting the standard for luxury travel in the Caribbean since it first opened in the 1970s. The private gated community and resort features an array of activities making it an ideal destination for families and multi-generational groups traveling together. From luxury villa homes with up to 12 bedrooms and the new Premier Suites accommodations, guests can enjoy horseback riding, a petting zoo with ponies for the kids, shooting center, 13 tennis courts, a private beach, 3 pools, a replica of a 16th-century village with its own amphitheater, marina and yacht club. The main draws are the three golf courses wedged between ocean bluffs and the jungle including "Teeth of the Dog" (ranked #1 in the Caribbean). [TAKE ME THERE →]( [The Joule]( Dallas, TX This Texan hotel is five-star-yet-funky, the beating cultural heart of Downtown Dallas. Aptly named for the unit of energy, The Joule is absolutely buzzing with activity and overflowing with personality. Plus, it has some of the best art, shopping, and dining under its Neo-Gothic roof. Stepping into the lobby you’re immediately greeted by the hotel’s museum-worthy art collection while one of the city’s most iconic works, The Eye, watches from across the street. Flip through a book in The Taschen Library just off the lobby, or snag a few staples from the hotel shop. The Joule is a hub for happenings, whether it's enjoying a drink at the buzzy subterranean bar, grabbing a casual bite at one of the two onsite restaurants, or lounging by the rooftop pool. [TAKE ME THERE →]( [M SOCIAL]( New York, NY Smack dab in the center of Times Square, M Social is one of our favorite places to stay to soak up that undeniable Big Apple energy. Whether you’re here for a Broadway show or to see the city’s greatest hits (Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Statue of Liberty), the hotel’s location puts you in the middle of the action. High above the crowds, the space is made to be buzzy, with rooms that provide a private oasis to rest and re-energize after a long day. Some rooms overlook the Hudson River, and others provide an incredible vantage point for the ball drop on New Year’s Eve. The restaurant, Beast & Butterflies, puts the city on display, with a wrap around rooftop terrace and an indoor glass perch. [TAKE ME THERE →]( [The Maidstone]( East Hampton, NY If you’ve been looking for an excuse to go to The Hamptons, or at least a place to stay while you’re there, you’ve found it. Situated in an expansive Greek Revival home with more than 150 years of history, The Maidstone is an intimate boutique hotel that offers 19 uniquely designed rooms, each inspired by a Scandinavian luminary. Frette linens, Tivoli speakers, and air purifiers add modern, luxe touches to a classic New York summer destination. A house bar serving delicious cocktails draws a cool, sophisticated crowd. Plus, you’re walking distance to East Hampton village and a quick bike ride from the water, making this a truly ideal getaway to live your coastal fantasies.
