Bangkok, Thailand There are hotels in Bangkok, and then thereâs The Standard Bangkok, a hotel that sets itself apart from the pack with a distinctly modern, eclectic, and above all, cool point of view thatâs imbued throughout the hotelâfrom the building it calls home, Thailandâs second-tallest skyscraper, to the stunning guest rooms, and even the onsite dining and amenities. Housed across ten floors of King Power Mahanakhon, the buildingâs pixelated-looking exterior sets the stage for the top-notch design you can expect throughout your stay. From the second you step foot in the hotel, prepare to be awed. The lobby wows with highly saturated colors and unique woven chandeliers, a mix of natural accents, and clean, almost retro-modern touches that are a theme throughout the property. Rooms feature bright pops of yellows and blue alongside wood accents, juxtaposed by clean white walls. A nearly complete absence of square corners or sharp edges makes you feel as if youâve stepped onto a retro-futuristic spaceship, and with stunning views of the city from above, you very well could feel like you're flying. The onsite bars and restaurants are also each uniquely stunning in terms of design, with a visit being as much a visual treat as it is a culinary one. [Take Me There]( Library Hotel
New York, NY This New York destination is equal parts library and boutique hotel, perfect for avid readers, literary buffs, or simply those looking for a unique stay in the Big Apple. Though you may be tempted to spend your days curled up with one of the curated titles in your room, with a central location on Madison Avenue and 41st Street, the sights of New York are right outside your door. Stop by Grand Central Station, just a block away, to marvel at the iconic celestial mural in the main hall, or head to Bryant Park and grab a coffee and a seat to enjoy a quiet moment amidst the bustle of Midtown. With 13 different subway lines within blocks of the hotel, itâs easy to get just about anywhere in the city, but with destinations like the Rockefeller Center and Times Square only a 15-minute walk away, thereâs plenty to entertain in the immediate vicinity as well. Book lovers will delight in knowing that two New York Public Libraries are only a block away: the iconic Stephen A. Schwarzman Building with the beautiful Rose Main Reading Room, and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, which has a rooftop terrace overlooking 5th Avenue. While the library may close, the Library Hotel does not. End your day with a drink at the open-late rooftop Bookmarks Lounge, perfect for relaxing and enjoying iconic city views, or read until the wee hours of the morning at the cozy 24-hour Reading Room. [Take Me There]( The Don CeSar
Saint Pete Beach, FL For an unforgettable trip to Floridaâs Gulf Coast, thereâs no better choice than the pink palace itself, The Don CeSar. From a stretch of private beach to a full-service spa, water sports rentals, and two heated pools, thereâs no shortage of ways to fill your days in the sun here, and with all that activity, youâre certainly going to need to refuel. The hotelâs six onsite restaurants and lounges ensure youâre bound to find something that hits the spot. Start your day off with a casual bite at Society Table, a laid-back restaurant serving up comfort food and local flavors all day, or snag a breakfast bagel and a cup of joe at Uncle Andyâs Market. If youâre set on spending all day at the pool, thereâs no need to break for lunchâBeacon Pool Bar & Lookout dishes out poolside provisions from ceviche to cocktails. For a delicious dinner to round out the day, pull up a chair at Maritana Grille, an upscale dining experience where sustainably sourced local flavors take center stage. Kick back with a beer overlooking the Gulf Coast on The Rowe Barâs pavilion, or capture some 1920s class with a cocktail and live jazz at The Lobby Bar. [Take Me There]( Moxy Boston
Boston, MA For a trip to Boston that combines fun, comfort, and great access to some of the cityâs best sights, thereâs no better place to book than Moxy Boston. The hotel is located in the Theater District on Tremont Street placing you only steps away from some of the biggest and grandest theaters in the city, like The Wilbur and Wang Theatre. If youâre looking for something off-stage, no worries, thereâs something for everyone nearby. Sports fans will love the proximity to Fenway Park, a mere 10-minute ride away, and those looking for a serene stay will love taking a stroll through Boston Common and visiting nearby art galleries while history buffs will love the Freedom Trail. With Chinatown nearby, there are plenty of shops and restaurants to sample, but even with all the good in the neighborhood, some of the most fun can be found at Bar Moxy, the hotelâs onsite bar with weeknight specials and live DJs on the weekends.
