Tropical island escapes and other waterfront getaways usually dominate our annual round-up of @ForbesTravelGuide’s most popular hotel Instagram posts. But in 2024, an urban hot spot topped the list.
Andrea Vetrano, whose Instagram handle is @andreavetrano, captured a mesmerizing video of a nighttime swim at Equinox Hotel New York. Surrounded by glowing skyscrapers, the outdoor pool sits in the shadow of Hudson Yards’ Vessel, an architectural marvel that resembles a larger-than-life bronze beehive.
“Equinox Hotel New York inspired me with its seamless blend of luxury, wellness and urban energy — it’s a true sanctuary in the heart of the city, and I loved showcasing that balance in my content,” says Catania, Sicily-based Vetrano, who has been a luxury content creator for 10 years. “I’m passionate about capturing the essence of places, telling their stories through my lens, and inspiring others to connect with unique destinations.”
