Hotels, spas, restaurants and cruise ships work extremely hard to earn their Forbes Travel Guide ratings. It’s only fitting that they would celebrate their remarkable honors with their guests. Some properties choose to do so in the form of amenity-filled overnight packages.
With the following posh promotions, guests will experience many of the same things that impressed Forbes Travel Guide’s inspectors during their incognito visits, from savoring a four-course dinner beside the Pacific Ocean to gazing at the Toronto skyline from an infinity pool. But while these deals are amazing, they are short-lived, so you’ll need to book quickly.
Rosewood Miramar Beach
The California escape has done the unbelievable for two straight years—achieve Five Stars for its hotel, Caruso’s restaurant and Sense Spa. See what distinguishes Rosewood Miramar Beach for yourself with its generous Triple Five-Star Experience package. Until March 21, enjoy a one-night stay in a luxurious Beach House Terrace King Room overlooking the Pacific Ocean, indulge in a therapeutic massage for two at Sense spa and share a romantic four-course meal of elevated Southern Italian cuisine at Caruso’s.
RiverView Ranch
Fittingly, the magic words to use when calling to unlock a 30% discount for a stay at this intimate, 24-guest ranch in Southwestern Montana are “Forbes Travel Guide.” This rustic, all-inclusive retreat celebrates its first Five-Star win by extending this offer to everyone to experience the property’s pristine 1,000 acres of Big Sky real estate and eight luxurious suites. After a long day of winter adventures (see: snowmobiling, ice skating and cross-country skiing), cozy up around the Lodge’s towering natural stone fireplace to share a nightcap around the roaring fire.
Meadowood Napa Valley
With Meadowood Napa Valley’s Forbes Five-Star Getaway package, you will bask in two nights in a serene room featuring a fireplace and a private terrace. You’ll also receive a $500 credit to be used at the Five-Star Meadowood Spa — there may not be a better time to try the 24-karat gold Aurum Radiance facial — in addition to a separate 60-minute Tree House Bath Experience, where you’ll melt away stress in a hand-hammered copper tub that’s customized to either a softening milk bath, detoxifying mustard bath, energizing sea salt bath or a tension-relieving CBD shea butter bath.
L’Escape Hotel Seoul
Celebrate this stylish, Parisian-inspired Seoul hotel’s Forbes Travel Guide Recommended honor with this celebratory promotion. Those who book any room through February will receive two tickets to the immersive Van Gogh Museum while all guests who stay through March 16 will get a beautifully scented Philosophy wash and body lotion set. Additionally, if you book a Secret or Atelier room, you’ll also enjoy happy hour for two at the hotel’s exclusive boutique lounge. Staying in the Atelier or Corner Suite affords even more package perks, such as flexible check-out and a flower bouquet.
The St. Regis Toronto
The Five-Star St. Regis Toronto shows off its stunning 13-room spa sanctuary with the 5-Star Spa Retreat deal. Spend the day at the 15,000-square-foot, two-floor oasis, soaking in the Art-Deco-inspired hot tub, admiring the view of the Toronto skyline from the infinity salt-water pool and sampling treatments such as the energizing Japanese reflex-inspired massage with the help of the package’s $140 ($200 Canadian dollars) spa credit.
Upon returning to your suite (which, as a part of the promotion, has been upgraded), luxuriate in the deep soaking tub with a complimentary bath amenity. This package alleviates another travel stressor — departure-day packing — by granting guests a 2 p.m. checkout time.
