Five-Star The Jefferson Hotel has partnered with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to present “Rodin: Evolution of a Genius,” beginning November 21.

When you take advantage of The Rodin Package, you’ll get a grand premier room, a traditional Southern breakfast for two and two tickets to the exhibit.
Kohler, Wisconsin
From November 13 through 14, Kohler will welcome six comedians, including Tommy Ryman from Last Comic Standing, for Kohler Comedy Weekend. In all seriousness, we suggest booking a Destination Kohler event package, which includes a stay at Five-Star The American Club or Inn on Woodlake, one early-entrance ticket per package to the show, cocktail seating with tableside service and a complimentary drink. Book it for two nights and you’ll also get an invite to an exclusive comedy Q&A with the performers.
Las Vegas

When you’re not noshing on some of the islands’ finest foods or mingling with featured attendees like Top Chef judge Gail Simmons or chef Justin Quek of Sky on 57 at Four-Star Marina Bay Sands, turn down at the 82-suite Grace Bay Club, where amenities, attentive service and a dreamy ambience are always on the menu.
