NH Hua Hin: A Luxury Family Friendly Escape Filled with Thoughtful Touches

Family friendly hotels often promise a lot but @nhhuahin genuinely delivered.

What stood out most wasn't just the beautiful rooms or the great location near the beach and night markets. It was the thoughtful details that made travelling with a little one feel effortless.

 Personalised family photo in our room
Children's robe and slippers on arrival
Fun kids menus and their own dining set
Incredible full-board dining with both traditional Thai and Western dishes
Cocktails that were just as impressive as the food

Every member of the family felt looked after, and after our busy city break, it was exactly the slower pace we needed.

Swipe through to see why this became one of our favourite family stays in Hua Hin. 

Have you stayed somewhere that made your children feel this special?

The Current Hotel, Autograph Collection: Where Tampa Bay Becomes the Art

There are waterfront hotels where the view is the main attraction. At The Current Hotel, Autograph Collection, the view is only part of the story.

On Rocky Point, overlooking Tampa Bay, the hotel brings together contemporary design, an unusually serious art program, two distinct restaurants, and a setting that makes it very easy to lose track of time. The water is visible from the rooms, the restaurants, the pool, the fitness center, and the outdoor spaces. Even the public areas feel designed to draw your eye toward the changing landscape outside.

Part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, The Current is also a hotel with a point of view. Its interiors were designed by L2 Studios, drawing inspiration from Tampa Bay's evolving landscape and emerging fine arts scene. The owners' private collection appears throughout the property alongside rotating exhibitions by local artists.

The result is a hotel that feels less like a collection of rooms and more like a contemporary gallery with somewhere very comfortable to sleep.

Borgobrufa Spa Resort: An Adults-Only Escape in the Heart of Umbria

Some Italian hotels are about sightseeing. Borgobrufa Spa Resort is about staying put.

Set in the hills above Torgiano, in the Umbrian countryside between Perugia and Assisi, the resort occupies a 40,000-square-meter estate surrounded by vineyards, rolling green hills, and long views across the landscape. It is an adults-only property, and everything about it is designed around slowing down.

There is no need to fill every hour here.

You can spend the morning in the spa, have lunch overlooking the hills, swim in a heated pool, disappear into a private suite, and watch the Umbrian light change across the vineyards in the afternoon. The pleasure comes from having nowhere else you need to be.

Relais Villa Corallo: The Abruzzo Escape That Feels Like a Private World

There are hotels where you arrive, check in, and immediately start thinking about what to do next.

Relais Villa Corallo is different.

Drive through the security gates and follow the long, flower-lined approach, and the outside world begins to feel surprisingly far away. The villa appears at the end of the drive, surrounded by gardens, farmland, fountains, and the quiet landscape of Sant’Omero in Abruzzo. It is the kind of arrival that sets the tone before anyone has even opened the car door.

And in July 2026, Villa Corallo added an important new chapter to its story: it officially joined Relais & Châteaux, becoming the first property in Abruzzo to enter the association.

The recognition feels fitting. With only eleven rooms and suites, a Michelin-starred restaurant, its own agricultural estate, spa, pools, and a family deeply involved in the day-to-day experience, Villa Corallo feels less like a conventional hotel and more like a beautifully cared-for private estate where guests happen to be invited to stay.i

Hotel Zamora: Mediterranean Style, Rooftop Sunsets, and a Different Side of St. Pete Beach

St. Pete Beach is full of resorts that promise the same thing: a room near the water and easy access to the sand. Hotel Zamora takes a different approach.

This boutique waterfront hotel brings a distinctly European feel to Florida's Gulf Coast. White stucco walls, arched architectural details, a private marina, and sweeping water views create an atmosphere that feels more like a Mediterranean escape than a typical beach hotel. The property sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, while the Gulf and its wide stretch of sand are just across the street.

For travelers who want more than a place to sleep, that combination is hard to ignore.

Lesante Collection: Discovering the Soul of Zakynthos Through Luxury and Authentic Hospitality

Some destinations captivate you with their scenery. Others stay with you because of the people you meet and the experiences you share. Zakynthos effortlessly offers both. While the island is internationally recognized for its turquoise coastline and dramatic cliffs, it also reveals a more authentic side through its villages, traditions and warm hospitality.

During my stay, I experienced two remarkable properties within the Lesante Collection: Lesante Blu, an elegant adults-only retreat overlooking the Ionian Sea, and Lesante Cape, a resort inspired by the architecture and culture of a traditional Zakynthian village. Although each hotel has its own identity, both share the same philosophy of refined luxury, genuine hospitality and a deep connection to the island. Lesante has built its reputation around personalized service and authentic experiences, something that became clear from the very first day.

The Modern Honolulu, a beautiful luxury escape in the heart of Waikiki

The Modern Honolulu, a Hilton Vacation Club, is a beautiful luxury escape in the heart of Waikiki 🩵@hiltongrandvacations

The soft white tones and natural material of the modern chic interior and exterior combine beautifully with the tropical plants and palm trees, the delicate white and lilac flowers, the turquoise water of the swimming pool and the sparkling blue Pacific Ocean. In my turquoise bikini, I’m sitting on one of the comfy daybeds next to the lazy pool, looking around in this little piece of paradise and I’m feeling all the butterflies. A soft ocean breeze, the turquoise ocean, the sun shimmering through the tropical leaves... Nani kēia lā, are lovely words from the Hawaiian language that may describe these sweet moments of daily luxury, this day is beautiful.

The Heathman Hotel : A Portland Landmark Where Literature, Music and History Meet

The Heathman occupies a prime spot on SW Broadway, directly beside the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall and just a short walk from Pioneer Courthouse Square, the Portland Art Museum, and the city's acclaimed theater district.

You can spend the morning browsing the galleries at the museum, enjoy lunch at one of downtown's independent cafés, wander through Powell's City of Books, and finish the evening with a Broadway performance next door before walking back to the hotel in minutes.

Portland's streetcar and MAX Light Rail stations are also nearby, making it easy to explore neighborhoods like the Pearl District, Alberta Arts District, Mississippi Avenue, and the Central Eastside.

It's one of those locations where you rarely feel the need to drive.
