Let’s dive into the realm of travel, shall we? Recently I was pondering, as I often tend do, where I would like to travel next. It's always a game of planning, and no matter how many places I go, the list never gets shorter. It's too busy getting longer!




Of course, I’m daydreaming about my next trip during work hours, and before I realize I’m doing it, I conveniently stumble across this tantalizing list of 20 Amazing Hotels. But these aren’t just any 20 Amazing Hotels.. these are the 20 Amazing Hotels that I need to visit before I die. No one bothered to mention this to me, did you guys know?! I haven't been to any of them!


In order to assure myself I’d meet the requirements for dying, I came up with my own list. I’m not particularly well traveled, but you wouldn't know it looking at this beaut!


15 Semi-Amazing Hotels You Don’t Necessarily Need To Visit Before You Die

1. Lloyd Hotel, Amsterdam




A former Luxury Emigrant Hotel turned into Prison and eventually Art Studios, the now Lloyd hotel is rich in history and clean, modern lines. Unique Aspect: A trading post located in the dining room offers the chance to take an object a traveler has left behind if you leave an object of your own in its place.


2. Intercontinental, Boston




This hotel, located directly in the heart of Boston, has a pretty snazzy set up complete with a great fitness center and amazing views of the Harbor. Unique Aspect: This is pretty subjective to my personal visit, but the server from Nepal at the outdoor dining area was really cool. The sun shining into my eyes was not.


3. Montage Deer Valley, Park City, Utah




If the stunning trip up the winding driveway surrounded by twinkling Christmas trees isn’t enough to intrigue you, the interior decor will. The Montage also boasts the title of America’s No. 1 ski resort. But beware- no snowboarders are allowed at this mountain! Unique Aspect: An interior Bowling alley is located within the Resort.


4. Clarin Hotel, Rome




Nestled into the winding cobblestone streets of Rome, you won’t find this place easily at night- but the Charm of the old fashion cage elevator and complimentary espressos offered each morning is worth it. Unique Aspect: To avoid losing your room keys on your day of site seeing, you are required to leave them with the front desk each time you depart, and pick them up when you return.


5. The Sebastian, Vail, Colorado




It’s another destination winter resort- and it’s just as beautiful and luxurious as the others. The interior and exterior design of this resort is breathtaking, just like the view. Unique Aspect: The Sebastian Base Camp is located at the foot of Vail Mountain and has a new Gondola for a great ski-in ski-out experience.


6. Half Moon, Jamaica




I can’t stress enough to you how vast and absolutely gorgeous this 400-acre resort truly is, and the images online hardly do it justice. Birds sing to you from the lush tropical vegetation as you shower, reggae bands play traditional Bob Marley songs while you dine at the daily tea hour, and bike rentals are available to allow free range of the entire grounds. Unique Aspect: A life size chess board is located within the resort complete with giant chess pieces!


7. Hotel Madeline, Telluride, Colorado




Previously known as The Capella, Hotel Madeline is situated in the breathtaking valley of a movie-esque mountain town. Unique Aspect: An outdoor ice skating rink with fire pits welcomes you after a long day of skiing (or spa-ing!)


8. Hudson, New York City




This is a really modern and chic hotel. The street elevation is highly contrasted against the neighboring buildings with it’s lime green escalator providing access to the main lobby, which, by the way, is like a dark, exotically sophisticated, indoor jungle. Unique Aspect: Tequila Park, an interesting and eye catching outdoor bar and taco joint.


9. Hotel Le Concorde, Quebec, Canada




Quebec City- A true fairy tale location! Cobble stone streets, snow flurries, and right across the street you’ll find Chez Dagobert- a huge club with solid ice bars and vast dance floors. Unique Aspect: L’Astral, the Hotels signature restaurant, is located at the top floor of the Hotel. Not unique, you say? It revolves, offering continuously changing 360-degree views of Quebec City.


10. Revel, Atlantic City, NJ (UPDATE- sadly Revel is closed)




This place is STUNNING. Everywhere you walk is beautiful, new, clean, spectacular. The rooftop deck is a bit windy (maybe don’t go out there if you weight less than 100-lbs) and the casino and restaurants are a bit empty/pricey, but it’s eye-catching floor to ceiling room windows and indoor/outdoor pool give it an extra boost of awesome. Unique Aspect: The Royal Jelly Burlesque Nightclub offers a innovative approach to your typical strip club.



11. Turtle Bay Resort, Oahu, HI




Located at the North Shore of Oahu, this luxury resort offers all the expected pleasures of a vacation to Hawai’i, right down to sea turtles visiting the waters. Unique Aspect: This was the hotel film location for the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008).


12. Holiday Inn Montparnasse, Paris




With a convenient location in the most romantic city in the world, the Holiday Inn Montparnasse provides great views (if you’re above the trees) and easy access to the metro. Unique Aspect: The Lobby has a small bar and clean decor. Grab a drink before you head to the Eiffel Tower.


13. Place Saint-Bernard’s, Tremblant, Canada




Ah, Tremblant. A city of mountain town flavor with a french twist. Great bars and nightclubs are within short walking distances of the colorful buildings that you’ll stay in. Typical rooms come with a complete kitchen and dining area for longer stays. Unique Aspect: Straight Up? Mont-Tremblant is a mountain you absolutely need to experience.


14. Intercontinental, Frankfurt, Germany




This hotel caters to business travelers and boats a lounge with free food and drinks and a cafe-style eating experience overlooking the city skyline. Unique Aspect: Rooms come with a fridge stocked full of drinks from water to German apple wine.


15. Beau Rivage, Bandol, France




It’s a little outdated, but the old fashion decor brings out the essence of the traditional French Riviera town and the view of the port is simply unbeatable. Unique Aspect: You’ll need to give the owners fair warning if your coming before their waking hours- there is a gate they need to walk down and personally swing open for you to park your car.
