Hotel · Ketchum
"Downtown’s casual, contemporary stay offers 99 bright rooms and suites plus 14 multi-bedroom condos; evenings tend to gather around The Lounge for wood-fired pizza and live music, while practical touches—an expanded breakfast buffet, coin-op laundry, a bike fleet, and a robust shuttle—make it easy for families and groups." - Sarah Kuta
Hotel · Ketchum
"A budget-friendlier downtown base that still feels polished, with loaner e-bikes and a heated outdoor pool and hot tub for après; it also houses FRX, a new fast-casual spot, alongside a ramen restaurant and a Japanese-inspired ice cream shop." - Sarah Kuta
Resort hotel · Glynn County
"Whether you’re staying in The Cloister or The Lodge, you can choose from a number of classes at Georgia’s Sea Island Resort, from your standard tennis and pickleball lessons to more distinct offerings like “The Falconer’s Apprentice,” where you’ll train with one of Sea Island’s master falconers (covering everything from the history of the ancient art to hunting techniques). There’s really unique programming for kids, too, whether that’s the Beginner’s Archery class, or “Turtle Technicians,” where little ones can join a naturalist to learn about the turtle species in the area." - Jessica Sulima
Hotel · Burlington
"In addition to partnering with nearby ski resorts to offer guests exclusive lessons—like the Bolton Backcountry 101 package—the Hotel Vermont is dedicated to highlighting local shops, like AO Glass, whose works of art are dotted across the hotel. Guests can head a few blocks down to the factory at Burlington’s South End Art District and work with one of AO’s glassblowers to create a vase, drinking glass, or bowl." - Jessica Sulima
Resort hotel · East Harwich
"Cape Cod’s famed Wequasset Resort partners with the Orvis Saltwater Fly Fishing School to host novice anglers who are looking to improve their skills at the elbow of Cape Cod—regarded as one of the best places to sight fish for striped bass in shallow waters. Take a one-hour, hands-on class on the art of casting, or embark on a day-long experience where you’ll learn all the basics, from choosing gear and tackle to landing and safely releasing fish. If fishing’s not your thing, the resort also offers guided meditations, mixology classes, and golf lessons." - Jessica Sulima
Bakery · Upper East Side
"Founded by one of the bakers behind Breads Bakery, this more low-key shop turns out pastries and baked goods that are every bit as delicious, with babka and rugelach as divine as anything in the Israeli shuks—moist, chocolatey, slightly greasy, and dense in the best way possible. Seasonal specials rotate year-round, including creative flavors like pistachio and hazelnut sufganiyot." - Emily Adler
Bagel shop · Lower East Side
"A pillar of the city’s Jewish roots, this Lower East Side original began in 1907 with a Polish immigrant selling schmaltz herring and grew into a haven for some of the country’s best lox, homemade bagels, and smoked-fish dips (it even made the list of New York’s best bagels). Head to the original “Appetizing” storefront on Houston Street, take a number, and order a Classic Bagel & Lox with The Works—tomato, onion, and capers." - Emily Adler
Kosher restaurant · East Village
"This Yiddish luncheonette has been around for more than 80 years, welcoming diners to its historic counter for bowls of comforting borscht, piping-hot latkes, and cheese blintzes. As a strictly kosher dairy restaurant, there’s no meat, and there are no frills either—you get exactly what you order and leave fully satiated. Make room for the veggie-filled tuna melt, share some fried pierogies and challah French toast for the table, or savor it all solo on a brisk morning at the counter." - Emily Adler
Hotel · Cheapside
"Few London hotels evoke festive cheer more than this spot, whose famous towering tree in the entrance hall draws me back year after year. Traditional interiors make it (quite literally) the season to shine, and for 2025 there’s a first-ever brand collaboration with decorations yet to be unveiled. The center stage hosts live musicians daily, creating a fun yet sophisticated atmosphere any night of the week—Mondays buzz as much as Thursdays and Fridays—while Carols with Gareth Malone brings a raucous crowd each December week, fueled by fizzing Soho Home champagne flutes and a feast at one of the ground-floor (or rooftop, if you’re staying overnight) restaurants. On Christmas Day, a lavish feast awaits both hotel and external guests, plus a visit from the man in red; an evening here never fails to get me in the spirit." - Sarah Leigh Bannerman
Hotel · Belgravia
"If Knightsbridge at Christmas is your vision—pairing a Harrods wander with museum-hopping—this is my top pick: a wonderfully spoiling Hyde Park stay where jovial, well-spoken doormen in bright-red tailcoats and black top hats usher you through grand double doors to opulent displays. The team pulls out all the stops for families (personalized keepsakes in cots, diaper bins in bathrooms, tiny towels neatly folded), and when I stayed in November the children were treated as if they’d been on the “nice list” all year, outshining anything we could conjure at home on the 25th. Expect seasonal pop-ups—last year an in-built Bavarian bar served piping hot mulled wine by reception—and a festive afternoon tea popular with day guests as well as overnighters; being in central London among gift-shoppers and the fizzing anticipation makes it feel special even close to home." - Sarah Leigh Bannerman
