So, you’ve been sitting on that couch, remote in hand, scrolling through the channels, and you catch a glimpse of a travel show. Azure beaches, bustling cities, charming villages…and you sigh. You’ve been yearning for a trip, haven’t you? Well, friend, it’s high time you traded that couch for a beautiful hotel room, your TV for a window overlooking the world.
But where to go? And with whom? We all have multiple roles in life – friend, child, parent, partner, and sometimes we just want to step back and be alone. The good news is that we have suggestions for our top three trips — a getaway with your best friends, a romantic celebration with your partner and a solo trip where you can relax and re-energize, and maybe make some new friends along the way. All you have to do is pack your suitcase!
Girls Getaway
There’s nothing like having quality time with your best girlfriends in a city filled with beautiful sites, fun activities, and locals that can give you the rundown of where to go. Hotel Indigo promises character and comfort while highlighting the different spirit of each neighborhood. A few great Hotel Indigo locations for your getaway with your besties include the Galapagos on San Cristóbal Island, Lanarca, which has an adults-only hotel with a rooftop pool, and Florence, which is near the Duomo and Uffizi.
When traveling internationally, especially when it’s you and the girls, there’s probably going to be a little shopping. The credit card that is in your wallet is important. The IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card offers up to 26x total points at IHG® Hotels & Resorts, 5x points on travel, gas stations, and dining, and 3x points for every dollar spent on all other purchases.
Solo Adventure
Traveling alone can be a transformational experience. How could it not be when you take the chance to step out of your comfort zone and explore the world? From the freedom to plan your itinerary to the possibility of self-discovery, solo travel allows you to engage with the world on your terms, discover new places and if you are so inclined, make new friends.
Voco, which has locations in Belgium, France, Germany, Austria, Mexico, and Asia Pacific, to name a few, is the ultimate solo travel destination hotel. For example, voco Guadalajara Neruda, nestled in the financial district within walking distance to boutiques and fine dining, offers easy access to explore the rich cultural tapestry of Jalisco, the Land of Tequila and Mariachi, making it a safe and fun destination. Or consider voco Madrid, which is just a stone’s throw from the beautiful Retiro Park.
To make your solo travels even more relaxing, consider getting Global Entry, TSA PreCheck® or NEXUS to speed your way through airport lines. With the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card, you’ll get a statement credit of up to $100 every four years as reimbursement for the application fee when charged to your card.
Anniversary Celebration
IMO, the best way to celebrate an anniversary — whether it’s one year or 15 — is to soak up some sun with the one you love. Where better to do that than at the InterContinental® Bora Bora Le Moana Resort. Spend your stay exploring world-class dive sites, jumping straight off your private pontoon into azure waters for a swim, or beachcombing along stunning Matira Beach. Another great option to treat your partner is Kimpton Aysla Mallorca, an oceanside oasis that has hidden coves with charming stone villages.
There’s never enough time when you’re on holiday with the one you love, and the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card offers two rewards that let you take more time on your romantic holiday without spending more money on your hotel.
The anniversary night is earned each account anniversary year with a current point redemption cap of 40,000 points. What better way to celebrate your anniversary than with your anniversary night! You can also redeem points for a consecutive four-night IHG hotel stay (with the fourth reward night free).
These are just a few of the many destinations IHG® Hotels and Resorts offer to satisfy your yen to travel, for whatever reason. To book your next dream trip and earn points and rewards while doing it, visit here to sign up for the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card.
