A weekend wine tasting in Napa Valley

couple’s massage.
A small town escape in Savannah
Bed and Breakfast
One of the most charming places in America, Savannah is a small town with a dash of big city sophistication. Stay at the Ballastone Inn—a bed and breakfast in a quaint 1838 townhouse. Pick up pastries and coffee at
The Collins Quarter café, and take an antebellum architecture tour. Then, stroll through the famously beautiful Bonaventure Cemetery.
A foodie break in Chicago
With a food scene that has grown sophisticated enough to compete with New York, San Francisco, and L.A., foodies should book a trip to Chicago to brush up on the Midwestern city’s culinary offerings. Stay at the trendy Soho House (the food there is always inventive, local, and flavorful), and make sure to check out the buzzy new Mexican restaurant Lonesome Rose and the new restaurant at the Museum of Contemporary Art—Marisol.

A spiritual recharge in Santa Fe
Building
Santa Fe is a deeply calming and spiritual place to head to with your significant other. Stay at the Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi on the 16th-century town square, which is made out of adobe clay and trimmed in turquoise. Block out a day for a trip to the legendary
Ten Thousand Waves spa. After a few hours up in the mountains at the spa, your spirit is bound to feel brand new.
A trip through history in Boston
Hotel
Boston is one of the most historic cities in America but is small enough that a weekend can afford the time to see many of the city’s most important attractions.

Have a nightcap at the hotel bar—the aptly named Clink.
