Disconnect, Decompress & Discover

Jet off to destinations where you can relax and unwind – or head a few miles away for exciting attractions.
Sometimes you want a vacation where you can leave behind the commotion of day-to-day life, and other times you want to explore all that a new city has to see – but why not have the best of both worlds? From incredible hotels in Killarney, Ireland to Santa Fe, New Mexico and Paris, France, here are accommodations that allow you to choose what kind of trip you want to enjoy, even after you’ve already checked in.
Killarney, Ireland
Located on the banks of the peaceful Lough Leane, The Europe Hotel & Resort in Killarney, Ireland is a fantastic spot to disconnect and take a bit of time for yourself. Right off the bat, the setting – filled with lakes, mountains, gardens, and national parks – will get you out of the hustle-and-bustle mindset. From there, serene infinity pools, locally-sourced dining options, indulgent spa treatments, and complimentary horseback riding lessons await on-site.
Though staying on tranquil The Europe Hotel & Resort property is a great option, you can also easily head into downtown Killarney for some city fun. History buffs will love a visit to the 17th century St. Mary’s Cathedral, foodies are practically guaranteed to enjoy a traditional Irish meal at Bricín, and alcohol aficionados will have a blast at the Irish Whiskey Experience Killarney.

Santa Fe, New Mexico
Take things slow at Santa Fe’s Four Seasons Resort Ranch Encantado. Wake up to the sunrise in your premium casita, equipped with a crackling fireplace and/or a private balcony. Then, spend your days relaxing in whatever way you’d like best – from getting pampered with a sacred stone massage at the on-site spa, lounging by the sparkling pool, joining a morning yoga class, or going on a nearby ridge hike in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
And if you’re looking to into the city, downtown Santa Fe is just ten minutes away! You can pop into the art galleries on Canyon Road, explore the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, and enjoy the weekend farmers market at the historic Santa Fe Railyard.

Issy-les-Moulineaux, France
Situated just outside of the bounds of Paris, Domaine Reine Margot Paris Issy – MGallery Collection in Issy-les-Moulineaux is a treat. On one hand, it’s just a tram or metro ride from all of Paris’ best sites, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, the Champs Elysée, and the Arc de Triomphe. On the other, it’s just far enough outside of the city for a peaceful getaway.
Start your day with a morning stroll through the on-site French garden before heading to the spa for some much-needed pampering. There, treat yourself to a refreshing swim, a tension-relieving massage, or a detoxifying hammam visit. By then, a healthful, yet tasty meal from Le Maguerite 1606 is in order – their ever-revolving menu of seasonal dishes are sure to please. Wrap up your night with a visit to Le Monastic, a speakeasy hidden on the onsite desacralized chapel, for a one-of-a-kind rum tasting experience.
