5 Hotels That Offer a Taste of the VIP Life
The Marylebone London, United Kingdom
Tucked away in charming Marylebone Village, this hotel offers guests the chance to live like a posh local in one of London’s trendiest neighborhoods. Spend the day browsing the world-famous Oxford Street shops or take a day trip to Bicester Village for a VIP shopping experience, complete with a chauffeur-driven ride to and from the hotel. If you’re visiting over the weekend, stroll through charming cobble-stoned streets and lush green gardens as you uncover the galleries, chic boutiques, and artisan eateries the neighborhood is known for on a 48-hour tour with London-bred food writer and creator, Milly Kenny-Ryder. Don’t miss Sunday roasts at the chic 108 Brasserie overlooking the quaint cobblestone streets of Marylebone Lane, complete with bottomless Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes. After dinner, unwind with a drink at The Cocktail Bar. With a cozy atmosphere, a signature cocktail for every season, and a beautiful fireplace, a drink at the bar is the perfect way to cap off your day in London.
A stay at the Viceroy Santa Monica puts you in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in all of LA, where the famed streets of Ocean Avenue and Pico Boulevard meet. This beloved SoCal haven features bright colors and fun accents throughout, bringing the beachy good vibes of the Golden State right into your room. The hotel features two onsite pools complete with covered cabanas, and for those hoping to dip their toes in the sand, Santa Monica State Beach is less than five minutes away. A bit further down the beach is the iconic Santa Monica pier, known for its amusement park, classic boardwalk shops, and lively street performances. If you’re looking for a place to grab dinner away from the hubbub, walk down the palm-tree-lined Third Street Promenade for a wide array of restaurant options before returning to the hotel for a glass of California red at Sugar Palm’s buzzing indoor/outdoor bar.
At NoMo SoHo, short for nostalgic and modern, the aesthetic is just that—blending vintage and contemporary art and design that nod at what has made SoHo the cultural hub it is today. From the moment you step in through the fairy light-adorned walkway on Crosby Street, the lobby’s striking chandelier and lush, vertical garden set the tone for a visually inspiring stay. Guest rooms come in a variety of sizes with blue and white accents and spotlight their own kind of eye candy—many of them feature floor-to-ceiling windows that frame breathtaking city views. NoMo Kitchen, set in a vibrant greenhouse, and the adjacent Rose Garden, fringed with pink roses and lush greenery and just off the street, offer appealing settings for dining and gathering among the excellent options in the neighborhood.
Sundance Mountain Resort, envisioned by Robert Redford in 1969, is a sanctuary where art, nature, and community converge. Nestled in the mountains, this resort embodies a rich cultural heritage and offers an immersive experience in the great outdoors. Emphasizing a balance between upscale resort comforts and the preservation of natural beauty, Sundance is simultaneously a restful getaway, with luxurious cabin-style accommodations, and a wealth of adventure, with exhilarating outdoor experiences for guests to enjoy. Choose how you adventure with mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, and even zip tours through the mountains. Those looking to explore the wild at a slightly slower pace will enjoy scenic lift rides, tranquil mountaintop yoga, and fly fishing in nearby Provo River. Want to experience the great outdoors in the ultimate relaxation? Stop by The Springs, a newly-opened outdoor area with two hot tubs and a relaxation spa, ideal for relaxing and soaking up incredible views of Mt Timpanogos.
Cutting an impressive silhouette into the Bangkok skyline is the King Power Mahanakhon Tower, home to The Standard’s Asia flagship hotel.

Head out and explore the vibrant streets of Bangkok, or stay in and look out over the city from your perch by the pool. Sip on an All Day Frosé at the poolside bar or head to Bangkok’s highest rooftop bar, Sky Beach, for some drinks and light bites with panoramic city views. Extend your stay to three nights or more and get up to 20% off the best available rate, plus perks like free breakfast, personal concierge, and savings at on-site venues.
