Are you Type Anna or Type Bel?

To mark International Wellness Month this August, Fishtown’s boutique Hotel Anna & Bel is introducing a new stay experience that lets guests tailor their getaway based on personality type. Inspired by both the hotel’s namesake and the viral social media craze around personality quizzes, the program offers two curated add-ons, Type Anna and Type Bel, designed to help travelers embrace self-care their way.

Type Anna caters to the planners who love structure and thoughtful details, while Type Bel is made for those who prefer spontaneity and movement. Guests can select which experience best reflects them when booking, making each stay feel personal.

Type Anna or Type Bel?

Hotel Anna & Bel’s new wellness experiences lean into two distinct travel personalities. For the planners, Type Anna comes stocked with thoughtful details to make every moment seamless. Guests receive a wellness-ready pool bag filled with essentials like sunscreen and a Le Labo Travel Set, plus a journal for mindful reflection. A $50 dining credit can be used at the hotel’s acclaimed venues, Bastia, a Corsican and Sardinian-inspired restaurant, or Caletta, its intimate cocktail lounge, both led by Chef-Partner Tyler Akin. And, of course, reservations are assumed to have been made weeks in advance.

For those who thrive on spontaneity, Type Bel is built with a go-bag designed for life on the move. It includes an energy bar, electrolyte pack, reusable water bottle, stain removal stick, and even a disposable film camera to capture memories as they happen. After the night’s adventures, guests can rest easy with a custom eye mask. To keep the surprises coming, Type Bel stays also include a drink token for Caletta or Bastia, where the bar team will serve up a mystery cocktail chosen on the spot.

Rates start at $347 per night.

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of walking up to a hotel front desk and hearing those magic words: You’ve been upgraded. It feels like winning the travel lottery, but for most of us, it rarely happens.

Fred Harrington, CEO of ProxyCoupons and a travel deal expert, says getting a free hotel upgrade isn’t about luck or elite status, it’s about timing and asking the right way.

London’s Twenty8 NoMad makes hotel dining feel cool again
This Hilton hotel restaurant might be London’s best-kept secret
Twenty8 Nomad

Hotel restaurants don’t exactly have the best rep. They’re often the place you end up, not the place you’re excited to go. Bland décor, overpriced Caesar salads, and a vibe that screams “conference break” more than “let’s make a night of it.” But every now and then, a hotel spot completely flips the script. Enter Twenty8 NoMad, the stylish restaurant tucked inside the equally chic NoMad London, a Hilton hotel nestled right across from the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.

I was in London on vacation when I decided to check it out, and let’s just say, I wasn’t prepared for how cool this place actually is. Located in the heart of the 91-room boutique hotel, Twenty8 NoMad brings a fresh, upscale twist to classic New York cuisine, served up in a space that feels more like a trendy Manhattan loft than your average hotel dining room.
