Hotel Anna & 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.

The Great Montana Road Trip: Exploring what the West has to offer outside the city

Photography, Nature, Outdoors

Reading Travels with Charley, John Steinbeck’s delightful memoir about discovering America in an RV with his dog, inspired me to road-trip through Montana. Even as a world-weary old man, the great American novelist gushed about Montana like a moonstruck teenager. He was enchanted by its vastness—its mountains, oceanic plains, and pristine forests—as much as by its salt-of-the-earth people. “For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection,” he wrote. “But with Montana, it is love.”

Worn out after a tough winter in New York City, I pulled the trigger on a Montana highway odyssey this past March. Early spring seemed like a sensible time to go—I’d skip both the arctic chill of winter and the crowds of summer. I set aside eight days for a loop from Bozeman to Glacier and back down, intent on taking my time along highways hailed as among the most beautiful in America, with plenty of lingering in small towns and national parks.

Waldorf Astoria New York Is Transforming Its Ballroom Into a Tennis Court — For 1 Night Only

Handrail, Ballroom, Indoors

The Waldorf Astoria New York opened in 1931. It oozes New York City elegance. Since its inception, the historic property’s been a crown jewel in Hilton’s portfolio. So much so, it was Hilton founder Conrad Hilton himself who declared the Waldorf Astoria “The Greatest of Them All.”

It’s no wonder why Waldorf Astoria New York is part of the festivities for the upcoming 146th edition of the U.S. Open. And the legendary property is doing so in a very legendary way. For one night only, Waldorf Astoria New York is transforming its iconic ballroom into a full-size tennis court. That’s right: Tennis beneath the chandeliers. The dance floor will make way for the baseline for one of the most unexpected tennis venues ever.

Stockholm: Copenhagen’s Bigger, Bluer Cousin

Architecture, Building, Spire

Copenhagen and Stockholm are often paired on Scandinavian itineraries, which makes complete sense. Both are handsome waterfront capitals packed with boats, bicycles, top-tier public transport, serious museums, and a population that seems constitutionally incapable of designing an ugly chair.

But they aren’t interchangeable.
