Planning a luxe getaway to Paris? Add Hôtel de Sers to your list. This May, the five-star hotel in the city’s famed Triangle d’Or district, just steps from the Champs-Élysées, unveils a full redesign led by French architect Pascal Allaman.

Once the private residence of Marquis Henri de Sers, the 1880 Haussmannian building has been transformed into a modern-day marquis’s dream home. The new look combines classic Parisian charm with sleek, contemporary touches.

Guests can expect panoramic city views, serene terraces with sculptural greenery, rich fabrics from Dedar and Pierre Frey, and curated art, including a bold portrait series by Véronique Tatu inspired by the Marquis and the women shaping the hotel’s next chapter.

Luxury in the heart of Paris

Part of the prestigious B. Signature Hotels & Resorts group since 2004, Hôtel de Sers now offers a refined experience in the heart of Paris. With 45 rooms and 7 suites, the hotel is spacious yet intimate. 

The design, led by renowned architect Pascal Allaman, is influenced by the opulent decorative arts of the 1930s and 40s. This is reflected in the oak paneling, surrealist-inspired Dedar Jacquard fabrics covering closets, custom Silvera furnishings, and the glamorous bathrooms featuring Italian brassware and Turkish marble. 

Guests can enjoy world-class dining at the hotel’s bar and restaurant, complete with a charming patio for al fresco dining. The hotel also boasts a luxurious 5-star spa, offering indulgent treatments like massages and facials to help you unwind. Additional services include personalized concierge assistance, a state-of-the-art sport and wellness room, and thoughtful family-friendly amenities such as cribs, treats, and connecting rooms, ensuring that every guest feels well-cared-for throughout their stay.

This growing sport is way more exciting than NASCAR: VIP PBR Rattler Days Experience
Rider representing the Austin Gamblers riding a bull at PBR Rattler Days Event 2026

The thing I love about NASCAR is the intensity, and the way the whole team relies on each other to be perfect down to the millisecond. I did not expect bull-riding to make that feel slow. After a visit to Winnebago and the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Rattler Days event in Fort Worth, I have to say, bull riding is more exciting (and even more dangerous) than the high-speed races at NASCAR. I can’t thank Can-Am enough for inviting me out for a spectacular couple of days to experience it all for the very first time.

During my stay in the Fort Worth area, Can-Am connected me with the “World’s Greatest Cowboy” Dale Brisby. It’s partly because of him and his social media presence that bull riding has grown as much as it has, becoming its own sport apart from the rodeo scene. With shows like Yellowstone and Brisby’s Netflix special, How to Be a Cowboy gaining popularity, the call to experience Western culture has exploded. Here’s a first-timer’s impression of it all.

Forget the summer crowds: Why Ocean Casino Resort is Atlantic City’s best off-season escape
Ocean Casino Resort

Ocean Casino Resort is often seen as a summer destination, complete with the Atlantic City boardwalk experience. But if I learned one thing growing up in South Jersey, it’s that Atlantic City doesn’t just shut down after Labor Day. In fact, locals and tri-state residents know AC is sometimes even more enjoyable after the summer crowds die down and school is back in session. Plus, a little getaway to Atlantic City is one of the few things that make it possible to get through those super boring, cold fall and winter months.

Although I’ve stayed at Ocean Casino Resort several different times, I love that every trip is truly unique. With so many different dining and entertainment options all without leaving the resort, I’ve never repeated the same experience more than once. If you’re looking for a fall getaway, you don’t need beach weather to make a weekend trip worthwhile. In fact, some of Ocean’s best experiences have nothing to do with the beach. From big-name entertainment and destination-worthy dining to spa treatments and indoor activities, there’s plenty to build an entire off-season weekend around. Here are some of my favorite on-site things to add to your next getaway.
