January is usually when travel slows down, but one Edinburgh hotel is giving travelers a very good reason to book a winter escape. Prestonfield House has unveiled its Just for January offer, a limited-time dinner, bed, and breakfast package designed to make the quietest month of the year feel indulgent rather than dull.

Available from January 4 through January 30, 2026, the offer is priced at £345 (about $458 USD) per night and bundles together several of the hotel’s signature experiences. Guests stay in one of Prestonfield’s individually styled rooms or suites, each filled with dramatic design touches, antique furnishings, and views over parkland or the city beyond. A complimentary bottle of Prestonfield Champagne is waiting on arrival, setting the tone for a relaxed and celebratory stay.

A cozy winter escape just outside the city center

Dinner is a highlight of the package. Guests enjoy a three-course Table d’Hôte dinner for two at Rhubarb, Prestonfield’s acclaimed restaurant known for refined Scottish cooking served in richly decorated surroundings. The following morning begins with a full Scottish breakfast, perfect fuel for a day of exploring Edinburgh.

Set on 20 acres of private parkland at the foot of Arthur’s Seat, Prestonfield House feels worlds away from the city while still sitting just minutes from Edinburgh’s historic heart. January visitors can wander quieter streets, explore landmarks without the crowds, and return each evening to candlelit salons and five-star comfort.

Winter also brings out Prestonfield’s playful side. Peacocks roam the grounds, frost dusts the gardens, and the hotel’s theatrical interiors feel especially inviting on cold nights. Whether planned as a romantic getaway, a restorative city break, or simply a luxurious way to start the year, Prestonfield House’s January offer turns an often overlooked month into something genuinely special.

Savannah Beyond the Postcard

Take a look at one of the greatest southern cities from a different perspective.

Architecture, Building, Spire

Savannah is one of those cities that seems almost too easy to like. The live oaks are dramatic. The Spanish moss does exactly what it is supposed to do. The brick sidewalks buckle in all the right places. The houses look like they were designed by people who understood proportion, shade, and the value of a proper front step. Even the light seems to arrive with better manners than it does in most places.

I have a built-in advantage when it comes to Savannah. We have family there, so we have been back several times, not just once for the checklist version of the city. I have also done a photography workshop there, which is a terrific way to learn any city. You get up early, stay out late, and pay attention to alleys, doorways, ironwork, reflections, and the way a city changes when the tourists are still asleep.

I spent 72 hours in London with only a carry-on. Here’s how I did it in style

Luxury travel doesn't require a checked bag

London

Somewhere between the baggage claim carousel and the Elizabeth Line, I realized I'd already won. As passengers from my Norwegian flight to London crowded around the conveyor belt waiting for checked luggage to appear, I was already on my way into the city. Twenty minutes later, I was headed toward central London with nothing more than a carry-on suitcase and a backpack. I've become a bit of a carry-on evangelist over the past few years. Not because I'm trying to prove some minimalist point or because I enjoy seeing how few shirts I can survive with. I just genuinely think it's the better way to travel, especially for a long weekend in Europe.

My recent 72-hour trip from Copenhagen to London wasn't exactly a backpacker's itinerary. It included a stay at one of London's nicest luxury hotels, rooftop cocktails, dinners worth dressing up for, and plenty of walking through Soho, Covent Garden, and the rest of central London. Somehow, everything I needed fit inside my Travelpro Platinum Elite Slim Cabin Hardshell Spinner V2, with a backpack holding my flight essentials.

This New Montana Hotel Captures the Poetry of the Open Road

Helena's newest boutique hotel revives the spirit of the classic roadside motel.

Corner, Home Decor, Bed

In case you need another excuse for a Montana getaway this summer, a quirky new boutique hotel has opened in Helena, the Treasure State's capital. The Bell Hotel occupies the site of the former Bell Motel, a classic 1950s roadside lodge thoughtfully reimagined by CWG Architecture. Each of its 14 rooms features locally made chocolates, coffee, and artwork. While in town, ask the front desk about the Bell's Picnic in the Park package. The hotel supplies a basket of local treats and a blanket; Montana provides the sublime scenery and glorious weather. You're on your own for companionship.
