A new breed of hostels (aka “poshtels”) offering private rooms, designer furniture, stylish communal areas and central locations (Mariah Carey even stayed at one as part of an ad campaign) are taking over. Meet a community of like-minded travelers—without having to sleep five feet from them. But don’t just take Mimi’s word for it. Below, you’ll find the world’s most innovative (and, yes, posh) new hostels, which may inspire a vision of love you previously thought was only possible when booking five-star accommodations. RELATED: 8 awesome hotels for travelers over 35 Code Hostel Ediburgh CODE: Edinburgh, UK Head to CODE Hostel Edinburgh and discover what is perhaps the world’s only penthouse under $200. That’s not the only appeal of this chic UK hostel. Boasting a location in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town near Waverley Railway Station, this upscale budget lodging offers views of famous landmarks like Edinburgh Castle, and can even organize excursions into the Scottish Highlands. Fieldhouse Jones FieldHouse Jones: Chicago, IL If the posh rooms and common areas at FieldHouse Jones don’t win you over, the dining and drinking options will. Wash down diner-style comfort food with an artisanal cup of joe or Japanese matcha green tea at DropShot Coffee & Snack Bar. Think bespoke communal areas, guestrooms reminiscent of the Ace and a location close to primo attractions like the Mag Mile. Florentin House Florentin House: Tel Aviv, Israel Think you need to have a huge budget to enjoy a nice stay in upmarket Tel Aviv? Think again! Florentin House Tel Aviv shares many of the design flourishes you find in boutique and luxury hotels along the city’s famous Rothschild Boulevard, but at a fraction of the price. Location-wise, Florentin House is not only close to Tel Aviv’s Mediterranean coastline, but to the celebrated seaport of Jaffa. Hostal French Andes Hostal French Andes: Chile Chile’s Lake District, which sits between the Santiago capital region and Patagonia, is generally not a place you’d think to visit on a budget. Hostal French Andes, however, which has gained a reputation as one of the best hostels in South America, has changed the calculus in this part of the world. Located in the town of Pucon, it not only offers on-site dining and several different room types, but boasts a knowledgeable desk staff who can arrange affordable adventures throughout the District. ALSO: Sign up for CheapCash and get ready to stretch your travel dollars even further! Luxury Backpackers Luxury Backpackers: Hanoi, Vietnam Hanoi is one of the cheapest cities in the world to book a luxury hotel, which might make a place like Luxury Backpackers Hanoi seem superfluous. However, once you enter this poshtel, you’ll change your mind. Located steps from Hoan Kiem Lake and featuring many of the same architectural flourishes as much more expensive properties, Luxury Backpackers Hanoi is decidedly upscale. Head to the common areas to connect with like-minded travelers, who will become your friends on excursions to lush Sapa and the Ha Long Bay UNESCO World Heritage site. Posh South Beach Posh South Beach: Miami, FL As its name suggests, Posh South Beach is a place that more than lives up to the glamorous reputation of Florida’s most exclusive coastal destination. Located in the heart of the Art Deco Historic District and boasting a “five-star” rating for amenities that include a rooftop pool with sundeck, Posh South Beach offers both private and shared rooms, and services that include complimentary airport pickup and a full kitchen for cooking. Space Hotel Melbourne Space Hotel: Melbourne, Australia Australia is not generally known for having awesome hostels, but Space Hotel Melbourne bucks this trend. Stylish (and futuristic, as its name suggests), Space Hotel is built into a deceptively simple building, whose location is equidistant from the Melbourne Museum and the city’s celebrated Chinatown. Make sure to ask the front desk about group tours to the world-famous Great Ocean Road, which sits just a couple of hours from Melbourne’s city center! Swanky Mint Swanky Mint: Zagreb, Croatia Though it’s literally the most-awarded hostel in all of Croatia, Swanky Mint Hostel Zagreb boasts a cool, calm and assured energy when you walk through its doors. Housed in a former 19th-century textile factory in the heart of Old Zagreb (near the unique Museum of Broken Relationships, among other attractions), Swanky Mint offers a lush garden area, swimming pool and frees shot upon arrival in addition to a variety of shared and private room types.

The article is called The best Mexico all inclusive resorts for every traveler type and is located at https://www.cheaptickets.com/blog/2018/11/the-best-mexican-all-inclusives-for-every-traveler-type/.CaptchaSubmit Lindsay TigarNovember 5, 2018 Leave a comment Like the U.S., Mexico is made up of numerous states, all offering their own beauty, culture, experiences and, of course, culinary feats. From breathtaking—and ahem, exclusive—views in Los Cabos to Cancun’s endless party scene, the right spot for your wanderlust is out there. And, there’s an all-inclusive resort to suit every taste, too, so you don’t have to worry about anything once you touch down. Whether you’re traveling with a gaggle of gals, your partner or kids, there’s an accommodation for every type of traveler. RELATED: Get to this overlooked Mexico island before everyone else does Paradisus by Melia Cabos The entire clan For some, the idea of an all-inclusive screams dodgy buffets and sunburned children, but at Paradisus by Melia Cabos in Los Cabos, the stereotype is upended. Here, an oversized pool gives kiddos plenty of space to splash around, and an on-site kid’s club gives mom and dad a break, too. As a bonus, there’s an entire separate check-in area—complete with a snack bar for children at their height level—that takes some of the chaos out of family arrivals. With healthy options and even a menu crafted by a Michelin-starred chef, have a relaxing vacation… with babes in tow. The Grand at Moon Palace The party person Whether your best single friend is finally getting married or you’re planning a family reunion with all of your extended cousins, you need a resort that can host your party. Though options are countless in Cancun, The Grand at Moon Palace is the mack daddy of all-inclusives, featuring countless dining areas, nightclubs, wedding venues, pools and of course, entertainment. Spend time hopping from one swim-up bar to another, supercharge your adrenaline on their water slides or sample a bit of everything at their various buffets. Bachelorette parties: Moon Palace also offers makeup, facial and hairstyling classes—complete with a cocktail (or three). Fairmont Mayakoba The honeymooner If you’ve never heard of the Mayakoba region, you’re in for quite a romantic treat. Sandwiched between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen is this eco-friendly dreamland, filled with birds, monkeys, crocodiles and turtles. It’s home to many luxury properties—from Banyan Tree to Rosewood—but Fairmont Mayakoba is the only one to offer an “all-inclusive 5-star” experience. For an additional nightly fee, newlyweds can enjoy culinary and mixology creations at every on-site restaurant. Couples also benefit from jungle seclusion, as well as private beach access, en suite infinity pools and various tours, including kayaking, windsurfing and more. Though it is definitely on the pricier side, you only get married once. RELATED: Join CheapCash and enjoy a fiesta of savings! Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta The backpacker If your post-college plans include trekking through Central America and Mexico, you’ll probably need a break from hostels after a few weeks. But since most resorts are beyond a backpacker’s budget, you’ll need to find one that’s at a manageable price point, like Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta. Featuring a taco shack, an Italian and Japanese restaurant, as well as a buffet, this inexpensive all-inclusive might not be fancy, but it definitely won’t leave you hungry. It also is only twenty minutes from the Zona Romantica, making for a cheap ride into town to explore PV’s famed art scene and nightlife. Excellence Playa Mujeres The love birds Whether you’ve been hitched for a decade or three, making it through the many highs and lows of married life is cause for celebration. Stop searching for the best-of-the-best and allow us to introduce you to the majestic all-inclusive Excellence Playa Mujeres near Cancun. Playa Mujeres is an adults-only property, so you won’t have to worry about children splashing water in your champagne glass. Instead, lounge in your oversized and opulent suite, play a round at their private golf course, and of course, spend at least one afternoon at their high-end spa. Occidental Xcaret Destination The Instagrammer Even if you aren’t Insta-famous, you might still enjoy snapping a pic (or 100) to stir envy in your friends back home. Though the crystal-blue waters of the Caribbean don’t require a filter, if you want a background that truly earns those double-taps, consider staying at the all-inclusive Occidental at Xcaret Destination in the Riviera Maya region. You’ll definitely have to set aside time for a photo shoot, since you can pick from an adults-only saltwater pool on the edge of a cliff; crisp, white sands on a private beach within a cove; luxe cabanas overlooking the sea; monkeys dangling in the trees behind you; parrots chirping in the lobby or traipsing across bridges in the jungle. Just make sure to bring an extra battery pack. Tagged: Destinations, Mexico Bio Latest Posts Lindsay TigarLindsay is a lifestyle and travel writer, and content strategist.

The article is called These are the 9 coolest motels in America and is located at https://www.cheaptickets.com/blog/2018/02/9-coolest-motels-america/.CaptchaSubmit Laura PowellFebruary 16, 2018 1 Comment The word motel, which derives from morphing the words motor and hotel, probably conjures a cheap, roadside stopover these days. But in the 1950s and 1960s, thousands of charming mom and pop motels sprouted up around the country, coinciding with the development of the interstate highway system. As the decades passed, though, many of these properties went belly up or fell into disrepair. Now, hoteliers are seeing the potential in reviving some of the down-but-not-out properties for a retro-obsessed hipster crowd, thereby bringing boutique chic to the motel landscape. Here’s a look at some of the coolest of the bunch. ALSO: The best of Joshua Tree and the High Desert Photo courtesy of the Ace Hotel Ace Hotel and Swim Club: Palm Springs, CA Palm Springs is all about retro chic, so it’s no surprise that the folks at Ace Hotel decided to dust off a neglected Westward Ho (complete with a Denny’s), give it some love and open afresh. The rooms at Ace Hotel & Swim Club sport a desert decor, with bedspreads made from tent canvas and bathrobes that any Bedouin would be proud to don. Oh, and that Denny’s? It’s now King’s Highway, serving Middle Eastern cuisine with a California twist. Photo courtesy of the Austin Motel and Nick Simonite Austin Motel: Austin, TX The Austin Motel has been operating since 1938, but its current design, by legendary Austin hotelier Liz Lambert, reads mid-century groovy. Check out those orange vinyl tufted beds. In the Pool Suites, dig the coin-operated Magic Fingers vibrating bed. More titillating enjoyment is on hand at the ’50s-style outdoor pool, which hosts “Richard Simmons-style” water aerobics classes and synchronized swimming shows. Photo courtesy of Sound View Greenpoint Sound View Greenport: Long Island, NY A lot of motels sit roadside, but others reside beachfront. Sound View, on the North Fork of Long Island, hearkens back to the golden era of beachside motels. Sit on your private balcony and gaze out over Greenport’s private beach, or enjoy a room filled with nautical undertones that nod to the town’s fishing and boating history. The nostalgia of a classic motel hasn’t faded: Kitchenettes and tiled bathrooms flash back to the past. More American retro is available at The Halyard, the on-site restaurant run by a James Beard Award-winning chef. Photo courtesy of Pioneertown Pioneertown Motel: Yucca Valley, CA The Pioneertown Motel sits on the western outskirts of Joshua Tree National Park. It was originally built in 1946 by one Roy Rogers (Hi, Ho, Silver!) in order to house movie stars who were desert bound to shoot Westerns. More than 70 years later, it still feels like you should be wearing chaps and cowboy boots as you walk onto what looks like the set of an old Hollywood oater. Still, the motel’s 19 rooms are designed with an updated, albeit simple modernity to appeal to modern cowboys and cowgirls. Photo courtesy of Unscripted Hotel Unscripted Hotel: Durham, NC Unscripted Hotel in North Carolina’s Research Triangle adds a new chapter to what was once the Jack Tar Motor Lodge. The rooms recall that motel’s 1960s heyday, blending the decade’s pop design with modern functionality and unexpected details, like custom murals with psychedelic patterns. Socialize at the rooftop pool bar, or wander down to The Studio, a playful take on the classic mid-century rec room. There’s more on tap at Pour Taproom, a pay-by-the-ounce craft beer and wine bar, and at allday, which is part coffee bar, part meet-up spot. Photo courtesy of the Farmer’s Daughter The Farmer’s Daughter: Los Angeles, CA When The Farmer’s Daughter opened near the Original Farmers Market during the 1960s, it was a popular lodging spot for starry-eyed ingenues coming to town seeking fame and fortune. However, by the 1980s, it had become somewhat of a no-tell motel. As the neighborhood’s fortunes turned in the 1990s, so did those of The Farmer’s Daughter. The aging ingenue underwent her most recent facelift in 2016. Rooms feature one-of-a-kind installation boxes showing various interpretations of the “farmer’s daughter” lifestyle. Other handmade artwork pops up throughout the hotel and the boutique features a variety of curated clothing and accessories made by local designers. Photo courtesy of Calistoga Motel Calistoga Motor Lodge and Spa: Calistoga, CA Calistoga is known for its mineral-filled mud and springs. Why not take a bath in it at the Calistoga Motor Lodge and Spa? Enveloped by the Mayacamas Mountains, this vibrant, yet laid-back property is a classic 1940s roadside motel reimagined with a road-tripping theme. Each room is outfitted with a camper banquette and splashes from a mid-century color palette. Explore the secluded, whimsical spa, modeled after a classic bathhouse. Anchored by geothermal mineral water-fed pools, the spa puts a quirky spin on mineral baths and therapies from around the world. Photo courtesy of the Jupiter Hotel The Jupiter: Portland, OR A neon road sign welcomes all callers to The Jupiter in Portland’s Burnside neighborhood. The 1960s motor lodge maintains its original exterior, but a recent update has brought a bit of Portlandia inside. As you enter your room, a personalized message appears on the chalkboard door. Rooms are simple….and those earplugs by the bed are there for a reason. Still, for those who like to be in the center of the action, the neighborhood is filled with hipster hangouts, and trendy live music joint Doug Fir is motel-adjacent. Photo courtesy of the Downtown Clifton The Downtown Clifton Hotel: Tucson, AZ A funky blend of Mexican, Native American and Northern European influences, Tucson deserves a hotel worthy of its arty and eclectic vibe. Enter the Downtown Clifton Hotel, a true mid-century gem featuring guestrooms outfitted with vintage furniture. This seductive and budget-friendly charmer sits a short walk from the city’s vibrant and compact downtown and boasts Instagrammable murals, a low-key hangout area and discounts to the coolest bars and eateries around town.
