Have you noticed that many hotels are creating unique concepts to entice visitors? Perhaps they’re trying to entice millennials.
As Condor Ferries reports, 86% of millennials travel for experience and culture, with 60% ranking authentic culture as the most vital part of the entire travel experience. This is one reason why more hotels are beginning to focus on the experiences they offer. 2021 will see some of these hotels. Below are three we are excited for, as seen in Vogue.
Lifehouse, Chattanooga, Tennessee
Anticipated to open Winter 2021, this boutique hotel takes over Chattanooga’s beaux-arts train terminal with suites located in old-school Pullman train cars. The hotel is complete with a 40-seat cinema, recording studio, and 1970s lounge and restaurant.
Hutton Brickyards, Kingston, New York
Opening Spring 2021, these luxury cabins are located an hour and a half from New York City. Set on 73 acres of land, you can find an archery range, croquet lawn, fire pits, hiking trails, kayaking, paddle-boarding, snow shoeing, skiing, beekeeping, and an outdoor yoga studio in addition to a spa and restaurant. Need an afternoon snack or drink? Flag down the delivery cart that travels by the countryside cabins.
The Aurum, Catskills, New York
Anticipated to open Fall 2021, this will feature North America’s first Roman-style hammam. Traditionally, a hammam was a public bath, as bathing was considered a social activity. Today, hammams are incorporated in spa treatments, using steam and various water temperatures to stimulate circulation and cleanse one’s pores. These bungalows will have outdoor gardens, interiors filled with antiques, and a shared 6,000 square foot spa that features many bathing and wellness concepts first seen in Ancient Rome.
All of these celebrate history and ensure memorable, unique experiences. For exciting travel ideas in all parts of the world, be sure to visit the article!
