Europe

For many of us, when we think of traveling abroad we think of Europe, and what better place to celebrate getting back to what we love than by visiting the City of Love? Surround yourself with luxe details at Castille Paris, located in a beautifully restored 18th-century building in the heart of the first arrondissement. Use your $100 experience credit1 toward a meal at the award-winning L’Assaggio, run by Michelin-starred chef Ugo Alciati.

1Experience Credit varies by property.

Roomers Munich, Autograph Collection in Germany is a destination in itself with its playful modern decor combining colorful flourishes with copper and brass accents. Enjoy a room upgrade at check-in, when available2, and explore the historic surroundings. Don’t miss a private tour of the incredible fairytale-like castle of Neuschwanstein, arranged by the hotel.

2Certain room categories are not eligible for upgrade.

The charming coastal haven of Borgo Egnazia in Brindisi, southern Italy, is as alluring as it is relaxing. Fortunately, there’s guaranteed 4pm check-out to maximize your time. Breathe in the fresh air rolling off the Adriatic Sea as you stroll through ancient olive groves of the Itria Valley. This hotel is made from local stone and may resemble an ancient citadel, but it has all the modern comforts you’ll desire for your seaside escape.

Settle into Santorini at Canaves Epitome. The property is perched on the northwestern tip of the Greek island and makes for a stunning place to relax and unwind. Cruise around the island discovering hidden gem beaches and caves along the coast or plunge into one of the many pools at the resort. Use your $100 experience credit toward evening cocktails as you gaze over the tranquil Aegean Sea.

Canada

Oh, Canada. How we’ve missed you! Make up for lost time by staying at the warm and welcoming Four Seasons Resort Whistler. Soak in the free-form heated pool at this intimate mountain retreat after a day of exploring the blue caves or the 14-room spa. It is vacation, after all. Get the most out of your stay with guaranteed 4pm check-out.

Or stay close to business and culture at The St. Regis Toronto, which soars 65 stories above the bustling Canadian metropolis. Take the elevator up to the 31st floor and treat your mind, body and soul to some bliss at Iridium Spa, or indulge in a different kind of therapy in the retail district just steps away from the hotel.

Vogue Hotel Montreal Downtown, Curio Collection by Hilton is a Card Member favorite where you can experience your own pied-à-terre in this charming city. Take a seat at La Société Bistro and enjoy a chic blend of Parisian and North American cuisine using your $100 experience credit.

Your stay at Vancouver’s Wedgewood Hotel and Spa begins with complimentary Belgian chocolates, and each turndown service includes freshly baked cookies. Need we say more? A room upgrade at check-in, when available, will maximize your already generous accommodations, and nightly live entertainment at Bacchus Lounge further sweetens the deal.

Mexico

For some quality me-time, you can’t overlook Mexico. Set between two scenic bluffs on the Baja peninsula, Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection is an ideal introduction to Mexico’s Cabo San Lucas. Kick-start a day of fantastic food with complimentary breakfast for two, then sample the local cuisine at Cocina del Mar. Don’t miss the weekly Mexicanisimo fiesta, where chefs cook traditional regional specialties and fireworks illuminate the night sky.

For swimming, snorkeling and diving, visit Montage Los Cabos, which offers some of the region’s finest aquatic activities. Lounge on the pristine white sand beach or spice up your trip with a visit to the nearby mining ghost town of El Triunfo. Soak up a little extra sun with your guaranteed 4pm check-out.

If Cancún is calling, check into NIZUC Resort & Spa, which overlooks the Caribbean Sea. Tequila tasting, Mexican agave body treatments and tennis are all on the menu — take your pick. And don’t forget to take advantage of the complimentary 50-minute massage for two people per room during your stay.

With ocean views from every room, an oceanfront whirlpool and a spa featuring a Mayan Sanctuary Ritual, there’s something for everyone at Kempinski Hotel Cancun. Explore the area’s ancient Mayan heritage and vibrant marine life and use your $100 experience credit at one of the hotel’s inviting eateries.

Set within a lush complex with crystal clear lagoons, Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya will connect you with the local culture through activities, tastings and more. Hike out to the nearby Mayan ruins, and then post up poolside with tacos from Tinta del Pulpo using your $100 experience credit.

Caribbean

Go big and then go home. Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana is the all-inclusive, all-suite resort you’ve been waiting for. Overlooking the shores of Juanillo Beach, it’s minutes away from championship golf courses, a state-of-the-art marina, deep sea fishing, eco-parks and adventure excursions. Laze in the outdoor oasis lagoon or use your $100 experience credit toward a revitalizing massage in the hotel’s spa.

For full-service luxury lodging with an eco-friendly approach, Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth is your destination. Hike the island’s nature reserves, head out on a deep-sea fishing trip, then cook your catch with the help of a hotel chef. Or simply soak up every glorious moment on the resort’s 18 lush and secluded acres before your guaranteed 4pm check-out.

An endless summer dream awaits at The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort, Puerto Rico, nestled at the foothills of El Yunque National Rainforest and steps from the azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy state of the art cuisine, explore the lush and exotic wildlife of our sanctuary, and test your golf skills in Bahia’s expertly designed 18-hole course. For more excitement, enjoy our water sports or take advantage of your $100 experience credit which can be used toward pampering yourself with a custom spa day in our Iridium Spa.

Located on its own private island in the Turks and Caicos, COMO Parrot Cay epitomizes luxury. With 1,000 unspoiled acres of nature and a mile-long beach, you’ll be able to truly unwind in paradise. Traverse tropical forests on complimentary cruiser bikes, and snorkel off Fort George Cay while learning about fish identification and coral ecology.
