You’re officially invited to Holiday Summer Club☀️🦢. This edition of our Holiday collection is our ode to nostalgic summer holidays and the rituals that make them so easy to romanticize years later: family vacations marked by overpacked suitcases and a lobby full of anticipation, cars tracing miles of coastline, rows of floppy hats claiming striped pool chairs, and those obligatory last-night dinners that somehow become a very late check-out. Summer is the season of bell carts at arrival, SPF on the counter, and another reason to be outside with your favorite people. Longer evenings, warmer weather, and everyone’s renewed willingness to leave the house make gathering feel less like logistics and more like spontaneity. If you’re anything like us, by March you’ve already drafted a detailed itinerary and sent it out to friends and family: a girls’ trip in June, a destination wedding in July, the inevitable birthday dinners, a weekend booked simply because the calendar allows it, and “pool party” written in just about every open slot. Consider this your summer guidebook for celebrating well, traveling beautifully, and making the most of every invitation on the calendar. Inside, you’ll find resorts for group getaways on cinematic rail routes, girls’ trip favorites, rooftop restaurants pouring collegiate cocktails and serving caviar in lunchboxes, destiantion-weddings in the French Riviera, terraces built for dinners at sunset, and hotels with enough momentum to host an entire weekend. Gather your luggage tags and ring up your crew. These are the venues, scenes, and summer plans that deserve a place on your calendar.

Vintage girls’ trips are on the rise, and they’re not just about finding a venue with nostalgic design from another era. They’re about craving the kinds of trips people took 20 or 30 years ago, when you came home with stories instead of 600 photos, and everyone was in the moment instead of documenting it.  After years of fast, over-documented travel, 2026 is ushering in something quieter and far more considered. Call it a new golden age, or call it hush-pitality. Either way, the shift is clear: trips are becoming less about capturing everything and more about actually being there. We are putting our phones down long enough to enjoy the people in front of us. “Grandma hobbies” have re-entered the chat for a reason: cards, reading, long walks, proper conversations, the art of doing very little and doing it very well. The appeal is not nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. It is a return to a slower, more social pace that feels better. The best hotels are across the U.S. and Europe, aren’t just leaning back into bygone glamour with retro cabanas, striped umbrellas, and Frank Sinatra energy lobby bars. They’re bringing back the analog experinces too: vinyl listening rooms, card games on boat rides, Moke rides around town, Mahjong, bike rides into town for homemade ice cream, and dinner clubs. Call it Vintage Girls’ Summer, and a return to a Riviera state of mind. You’re officially  invited to the Holiday: VR Summer Club ☀️🦢: a collection of spaces and stays devoted to this exact way of gathering, from French wedding weekends to rooftop hotels with lunch served from retro lunchboxes, seaside trains and 70's poolside parties in Mallorca  (→ explore the full collection). Below, is just one stop inside the collection. A lineup of hotels that understand the golden age of hospitality.  Reported by: Pallavi Mehra

Miami has always been known for its iconic summer social scene, where the heat sends people from mansion-lined beaches to palm-heavy pools and hotel lounges where afternoons turn into reservations without much negotiation. In its earlier decades, that meant plush luncheonettes, orchestras playing under chandeliers, and nights that began at a cocktail bar. Sinatra held court at the Fontainebleau, checker-clad pool parties featured exotic animals, and the line between dinner, drinks, and dancing was circular. That version didn’t disappear, it just changed shape. Silver platters and tuxes gave way to velvet ropes and waitlists, promoters outside beach clubs, and a reservation system that feels more competitive than it needs to be. We've done the group work for you. Below, is a curated list of 20 of Miami’s standout cocktail destinations featuring bespoke mixology programs, stunning rooftop terraces, DJ sets, and internationally inspired cuisine. Cocktail bars serve as that summer "in between" place. Not quite dinner, not quite the afters, but the place everyone agrees on in between. It's exactly what the Holiday: VR Summer Club collection celebrates: spending time together and being in walking distance to a pool or the beach (preferably answering to "frozen or on the rocks)"! Book the booth, secure the cabana, and plan your next birthday, girls' trip, or simply because everyone is already dressed and not ready to call it.
