The Grand Hyatt Baha Mar in the Bahamas is a bigger hotel than we usually feature. It has 1800 rooms of which 230 are one, two, or three bedroom suites.
✨ What I love about the suites is that they feature a kitchen and laundry facilities, making them a wonderful option for families or for a getaway with friends.
✨ The Grand Hyatt is in the Baha Mar community that features two other hotels— SLS which I love for girls’ getaways or the Rosewood which is perfect for couples or families seeking a quieter, more sophisticated experience.
✨ In addition, you have access to the Baha Bay oceanfront water park, eight pools, a beautiful beach, a wonderful tennis facility (perfect for your next tennis getaway!), a golf course, and the largest casino in the Bahamas! There are endless activities to do at this resort.

La Vallon de Valrugues & Spa is a small hotel with 49 rooms, suites, and villas that is located a short walk from charming St. Remy de Provence. I especially liked the villas here which give you extra space and a private pool.
💫 With a focus on wellness, the hotel offers indoor and outdoor heated pools, a counter current swimming pool, a hammam & sauna, a fitness room, and 7 treatment rooms for spa services.
💫 Provence is one of my favorite parts of France and St. Remy is a wonderful location from which to explore the region.
La Mirande sits in the shadows of the Palais des Papes (Palace of the Popes) in Avignon.
💫 This 5* hotel has a rich history which started in the 14th century when the Pope’s nephew, Cardinal de Pellegrue, built it as a livree or cardinals’ palaces.
💫 Its current owners have lovingly restored the mansion into a boutique hotel with 26 rooms, each decorated with historic French cotton prints that are reminiscent of 18th center Avignon.
💫 Besides its lovely rooms, La Mirande is home to Le Restaurant, a Michelin star gourmet restaurant of Chef Florent Pietravalle. La Mirande also has a chef’s table in its basement where your dinner is prepared in front of 12 guests as well as a cooking school.
💫 La Mirande is a Virtuoso property and when you stay here, you will get the following perks:
⭐️Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
⭐️ Complimentary buffet breakfast daily for two guests per bedroom
⭐️ $100 USD equivalent Food & Beverage credit to be utilized during stay (not combinable, no cash value if not redeemed in full)
⭐️ Early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability
💫 La Mirande’s central location, interesting heritage, and its focus on food makes for a wonderful stay! La Mirande *****
The recently renovated Ritz Paris takes a personal approach with its guests, getting to know your preferences ahead of time.
✨ The hotel has 142 rooms in a 1703 building with 80% connecting rooms. With such a large percentage of connecting rooms, the Ritz Paris is perfect for families as well as couples.
✨ We were lucky to see the Windsor Suite on this visit which is a 1780 sq ft, 2 bedroom suite overlooking Place Vendome.

Esprit Saint Germain is a wonderful boutique hotel located on the Left Bank of Paris in one of my favorite areas, Saint Germain des Pres. This 5* hotel feels more like a private residence with 28 rooms, suites, and apartments.
✨ Esprit Saint Germain did not waste the time it was closed due to the pandemic and renovated the entire hotel from top to bottom this past year. I love the different textures of this hotel.
✨ Featured in this video is one of the hotel’s apartments. It is exceptionally spacious for a hotel apartment in Paris and so well designed. This apartment can hold 4 or 7 people if you add the optional second bedroom to it.
✨ Esprit Saint Germain is a Virtuoso hotel and as such provides the following perks:
⭐️ Complimentary breakfast for two;
⭐️ Complimentary bottle of wine and assorted French cheeses;
⭐️ Upgrade upon arrival if available; and,
⭐️ Early check in/late check out if available
✨ Besides these wonderful perks, the hotel has a a nice living room where you can enjoy complimentary drinks anytime. It is like visiting your best friend! @espritsaintgermain

I am busy getting ready for my work trip to France. Currently France requires that Americans be vaccinated in order to be allowed into the country without having to quarantine. A negative covid test is not a requirement but I did one for peace of mind.
I used Abbott Labs’ BinaxNOW Covid-19 Ag Card which is approved by the CDC to reenter the US,. Make sure you buy the correct one if you plan to use this test to return to the US as Abbott makes another test with a similar name which is NOT accepted by the CDC.
The testing process took just 20 minutes and was done via telemedicine. The results were immediately sent to my email. The whole process was easy peasy!
I bought a package of six tests for $150 so it is fairly priced at $25 per test from emed.com (note: I understand that emed is temporarily out of these kits). If your hotel does not offer the required covid testing onsite to return to the US, I highly recommend this as an option.
