There’s no better endorsement for a hotel than the patronage of royalty or celebrities. Beyoncé — rather, Queen Bey — is regarded as both. Few entertainment industry power couples have had the impact that Beyoncé and Jay-Z have had, from their illustrious careers to their luxurious lifestyle. Factor in a combined net worth somewhere in the billions, and you know that any hotel that’s good enough for the Carters is guaranteed to be something spectacular.
With Beyoncé currently jet-setting for her Renaissance world tour, now’s the perfect time to spotlight a few of the hotels that the superstar and her family love to visit. Below are five ultra-luxe properties that have earned Bey and Jay’s stamp of approval, along with all the details you’re dying to know about what makes these hotels celeb-worthy, where the couple prefers to stay when they’re there, and what a visit might look like for the average luxury traveler.
Beyoncé started 2023 with a bang — rather, a fireworks show. The pyrotechnics that lit up the Dubai sky this past January capped the superstar’s first live performance since 2018 at a private event held to welcome Atlantis The Royal, an over-the-top hotel whose “Royal Mansion” reportedly housed Queen Bey during her visit.
Atlantis The Royal is made up of six Jenga-like towers bridged by a nearly 300-foot-long skybridge. The joint luxury hotel and residential property houses 795 rooms and suites, 17 bars and restaurants, and a whopping 92 pools. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the hotel’s location on the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah, a human-made, palm-tree-shaped island that provides guests with views of the Arabian Sea and glimpses of Dubai’s architectural ingenuity.
Room rates start a little south of $1,000 per night, a price tag that pays for luxuries like private balconies, walk-in closets and showers, and designer amenities ranging from hand-stitched Hypnos mattresses to Hermès bath products. More expensive bookings come with in-suite infinity pools. The bi-level, four-bedroom penthouse where Beyoncé is said to have stayed is the hotel’s most extravagant suite, spanning 11,000 square feet and costing $100,000 per night.
Beyoncé-approved digs are just part of the appeal at Atlantis The Royal. In addition to celebrity-chef-helmed restaurants, beach and pool clubs, and easily accessible sister venues at the neighboring Atlantis The Palm hotel, guests also have access to best-in-class shopping, wellness, fitness, styling, nightlife, and recreation right there on the property — including the “world’s largest waterpark” at Atlantis Aquaventure.

”Hong Kong is a photographer’s dream,” says Geraint Rowland. “It’s got impressive architecture and the busy streets teem with life, day and night.” The Wanderlust Travel Photo of the Year winner was blown away by the territory. As part of their dual-destination photo commission, the four winners of the UK’s biggest travel photography competition were first guided around Hong Kong and its many islands. They soon discovered there were plenty of opportunities to point their lenses, whether the neon skyscrapers, the old neighbourhoods from which the city evolved or one of the 260 outlying islands, whose slower pace of life, unusual wildlife and natural landscapes offer a contrast to that famous urban bustle.
The first thing that strikes me about Kalma Saun is that there is nowhere to hide. Brilliant white tiles stretch from floor to ceiling and buffed steel faucets reflect the glare from fluorescent lights—as if I am standing in an interrogation room rather than Tallinn’s oldest public sauna.
It’s no longer something to keep hidden.
Early morning on Dartmoor, and as I lie in bed all I can hear is the trill of birdsong, punctuated by a distant cuckoo’s call. I open the campervan door to take in the scene. There’s no one around, no buildings in sight, just fields glittering with dew in the sunlight and sheep grazing nonchalantly on the hillside.
With its white-sand beaches and sparkling turquoise seas framed by palm trees, lush greenery and soaring mountains, there could hardly be a more romantic destination than the Caribbean. Whether you want to snorkel with spectacular sea life, indulge in a moonlit dinner á deux, have your cares massaged away or lounge together in a private cabana, the Caribbean offers the ultimate idyllic couples’ escape.

Getting old has few benefits, but the occasional senior travel discount is one of them. Senior travelers can enjoy a wide range of discounts, but both availability and value vary substantially among different travel sectors and in different parts of the globe.
Though I pride myself on being an independent traveler—I was in the United States Peace Corps in Paraguay for two years, have been to six continents, and spent multiple years reviewing hotels across the U.S. and around the world, by myself— India is one country that I’ve never considered visiting as a solo traveler.
In an overhaul of its travel advisory system, the U.S. Department of State recently assigned every country in the world a travel safety rating. The safest places are ranked Level 1, while the places that Americans are advised to avoid are considered Level 4:
If you want to stay at the best hotel in the United States, head to the French Quarter Inn in Charleston, South Carolina. And if you’re looking for the best bargain hotel stay in the world, it’s in a small town in northern Spain. That’s according to TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards, which just shared the best hotel ratings for multiple categories heading into 2019.
If you’re looking to find the least expensive accommodations in a destination regardless of what kind of accommodation it is, you might be surprised to learn that Airbnb isn’t always the cheapest.
