Travel in Jersey

With Thanksgiving in the rearview, today is one of the most magical days of the year for Black Friday deals on everything from flights to hotel stays and even AirPods. It's also the start of the most magical time of year at Disney parks, and if you love saving money as much as you love visiting Disney World or Disneyland, today is your day to shine.

For many of the world’s most famous mountain destinations, springtime can often be—for a lack of a better word—a dud. Snow is melting so skiing is no longer as exciting an option, but thawing mountains naturally leave a muddy trail in its wake, making activities like hiking more challenging, too. That’s why this two-ish-month springtime period is called: mud season. But not all mountain locales are made the same. Take the largest ski resort in North America: Whistler, British Columbia. In a lot of ways, unless you’re just begging for as much snow as possible to accommodate non-stop skiing, spring is a great time to be in this hilly hamlet tucked away in western Canada’s Coast Mountain range.

New Jersey might be one of the most underrated destinations in the US. Sandwiched between New York City and Philadelphia, the Garden State is often delegated to the shadows (or as a punchline to its urban neighbors).

Spring is all about new beginnings. New builds, new renovations, new chapters for once-forgotten properties—and this season’s hotel openings offer all of the above. The following fresh openings–maybe it’s the renovation of a Gilded Age mansion in the middle of Denver, or the rescue of a midcentury California motor lodge from demolition–remind us that at their best, hotels bring a renewed sense of optimism to their communities. This spring, we’re showered with an intriguing slate of openings across the country—which are sparking joy for you?
