After booking two nights in ultra-luxury hotels for my first trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I had a tight budget for the final night of my three-day adventure.
Desperate to find accommodation under $200, I scrambled through booking sites, sorting the pricing from lowest to highest. The cheapest spot I could find was a queen-sized bunk in a hostel for $150.
I'd never stayed in a hostel before, and after bunking in a train cabin with strangers, I was a bit nervous I wouldn't sleep well.
But it wasn't just any hostel — it was Cache House, a modern, sleek hostel with high-end touches.
I ended up sleeping as well as I would in any luxury hotel, and I'd definitely stay there again to save a buck.

“I first came to Rajasthan around 2012 and completely fell in love with the people, the way of life, and the colors,” says the English fashion designer Kim Jones, who has remained captivated by the indigos, shocking pinks, and oranges of the Indian state ever since. “I've always had a fascination with heritage craft, and that first trip inspired a love of Indian textiles and embroideries.” For Jones, sources of such inspiration extend to Rajasthani architecture—the palaces and the people who built them—as well as a wider “innate sense of style” found across India, “mixing utility, formality, and immaculate tailoring.” After a string of return trips, Jones found that hints of those design sensibilities and meticulous attention to detail had trickled down into his own work—accessories in particular, in which he says “the intricacy of maharaja style is reimagined into a modern graphic look.” Here, Jones shares the places he never leaves off his itinerary, including the spot for regional dishes like murgh tikka, his favorite market to source tie-dyed textiles, and a tented camp in the wilderness.

Last month, Delta Air Lines cut the ribbon on its second business-class-only lounge at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). A beautiful but smaller, more food-and-beverage focused outpost, the new LAX facility can't quite match the sheer scope of Delta's sprawling, 40,000 square-foot oasis at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), which launched the high-end lounge portfolio this past summer.
