Oahu is getting its first adults-only hotel when the Romer House Waikiki opens on June 1, 2024.
Located along the popular Waikiki’ Beach, Romer House is a mid-century-inspired retreat offering 179 rooms with rates starting at $195 per night. Reservations are available for booking.

Guest rooms are designed by Indidesign, with design features that harken back to Hawai’i: woven textiles and warm wood tones are combined with dark blues and blacks. Many rooms offer two queen beds or one king, with some featuring private lanais.
The hotel’s signature restaurant blends local ingredients with Japanese cuisine. Called IZAKAYA 855-ALOHA, the restaurant and bar is spearheaded by Chef Shotaro “Sho” Kamio and is designed to be a gathering place for guests long after the sun sets.

The Backyard is a pool and bar area offering cabana daybeds, lounge chairs, a full-service bar, food options and a serene pool surrounded by plants native to the island.
Romer House Waikiki just does things differently. One of them is a commitment to showcasing local art throughout the hotel. A large-scale gallery wall offers a glimpse into local artists’ foci, while guestrooms offer photography by surf photographer Arto Saari. The pool deck features murals by Matías Solario and Cory Kamehanaokalā Taum of POW! WOW.
Additionally, the hotel has a commitment to serving its local community. It’s a steward of the King Kalākaua Park, and guests are invited to support its stewardship by contributing to the Genki Ala Wai Project with Waikiki Community Center and the Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation initiative.

Anniversary trips are about the marriage, not the kids. But we chose to take our little one with us across the Pacific to Hawaii to celebrate 10 years of matrimony. We spent our honeymoon in Oahu, and taking our son back to the island gave us a unique opportunity to see how much we'd changed in the past decade. Since the vacation was about our marital milestone, we catered the trip to us, not our 7-year-old.

Christopher Columbus’s fortunes have changed over the past several decades. Monuments that once celebrated his memory have been toppled or spattered with paint. Disdain for his colonialist ways is unmistakable. But few interventions are as thoughtful as the art of Hew Locke.
It had been a while since I’d had a vacation vacation—the type where hours blend into nothing and your only responsibilities are to claim a lounge chair, choose a book, and try to remember where you left your sunglasses. A few days at the legendary Rockhouse in Negril, Jamaica, delivered just that and then some: think jerk chicken sandwiches off the grill, party vibes that start way before sundown, and an endless soundtrack of reggae and dancehall. Of course, I also needed to curate a packing list fit for the setting, one that included a swimsuit for making the most of my villa's private ladder into the Caribbean sea, reading material guaranteed to immerse me in Jamaican culture and history, and a versatile tote bag that would look just as appropriate on the way to the spa as it would during a clifftop dinner come nighttime. Below, a few of my favorite items from the trip.
Soho House’s share price closed Friday up 3%, with investors modestly liking what the membership club operator had to say about its recent performance.
Packed bars with carousing revelers spilling onto clogged streets. Takeaway booze swigged by drunken tourists and students. Earsplitting volumes in once quiet residential neighborhoods long after midnight.
There are European country house hotels, and then there is Casa Palmela, about a 45-minute drive south of Lisbon. Located a couple of miles beyond the sleepy port city of Setubal, it’s surrounded by lush countryside covered in vineyards and dotted with cork trees. A very long and grand walled driveway takes you into a spacious courtyard, letting you know in all its 17th-century splendor that you have arrived.
If you’re planning to attend the Paris Olympics and see a bit of Europe this summer, you have a variety of plush new hotels from which to choose (though they’re likely to fill up quickly). Whether you’re going to the Games or simply going on vacation, you’ll find fresh boutique properties in Paris and many more that are an easy flight away, be it to the French Riviera, Rome, or fittingly, an island in Greece, the birthplace of the ancient games.
