The Newbury Boston's front yard is the Boston Public Garden, the first public botanical garden in the U.S., so it's a particularly lovely place to stay in the spring when tulips, pansies and cherry trees are in full bloom. The hotel's "Spring Escape" package treats mom to the most elegant of escapes. Not only do package guests get an overnight stay with breakfast for two at Contessa, The Newbury's rooftop restaurant with a glass-enclosed terrace, mom will be presented with a seasonal bouquet from Winston Flowers — the family-run florist got its start on Newbury Street in the 1940s — and a Veuve Clicquot basket tote complete with a bottle of citrusy Yellow Label Veuve Clicquot to toast with. Art-loving moms should take time to peruse the hotel's own on-site collection and visit the Museum of Fine Arts nearby.
Package rates begin at $975 per night.

Hawaii's Pink Palace, The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Resort Collection property on Waikiki Beach, harks back to the glamorous 1920s. Originally opened in 1927, the hotel still offers a historic wing where guest rooms have dark wood furniture and fuschia and platinum accents, as well as a modern tower with more contemporary accommodations and private balconies (every room in the Mailani Tower has an ocean view).
The "Pampered in Pink" package, offered as an upgrade on stays from May 9 through 13, helps moms immerse themselves in everything the historic hotel offers. The package includes a pink pinstriped robe to keep, a cute tote bag and a toast for two at either the Mai Tai Bar or the Malulani Pool, lined with oversized pink deck umbrellas. A fragrant floral arrangement will help ease Mom into relaxation mode, but she can stay as busy as she likes, as Royal Hawaiian guests can participate in resort activities such as yoga, aqua Zumba and meditation.

Norwegian Cruise Line is celebrating educators by offering discounted cruises and rewarding 20 teachers with a free cruise on the company’s newest ship.
Much of Challengers’ runtime not spent on a tennis court goes down in a suite and lobby bar at an unnamed luxury New Rochelle hotel. (The film was shot in Boston.) While the techno-pulsing tennis piece of erotica never establishes whether or not these lodgings have a place to play on the premises, there are allusions to sports power couple Tashi and Art Donaldson’s (Zendaya and Mike Faist, respectively) preferred vacation destinations when off the clock. Considering the former’s clinging obsession with the game, and use of the latter as her proxy (she cannot play following an injury), it would be difficult to imagine tennis isn’t somehow involved.
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, Norwegian Cruise Line is offering educators an exclusive year-round cruise discount and onboard credit. The cruise line is also once again recognizing top teachers—and giving them free cruises—through its Giving Joy program.
