A Grown-Up New York Escape For Moms Who Need A Break

Not that anyone needs to tell you — because you already know — but you need a break. So when someone says, "You should get away," you can reply, "Already on it." Enter Romer Hell's Kitchen: a hotel that gives you options, not a packed itinerary. It's eclectic, smart, and very New York — grown-up without trying too hard.

The spaces actually work for real life. The lobby feels more like a cozy study than a pass-through, ideal for coffee, emails, or a rare uninterrupted moment. Downstairs, So & So's Piano Bar adds personality without draining your energy. Morning logistics? Covered, thanks to the on-site cafĂ© and easy neighborhood favorites. You're walkable to Broadway, Central Park, and Times Square — close to everything, without being swallowed by it. It's the kind of stay that flexes with you, whether you're turning in early… or not.

Baccarat Hotel
Baccarat Hotel

At Baccarat Hotel, luxury isn't about being quiet or proper — it's about doing something unforgettable. This is where a mom trip turns aspirational, thanks to the only Spa de La Mer in the U.S., iconic Afternoon Tea in the Grand Salon, and craft cocktails at The Bar served in Baccarat crystal (because why not?). This is the kind of opulent stay that reminds you you're allowed to want more.

5 Low-Effort, High Payoff Family Vacation Ideas

You know how a single trip to the park somehow requires a full logistics meeting? That's the exact reason many of us flinch when the word "vacation" comes up.

Luckily, The Local, St. Augustine delivers what you actually want from time away — without the big production. This 20-room property keeps things simple, modern, and refreshingly low-key. It's not trying to be everything, and that's precisely the point. Contactless check-in, in-room refrigerators and microwaves, and reliable air conditioning mean less coordinating and more downtime. And when the Florida heat inevitably wins, there's a pool waiting. Located within walking distance of historic downtown and the St. Augustine Amphitheater — and a short ride from the beach — it gives you options without demanding a plan.

Between large rooms, ranch-style villas, and plenty of dining on-site, days feel full without turning into a scheduling exercise.

Sentral East Austin 1630
Sentral East Austin 1630

When you don't want a trip to take over your life, having more territory makes all the difference.

Add East Austin right outside the door, and you get everything you need in an easy vacation.
