The five-star Auberge du Soleil is nestled on a 33-acre olive grove in prime wine country—the infinity-edge soaking pools overlook the vineyards. Each of the 50 one- and two-bedroom suites features a wood-burning fireplace, extra-large soaking tub and private terrace but, in 2014, the hotel unveiled Maison Biarritz, four retrofitted guest rooms inspired by the South of France that tout open-air showers and heated limestone floors. Meander hand-in-hand through the Ma(i)sonry Gallery, an outdoor sculpture garden dotted with 110 works by California artists, then indulge in spa treatments that incorporate mud, minerals, olive oil, grapes and fresh herbs—you can upgrade your pampering session with a wine pairing selected by the Michelin-starred restaurant’s sommelier.

Spanning 300 acres of woodlands and meadows just north of Woodstock, Twin Farms has 20 suites and cottages, each with a wood-burning fireplace and screened-in porch. Though each folk art-inspired dwelling is unique—boasting such details as hand-painted murals, maple and pine woodwork, antique quilts or four-poster beds—the Moroccan-inspired Meadow lodge is a particular stunner. It’s decked out with a mosaic-tile fireplace, ornate wooden screens and a glimmering colored-glass chandelier dangling from the tented ceiling. Choose a vintage from Twin Farms’ 15,000-bottle wine cellar—we recommend the house champagne—then take a dip in the clothing-optional furo, a traditional Japanese soaking tub heated to 104 degrees.

Wild Jackson, Wyoming is home to this stunning Grand Luxury hotel, outfitted in high design with wood and stone and ringed by the dramatic Grand Tetons.

It’s easy, too, to take in the views from the privacy of your room: they all have balconies or terraces with mountain vistas.
