Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay - Full-Time Travel

Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay

Tampa, Florida, USA

In a Nutshell:

Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay’s setting, on a 35-acre nature preserve, elevates it above your typical airport hotel (Tampa Bay International is a 7-minute drive away). Try bird watching along the boardwalk, spot manatees and dolphins from the boat dock, hike or bike the idyllic 9.5 bayside bike path or launch a kayak or paddleboard from the sunning beach.

EDITOR'S TIP: Rent a car. Although the hotel isn’t close to any walkable attractions you can reach Busch Gardens, historic Ybor City, The Florida Aquarium, the Dali Museum and more in around 20 minutes.

BRB, adding a stay at tswalu to our bucket list. With just two small camps and a private villa set on nearly 300,000 acres, South Africa’s Tswalu Kalahari Reserve is the standard for uncrowded safaris. Expect private game drives where you can walk with wild dogs, spot cheetah cubs playing in trees, hang out with a mob of meercats, and have the chance to see rare species like rhinos and pangolins.

Sometimes, over-the-top trips look like five-star hotels and private jets. Other times, it looks more like this: taking in the stars while on a guided horseback trek across Mongolia’s wild steppes, deserts, and mountains with pelorusx. What’s more your speed?

California’s Highway 1 is back in business after being closed through Big Sur for nearly two years — here’s what you can’t miss along the PCH:

🌊 Carmel-by-the-Sea: Stay in town at laplayaca or laubergecarmel, which offer easy access to shops, tasting rooms, and great restaurants. If you’re in the mood to golf, book a night at the historic Lodge at Pebble Beach.

🌊 Big Sur: Hit the trails at Point Lobos on your way out of Carmel, then soak up the iconic drive as you head to ventanabigsur or postranchinn.

🌊 Cambria & San Luis Obispo: Book a tour at the iconic Hearst Castle as you make your way out of Big Sur. Then, stay in charming Cambria at the whitewatercambria (we recommend getting up early, grabbing a coffee, and heading to Moonstone Beach to watch the surfers catch waves). Or, make your way just a little further south for a night in SLO, named one of the happiest cities in California.

🌊 Santa Ynez Valley & Santa Barbara: Cut inland for a day or two of wine tasting in Santa Ynez Valley (stay at sanysidroranch or matteistavernauberge), or head directly into Santa Barbara, where you can hop between tasting rooms on the Urban Wine Trail, soak up the beautiful beaches, and take in the Spanish-style architecture.

🌊 Malibu & Santa Monica: Many of Malibu’s trails, beaches, and hotels are open a year after the devastating Palisades Fire. Spend the night at one of them — you can’t go wrong with thesurfridermalibu or noburyokanmalibu), or make your way into Santa Monica.

🌊 Laguna Beach: Soak up the art scene and lounge by pristine beaches with a stay at casalomabeachhotel, montagelaguna or the new lepetitpali.

🌊 San Diego: For your last stop, spend a few days brewery hopping, touring the museums at Balboa Park, and wandering the city’s diverse neighborhoods. pendrysandiego and delcoronado are both great places to stay.

Whether you want to embrace the winter weather or are looking to escape it, these are the destinations that should be on your itinerary from now until March.

🇦🇹 Vienna: Head to the city from Jan-April for ball season to catch an opera or a very, very elegant night out

🌴 Palm Springs: Modernism Week returns to the desert from February 12-26

🏔️ French Alps: Skip the Olympic madness in the Dolomites and head to Les 3 Vallées, Europe’s largest (and perhaps most luxurious) ski area.

🇯🇲 Jamaica: Beloved resorts in hotspots like Ocho Rios, Negril, and Montego Bay have reopened after Hurricane Melissa, and visiting is one of the best ways to support the island nation as it recovers.

🇲🇽 Mexico City: There’s never a bad time to visit CDMX, but the temps are especially mild in January and February—perfect for long days wandering trendy neighborhoods.
