100 Layer Cake

First comes love, then comes marriage, then it’s time to jet off to somewhere hot, yes? But even once you nail down your destination, where to stay? Decisions, decisions.

Tablet hotel reviews is our little secret for finding and booking the best honeymoon spots ever. Srsly people… a stay in any one of the hotels on their list would be a dream vacay. Plus, their online booking process is a snap and if you have a question their customer service team has got you covered all day, everyday. Best prices guaranteed to boot.

So since we’re sure lots of you guys are planning your post-wedding getaways right now, we thought we’d share some of our choice luxury Tablet hotels to retreat to. Oh, and did we mention that there’s a sweet little giveaway in it for ya? Yep, one lucky 100 Layer Cake reader is going to win a three-night stay in a Poolside King Deluxe Room with Jacuzzi at Alcazar Palm Springs + $500 flight voucher —which you might recognize from this whimsical desert soiree we shared on Wednesday. (P.S. It would make pretty great anniversary trip too.)

Here are some of the pretty places you can book:

Calistoga Ranch, a modern luxury resort, is a highly exclusive destination–easily on a par with the world’s finest rural getaways. The lodgings are all sleek and modernist freestanding cottages, built off-site and shipped in, to minimize environmental impact. Rich hardwoods, Roman blinds and hefty white beds set the tone, and details like Italian linens, ultra-modern fixtures and custom-blended bath products add a sheen of high glamour. 

The Standard Miami Hotel & Spa is smart and stylish. The décor is familiarly modern, blending mid-century Miami modernism with Scandinavian furniture from the same period—a look that is back in style all round the world, but resonates that much more strongly so close to South Beach.

Sanctuary On Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa is a plush hipster getaway and ultra-discreet celebrity haunt. It’s all quiet spaces and smooth surfaces, set against the dramatic sandstone cliffs of Camelback Mountain. Clusters of contemporary “mountain casitas” serve as the resort’s most basic accommodation, all with marble bath fixtures, wood-block flooring, Mascioni linens, and high-speed internet access. The resort is spread out over tranquil, carefully manicured grounds, meaning that the neighbors’ stereo won’t bother you.

Alcazar Palm Springs is an attractive, whitewashed little Spanish-colonial boutique hotel, with the ever-present backdrop of the mountains just beyond. Intelligentsia coffee and fresh-baked pastries in the morning, some loafing on a poolside patio in the afternoon, and a good rest under Italian linens and fluffy down duvets by night. 

And now…
