Exciting new properties to explore by Tanner Saunders, Senior Hotels Reporter With just two days left of 2023, you probably already have your sights on where to travel in the new year. If you're as hotel-obsessed as we are, why not let our list of the best new hotels that opened in 2023 guide your plans? From a chic and budget-friendly motor lodge in the Smoky Mountains to a luxe all-inclusive resort hidden within another, there's truly something for everyone on the list, including family-friendly options, design-forward city stays and points hotels in far-flung places like the Galapagos. There's even a safari lodge you can book with Marriott Bonvoy points. And if you're curious about the best way to book those hotels, there are plenty of great cards to help you earn points for future trips, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, which lets you earn 5 points per dollar on travel booked through the Chase travel portal. Or, with The Platinum Card® from American Express, you can get elitelike perks and a $200 credit by booking many upscale hotels through Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts (enrollment is required). Cheers to many great trips in the year ahead! Posts in this newsletter contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers.
