Inviting bar at Kimpton Marlowe Hotel in Boston

Boston, MA

Boston’s summer energy is palpable during its shortest, warmest months. For the full picture of this historic yet ever-youthful town, explore both sides of the Charles River. In Cambridge, the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel is an urban oasis perfectly positioned for exploring MIT and Kendall Square's cafes and vintage shops. On Boston Harbor, InterContinental Boston is a beloved haven with floor-to-ceiling windows in rooms — the better to admire the waterfront.

Fire pit, palm trees, and the Pacific Ocean at Regent Santa Monica Beach

Los Angeles, CA

From the Hollywood Hills to the Pacific Ocean, the brightest stars in Los Angeles are its world-class culture, incredible restaurants, and natural beauty. Discover quintessential laid-back California luxury at Regent Santa Monica Beach, where you can experience chef Michael Mina’s cuisine at Orla before sinking into a plush pool cabana. Or opt for a cosmopolitan vibe at InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown in the West Coast’s tallest (and, dare we say, most spectacular) building.

Views from a guest room at InterContinental Toronto Centre

Toronto, ON

Canada’s Queen City shines in summer, when its park-lined neighborhoods are abloom and its islands beckon you to their sandy shores. Sitting pretty in Toronto's fashion-forward Bloor-Yorkville neighborhood, Kimpton Saint George is a restful retreat from the city’s bustle, gastropub included. InterContinental Toronto Centre, meanwhile, is an urban oasis in the city’s financial and tourism center. Its waterfront and city views are iconic; even the spa terrace overlooks the CN Tower.

City views from a guest room at Kimpton Hotel Vintage Portland

Portland, OR

Experience Portland at its warmest, and driest, in late summer and you’ll no doubt find yourself on the Willamette River for kayaking, paddle boarding, or fishing. Just south of downtown on a pedestrian riverwalk, Kimpton RiverPlace is the perfect place for an active stay, with an in-house yoga teacher. Kimpton Hotel Vintage Portland on Broadway leans into Portland’s artistic side with graffiti-inspired art, urban tasting room Bacchus Bar, and a game lounge for adults.

Warm lighting and lobby seating at InterContinental San Francisco

San Francisco, CA

As one of the most iconic stops along ocean-hugging Highway 1, San Francisco is nearly synonymous with West Coast road trips. After your time in the car, seize the opportunity to stretch your legs on the city’s storied hills as you explore its eclectic neighborhoods. Check into InterContinental San Francisco to enjoy a SoMa location, or stay at Kimpton Alton Fisherman’s Wharf for a spirited perch on the waterfront and standout meal at Abacá.

A New Orleans streetcar passes the entrance of InterContinental New Orleans

New Orleans, LA

New Orleans is hot in the summer, sure, but so is its festival and arts scene. Cool off with an icy, creamy sno-ball and wander the Mississippi’s most mystical city. On the edge of the French Quarter, InterContinental New Orleans is a respite with an inviting rooftop pool. Nearby, Kimpton Hotel Fontenot is a modern take on NOLA indulgence. Grab a summer specialty drink at Gospel Coffee and Boozy Treats or a cocktail from the 19th-century bar at the boisterous Peacock Room.
