Those fascinated by the legend of Bram Stoker’s Dracula may wish to host a themed event around the legendary tale.
In the capital of Bucharest, there are many grand five-star hotels. New luxury hotels such as the Marmorosch opened last year to help bring the city back to its former glory. In the countryside, guests can have many great excursions including truffle hunting. The bespoke agency Beyond Dracula has many signature tours to help visitors discover Romania.
Newport, Rhode Island
Fans of the fantastic period drama Gilded Age may wish to pay a visit to its setting. The city is also within reasonable driving distance from many northeast cities including Boston, Philadelphia, and New York, which makes it a great destination for an event.
This historic city in Rhode Island is an outstanding place to host a private event any time of year. To get the most for your money, host your event in one of the shoulder seasons, which is generally March through May and October through December. Vanderbilt is a wonderful historic hotel that will unveil 33 redesigned rooms in 2022. In May, the Sailing Museum opens with interactive exhibits surrounding the America’s Cup boats.

The Galapagos Islands are the holy grail of wildlife experiences and are considered a bucket list adventure by many. Now that international travel is opening, many hope to return to the archipelago.

The ship contains many luxurious amenities including complimentary champagne and caviar, and 24-hour room service. For those interested in family trips, Relais & Chateaux ships will debut in December with many itineraries focused on children and teens, as well as cultural exchanges.
Singapore
