Trending Summer Travel Destinations 2025

Paris the perfect destination to make the most of longer days and abundant sunshine.

You can enjoy al fresco aperitifs and picnics along the Seine or by Canal Saint-Martin. Take a leisurely stroll through the city’s beautiful gardens — the Jardin du Luxembourg is a favorite, offering neatly trimmed greenery and a relaxed vibe, with locals sipping coffee or reading a book by the fountain. Also, don’t miss the charming Parc Montsouris in the 14th arrondissement, where joggers, birthday celebrations, and picnickers create a lively atmosphere.

La Fantaisie:

This delightful hotel, with its chic and feminine design, feels like stepping into a beautiful dollhouse, complete with patterned wallpapers, soft pastels, and floral touches. The intimate neighborhood and welcoming service make it feel like Paris’ hidden gem, effortlessly stylish and full of character.

Fora Reserve benefits include a €100 credit for food, beverages, or spa services, a complimentary bottle of Champagne, an upgrade, and extended check-in/out for stays of at least two nights.

Le Bristol:

Few hotels in Paris are as iconic as Le Bristol, which marks its centennial this year. With its timeless elegance, stunning garden, and rooftop pool, it truly stands out.

Fora’s Oetker Pearl partner perks include a €100 food, beverage, or spa credit, daily breakfast, access to the best room in the required category, and priority access to a courtesy car.

This summer, London’s calling.

The city’s energy is always high, but especially in the warmer months, when locals can be found lunching in pocket gardens, savoring midday ice cream and enjoying a pint (or two) at a quaint pub on a cobblestoned street. The city is also a jumping off point for exploring England’s countryside. It’s the perfect setting for an active vacation, whether you want to hike amid the Cotswolds or bike around the Yorkshire Dales. Regardless, I’ll design a personalized itinerary for you and your companions.  

Broadwick Soho: Embrace this buzzy boutique hotel’s posh whimsy, playful spirit and see-and-be-seen (in a fun way) vibe.

Rome is consistently one of our top-booked cities, and for good reason.
