Class of 2016: Stash Partner Hotel Superlatives

May 27, 2016.Reading time 8 minutes.

We often laud our partner hotels for being independent, unique, one-of-a-kind and extraordinary snowflakes that fall from vibrant double rainbows onto pure silica-sand beaches from Maine to SoCal, Washington to Panama. And we mean it. We love our partner hotels. All of them. Equally. In fact, if we could award each of our partner hotels with participation […]

2015 Partner Hotel Awards Recap

January 22, 2016.Reading time 6 minutes.

It’s no secret our partner hotels are authentic and personalized. That’s the mission. From rock star havens (Sunset Marquis) to off-the-grid Panamanian eco-adventure lodges (Casa Cayuco), from elite urban oases (Condor Hotel, The Lenox Hotel) and classed-up college town digs (The Hotel at Auburn University) to picturesque Maine-coast cottages (The Dunes on the Waterfront) and white sand beaches in the U.S. Virgin Islands (The Buccaneer), our partners exemplify our Travel Less Ordinary mantra. And we’re happy that Conde Nast Traveler readers, likely some of you, appreciate this mantra, too.

Save for the occasional bag of peanut M&Ms, I avoid eating at airports and on airplanes. And it’s not only because the food generally makes me feel like the before picture in an ad for heartburn and the price gouging is as absurd as the size of a large popcorn and Coke at the cinema. No. […]

5 Hotels with a Serious Green Vibe

September 8, 2014.Reading time 6 minutes.

As the child of a self-proclaimed “tree hugger”, I was raised to make a conscious effort to leave the world a little bit better than when I entered it. So I do my part when it comes to protecting our environment. I turn off the lights when I leave a room, I sort my recycling, […]

June 20, 2014.Reading time 9 minutes.

Mosquito bites, sunburn, Ray Bans, fireworks… nothing says summer more than making s’mores under a starry sky. But if s’mores say summer, what does your s’mores style say about you? Here we round up some different approaches to this molten dessert, and make some wild (and rigorously scientific) assumptions about you. The Traditionalist Kraft ®Jet-Puffed […]

Hotel for the Holidays

December 9, 2013.Reading time 6 minutes.

We like Grandma’s house for the holidays. Baking gingerbread men and stringing cranberry garlands around the tree while deer peep shyly in at the windows …. But let’s face it, there’s a lot to be said for a holiday with 24/7 maid service, the grandeur of a hotel lobby decked out for Christmas, and a […]

An Army of Tiny Rubber Penguins Cannot Fail

September 12, 2013.Reading time 2 minutes.

Sometimes a big idea needs a little rubber penguin to take it out into the world. Nobody here at Stash Hotel Rewards remembers who came up with Stashie, but a waddle of penguins (official phrase, we looked it up) arrived in the Seattle office one day and started poking around for liquor. We gently suggested […]
