10 luxury hotels for a Mother’s Day escape
Let’s be honest - mom deserves more than just a card and a hastily booked brunch. This is her day. The woman who somehow survived your teen years, your 'finding yourself' years and maybe even your move-back-home years. This Mother’s Day, skip the scented candles and give her the kind of gift that says, “I get it now.”
We’re talking a Mother’s Day getaway with plush robes, five-star spas, afternoon tea served with actual silverware and a view that doesn’t involve laundry piles. One of the best things to do for Mother’s Day is a trip with a luxury hotel getaway and she’ll love these options we’ve picked out for you.
Here’s where to whisk her away for the most unforgettable Mother’s Day trips yet.
The Peninsula - New York, NY
If mom’s idea of paradise includes Fifth Avenue shopping, skyline views and a rooftop bar that makes you feel like you’re in a movie, The Peninsula is it. This luxe Midtown escape is equal parts glam and calm - perfect for a Mother’s Day that’s all silk robes by day and Champagne toasts by night. Whether she’s getting pampered at the spa or people-watching from the rooftop, she’s living her best New York City life.

The Setai - Miami Beach, FL
There’s luxury and then there’s Miami Beach luxury, and The Setai absolutely nails it. This sleek oceanfront stunner blends Art Deco glamour with serene Asian-inspired elegance. It’s the sort of place where mom can spend the morning at the spa, the afternoon sunning herself by one of three infinity pools, and the evening sipping cocktails under the stars.
But the real crown jewel? The special event brunches. Classic breakfast favorites alongside incredible Asian dishes (yes, you can have pancakes and dim sum), served in a setting so chic it could be a Vogue shoot. And yep, they do these on Mother’s Day.

If your mom’s more jazz and beignets than facials and fluffy robes, Maison St. Charles might just hit the sweet spot. Tucked along the historic St. Charles Avenue streetcar line, this charming boutique hotel feels like a best-kept secret in the Big Easy. Think wrought-iron balconies, a peaceful courtyard with a fountain, and a vibe that’s more relaxed Southern charm than full-on glitz. It’s perfect for a Mother’s Day escape that’s all about personality - laid-back, soulful and just the right amount of quirky. Also, a great budget-luxury option, which always helps.

For the mom who loves long walks, salty breezes and no stress whatsoever, this is the jackpot.

The Langham - Chicago, IL
There are city hotels, and then there’s The Langham. Towering above the Chicago River with views for days, it’s a haven of calm in the middle of the buzz.

Big Cypress Lodge - Memphis, TN
For the mom who’s done the classic spa weekends and seaside escapes and now wants something different, Big Cypress Lodge is it. Set inside the giant Bass Pro Shops Pyramid (yes, a literal pyramid), this place is like stepping into a luxury treehouse-meets-hunting-lodge fantasy - complete with indoor cypress trees, duck decoys and the kind of rustic-chic décor that’ll have her snapping pics before she’s unpacked.
There’s a bowling alley that looks like it was carved out of a forest, a massive observation deck with Mississippi River views, and even a spa tucked away in all that wilderness-meets-retail madness. Everything the fun-loving mother needs.
Price: From $375 per night
Pendry West Hollywood - Los Angeles, CA
Cool, stylish and right on Sunset Boulevard - this is the hotel for mums who like a bit of buzz. Pendry mixes Hollywood glam with laid-back California flair: rooftop pool, Wolfgang Puck dining, and a spa that’ll make her forget she even has a group chat. She can celeb-spot over brunch or just enjoy the view from her suite. Either way, it’s giving A-list energy.
Price: From $500 per night
The King and Prince Beach Resort - Sea Island, GA
This Georgia gem is all charm and golden-hour views. The King and Prince offers beachfront elegance without the snootiness - perfect for a relaxed Mother’s Day with a sea breeze on the side. Whether she's lounging by the oceanfront pool or exploring the island’s cute boutiques, it’s a low-key paradise wrapped in Southern warmth.

The Chanler - Newport, RI
If your mom has a soft spot for dramatic coastal views and Gilded Age elegance, this one’s going to knock her slippers off.

Each suite is uniquely styled (think Renaissance or Louis XVI vibes), and the service is so attentive it’s like they read her mind. She can enjoy high tea on the veranda, wander through Newport’s mansions, or simply sit with a glass of wine and watch the Atlantic roll in.
