Amazon Shoppers Say This Carry-on Set Is the Secret to Traveling for 3 Weeks Without Checking a Bag—From $65
Amazon reviewers say that's certainly the case for this organizational Bagsmart carry-on that they can reportedly squeeze several weeks' worth of stuff into. It even comes with a companion—a matching duffel bag that offers even more fee-free packing room—and the two-piece set is surprisingly affordable at $65, on sale for 13 percent off.
The highlight of this two-piece Bagsmart luggage set is the 20-inch hardside spinner. The shell is made of ultra-durable and scratch-resistant polycarbonate that keeps the suitcase light (just over six pounds) despite providing a tough shield for your belongings. It has a TSA-approved combination lock and can hold 35 liters of gear, thanks to an interior system of compression pockets and straps.
'We took this suitcase on a three-week (carry-on-only) trip to Italy,' wrote one reviewer. ''It's lightweight even when stuffed full.' This happy shopper also noted that the zippers were 'strong and smooth to pull' and that the multi-direction wheels 'held up on cobblestone roads and sidewalks as well as carpet, tile, [and] hardwood.'
A handful of other five-star reviews say they had no problem packing a whole week's worth of belongings into the suitcase of this matching set—and that's not including the extra packing space that comes with the duffel.
This travel bag measures slightly over the personal item size restrictions of most airlines, but the soft exterior gives it lots of flexibility, so you may still be able to jam it underneath the seat in front of you. For the extra 11 liters of packing space, it's definitely worth a try.
'These two cases are outstanding for quality, durability, and style,' one shopper wrote about this 'gorgeous' two-piece carry-on set. The hardside spinner has a fashionable wave-like exterior, and the matching duffel makes for a smart, compact gym bag or overnight bag. Another reviewer said the spinner is smaller and lighter than a higher-end suitcase they own, making it a better carry-on for international travel, due to varying size restrictions between airlines.
Inspired to pack lighter for your next flight? Snag the Bagsmart set now while it's 10 percent off the original $75 price tag, or keep scrolling for more luggage sets on sale at Amazon.
At the time of publishing, the price started at $62.

Behind The Gates: Rosewood London's Five-Star Summer Culinary Escape
Entrance to the Rosewood London Rosewood London While the highly anticipated opening of The Chancery Rosewood in the former US Embassy in London's Grosvenor Square finally arrives this September, the hotel brand's other London outpost - Rosewood London - continues to remind why it is one of the British capital's foremost hospitality destinations. Housed since 2013 in a gorgeous Edwardian-style structure on High Holborn Street near Covent Garden, the Rosewood London, like the city itself, truly amps up its game over the summer - and this summer is no exception. Among the property's true highlights is its exceptional dining scene— beloved by both discerning locals and hotel guests. The spectacular facade of the ultra luxurious Rosewood London. Rosewood London In celebration of Global Wellness Day Nathalie Schyllert and Ksenija Selivanova discuss health and wellness best practices at the Rosewood London. Erica Wertheim Zohar Known for its creative collabs, the Rosewood this summer unveils 'La Terrasse by Grey Goose' in its grand front courtyard. Now an annual summer tradition, past Rosewood pop ups have included La Veranda by Patron and Villa Minuty at Rosewood London (not to mention a recent winter pop up in conjunction with Ruinart Champagne). This summer's iteration is billed as 'an exclusive alfresco retreat, bringing the spirit of a French summer to the heart of London.' La Terrasse might not be enough to get you to cancel that trip to the South of France, but for hotel guests and Londoners alike it certainly provides a lovely escape, be it for a lunch or dinner of French cuisine, drinks featuring Grey Goose, or for any of the many events taking place there over the summer. I recently attended one such event celebrating Global Wellness Day which featured a breakfast in the summer terrace with Bodyism co-founder Nathalie Schyllert and a facial masterclass with author and founder of The Moments, Ksenija Selivanova. It was a gathering of London's most stylish women in a beautiful setting, all seeking to learn from these experts and to de-stress before starting a hectic day in the busy city. 'La Terrasse by Grey Goose' in the Rosewood London's grand front courtyard. Rosewood London Capturing the elegance of a French courtyard, La Terrasse features outdoor space adorned with white parasols, greenery, and stylish deep blue seating designed by Frederic Sofia and inspired by the iconic chairs found in Paris' Jardin du Luxembourg. The terrace is finished with matching blue awnings and classic shutters - achieving a modern take on classic French charm. The indoor restaurant at La Terrasse – set under a retractable roof with seating for up to 60 – is equally charming. The moules marinieres along with the signature drink the Spritz a la Peche – the perfect light summer cocktail - featuring Grey Goose, crème de peche, St. Germain, peach and jasmine soda. Rosewood London La Terrasse's menu, curated by Rosewood London's Executive Chef Fernando Corona in collaboration with the Holborn Dining Room's Head Chef Ilona Perczyk, is heavy on seafood, which is all sourced locally and caught daily. Highlights include the Dover sole meuniere, oysters, salad nicoise with confit tuna, and a trio of dishes that I tried - the moules marinieres, tiger prawns, and steak frites with Cafe de Paris butter. Tiger prawns is one of the highlights at La Terrasse. Erica Wertheim Zohar As delicious as the food was, however, the assortment of available Grey Goose signature cocktails was equally memorable – from the Mont Blanc Martini to the Zeste to the De Provence. My favorite was the Spritz a la Peche – the perfect light summer cocktail - featuring Grey Goose, crème de peche, St. Germain, peach and jasmine soda. Thanks to our wonderful waitress Sylvia, the 'Queen of the Terrace,' for pointing us in the right direction throughout our meal. The Great Wave off Kanagawa Rosewood London For those looking for a more traditionally British experience, Rosewood London has also recently unveiled its latest Art Afternoon Tea, a fantastic experience blending art, flavor, and culture, inspired by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. The experience in the hotel's Mirror Room begins with a selection of Japanese-themed savory bites. These include Japanese barbeque beef brisket and wasabi coleslaw sandwiches, sake marinated smoked salmon, and Japanese egg sandwiches.

Erica Wertheim Zohar Next comes a round of sweet treats, created by Executive Pastry Chef Mark Perkins, the artistic talent behind the tea's offerings. This serving features Japanese Yuzu Cheesecake, served alongside freshly baked scones, Cornish clotted cream, homemade lemon curd, and English strawberry jam. The tea ends with the grand finale – the Art Cakes – celebrating three of Hokusai's most celebrated works: Cherry Blossom and Warbler (1827), The Great Wave off Kanagawa (1831), and Thunderstorm Beneath the Summit (1830-1834). Each cake is presented inside an edible outer shell that depicts the landscape of Hokusai's work. The results are truly works of art in their own right.

Erica Wertheim Zohar Each course of the tea menu is accompanied by pairings of, well, tea. But not just any old tea – rather, an exclusive and extensive selection of mostly (but not exclusively) Japanese teas. The assortment of teas was nothing short of mindboggling, including various black, green, white, and yellow teas, as well as herbal, floral, and oolong teas, some very rare and unique, and each complete with a full description of its source, history, and characteristics. In short, the Art Afternoon Tea was over the top. Just be sure to arrive very hungry – and don't make dinner plans. Holborn Dining Room Seafood Counter by Faber featuring Ollie Bass & Ilona Perczyk. Rosewood London The Rosewood's most recent summer collab is its just-launched 'Seafood Counter' – an exclusive partnership with Ollie Bass, Executive Chef of the acclaimed, sustainability-focused restaurant Faber. Running throughout the summer, the Seafood Counter will reside in the center of the Rosewood's British brasserie, the Holborn Dining Room, and will showcase the very best of locally sourced British coastal ingredients, delivered directly from day boats and from trusted UK producers. Rosewood London's grand British brasserie, Holborn Dining Room, is pleased to introduce a new Seafood Counter in exclusive collaboration with Ollie Bass, Executive Chef of the sustainability- focused restaurant Faber. Rosewood London The counter will offer guests two ways to experience this coastal collaboration – via a la carte Faber dishes that will be available in the restaurant (including Maldon oysters, Chalkstream trout tartare, Dorset devilled crab, and John Dory) or via its eight- course British Shores Tasting Menu (which is also available with an optional English wine and drinks pairing). Each dish from the menu pays homage to the authentic tastes of the British coastline, from the farms of Pembrokeshire to the oyster beds of Essex. The tasting menu closes with a dessert of brown butter madeleines with dark chocolate, a traditional British seaside favorite. The cozy Scarfes Bar located in the Rosewood London with original art by Gerard Scarfe adorning the walls. Rosewood London If all that is not enough, guests at the Rosewood always have one of London's best bars to fall back on - Scarfes Bar. The charming Scarfes, known for its creative cocktails and nightly live music, has just unveiled its revamped drinks menu in time for summer - titled the Long Drawn Out Sip. The drinks are as delicious as they look and the bar's vibe makes it one of the hotspots in town. The entertaining menu at Scarfes Bar at the Roswood London. Erica Wertheim Zohar There are so many reasons why I fell in love with London this summer —wandering the colorful streets of Notting Hill, shopping at Selfridge's and the charming boutiques of Chelsea and Marylebone, taking in the incredible ABBA Voyage experience, Royal Ascot horse races and tennis tournaments - and somehow walking over 20,000 steps a day in the unseasonably warm weather. But what truly elevated the entire experience was returning each evening to the understated luxury and the hospitality of the Rosewood London.

This Wine Country Resort Feels Like a Modern Treehouse—and It Has Vineyard Yoga, Grazing Goats, and Gorgeous Valley Views
The modern, natural design of the property, from the rooms to the restaurants, is the epitome of non-fussy luxury. There are treehouse vibes in every room, with floor-to-ceiling windows, spa bathrooms, and furnished private balconies that invite the outdoors inside. Enjoy breathtaking vineyard views at farm-to-table-focused Hazel Hill Restaurant, the perfect spot for sparking romance and curing famished appetites. Montage Healdsburg is located in the heart of wine country close to charming towns like Santa Rosa, Windsor, and Geyserville, known for their vineyards and local eateries, so you can easily access all the area has to offer. There's a rare beauty in waking up to the reddish-orange glow of the morning sun over lush vineyards after a good night's sleep under a twinkling night sky. For those seeking a perfect balance of luxury, rest, and vino, the Montage Healdsburg provides the ideal place to unwind. The fire place and bar in the hotel lobby. christian horan/Courtesy of Montage Healdsburg This hotel is just a 90-minute drive from San Francisco, a journey that took us over the Golden Gate Bridge and into the rolling Sonoma Hills. Upon arrival, we were immediately taken by the property's design and aesthetic, which is perhaps best described as a rustic modern treehouse, with leafy views and warm, organic stone, wood, and copper accents. After a seamless check-in accompanied by a glass of locally made wine, we were given a checklist of what to see and do on the vast 258 acres of private property before being golf-carted to our cliffside deluxe suite that had unforgettable vineyard vistas. Meanwhile, Montage's attentive standard of service ensured an experience that felt bespoke and luxurious, and included everything from grapes to (believe it or not) goats and sheep. Here's what it's like to stay at Montage Healdsburg. There are 130 rooms at Montage Healdsburg, each a testament to the property's refined sense of design that doesn't compromise on cozy comfort. There are several accommodation types to pick from, ranging from the Vineyard Rooms that include a balcony with grape field or forest views, to the luxe, standalone Guest Houses, which span more than 4,600 square feet, and have three bedrooms as well as sweeping views of the property and Mount St. Helena. Every room, though, is stunning at Montage Healdsburg, regardless of which one you select, with indoor/outdoor flow incorporated into every unit. Hardwood floors and marble bathrooms with freestanding soak tubs exude quiet luxury, while natural materials like wood, stone, and copper accent each room. Some even have private fire pits on the balcony—perfect for cool evenings, gazing at the stars. The terrace of the Hazel Hill on property restaurant. Barbara Kraft/Courtesy of Montage Healdsburg Dining at Montage Healdsburg is an experience in itself, and there are three on-site restaurants. For poolside eats, head to Hudson Springs Bar & Grill offering coastal-inspired dishes. The halibut ceviche and crispy calamari are not too heavy, and felt refreshing after hours lounging in our beach chairs. The Cortez shrimp street tacos also packed a punch of flavor. For something even more casual, there's Scout Field Bar, a lobby bar with small plates. The main full-service restaurant is Hazel Hill, which is, according to my wife, the 'fancy schmancy' choice. Here, a California-French fusion menu utilizes local farm-to-table ingredients, and the seafood and breakfast dishes felt like the standouts to us. And, if you love ambiance, the restaurant's vineyard views were the most picturesque and romantic on the entire grounds. The vineyard-adjacent Yoga Garden is a peaceful setting for relaxing and stretching out the stress. Set among cabernet sauvignon vineyards, the yoga sessions at Montage Healdsburg skillfully blend mindfulness with nature. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or just starting like me, this one-hour class provided a pretty serene escape and an intimate way to connect with the hotel's surroundings. One caveat for all the parents: Yoga is only available to resort guests who are 16 years of age and over, so teens and children will have to sit this amenity out while visiting the resort. For those who prefer to stay active in other ways, there is hiking, biking, archery lessons, bocce, and pickleball, as well as a modern fitness center equipped with all the gym necessities. Interior of a spa treatment room. Christian Horan/Courtesy of Montage Healdsburg The 11,500-square-foot Spa Montage is a sanctuary of serenity, whose treatments reflect the region's natural beauty. After a morning walk of the property's 258-acre grounds, watching the goats and sheep doing their thing (they help keep weeds under control, which can compete with vines for water and nutrients), it felt heavenly to lie down and unwind with a massage. The spa uses locally sourced botanicals to enhance each massage, facial, or body therapy, and I was told by my wife (who enjoyed a facial) that Valmont Skincare products are used, a leader in Swiss cosmetics. While the resort does have just about everything you need on site, for those with cabin fever or the urge to explore, Healdsburg is about four miles away. This quaint, walkable town is known for its artisanal shops, tasting rooms, and farm-to-table restaurants. Eager for more wineries and restaurants? The hotel is only about an hour from nearby towns like Geyserville, California, and Santa Rosa, California, where you'll also find the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center, which is dedicated to the Peanuts creator. The nearest major airport is San Francisco International Airport (SFO), which is about 86 miles, or a two-and-a-half-hour drive. Though there are ride-hailing services available in the Healdsburg area, I recommend going the rental car route for convenience and ease. Montage Healdsburg is a part of Preferred Hotel Group, a program that represents independent luxury properties around the globe. If you reserve your stay through the Preferred Hotels website, you can earn and redeem points on your bookings. The hotel is also a part of American Express' Fine Hotels + Resorts. If you book your stay through Amex's travel site with a qualifying card, you can get fun perks like early check-in, late checkout, complimentary daily breakfast for two, and, if available, a room upgrade.
