The Airbnbs Our Editors Are Booking for 2026
"This year's travel plans are already taking shape for Condé Nast Traveler's jet-setting in-house team and while we're always on the lookout for the next bijou boutique or smart high-rise hotel to call home for a night, there are some situations where rentals are the smarter choice. There's something irresistible about having the privacy of your own space without the wake-up call from housekeeping knocking or neighbors thudding through thin walls."
"A homestay gives you room to take in a destination at your own pace and, in any case, many offer a slew of hotel-worthy amenities such as pools, outdoor kitchens, and full fleets of staff to attend to you and you alone. Between us, we're tackling North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa this year, and we've sought out perfect Airbnbs for our needs in even the most remote locales."
Vacation rentals often provide greater privacy and flexibility than traditional hotels, eliminating housekeeping interruptions and thin-wall noise. Homestays enable travelers to experience destinations at their own pace while offering hotel-quality amenities such as pools, outdoor kitchens, and full staffs. Rentals can be particularly valuable in remote locations where bespoke services and on-site facilities enhance the stay. Diverse options span continents and styles, from a Madeiran bolthole with a wraparound pool to a traditional Thai villa with a private chef. Rentals are a smarter choice when privacy, space, and personalized service are priorities.
