For the Golfer: The Coeur d’Alene, Idaho

With a storybook landscape, year-round activities, and its spectacular setting at the shore of one of America’s most beautiful lakes, it is easy to see why Coeur d’Alene has been named the “Playground of the Northwest”, and the dream of every golfer.

For the Adventure-Seeker: Explora Patagonia, Chile

For hundreds of years, this was the end of the world for most. A destination people spoke in legends. Traveling to Patagonia meant sailing across one of the world’s most dangerous seas, which also meant making it there was luck, making it back was impossible. Five hundred years later, Patagonia continues to be a wild, unknown land at the end of the world, however, with a luxury hotel every discerning father needs.

For the Stylish traveler: Armani Hotel, Milano

The most stylish man alive has personally designed the hotel that most travel magazines call the epitome of a design hotel. With sleek decor and unparallel service, this hotel is the perfect spot to take your fashionista father for a well-deserved break.

For the Hippie Dog Lover: Wythe Hotel, Brooklyn

This hip new Brooklyn Hotel started with the discovery of a factory on the Williamsburg waterfront. The building was constructed in 1901 and has been converted into a 70-room hotel. Since one of the owners is the famous restauranteur Andrew Tarlow -Diner and Marlow & Sons- he quickly turned Reynards -the hotel’s restaurant- to an instant hit.

For the Wine Connoisseur: Bernardus Lodge, Carmel

Surrounded by the excesses every father likes, Bernardus is the ideal spot. Living in opulence of good wine and superb food is just the beginning. However, feather beds, cozy fireplaces and oversized bathtubs for two made me realize that this would be the perfect fathers day getaway for my parents, minus me.

For the classical traveler:

Smythson travel wallet has been my travel companion for more than 4 years. It is probably the best purchase I have ever made, therefore I highly recommend you getting one. It keeps my travel documents in order and my mind at ease.

For the stylish gal:

A gift certificate for this uber cool hair salon, Dry Bar, with locations all across the US is the ideal gift for someone like me. Every girl is obsessed with Dry Bar; not only for the free booze, but also for the girly environment and the A MA ZING blow-dries. This is perfect for the stylish girl on the go.

For the business traveler:

A subscription or credit for Uber would be my ideal gift. Needless to say it’s the app I spend the most time and money on. Forget about being stranded on the streets of an unfamiliar city. With the touch of a button, a black town car (or SUV) will pick you up in minutes. The best part? They always have a cold bottle of water and mints to enjoy before your next stop.

For the sleek traveler:

Frends headphones turn the sidewalk into a catwalk. They have several colors to choose from, but I personally love the white. For the eco traveler:

Traveling doesn’t necessarily mean hoping on a plane; a bike can also take you a long way, specially Gant City Bike. Explore your city and you will be amazed at the awesome spots you will discover. This limited-to-25 edition, single-speed cruiser bike features retro styling with hand stitched leather handlebars, a Brooks leather saddle with attached tool bag, hand-welded lugs, a sculptural LED headlamp, a unique enamel head badge, and large, off-white tires for a smooth ride.
