Your summer travels are about to take on a more refined quality, courtesy of an unlikely collaboration between Hartmann — widely recognized as America’s oldest luxury luggage brand, having outfitted the likes of Babe Ruth and Woodrow Wilson on their voyages — and The Beatrice, Providence’s #1 luxury hotel with a little under 50 rooms. This joint venture becomes more and more likely, though, once you consider the partners’ similarly enduring legacy, rich heritage, and the effortless elegance embedded into their respective DNA.

Available for stay dates until August 31, the “Rhode to Everywhere” package grants sophisticated globetrotters firsthand access to Hartmann’s just-arrived Reserve collection for women and encourages them to relish one of the most enduring beacons of American culture — the boundless road, romanticized and immortalized by Kerouac and Whitman alike.

For a limited time only, guests dropping anchor at The Beatrice, located centrally in the city’s historic downtown, can choose to elevate their experience with an added layer of chic — receiving a two-piece travel set from Hartmann’s latest release upon arrival (a thoughtfully designed backpack and a toiletry kit), after which they’ll be greeted by a welcome package in their room containing eco-conscious beauty essentials from Gilchrist & Soames’ BeeKind; cashmere sleep socks from Matouk (one of our editors’ favorite bed linen destinations); a hotel-branded baseball cap; a handy field guide to Providence, calling out iconic sites like the country’s first Baptist church and the statue-laden sanctuary that is the Athenaeum library; plus a copy of “Rhode Island Food Crawls” to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.

Also part of the “Rhode to Everywhere” curation? A summer reading list made for “long afternoons and unhurried evenings,” spotlighting a fresh author for every month of summer (we won’t spoil the surprise, seeing as how you’ll locate the relevant book tucked into your Hartmann bag).

Don’t forget to scan the QR code on the accompanying postcard, revealing a custom road trip playlist that will send you off on your Rhode Island adventure with an indulgent mix of oldies and contemporary hits.

Your journey will also be powered by the lunch box staff will assemble for you come morning — sourced from the on-site, Cipriani-established restaurant Bellini (named after the founding family’s peach bellini invention). We recommend enjoying it on the provided picnic blanket, preferably under the wide stretch of a startlingly blue sky.

“More than a getaway, the experience is designed as a modern American road trip, shaped not by itinerary, but by instinct, curiosity, and the enduring romance of discovery,” The Beatrice shared in a statement.

If you ask us, this partnership was written in the stars. Even the numbers aligned, with the Samsonite-owned Hartmann launching its line of trunks in 1877 and The Beatrice operating inside a building raised just 10 years later.

Whereas Hartmann’s signifiers of dedicated craftsmanship are evident in every stitch, timeless silhouette, and choice of materials, The Beatrice’s attention to detail touches aspects from the cocktail lineup offered in its members-only rooftop bar to the special amenities found all over its spacious, sunny rooms (we’re talking heated toilet seats, bidets, towel warmers, bathroom speakers, and “fit kits” for guests who want to stay committed to their wellness goals).

But in case you’re not planning on finding your way over to the state known for its Gilded Age mansions, intellectual wealth, endless miles of coastline, and colonial-era significance anytime soon, at least let “Rhode to Everywhere” inspire you to stock up on Hartmann’s most recent travel solutions.

Besides the aforementioned picks, Hartmann has answered the requests of its most discerning customers by rolling out — quite literally — the bestselling Reserve Carry-On, now complementing the new Reserve Carryall Tote and Reserve Waist Bag.

Hartmann’s summer 2026 product expansion can be thought of as a unified travel system, what with the pieces’ matching cotton-twill finishes, classic colorways like Ecru and Midnight Navy, and leather flourishes.
