Millennial pink is not only a shade, it's a way of life — and we take our love of color seriously. The hue, which has essentially blown up in the last year, has gained notoriety and a cult-like following via Instagram and Pinterest in the fashion and tech space. And these photos give an even stronger case for staying in a boutique hotel or frequenting a restaurant blanketed in the pale rosy tone. Allow us to point the way...
Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, Monaco: Just imagine this view... as you lounge in a sandy-bottomed lagoon that winds through the hotel's grounds. After an afternoon of relaxation, you can also partake in their Cinq Mondes spa, in-house casino, Michelin-starred restaurant Blue Bay, and outdoor bar Blue Gin, which has stunning views of the Mediterranean.

Pietro NoLita, New York, NY: Nolita's jewel box serves up regionally inspired Italian dishes, like homemade gnocchi with mushroom confit, and riccota meatballs with tomato sauce, in one very pink space — and we're not mad at it. (Photo via Pietro NoLita)
The Don CeSar, St. Pete Beach, FL:Great Gatsby vibes are all over this hotel — awash in pink — that dates back to 1928. It's also a National Historic Landmark and member of the Historic Hotels of America, but you'll realize why, once you step foot inside. (Photo via The Don CeSar)
Mattie’s at Green Pastures, Austin, TX: There's nothing like an afternoon spent sipping cocktails on Mattie's porch under the live oaks in Austin. Plus, their farm-fresh fare and formal pink dining room are just what your weekend calls for. (Photo via Mattie’s)
The Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills, CA: This archetypal property idolized by LA's glitterati — and made uber famous by Troop Beverly Hills — is where you go to get your glamping on, or to simply create the perfect 'gram, surrounded by 12 acres of tropical gardens.

Villa Rose-Pierre at Grand Hotel du Cap-Ferrat, Côte d’Azur, France: Something about living your best life on the French Riviera in this grand scale, 5,920-square-foot pink villa just makes sense. (Photo via Grand Hotel du Cap-Ferrat)

Big Pink, Miami Beach, FL: Brace yourselves: There's a "TV dinner special" on the menu at this retro-themed diner, which takes pink to the next level in the form of pink walls, pink menus, and a signature pink Volkswagen Beetle parked outside.

The Royal Hawaiian, Honolulu, HI: Check in to the "Pink Palace" of Waikiki for their acclaimed restaurants (the casual Surf Lanai and seafood-focused Azure), weekly luaus, Abhasa spa, and cabanas set in a garden oasis. Paradise happens here. (Photo via The Royal Hawaiian)
The Plymouth, Miami Beach, FL: Millennial Pink is everywhere from the moment you walk in here: pink pool chairs, white umbrellas & pink awnings, pink backboards on the bed, matching couches... It's like the dream hotel for Elle Woods and Eloise alike. (Photo via The Plymouth Miami Beach)
