Hmm, I don't recollect stunning beaches in Venice, Paris... but you can get to Fiji (check Fiji Denarau) via LAX, and they usually sell counter upgrades for the ten hour flight. Also good are Hilton properties in Moorea (or even Bora Bora, though that adds significant travel time and dollars with the interisland flights), though French Polynesia in August gets very crowded with French - August is nearly national holiday time in France.

Places we’ve stayed before that met those criteria would be Caribe Hilton, Conrad Maldives and Bali. Places that don’t fit the bill W+A Reach Resort Key West, Conrad Tokyo (loved the hotel), just not the right place for this kind of vacation and Doubletree Beachcomber South Beach.
Places I’m considering although some may seem to not fit the bill but I think she’d still love are…
Hilton Arc de Triomphe
Hilton Molino Stucky Venice
Hilton Nassau Bahamas
Hiltons in Spain
Oh other particulars that might help you help me
Trip is in Mid August- 4 nights
I will be using points and free night certs from Q1 Promo (so it must be in the Hilton Family)
Someplace I can get to in 1 ½ days of travel or less from SFO that is why Asia, Australia and Oceana are out of the question
Thanks for all your help FT Community
