If you're hanging out for that Europe trip, or a visit to America, you might still have to wait a little while for Australia's international borders to reopen, and travel to become normal again.

Here, we've rounded up some epic local hotel stays that can have you feeling like you're in New York, Paris, Italy or even The Hamptons.
