memorable
Hard to forget
Memorable describes something worth remembering or likely to be remembered: a memorable performance, a memorable vacation.
The word implies positive distinction—experiences, occasions, or achievements that stand out from the ordinary.
Something can be memorable for bad reasons too, though unforgettable often handles that work: a memorable disaster.
