Greydon House is one more gorgeous boutique hotel in central Nantucket, Cape Cod, part of the Nantucket Historical District, though the property doesn’t really give the salty sea captain vibe you might expect. No, instead, the house takes its inspiration from the wide-ranging travels of the whaling trade for an eclectic design scheme that is no less appealing for being diverse. Indeed, the bespoke headboards, hand-painted imported tile, intricately patterned bed linens, retro phones and antique tables work perfectly to create something unique, chic and inviting. If you want 1800s… > Read Our Full Review
This small, Downtown hotel is one of the most exciting newcomers to the Cleveland hotel scene. The building is an old one, formerly the Fidelity Mortgage building or the Baker Building, having overseen over a century of Cleveland’s history. And one might forget, looking at the past decades, that Cleveland was one of the auto boom’s first urban darlings. While this influence can be seen in many different parts of the city (the Museum of Art, for example), the Fidelity Hotel has done a splendid job pushing the city’s ‘old… > Read Our Full Review
What’s not to like about a stylish boutique hotel with a fascinating cultural past just a few feet from Venice Beach? From the location to its history of iconic guests (it was built all the way back in 1915), Venice V Hotel is an opportunity to experience some of the best of LA: sun, sea, fashion, street culture, and character. What are the rooms like? Views: All 34 rooms have an ocean view, from partial to full Pacific panoramas. Choices: Standard rooms, suites, or unique rooftop bungalows themed after… > Read Our Full Review
Hilton’s ‘Graduate’ hotels, a line of accommodation set in famous uni towns, are universally admired, and this, their boutique hotel in New Haven, keeps up the good work. A nice balance of chic decor and comfortable furnishings situated in a 1890s hotel, the renovations to the space are award-winning, with good reason. It’s the glamour of Yale with none of the work, which is just what a vacation in New Haven calls for. From the outside, it’s a gorgeous pale brick building with contrasting dormers and an elegant mansard roof…. > Read Our Full Review
Hotel St. George has the style and the substance. It’s an expanse of design luxury in a stunner of a historic building. It’s a tad too large, we’ll admit, for a boutique hotel, but that’s Helsinki for ya. Since the size comes hand-in-hand with the type of architecture, though, we’re more than happy to accept. The building in question has a long and storied history. Finished in 1890, it was used as a publishing house and as headquarters for many cultural societies before its transformation into a hotel. It’s all… > Read Our Full Review
The Maritime Hotel, Chelsea, is a 1960s build, retro charmer, covered in porthole-esque windows that look like something out of a Soviet propaganda video for kids. The interiors, however, really draw you in. We’re talking lush balconies, wood paneling, all of the books, and some stunning mural work in the lobby. It does have a ship-like quality to it. The views aren’t limited to round windows; additional floor-to-ceiling glass provides plenty of natural light. Yet, there’s something special about seeing the NYC skyline through (extra large) peepholes that we love…. > Read Our Full Review
This art-forward Winter Park, Orlando boutique is still very much a Florida hotel, and much bigger than we’d usually go for. The architecture screams, ‘I was built after 2000, but don’t I look a little bit like an Italian Villa?’ And it does look a little like an Italian Villa, if they typically built villas for 150+ people in the middle of upscale mixed-use development projects. The mixed-use development is connected to Rollins College, created alongside the lovely Rollins Museum of Art. It’s a killer location for anyone who likes… > Read Our Full Review
Le Grand Mazarin in the 4th arrondissement embraces colour, pattern and Mediterranean warmth, and has a far more playful personality than most luxury hotels in Paris. It draws heavily from the Eastern Mediterranean, which shapes both its design and cuisine. Of course, there’s plenty of French Mediterranean too, but touches of Turkish and Italian add a cosmopolitan sense that’s fresh and likeable. Mostly, however, the hotel feels lush and luxurious. It’s dedicated to comfort and elegance, but with plenty of artistic freedom. We particularly love the ceiling murals which make… > Read Our Full Review
Finding a mansion-turned-hotel is not hard to do in historic Newport, but one as charming as the Cliffside Inn can be elusive. Perched on the beginning of the gorgeous Cliff Walk, it’s one of three Lark Hotel properties in the city. And here again this local New England hotel brand offers style and sophistication. It’s a fairly common tale for an upscale Newport property – in 1876 a nearby Governor built a Victorian-style mansion to ‘summer’ in. It was briefly converted into a schoolhouse, but a beautiful house in Newport… > Read Our Full Review
This Old Naples boutique homage to corporate and commercial chic is where you want to be for an earnestly Florida vacation. A glowing mall entrance gives way to a bright white entryway studded with giant chandeliers and all of the orchids. Staying right on 5th Ave is a nice catch; the neighborhood is perfect for a deep dive into the glossier parts of Naples city life. Think white, in every sense. Sparkling cleanliness yields not much personality, but it’s great for that luxurious vibe. The pool is a sea of… > Read Our Full Review
Just moments from Saint Mark’s Square, Nolinski Venezia offers an even more polished than average take on the luxury Venice city break It’s part of the French hospitality group Evok, whose boutique hotels have quietly established themselves in some of Europe’s most charming cities. Style-wise, it goes for neither the truly historic nor the contemporary. It sits somewhere mid-20th-century, and is never less than elegant. Classic dark woods and brass are woven throughout, and though it isn’t exactly big, and you’d never accuse it of being extravagant, Nolinski Venezia has… > Read Our Full Review
Forget what you know about brownstones, small boutique hotels and human-sized architecture. This eye-catcher of a high-rise will expand your notions of what modern Brooklyn’s all about. Normally, we’d find a building this big in a place like Williamsburg to be more than a little cringe. Even as a hotel, it’s a bit bigger than we’d like. We can’t promise the same level of intimate care that smaller hotel would provide. Yet, this star-destroyer of a hotel still has great appeal. It’s post-industrial from the outside, almost a Centre Pompidou… > Read Our Full Review
This idyllic retreat, less than an hour south of Seville, puts you halfway to the coast and fully into relaxation mode. Hacienda de San Rafael is a super-intimate hotel, with only 14 rooms, but occupies the entirety of an old olive estate. The concept was born in 1989, after the building, and presumably its surroundings, had fallen into disrepair. The current collection of wood beams, thatched roofs, and lush gardens emerged through an incredibly thoughtful renovation. The owners were dedicated to maintaining the original spirit of the estate, and now… > Read Our Full Review
Between the crooked streets of Edinburgh’s Old Town and the open avenues of its New, The Balmoral nicely reflects the city’s particular blend of historic and contemporary. Anyone who has so much as peeped at Edinburgh before will know this landmark Victorian building, originally built as a railway hotel. It’s bigger than we usually like our boutique hotels. But The Balmoral an Edinburgh icon, and the size of the building belies the size of the hotel. Much of the space is devoted to top-notch facilities, and hospitality is so on… > Read Our Full Review
This inside-out boutique hotel beauty is one of Downtown Des Moines’ most eye-catching places to stay. The 1913 Beaux-Arts building alone is a head-turner, but once you get inside, we’re pretty sure you’ll want to stay. Originally an office building for insurance companies, the interior has been converted into a mid-century but modern gem. It’s a gorgeous blend of contemporary luxury and classic comfort, all buttery leather and white coffered ceilings. Anyone who likes historical charm and elegance, but modern luxury, won’t find a better place in Des Moines. And,… > Read Our Full Review
This famed Upper East Side, NYC boutique hotel is a shoo-in for any New York hotel list, a real celebrity in hospitality circles. It sometimes gets criticized as overrated, but how could it not be? There’s hype around The Carlyle. We’re talking A-list guests, particularly in the field of music, Met Gala fashion, etc.; it’s a scene all unto itself. We can see how this might not appeal to all boutique hotel enjoyers, though. With just shy of 200 rooms, it’s much larger than we usually like, and has a… > Read Our Full Review
This stunning boutique hotel, in an iconic building in Downtown Detroit Michigan, first opened in 2014 as the Aloft at the David Whitney. The pandemic, however, lead to its transformation into the more simply titled, Hotel David Whitney, a current jewel in Marriott’s Autograph Collection. It is Detroit’s Grand Hotel, a monument to the grandeur of the city’s era of prosperity and opulence. The building is one of the few left in the city by the famed architecture firm Daniel H. Burnham & Co. Unfortunately, it no longer sports the… > Read Our Full Review
A rather ecclectic option right between Fondaudège and Quinconces, this 5-star boutique hotel isn’t quite what you’d expect from the outside. Unless, of course, you’d have expected fuzzy chairs and the colour palette of a Provençal hedge witch. From blobby animal sculptures to some stunning hammered copper, there’s a 50/50 split between whimsy and elegance that’s hard to match. There’s no lack of luxury, either. Yndo boasts fine linens, culinary delights and a top-notch staff dedicated to ensuring you have a great holiday. There’s a certain amount of sultry gloom… > Read Our Full Review
Longemalle is a fresh, luxurious Geneva boutique hotel in a grand old mansion house worthy of a lakeside setting. It doesn’t have the lakeside setting though it does have the lake (and great lake views from the rooftop), and the lovely Jardin Anglais just up the street. It’s very much luxury hotel but just short of 5 star too. Both these factors make Longemalle’s rates, relatively speaking for Geneva, very reasonable. The building was completely renovated in 2019, and inside you have handsome, straightforward furnishings, and friendly, well trained staff…. > Read Our Full Review
The Beaumont Hotel in Mayfair has its own version of Art Deco-y chic that’s part posh London part early 20th century LA. The luxury goes without saying, and there’s that glam magic of the ’20s still casting its spell. As a hotel it’s a little more polished than distinctive maybe, particularly the rooms, but everything is cohesive and quietly confident. The city takes over in a way; small and self-contained, The Beaumont blends neatly into Mayfair, central London’s most exclusive enclave. What are the rooms like? Rooms: 101 in… > Read Our Full Review
Despite a propensity for trendy phrases and a general feeling of a non-place, the Tampa EDITION reigns as one of Downtown Tampa’s most breathtaking hotels. The Marriott-backed chain clearly has a fantastic architectural design team; both the building and its decor are on point. It’s definitely on the large side for us, and they’re probably gunning for buzzword-happy tech money over the pug-toting boutique crowd. Yet, we still think it’s worth a glance; there’s probably a lot of overlap anyway. It’s hard to overlook a place with a veritable jungle… > Read Our Full Review
You’ll find Boutique Hotel F6 on one of Helsinki’s very orderly streets near the harbour, an orderly building with perfectly arranged striped awnings over each window. The interior is equally put-together, with an additional feeling of squishy welcome courtesy of an inner courtyard that looks like it belongs to Emma Mackey in Barbie. There’s a retro charm to the situation, paired with the surreal quality of the floor-lamp-esque outdoor lights and the orangey ‘ground’. It sounds like it could be weird, and it is, but just a little, and weird… > Read Our Full Review
It’s not hard to see why this Downtown Oklahoma City hotel is an attractive option. The building alone is worth the price tag, which is fairly reasonable, all things considered. Comfort, revelry and more are housed in the city’s old Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant, a phenomenal mix of red brick, giant windows and gorgeous stonework. In general, the decor is a mix of southern charm and whitewashed post-industrial hip. It gives uncohesive more than eclectic, in our opinion, but it’s still cute and welcoming. There’s also plenty to do,… > Read Our Full Review
Those of us outside of The City don’t really hear as much about NoMad as we do the Upper East Side, the Village, or even Williamsburg. Yet, this greenery-filled hotel in the neighborhood north of Madison Square is so charming, and popular with locals as well as guests, we couldn’t leave it off our list. It’s truly not a bad area for exploring Manhattan at all, but the location isn’t the sticking point here. MADE Hotel is a bright, contemporary design hotel, the likes of which are not as easy… > Read Our Full Review
Bowie House is a striking wood and glass construction managed by Auberge Resorts, and every inch of this boutique hotel is designed to impress. It’s a beautiful balance of creature comforts, southern hospitality, and touches that are pure Texas without feeling gimmicky. They whisper Texas, all sultry-like, in horns hung on the walls, dynamic horse sculpture, and the odd calfskin. As expected, amenities are all top-notch and well-managed. Windows do a stellar job of catching the Texas sun, service is easygoing and helpful. The art is notably spectacular, lifted as… > Read Our Full Review
The Mercer, one of the first boutique hotels to key in on the attraction of SoHo, is now a fixture in Lower Manhattan A hotel since 1997, this 1890 Romanesque revival building’s archways and red brick are the building blocks of an upscale NYC hotel. Elegance is the watchword here, with a seamless melding of traditional architecture and modern minimalism. It’s a quiet kind of luxury that will never really go out of style. It’s a chance to dip your toes into the charm of the New York loft, though… > Read Our Full Review
Tucked off of Route 9 next to the gorgeous Schroon Lake, this boutique hotel and lodge is the perfect place for some serious nature time. A small collection of buildings, headed by a Main Lodge, welcome you to a large property with a long history of hospitality. The original property, the Brown Swan Lodge, has undergone a series of additions, renovations and reinventions over the years. One small, sweet 1919 clapboard building has grown tremendously into the welcoming encampment you find today. The original focus of the resort has also… > Read Our Full Review
Hip designs can be nice, and sometimes we want something a little whimsical, but good old-fashioned indulgence is classic for a reason. The Rittenhouse is a Philadelphia Center City boutique hotel that offers just that kind of timeless luxury. Its par excellence is mainly backed by years of top-notch service, meaning a stay at The Rittenhouse places you among a pantheon of discerning Philly hotel-goers. Seriously, find us another hotel here that will chauffeur you around town in a Jaguar for free. The current hotel building encompasses the original Beaux-Arts… > Read Our Full Review
There’s a huge amount of historical weight at the Hotel Chelsea aka The Chelsea Hotel, being as it was the center of many an artistic community through the rise of Pop Art, Folk and New York rock and roll. After that kind of traffic, as a hotel, it probably needed a bit of breathing room and a new look. Fast forward to 2022 and, after years of legal wrangling, and various renovations, it entered its new life as a luxury boutique. We certainly do mourn the old grunge of it… > Read Our Full Review
If you like a little drama to spice up your travel, this Central Oslo boutique hotel is undoubtedly the place to be. Like many a Nordic boutique hotel, Hotel Christiania Teater is on the large side. The rule of thumb is that the larger the hotel, the less personable it is, and the less unique. But we’re presenting this one as a strong exception. In renovating this 1918 theatre, hotel owners opted for a small menagerie of luxury spaces rather than the traditional 100+ identical rooms and suites. It’s a… > Read Our Full Review
Brimming with personality at every point, this extravagantly decorated adobe building near Downtown Santa Fe’s Historic District, Barrio de Analco, is a truly unique, independent, boutique hotel. Part of an extensive family legacy of worldwide art collecting, the Five Graces showcases many of the exquisite pieces collected by owners Ira and Sylvia Seret. They began their collection in Afghanistan, but the property is adorned in gorgeous work from around the globe. You’ll find the classic Santa Fe kiva fireplaces next to stunning miniatures, intricately carved stone lattice screens next to… > Read Our Full Review
So much luxury hoteliery, in South Beach, Miami, is plush curtains, gilded bed frames, antique furniture, and the like. We think it’s nice to get a break sometimes, and this Asian-Deco, South Beach facing, boutique hotel might just be it. The black granite, wooden slats, and geometric lights contrast beautifully with the usual yawn, so opulent, yawn of typical Miami luxury hotels. Authentic Far-East artifacts then, amplify a museum-quality reverence that permeates the Setai but amid all the exotic, Asian-inspired glamor The Setai’s real pampering lies in the essentials. What… > Read Our Full Review
We’ll be honest, Times Square isn’t exactly where we expected to find one of our top Manhattan boutique hotels. And we doubt we’re alone in this. We invite you to join us for humble pie at the Public House bar. Goes down great with a pint of Guinness on draft. From the stone facade to the marble-topped bar and hardwood floors, everything feels more classic boutique hotel than Midtown tourist hub. Indeed, finding a boutique this intimate, with such classic charm, in Manhattan isn’t easy. This is no hyper-contemporary skyscraper;… > Read Our Full Review
A good majority of boutique hotels in West Hollywood were built in the 1920s, the height of Old Hollywood’s opulent glamour. Palihotel West Hollywood has only been around since 2008, and in its current location since 2022, so if you want something more contemporary well, this may just be it. More contemporary it may be but when it comes to interior design the Palihotels of LA certainly do like their retro. The West Hollywood branch follows much the same formula: eclectic, with lots of mixed design elements, and much that… > Read Our Full Review
