The Setai

The long-awaited opening of the Setai is some of the biggest news to hit the South Beach hotel scene in a while. This is a town that’s not exactly hurting for over-the-top luxury accommodations, but the Setai manages to set itself apart by being even more over-the-top than the competition. ...

The Shoreham

It’s hard to get more old-school Manhattan than the Shoreham’s midtown location. On 55th between 5th and 6th it’s close by to the park, Rockefeller Center, Times Square and the theatre district, as well as some of be best upscale shopping in the world along 5th Avenue. Until recently i...

The Sky Hotel

Stylish ski hotels are rare enough, and all the more so in Aspen, where the local style tends toward a fairly conservative overstuffed-armchairs-and-stone-fireplaces sort of luxury look. The Sky Hotel is the first hotel in town to try to change all that, and its efforts haven’t gone unnoticed — f...

The St. Regis Aspen

Aspen’s days as a sleepy ski town are decades behind it — today it’s well-known as a playground for the rich and famous from all across America. As such, it demands world-class luxury accommodation, an area in which the St. Regis does not disappoint. The location is phenomenal, at the ...

The St. Regis New York

New York’s cutting-edge boutique hotels get a lot of well-deserved attention. But it’s worth remembering that there’s a classic side to this city as well — alongside the funky downtown boutiques, this town is also home to some century-old gems, among them John Jacob Astor’s landmark St. Regis, on...

The Standard Hollywood

About the Standard Hotel Hollywood:The first of the cheap chic Standard Hotels from Andre Balazs, the Standard Hotel Hollywood is an affordable boutique hotel located on Sunset Blvd. between Crescent Heights & La Cienega Blvd. in Los Angeles. Tablet Hotels review<b...

The Standard Hotel Downtown LA

It wasn't so long ago that downtown Los Angeles after six P.M. was a ghost town. This is the case no longer, and it's thanks in no small part to the Downtown Standard — in particular, the rooftop bar, with its astroturf, topiary gardens and waterbed loungers, a fixture on the downtown nightlife s...

The Standard Hotel New York

About the Standard Hotel New York: The Standard New York is a hip, boutique hotel in the trendy Meat-Packing area of New York. The latest creation from hotelier Andre Balazs, the Standard New York sits atop the High Line (the large renovation project that aims to turn old elevated railw...

The Standard Miami

Please note: Children under 14 years old are not permitted on the property. The long-awaited Standard Miami is here — and anyone who anticipated a carbon copy of the LA Standards will be in for a bit of a surprise. Still intact is the budget-chic philosophy — itself enough to ra...

The Surf Lodge

Please note: The Surf Lodge will be closed October 4, 2009 through Spring 2010. Plenty of New Yorkers seem to think Long Island ends at the Hamptons — and the people of Montauk would like to keep it that way. The Surf Lodge isn’t meant to be an extension of the stretch-limo sce...

The Talbott Hotel

Though it’s easy enough to forget, there’s no law of nature that says a small, independently owned urban boutique hotel has to look like something out of a design competition. The Talbott Hotel, on Chicago’s Gold Coast, is a throwback to another era, in this case the 1920s, a time before multinat...

The Tides South Beach

The Tides towers over South Beach, a 12-story monolith in gleaming white, vaguely nautical, like a moored cruise ship, complete with telescopes in the guest rooms for scanning the high seas (surely nobody uses them just for watching the girls on the beach). Distinctly un-ship-like in their spacio...

The Veranda House

Please note: The Veranda House cannot accommodate guests under the age of 10 years old. Though it’s been here for ages, the Veranda House is anything but starchy. This 19th-century house, long known as the Overlook, has been in the family forever, but the new generation of owne...

The Viceroy Miami

It’s almost implicit when you’re talking about Miami hotels that you’re really talking about Miami Beach, and most often South Beach in particular. So it may bear some spelling out: the Viceroy is in downtown Miami — as in, on the mainland, surrounded by tall buildings, trading easy beach access ...

The Wauwinet

Please note: The Wauwinet Inn is open May 14th - Oct. 12th. The Wauwinet Inn is remarkable for how near it gets to the Platonic ideal of the perfect Nantucket holiday, an ideal whose earthly incarnations are all too likely to be spoiled by the omnipresent signs of mass market to...

The White Elephant

In the small world of seaside New England, Nantucket looms pretty large. The island is one of the region’s most storied destinations, and the White Elephant, by virtue of its privileged position in town on Nantucket Harbor, is one of its central attractions. It’s more or less everything you’d wan...
