Korakia Pensione

Korakia does not allow children under the age of 13. There’s more to Palm Springs than Fifties and Sixties modernism. Here at the edge of town, at the foot of the San Jacinto mountains, Korakia is a highly eclectic blend, with nary a kidney-shaped pool to be found. The original ...

L'auberge De Sedona

As Arizona getaways go, Sedona’s not hard to love. Far from the heat and sprawl and traffic of Phoenix, it’s a hundred miles north, and three thousand feet higher up, in an entirely different landscape — one of stunning red rocks and dramatic mountain sunlight. It’s a bit of a cult destination, i...

L'auberge Del Mar

Just past La Jolla, north of San Diego, is the upscale seaside village of Del Mar — and fresh off a brief closure and a massive renovation is the town’s top lodging, L’Auberge Del Mar. If Southern California makes you think beaches and bare feet, you’re certainly not wrong, but the Auberge belong...

La Posada De Santa Fe

Set foot inside La Posada’s six-acre compound and you might have difficulty believing that you’re still in both the city and the desert. Perhaps that’s because the beautifully landscaped property, with tropical flowers lining shaded pathways and leafy vines climbing up stucco walls, resembles a l...

Library Hotel

The Library is boutique hotel master Henry Kallan's latest creation. Steps away from the New York Public Library, this sixty-odd-room hotel is headquartered in a typically narrow, turn of the century building with terra cotta detailing and a copper bay window that extends down the length of the f...

Loft 523

Loft 523 is an oddity in old-fashioned New Orleans - a boutique hotel in a completely modern style, one that would look at home in New York or London. Where many New Orleans hotels aim for a French mansion style, all antiques and ivy, Loft 523 is stark, minimal, contemporary. From inside, one could ...

Luxe Hotel Rodeo Drive

At first glance, we must admit, we were skeptical—the Luxe Hotel is quite possibly the only storefront on Rodeo Drive that doesn’t belong to a luxury goods brand or a designer boutique. It seems the height of folly to establish a hotel here, on the world’s most famous shopper’s drive, and given o...

Luxe Hotel Sunset Blvd

With a name like that it’s not hard to guess where they’re coming from. The Luxe Hotel Sunset Boulevard is luxe indeed, with a location that’s more upscale retreat than downtown hipster haunt — it’s spread over seven acres of parkland in Brentwood, near the Getty Center, where Sunset Boulevard is...

Maison 140

Maison140 is essentially the boutique hotel take on the good old bed and breakfast, LA style, in a 44-room building that once belonged to actress Lilian Gish. Like a true B & B, it's set away from the urban hub in residential Beverly Hills. From the outside 140 is hard to spot — it's a...

Mandarin Oriental Boston

It may have been a long time coming but this new Mandarin Oriental, on Boylston Street in the upscale Back Bay, was exactly what Boston needed. It’s not simply that it’s a high-end luxury hotel — this town’s already got a few of those — but it’s the obsessive attention to the finer points of styl...

Mandarin Oriental Miami

Most of us hear the word “Miami” and our minds automatically fill in the word “Beach.” But Miami’s Mandarin Oriental proves there’s more to this town than the South Beach scene. The setting is unique, overlooking Biscayne Bay from Brickell Key, the t...

Mandarin Oriental New York

Located in the north tower of the brand-new, $1.7bn Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle, the Mandarin Oriental brings Far East hospitality to America's hottest hotel market. The Asian influence is apparent at a glance, with wood paneling, marble everywhere, and clean Zen-influenced design. And ...

Mandarin Oriental San Francisco

The Mandarin Oriental hotels famously bring a taste of Far East ultra-luxury to American shores, and the San Francisco outpost goes even a step further; to the Asian-inspired décor and the top-flight service, add the simple fact that the Mandarin is San Francisco’s highest hotel, occupying ...

Mandarin Oriental Washington D.C.

DC’s brand-new Mandarin Oriental occupies an unusual location, in the Portals complex, a multi-use site on a concrete promontory near the 14th Street Bridge, at the confluence of the Washington Channel and the Potomac Tidal Basin. This may mean it’s a less convenient location than som...

Mill Valley Inn

Just over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, nestled between the waters of Richardson Bay and the slopes of Mount Tamalpais, Mill Valley is one of California’s most scenic small cities, equal parts upscale bedroom community and rustic redwood canyon retreat. A short walk from the town pla...

Miraval Arizona

Some spa resorts indulge their guests in an unceasing orgy of pampering, enough mud masks, seaweed wraps and steam baths to turn adult skin to porcelain; others, taking a more masculine approach, simulate to an alarming degree some sort of boot camp or reality-television contest of attrition. The...
