Design-Forward Hotels For Your Next City Break
Park Lane Hotel New York New York, NY
This sophisticated Central Park hotel on Billionaire's Row is a foodie's paradise, with distinct dining and drinking concepts by restaurateur Scott Sartiano. Influenced by Parisian Art Nouveau with a Riviera flair, Rose Lane does fresh plates and herbaceous cocktails in a garden-like setting. The star of the show is Darling, the only rooftop on Central Park South, offering coveted views, indulgences such as caviar and seafood towers, and cocktails alongside pours of new and old-world wines.
Gorgeous copper interiors greet you as you step into Sea Containers London, an ultra-modern hotel with a maritime twist. Here, fun, geometric shapes combine with pops of color to create an unexpected take on nautical themes. There are, of course, the requisite anchors and knots throughout the property, but it's much more aligned with the future than the seafaring past. There's plenty to do here, from a cinema room to a spa with seasonal treatments to multiple food & beverage options. Particularly noteworthy is Lyaness, the flagship bar from Ryan Chetiyawardana AKA Mr Lyan, which serves a delightful Sri Lankan take on afternoon tea.
Hotels have long been spaces that cultivate creativity, from NYC's Hotel Chelsea to LA's famed Hyatt House. The Hutton Hotel, located in Nashville, takes that to a whole new level, with amenities you simply won't find anywhere else. Browse the hotel’s vinyl library full of classic tunes for you to enjoy on your in-room record player or take advantage of the onsite state-of-the-art Writers Studios when artistic inspiration strikes. If you don't want to risk bringing your guitar on the plane, don't fret, the hotel's collaboration with Fender Play® lets you select from guitars, basses, and ukuleles to pick up and start playing whether you’re jamming out like a rockstar or just starting to strum. When it's time to give your brain a rest, grab a meal and a drink at the Americana-inspired Evelyn's before heading to the onsite venue, Analog, to enjoy some of the live music the city is famous for. At the Hutton Hotel, you'll see why it's called Music City.
Ideally located in the affluent Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley, this Arizona getaway gives guests access to the abundant natural beauty the area has to offer while also being minutes away from city centers brimming with historic charm. While you can enjoy the majestic view of Camelback Mountain from your well-appointed guest room here, those searching for a more active appreciation of the mountain can strap on their hiking boots and take the trek to the top for sweeping views of nearby Scottsdale. For a significantly less strenuous but equally as fun day out, pay a visit to nearby Old Town Scottsdale. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods full of vibrant art galleries, renowned museums, and unique boutiques. When the day is done, head back to The Global Ambassador to relax sore muscles at the spa or indulge in a hearty French meal at Le me. Looking for the full experience? Book The Suite Stay and enjoy an exclusive welcome amenity, daily breakfast for two at Le Âme or Le Market, $200 spa credit, $200 food & beverage credit, complimentary valet parking, complimentary upgrade, and a late check out of 4 PM.
Unlike most Chicago hotels, which occupy large towers in dense downtown, The Robey holds court in hip Wicker Park, in a charmingly updated Art Deco masterpiece, the only skyscraper for miles. The boutique hotel, Grupo Habita’s second location outside Mexico, was transformed by Belgian design duo Nicolas Schuybroek Architects and Marc Merckx Interiors, who spruced up the rooms, lobby, and roof areas with vintage-inspired touches like mid-century-modern furniture and terrazzo flooring. Etched Art Deco elevators lead to contemporary rooms, the most lofty of which are found at the point of the building’s triangular frame, with warm-wood flooring, accent gray walls, and button-operated blinds that conceal and reveal views of the Chicago skyline in the distance.
