Shutters On The Beach

Shutters On The Beach

Some call Shutters on the Beach the most comfortable hotel in the world — and they may be right. It's just the perfect mix of that Deco glamour, old world coziness and modern LA laissez-faire, but it also has a lot of what the modern traveler wants — quiet. Though we all li...
Smyth, A Thompson Hotel

Smyth, A Thompson Hotel

Here the dark and slightly masculine Thompson house style is used to stunning effect, its rooms and suites clean in line yet rich in color, its public spaces swanky and romantic, whether by day or by night. Fittings are strictly boutique-luxe, with iPod docks and massive LCDs in the bedrooms, and...
Sofitel Chicago Water Tower

Sofitel Chicago Water Tower

Often a new city hotel has to settle for adapting an existing building, shoehorning modern interior design into a prewar skyscraper or hiding boutique flash behind an unassuming facade. Not so the Sofitel Water Tower. Architect Jean-Paul Viguier was allowed to start from scratch, and the result i...
Sofitel Los Angeles

Sofitel Los Angeles

The Sofitel Los Angeles is back, after the sort of renovation that makes most hotel facelifts look like little more than a good spring cleaning. Gone is the faded South-of-France style that looked almost defiantly out-of-place at the edge of Beverly Hills; this 295-room hotel is now decidedly a c...
Sofitel New York

Sofitel New York

Maybe we just have a soft spot for all things French. Or maybe it’s the case that for a big-business hotel chain, Sofitel seems to have it pretty well figured out — the consistent quality of a corporate hotel, but with the personality too many others lack, and an aesthetic sense that we may...
Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square

Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square

It’s fitting, given Washington D.C.’s French heritage, that one of its top hotels would be a Sofitel. As the name may suggest, this fine 1920s Art Deco building is just off Lafayette Square, which is also bordered by the White House; it’s hard to imagine a more prestigious location, or one that’s...
Soho Grand Hotel

Soho Grand Hotel

On the outside, with its cheery pink brick facade, the SoHo Grand resembles a brand-new shopping complex. But inside is a different story. Cast iron dogs stand guard at industrial design central — square lights, molded concrete walls, a coffee table the size of a grand piano. There's mesh wire gl...
Soho House

Soho House

No, it’s not in Soho, it’s in the Meatpacking District, the west-side warehouse neighborhood that’s suddenly found itself enjoying a second career as something of a dining and nightlife mecca. The Soho House name, rather, refers to its status as the New York chapter of the legendary London member...
Solage Calistoga

Solage Calistoga

It’s incredible that in 21st-century California a wine-country resort is still half-expected to look like something from 18th-century Tuscany. So it’s to Auberge Resorts’ credit that their newest creation, Solage Calistoga, calls on that most Californian of idioms: the bungalow. For though the wo...
Soniat House

Soniat House

Please note: Children under the age of 12 are not permitted at Soniat House. Certain parts of New Orleans had been quick to trade history and atmosphere for a quick tourist buck. But the Soniat House is the precise opposite of the phony drunken theme park atmosphere which was on...
Stowe Mountain Lodge

Stowe Mountain Lodge

A new-build ski resort could be a dicey proposition — typically it’s all about proximity to the slopes, with little time for the traditional virtues of building. But that sort of thing would be out of place at Stowe, which is, if not the East Coast’s biggest ski resorts, certainly one of its most...
Sunset Beach

Sunset Beach

Please note: Sunset Beach is closed for the season and will reopen on May 14, 2010. The Hamptons are just the Hamptons, today's playground of wealthy New Yorkers, a more retail oriented version of what the North Fork used to be in the days of Gatsby and before, and aside from the occasi...
Sunset Marquis

Sunset Marquis

Hard to believe this is West Hollywood. The newly and massively renovated Sunset Marquis is so exquisitely private, and the Bar 1200 so strict with its admissions, that one need never be reminded of the throngs of celeb-watchers and velvet-ropers that beset most of LA’s other hot spots. This excl...
Sunset Tower Hotel

Sunset Tower Hotel

In Hollywood the line between history and kitsch is so fine as to be practically non-existent. But one way or another the Sunset Tower manages to land on the right side of the line. In the latter years of the golden age this Art Deco apartment tower was home to the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Fra...
Taj Boston

Taj Boston

For the quintessential grand-hotel experience, an obsessive homage to the French Riviera of the Thirties, there’s no competition — it’s got to be the newly renovated Taj Boston, at Newbury and Arlington, just across from the Public Gardens. It's got a history that long predates the Taj...
The Alex

The Alex

In hotels, as well as in the air, sometimes if you want to be treated properly you’ve got to spring for business class. In the case of the Alex Hotel, that means a stunning, stylish hotel, the last word in modern minimalism from David Rockwell, with rooms, suites and apartments that are as ...
