The Washington Inn—Santa Fe, New Mexico
Where it’s located: Tucked off Washington Avenue, two blocks from historic Santa Fe Plaza, this intimate property places guests within easy walking distance of the art galleries, museums and restaurants that make this Southwestern capital so exciting.
Why we’re excited: Santa Fe has fantastic food and art scenes, but high-end, all-suite accommodations have been conspicuously lacking—until now. Enter the Washington Inn, an intimate, 27-key property that blends historic renovation with modern construction, with accommodations ranging from homey, studio-style stays to sprawling three-bedroom retreats that are perfect for groups. The design leans into a contemporary, sleek interpretation of the region’s style (not the same old, yet beloved, Pueblo Revival the city is known for), with lots of local stones and bricks throughout, and a color palette that reflects the high desert landscape. For visitors looking to experience Santa Fe not as tourists but as temporary residents, this is a compelling new address.
Hotel Corduroy
Hotel Corduroy—Montauk, New York
Where it’s located: In the heart of Montauk Harbor, a short walk to Sunset Beach, Gosman’s Dock by Bagatelle, and the Viking Fleet ferry to New London, Connecticut. The East End has changed so, so much over the last ten years, but there’s still glimpses of Montauk’s humble fishing village past in this part of town. Today, it’s an area that’s equal parts relaxed and refined—in other words, just where you want to be in Montauk.
Why we’re excited: Blue Flag Capital is in for a big, distinctly Long Island summer, with the expansion of its Faraway brand to Sag Harbor, as well as the openings of Oyster Estate in Greenport and this, located on the site of the former The Sunset Montauk. Hotel Corduroy marks Blue Flag’s first boutique hotel outside of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, and this is a group that has a proven track record with creating vibey coastal properties perfect for a guest experience nothing short of transporting. The renovation by Ward + Gray brings a textured, design-forward aesthetic that feels fresh for Montauk, complete with a communal lawn outfitted with sofas, loosely arranged lounge chairs and a fire pit. Looking for a stylish Montauk hideaway this summer? This is it.
