The old saying might still be true that wherever you go, there you are \u2014 but we know that environments like these can&#8217;t help but change a person. Travel is transformative \u2014 otherwise, what&#8217;s the point, right? Our examination dives deeper into that question here in Part 2.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:1px;border-top:3px double #ccc;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:60px;display:block;clear:both\"><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Part 2: The Inside or The Outside?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<div style=\"height:1px;border-top:3px double #ccc;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:60px;display:block;clear:both\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>INTERNAL SUNSHINE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Tablet first launched, a sort of glossy minimalism was the prevailing boutique-hotel look. But lately a more lived-in, comfortable, and easy-going style has been in the ascendant. Think of it as a 21st-century version of the Victorian era&#8217;s ornamentation and deliberate mixture of styles, but in a way that looks not formal, but practically effortless. You&#8217;re staying a while, so these hotels make sure you have plenty to look at while you do.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/los-angeles-area-hotels\/palihouse-west-hollywood\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/111817\/PWH-2.jpg\" alt=\"Palihouse West Hollywood - boutique hotel in Los Angeles\" width=\"960\" height=\"1030\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Palihouse West Hollywood, CA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/los-angeles-area-hotels\/palihouse-west-hollywood\">Palihouse West Hollywood<\/a> takes this whole &#8220;try on a new life&#8221; thing literally. It&#8217;s an extended-stay hotel, with interior spaces that aren&#8217;t too different from those professionally crafted Los Angeles apartments you think only exist in the movies. The design is plenty stylish, but still down-to-earth and approachable. Like Hollywood&#8217;s most successful performers, it&#8217;s attractive and charming, yet comes with a necessary bit of humility.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/povoa-de-penafirme-1-hotels\/areias-do-seixo-charm-hotel-residences\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/111817\/Areias.jpg\" alt=\"Areias do Seixo - boutique hotel in Portugal\" width=\"960\" height=\"1030\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Areias do Seixo, Portugal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Portugal you&#8217;ll find a similar combination \u2014 and also an awful lot of driftwood, as if to say these meticulously designed boutique hotels simply washed ashore one day, looking every bit as stylish as they do. A reminder that holidays are for making it look easy. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/fatima-hotels\/luz-charming-houses-fatima\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/111817\/Luz.jpg\" alt=\"Luz Charming Houses - boutique hotel in Portugal\" width=\"960\" height=\"1030\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Luz Charming Houses, Portugal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And in case it wasn&#8217;t clear enough, <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/povoa-de-penafirme-1-hotels\/areias-do-seixo-charm-hotel-residences\">Areias do Seixo Charm Hotel &amp; Residences<\/a> and the <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/fatima-hotels\/luz-charming-houses-fatima\">Luz Charming Houses<\/a> practically explain their purpose in their names.

This is a Mexican beach town, after all \u2014 the atmosphere of glittery striving you find at some of the region&#8217;s most populated resorts should be the last thing you want here. The fit and finish at La Semilla isn&#8217;t perfect, and it isn&#8217;t supposed to be. The owners prioritized character, eclecticism, and a highly personal touch over flash, polish, and pizazz. Sounds perfect to us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/palm-springs-hotels\/sparrows-lodge\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/111817\/Sparrows.jpg\" alt=\"Sparrows Lodge - boutique hotel in Palm Springs\" width=\"960\" height=\"1030\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sparrows Lodge, Palm Springs, California<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While much of Palm Springs understandably leans on the disciplined mid-century modernism it helped make famous, it is still an oasis amidst a wild natural environment, surrounded by mountains, deserts, hot springs, and even a breathtaking national park. We&#8217;re all for the contrast, but <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/palm-springs-hotels\/sparrows-lodge\">Sparrows Lodge<\/a> goes in another direction, paying tribute to the Coachella Valley&#8217;s more rugged features.

It&#8217;s further evidence of the post-Soviet renaissance of Tblisi, the seductive capital city of Georgia. Leather and wood, steel and glass, velvet and terra cotta \u2014 it all blends together seamlessly to provide a lavish getaway that&#8217;s bold and colorful, but never inelegant.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/austin-hotels\/hotel-saint-cecilia\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/111817\/SaintCecila3.jpg\" alt=\"Hotel Saint Cecilia - boutique hotel in Austin\" width=\"960\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hotel Saint Cecilia, Austin, Texas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most influential purveyor of this trend, at least in the hotel world, is the incomparable Liz Lambert. The game definitely changed when she opened her <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/austin-hotels\/hotel-saint-cecilia\">Hotel Saint Cecilia<\/a> and showed just how eager guests were for accommodations that provided a high level of intimacy but didn&#8217;t break the bank.

That&#8217;s when the first priority of the design should be to provide a worthy frame for the view. These hotels try to do just that, drawing your eye away from the inside and out into the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/tokyo-hotels\/aman-tokyo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/111817\/AmanTokyo.jpg\" alt=\"Aman Tokyo - boutique hotel in Tokyo\" width=\"960\" height=\"1030\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aman Hotel Tokyo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The irony is that these hotels are actually all so impressive on their own that you wouldn&#8217;t mind if they looked straight out at a brick wall. But <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/tokyo-hotels\/aman-tokyo\">Aman Tokyo<\/a>, for all its interior charms, is only made greater by its vertiginous city views. The hotel&#8217;s modernist rooms pay tribute to the traditional Japanese experience \u2014 the warm, golden tones would be right at home in a ryokan, and provide a calming contrast to the bustling blue-gray city some 30+ stories below.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/lake-powell-hotels\/amangiri\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/111817\/Amangiri.jpg\" alt=\"Amangiri - boutique hotel in Utah\" width=\"960\" height=\"1030\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amangiri, Lake Powell, Utah<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Aman uses minimalism differently at <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/lake-powell-hotels\/amangiri\">Amangiri<\/a>, their Utah outpost, located just outside of Lake Powell. Here the interiors mirror the exteriors, with concrete walls, rough timber furnishings, and windows that open so wide it&#8217;s almost difficult to tell where the inside ends and the outside begins. It&#8217;s a sensible choice. After all, you didn&#8217;t drive this far into the desert to avoid the feeling of being detached or to spend half your day hiding from the otherworldly landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/todos-santos-hotels\/hotel-san-cristobal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/111817\/SanCristobal.jpg\" alt=\"Hotel San Cristobal - boutique hotel in Mexico\" width=\"960\" height=\"773\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hotel San Cristobal, Todos Santos, Mexico<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to incredible views, nothing beats a bit of blue.

Sitting right on the Pacific, its beachfront rooms frame a scene that&#8217;s almost Rothko-like in its blue and white abstraction. This is another Liz Lambert joint, and her easy-going style is again on full display \u2014 so much so that you might be content to nap all day on the couch instead of journeying to the ocean, just a few steps away.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/santorini-hotels\/aigialos\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/111817\/Aigialos.jpg\" alt=\"Aigialos - boutique hotel in Santorini\" width=\"960\" height=\"773\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aigialos, Santorini, Greece<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Similarly,\u00a0<a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/santorini-hotels\/aigialos\">Aigialos<\/a>\u00a0in Greece takes that satisfaction a bit further, allowing you to play out the fantasy of having your own antique-furnished eighteenth century villa on the cliffs of Santorini, waking up each morning to panoramas of the Aegean Sea.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/con-dao-islands-hotels\/six-senses-con-dao\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/111817\/ConDao.jpg\" alt=\"Six Senses Con Dao - boutique hotel in Vietnam\" width=\"960\" height=\"1030\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Six Senses Con Dao, Vietnam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If your preference is for something more modern and less casual, <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/con-dao-islands-hotels\/six-senses-con-dao\">Six Senses Con Dao<\/a> presents a spare, uncluttered scene.

This is quintessential cabin living \u2014 the absolute perfect balance of remote rustic charm and modern gloss, with just the right amount of luxury.
