To be responsible for three of them, like the Sydell group, is extraordinary.<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>You probably haven\u2019t heard of the Sydell group, but if you\u2019ve paid any attention to Tablet, you\u2019ve definitely heard of their hotels. Freehand, LINE, and NoMad hotels are popping up in cities all over America, and making a significant impact. Some of you, we\u2019re sure, are surprised to hear that each of these quite different boutique hotel chains all fall under the same umbrella. It\u2019s hard enough to find success and a distinct identity with one line of hotels \u2014 to be responsible for three of them is extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p>To make this high-wire act even more daring, Sydell isn\u2019t targeting three completely separate kinds of customers \u2014 a tactic the mega-chains use to crowd the market. No, each of their brands aims instead to meet a similar type of traveler at different points of their journey, an arguably harder proposition. Sydell angles their hotels toward guests of varying ages and budgets, but who all share an eye for detail, a taste for what&#8217;s current, and a modern interpretation of urbanity. Luxury is on offer as well \u2014 just not the stuffy, inaccessible kind.<\/p>\n<p>The Freehand hotels, with available hostel-style rooms, are nonetheless proper modern boutique hotels, but geared toward a slightly younger audience seeking a more communal, more collegial experience. This is your entry point. The LINE hotels aim a bit more upmarket, and are the kind of stylish, cutting-edge boutique hotels that are becoming the new standard across the hospitality world. At the top end are the NoMad hotels, plush boutiques with a more luxurious fit and finish and sometimes, as is the case with the New York location, a Michelin-starred restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Sydell might not even stop at three brands, as evidenced by the Saguaros in Scottsdale and Palm Springs \u2014 playful, colorful hotels that seem intent on starting a party by sheer force of design. Or The Ned in London, a members\u2019 club and luxury boutique hotel done in partnership with Soho House. Speaking of London, a third NoMad Hotel \u2014 the first in Europe \u2014 is opening there soon, along with another in Las Vegas. The sky&#8217;s the limit, and while the major hotel groups focus on dominating the industry, Sydell, in true boutique fashion, focuses on dominating their corner.<\/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;\">Freehand Los Angeles<\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Los Angeles, California<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/los-angeles-area-hotels\/freehand-los-angeles\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/042719\/FreehandLA.jpg\" alt=\"Freehand Los Angeles - boutique hotel in Los Angeles\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow the enormous neon \u201cCommercial Exchange\u201d sign \u2014 at 12 stories, the largest in the city \u2014 to a historic, renovated office building, once the home of Edgar Rice Burroughs\u2019s publishing company.

It also put the brand-new LINE brand on the map, and raised the profile of the Sydell Group. Now, it\u2019s a fixture on the Los Angeles boutique-hotel landscape, as its stylish minimalist rooms and its buzzing public spaces have quickly become iconic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\t<a id=\"thb-button-69d11c4eef2fd\" class=\"button medium   black\" href=\"\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\n<p>&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;\">The NoMad Los Angeles<\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Los Angeles, California<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/los-angeles-area-hotels\/the-nomad-los-angeles\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/042719\/NoMadLA.jpg\" alt=\"The NoMad Los Angeles - boutique hotel in Los Angeles\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Giannini Building is a neoclassical landmark that once contained the Bank of Italy, and the Art Deco lobby is unapologetically grand, a soaring two-story space under an ornate gold-and-blue ceiling.

There\u2019s a pronounced European accent to what\u2019s got to be the most Haussmannian building on Broadway \u2014 and of course the architectural ministrations of the Parisian designer Jacques Garcia only intensify the effect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\t<a id=\"thb-button-69d11c4eef344\" class=\"button medium   black\" href=\"\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\n<p>&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;\">The LINE DC<\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Washington, D.C.<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/washington-dc-hotels\/the-line-dc-hotel\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/042719\/LineDC.jpg\" alt=\"The LINE DC - boutique hotel in the Washington, D.C.\" width=\"970\" height=\"515\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When in Rome, do as the Romans do. In Los Angeles, the LINE put a thoroughly contemporary design spin on a mid-century hotel building in the newly hip neighborhood of Koreatown, and made it into a culinary destination with help from local hero Roy Choi. The LINE DC Hotel translates this concept into a language Washington understands: a century-old church in Adams Morgan provides the venue for a boutique hotel in an of-the-moment bohemian-eclectic style, complete with restaurant offerings from two James Beard\u2013recognized chefs, Baltimore\u2019s Spike Gjerde and DC\u2019s own Erik Bruner-Yang.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\t<a id=\"thb-button-69d11c4eef358\" class=\"button medium   black\" href=\"\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\n<p>&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;\">The LINE Austin<\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Austin, Texas<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/austin-hotels\/the-line-austin\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/042719\/LINEAustin-2.jpg\" alt=\"The LINE Austin - boutique hotel in Austin\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Sydell Group\u2019s third LINE Hotel once again transforms a faded mid-century chain hotel into a hip and contemporary boutique hotel, this time in Austin, Texas, on the shores of Lady Bird Lake. To be fair, the old Crest Inn\u2019s exterior has more than a little bit of retro appeal \u2014 but it\u2019s thanks to architect Michael Hsu and designer Sean Knibb that the LINE Austin is as stylish as it is today, mixing classic modernism and industrial-chic textures with some subtle nods to the geography and geology of Austin and the surrounding Hill Country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\t<a id=\"thb-button-69d11c4eef36b\" class=\"button medium   black\" href=\"\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\n<p>&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;\">Freehand Chicago<\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Chicago, Illinois<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/chicago-hotels\/freehand-chicago\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/042719\/FreehandChicago.jpg\" alt=\"Freehand Chicago - boutique hotel in Chicago\" width=\"970\" height=\"515\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Part hotel, part hostel, the Freehand hotels pitch themselves at the tiny intersection of style and affordability. They\u2019re not the only ones \u2014 but the reason we\u2019re writing about them is that they manage to hit the mark. Of course, it helps when you\u2019ve got designers of Roman and Williams\u2019 caliber in your corner. They\u2019re responsible for youth-market classics like the Ace Hotel New York and the Standard High Line, and here they\u2019ve turned what used to be the Tokyo Hotel, in the River North neighborhood, into Freehand Chicago, a slightly upscale evolution of the Freehand concept.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\t<a id=\"thb-button-69d11c4eef37e\" class=\"button medium   black\" href=\"\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\n<p>&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;\">Freehand Miami<\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Miami, Florida<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/miami-hotels\/freehand-miami\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/042719\/FreehandMiami.jpg\" alt=\"Freehand Miami - boutique hotel in Miami\" width=\"970\" height=\"515\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t tend to place an enormous amount of importance on fine linguistic distinctions.

It\u2019s probably enough simply to mention that it\u2019s possible to see it both ways \u2014 though it\u2019s surrounded by stratospherically luxurious South Beach hotels, Freehand is in most anyone\u2019s league when it comes to funky style and fun atmosphere, and at a fraction of the price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\t<a id=\"thb-button-69d11c4eef390\" class=\"button medium   black\" href=\"\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\n<p>&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;\">Saguaro Palm Springs<\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Palm Springs, California<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/palm-springs-hotels\/saguaro-palm-springs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/042719\/SaguaroPalm.jpg\" alt=\"Saguaro Palm Springs - boutique hotel in Palm Springs\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In a few short years Palm Springs has gone from nostalgia act to youth movement \u2014 while it\u2019s still got loads of mid-century appeal, it\u2019s expanded its demographics quite a bit, including a clientele that wasn\u2019t born yet the last time Palm Springs was hip. This, not incidentally, is more or less the mission of the Saguaro Palm Springs: boutique style with a broad appeal, hip but never alienating. It\u2019s a more youthful, more vibrant take on a classic California desert destination, and its 249 colorful rooms are a welcome addition to the south side of Palm Springs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\t<a id=\"thb-button-69d11c4eef3a0\" class=\"button medium   black\" href=\"\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\n<p>&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;\">Saguaro Scottsdale<\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Scottsdale, Arizona<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/phoenix-scottsdale-hotels\/the-saguaro-scottsdale\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/042719\/SaguaroScottsdale.jpg\" alt=\"Saguaro Scottsdale - boutique hotel in Scottsdale\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s more out West than California, we&#8217;re relieved to report, and much to recommend the Phoenix area in particular \u2014 here, boutique hoteliers have been busy honing a balanced, spacious boutique vision for quite some time. It\u2019s a vision that\u2019s perhaps less nakedly aspirational than the original Schrager model, where nightlife ruled the roost, and more inclined to the accessibly upscale.
