<\/h4>\n

As Tablet clients have begun showing interest in traveling again, they\u2019ve likewise shown a preference for staying in hotels that have a low room count. That means fewer guests to cross paths with, but it also means giving attention to hotels that might need it most. Smaller hotels tend to be independently owned, and with COVID-19’s destructive effects on the travel industry, their futures are less certain than the massive mega-chains. That’s why we created our Staying Small<\/em><\/a> series, which gives a little love to some of our favorite hotels with 20 or fewer rooms. They’re not all mom-and-pops, but they’re all completely singular.<\/p>\n

Volume #4 of the series leaves Europe and lands in the U.S.A., the country with the highest total number of COVID-19 deaths by a shamefully large margin. That sad reality might not seem pertinent to a story about hotels, but the coronavirus is thoroughly entangled with travel. Cases in America are surging again from coast to coast, sparking renewed talk of lockdowns and causing the EU to ban visitors from the United States. As for the travel industry, the latest spikes are another detour on its road to recovery.<\/p>\n

Here in New York we\u2019ve seen residents and businesses make the sacrifices necessary to flatten the curve and create the infrastructure that aims to keep it depressed. I\u2019m proud of my city and I\u2019m proud of my neighbors, who I\u2019ve grown closer with as we\u2019ve bonded together to beat back the outbreak. But not everyone feels that pride; not in NYC, and certainly not elsewhere in the country. Some Americans seemingly believe that masks are an oppression worthy of more outrage than systemic racism and state-sponsored murder. It can be argued how much of the economy needed to be shut down as we learned about the virus, but what can\u2019t be argued now is that masks are effective. And they aren\u2019t a true hardship.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich Side Are You On?\u201d is a song written by Florence Reece in 1931 about the battle between mine workers and mine owners in Harlan County, Kentucky. The song, and the question, continue to be relevant. This country has a long history of asking its citizens to choose sides: between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists, between the Union and the Confederacy, between labor and management, between civil rights and discrimination. In 2020, we\u2019re still fighting some version of those battles and a lot of others that never really seem to go away.<\/p>\n

We go about our lives, but centuries of bigotry, inequality, corruption, and the hoarding of capital collide in a cauldron that boils just beneath the surface of our daily pleasantries. The stress has always shown, but the pressure is building: in the past couple of months, an unprecedented number of people and organizations have realized that it’s time to wake up, speak out, and join the fight for justice. The cracks we normally step over are turning into canyons. Which side are you on?<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago our co-founder and CEO sent an email expressing Tablet\u2019s support for the Black Lives Matter movement and our condemnation of police brutality. He also acknowledged where we can improve as a company, and stated our intention to be more vocal both within and without when it comes to issues of race and intolerance. Some of the replies we received were downright nauseating. We probably shouldn\u2019t have been, but we were surprised by the level of hatred. As a travel company, our entire premise is based on bringing different types of people together in different types of places. It\u2019s based on curiosity, openness, and empathy. It\u2019s based on sensitivity and appreciation of the world\u2019s cultures. That\u2019s what side we\u2019ve always been on.<\/p>\n

And so, on the week of Independence Day, in a story about American hotels, the editors of The Agenda<\/em> are echoing our support for our CEO\u2019s letter. We\u2019ve included this message along with one of our standard hotel lists because business as usual<\/em> means something new these days. \u201cStick to sports,\u201d the catchall phrase for demanding someone keep their politics private, already feels as dated and ignorant as \u201cseparate but equal.\u201d Our commentary here is not political \u2014 because everything is political now. Every choice you make increasingly carries with it the ability to influence structural change and lift the lives of others. Every purchase you make, too. That\u2019s the price of progress, and we\u2019re happy to pay it.<\/p>\n

The Menhaden<\/h2>\n

Greenport, New York<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Long Island contains multitudes, from Brooklyn and Queens (technically) to the Hamptons, and beyond. The relatively sleepy North Fork certainly qualifies as beyond \u2014 Greenport, once a fishing village, is now an upscale haven for travelers from the city, and the heart of the Long Island wine country. It\u2019s also, as you\u2019ll have noticed, home to the Menhaden, a stylish and self-assured 16-room boutique hotel, set right on Front Street, at one end of Greenport\u2019s compact main drag.<\/p>\n

Kimber Modern<\/h2>\n

Austin, Texas<\/h5>\n

\"Kimber<\/a><\/p>\n

Amidst the hustle and bustle of South Congress Avenue, an oasis of therapeutic efficiency awaits even the most harried traveler at the Kimber Modern. Proprietor Kimber Cavendish strikes a balance between local and global, commissioning Austin-based architects to design the Zen-like structure and local artists to adorn its walls, finishing with understated international touches like Arne Jacobsen Egg chairs and Euroluce light fixtures.<\/p>\n

The Paramour Estate<\/h2>\n

Los Angeles, California<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

This 1920s estate in LA\u2019s hip Silver Lake began its life as a Mediterranean Revival mansion for a now-forgotten silent-film star. When interior designer Dana Hollister bought it, she intended for it to become the kind of luxury boutique hotel that we\u2019re all familiar with. But the neighborhood had other ideas, and in the end, what it became is something much more unique: part film set, part event venue, part dream house for Hollister herself, and home to fourteen of the most unforgettably stylish rooms, suites, and cottages in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n\t\n

<\/div>\n

Stonehurst Place<\/h2>\n

Atlanta, Georgia<\/h5>\n

\"Stonehurst<\/a><\/p>\n

With a gorgeous setting in a 19th-century mansion in Midtown, a charming urban neighborhood, Stonehurst Place gets off very much on the right foot. And though the recently renovated house is impeccably preserved, a careful look will reveal that it\u2019s kept pace with the times. The six rooms and suites are spacious and airy, with restored period woodwork and well-chosen furnishings. Though the service and amenities are first-rate the appeal of Stonehurst Place comes down to atmosphere \u2014 this is an elegant and romantic side of Atlanta that\u2019s hard to come by in the newer outlying areas.<\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n\t\n

<\/div>\n

Vandyke Bed & Breakfast<\/h2>\n

Nashville, Tennessee<\/h5>\n

\"Vandyke<\/a><\/p>\n

Given Nashville\u2019s entirely deserved reputation as one of the nightlife capitals of the United States, it\u2019s easy to see why Vandyke Bed & Beverage\u2019s concept is perfectly tailored to its setting. The neighborhood, East Nashville\u2019s Five Points, is a little quieter and a lot hipper than downtown, and it shows in the Vandyke\u2019s stylish architecture and design. They\u2019re the kind of rooms you could easily shut yourself away in, were it not for the fact that you\u2019re in one of the most fun neighborhoods in the country.<\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n\t\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Brentwood Hotel<\/h2>\n

Saratoga Springs, New York<\/h5>\n

\"Brentwood<\/a><\/p>\n

Brooklyn design group Studio Tack bought this Seventies motor lodge and set about updating it in a way that\u2019s sensitive to its setting. Sitting just across the road from the paddock and stables of Saratoga Race Course, they replaced its dated roadside-motel vibe with a bit of genteel equestrian atmosphere and a whole lot of personality. At Brentwood, there\u2019s a sense that every piece of furniture in the 12 rooms, every shade of paint, every gilt-framed painting was chosen with the utmost care.<\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n\t\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Restoration on King<\/h2>\n

Charleston, South Carolina<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The fifteen suites at The Restoration on King deal in a contemporary urban-reclamation style, all exposed brick and original hardwood floors, adding a welcome industrial edge to Charleston\u2019s classic elegance. Well-chosen antiques and artworks liven the spaces, and the creature comforts are legion, right down to washers, dryers, and kitchens that probably rival what you\u2019ve got at home. And of course the Restoration\u2019s setting in the heart of the old downtown district places guests right in the thick of Charleston\u2019s booming restauration scene.<\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n\t\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Dwell Hotel<\/h2>\n

Chattanooga, Tennessee<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The Dwell is a renovation of the century-old Stone Fort Inn, and its new owner, first-time hotelier Seija Ojanpera, has outfitted it with vintage furniture and modern artworks, and redecorated it in a bold and colorful mid-century modernist style. Every room is different, and each one\u2019s style is fully realized. Some have balconies, and every one comes with a rain shower and a separate soaking tub, while the suites, in addition to spreading out a bit, add fireplaces.<\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n\t\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Farmhouse Inn<\/h2>\n

Forestville, California<\/h5>\n

\"Farmhouse<\/a><\/p>\n

Forestville lies some ways off the most heavily beaten path of the Napa\/Sonoma wine country, partway from Santa Rosa to the Russian River town of Guerneville. As such it\u2019s something of an escape within an escape, a break not just from the city but from all the commotion on the winery-and-restaurant circuit. At Farmhouse Inn, you\u2019re still close enough to partake in all that you wish. But you\u2019re also comfortably ensconced in six idyllic acres, on an estate comprising of just eighteen rooms, suites and cottages.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

La Serena Villas<\/h2>\n

Palm Springs, California<\/h5>\n

\"La<\/a><\/p>\n

La Serena Villas is the latest transformation of a 1933-vintage Spanish-style hotel, and while its new owners have thoroughly updated it for the boutique-hotel era, they\u2019ve kept its stylistic inspiration intact \u2014 in fact you\u2019d be hard pressed to find a lovelier example of colonial-contemporary architecture and design. Despite its central location, just off Palm Canyon Drive, La Serena feels pleasantly private, a compound comprising 18 individual bungalows, each with a kitchenette and a private patio with an outdoor bathtub.<\/p>\n

Eastwind Hotel & Bar<\/h2>\n

Windham, New York<\/h5>\n

\"Eastwind<\/a><\/p>\n

With outdoor recreation more popular than ever, we knew the Catskills couldn\u2019t stay unfashionable forever. But it\u2019s a bit surprising just how quickly a place that hasn\u2019t been hip since our grandparents were kids has managed to reinvent itself. Eastwind Hotel & Bar is a case in point. It\u2019s co-owned by a German\/Lithuanian couple who saw a bit of his own childhood in the landscapes and lodges of upstate New York, and who redesigned this 1920s-era lodge (and its outlying A-frame cabins) with an eye toward Scandinavian modernist style.<\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n\t\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Drifter Hotel<\/h2>\n

New Orleans, Louisiana<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The vibe at the Drifter is like nothing else you\u2019ve seen in New Orleans. It\u2019s a renovated mid-century motel, for one thing, the sort of low-slung two-story modernist building we\u2019ve seen rehabilitated to great effect in towns like Austin, Texas. And while youth-oriented boutique hotels are not unheard of in this town, the Drifter goes one further: with its rotating selection of food trucks, its well-chosen craft beers, its third-wave coffee, and its charmingly hedonistic courtyard pool, it\u2019s tailor-made for young travelers with more taste than money.<\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n\t\n

<\/div>\n

The Rose Hotel<\/h2>\n

Los Angeles, California<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s any part of the Los Angeles area that can still reasonably be described as bohemian, it\u2019s Venice, and as such it\u2019s a natural location for a low-frills, vintage-inspired boutique of the new breed. The sort of place that\u2019s curated, if you\u2019ll forgive the expression, rather than designed. The Rose Hotel springs from the minds of fashion photographer Glen Luchford and portrait shooter Doug Bruce, whose description of the place speaks for itself: \u201cWe never set out to create the perfect hotel; our walls are thin, and the building is wonky\u2026 But it\u2019s not like any other hotel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wm. Mulherin\u2019s Hotel<\/h2>\n

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania<\/h5>\n

\"Wm.<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been close to a century since Wm. Mulherin\u2019s Sons transacted any business from their whiskey-bottling plant in Philadelphia\u2019s Fishtown. For decades, all that remained was this 19th-century building, until it reopened as a fantastically successful wood-fired Italian restaurant. Wm Mulherin\u2019s Sons became a food phenomenon famous far beyond the up-and-coming neighborhood of Fishtown, and before long it was clear that a few bedrooms, to accommodate far-flung travelers, wouldn\u2019t go amiss.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Cliffside Inn<\/h2>\n

Newport, Rhode Island<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

In Newport, Rhode Island\u2019s historic district, tradition isn\u2019t exactly in short supply. But with the Cliffside Inn, the New England\u2013based Lark Hotels has transformed a beautiful Victorian house into a lovely 16-room boutique hotel. And not just any Newport Victorian \u2014 this one happens to have been the home of the painter Beatrice Turner, whose artwork adorns its interiors. Every room is different, though all are comparable in style after an extensive 2019 renovation, with eclectic Victorian-meets-contemporary interiors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Villa, Casa Casaurina<\/h2>\n

Miami, Florida<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The old Versace mansion is back, this time as a luxury boutique hotel, under a new name: The Villa. This patchwork Italian-style palace is still every inch a monument to excess; the difference being that these days it\u2019s open to the public \u2014 or at least ten suites’ worth of the public. A monument to minimalism the Villa most certainly isn’t. The accommodations don\u2019t play it any safer than the hyper-ornate common areas; all the suites are intricately detailed, full of stained glass, mosaic tile and hand-carved furniture, along with everything a modern luxury hotel needs.<\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n\t\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Hob Knob<\/h2>\n

Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts<\/h5>\n

\"Hob<\/a><\/p>\n

Martha\u2019s Vineyard is the kind of destination that can feel a bit closed off to outsiders. It\u2019s a place that\u2019s perhaps better known for vacation homes and vacation estates than it is for hotels. But there are some gems to be found, among them Hob Knob, a charming 19th-century house in Edgartown that\u2019s been converted into a small and intimate 17-room boutique-style hotel. It\u2019s a remarkably well-preserved piece of Gothic Revival architecture. The interior style is classic meets contemporary, traditional in character but all sparkling new.<\/p>\n

Washington School House Hotel<\/h2>\n

Park City, Utah<\/h5>\n

\"Washington<\/a><\/p>\n

The trouble with ski hotels, all too often, is that the majesty of the mountain setting seems to tempt hoteliers into taking the easy way out. You can\u2019t compete with nature, so why even try? The proprietors of Park City\u2019s Washington School House suffer from no such affliction. Here the natural environment, sublime as it is, is only complemented by a thoughtfully conceived built environment. Yes, it\u2019s a 19th-century schoolhouse, but rustic cutesiness is far from the dominant tone. These twelve rooms and suites vary in style, but they\u2019re all stylish, and all cleanly focused.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Argos Inn<\/h2>\n

Ithaca, New York<\/h5>\n

\"Argos<\/a><\/p>\n

It may seem a more appropriate name for a cliffside resort in the Peloponnese, but Argos finds itself in a place with classical connections of its own \u2014 Ithaca, New York, home of Cornell University. This 1831 mansion was built as a private residence, and after a meticulous renovation, it\u2019s embarked on a new life as a hotel, with ten rooms and three suites that are classic in aspect, contemporary in style, and totally modern in comfort.<\/p>\n

The Battery<\/h2>\n

San Francisco, California<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re expecting a private member\u2019s club in today\u2019s San Francisco to be a sort of ping-pong playground full of app-pitching tech hucksters, then you\u2019ll be very pleasantly surprised by The Battery. And if the vibe, which is dark, moody, and bohemian, is more Hellfire Club than boys\u2019 club, then so much the better. The only way into the club is by nomination and acceptance by the board \u2014 or by reservation, which earns you one of 14 stylish, tastefully luxurious suites and rooms.<\/p>\n

Caldera House<\/h2>\n

Jackson Hole, Wyoming<\/h5>\n

\"Caldera<\/a><\/p>\n

Some American ski lodges prize physical comfort above all else, and strive to be as inoffensive as possible in their aesthetics. Others focus most of their efforts on atmosphere and design, and go light on the kinds of extravagances that make a hotel a luxury hotel. What\u2019s rare is a hotel that does both \u2014 but Caldera House, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is exceptional in exactly this way.<\/p>\n

Hotel Fauchere<\/h2>\n

Milford, Pennsylvania<\/h5>\n

\"Hotel<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s often said that Pennsylvania is a microcosm of all of America \u2014 one big city on each end, and three hundred miles of farms, mountains and small towns in between. To look at the exterior of the Hotel Fauch\u00e8re, in Milford, which looks straight out of American Gothic, you\u2019d think you\u2019d found the Platonic form of the rustic Pennsylvania farmhouse. But venture in and you\u2019ll find a boutique hotel that\u2019s a lot more contemporary and cosmopolitan than you\u2019d expect, defying any concept of rural America as a somehow backwards \u201cflyover country.\u201d<\/p>\n
