3 New Hotels To Build A Trip Around In 2023 From Miami to Upstate New York
Released on 07/10/2023
Every year, Conde Nast Traveler
reveals its annual hot list,
which spotlights the best new hotels,
restaurants and more around the world.
Here, a restorative retreat in upstate New York,
a reimagined icon in Miami and a sky high oasis
in the heart of downtown Los Angeles
are three of the standout properties
on this year's hot list.
You have arrived in upstate New York's Hudson Valley
at the New Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts collection.
Although it's just 90 minutes from New York City,
this retreat set on 140 bucolic acres,
feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle
of everyday life.
Upon arriving, you'll quickly see that the great porch,
a covered alfresco communal area with a central fire pit
is the fulcrum of the property.
There's plenty to do,
including taking a movement or a fitness class,
or visiting the excellent Thistle Spa.
Make sure to allow time for lounging on a day bed
beside the peaceful indoor saltwater pool
and for a session in the sauna.
The restaurant, Clay, with its soaring ceilings
and huge windows is made cozy by a central hearth
and lots of intimate seating.
The menu at Clay is a tribute to locally grown
and seasonably sourced ingredients
and you'll find tasty dishes
like filet mignon with broccolini
and cavatelli pasta with charred cherry tomatoes.
Guest rooms come in the form of 65 freestanding cabins.
All of the cabins have private outdoor spaces
and floor to ceiling windows
to bring the natural beauty inside.
For the ultimate indulgence,
opt for one of the ridge suites
with a round wood burning fireplace in the living room
and a gas burning stove in the bedroom,
a deep bathtub and an outdoor shower.
And the best part,
a cedar hot tub sunk into the terrace.
After a few days here,
you may just pick up and move to the country.
Welcome to Miami and Mayfair House Hotel and Garden.
Set in the lush and leafy Coconut Grove neighborhood.
About 10 minutes south of downtown,
this Miami icon has come blazing back to life
after a smart two-year re-imagination.
The hotel was originally built in the mid 1980s
in the garden atrium style
by acclaimed architect Kenneth Treister.
Today, the soaring atrium with its riot of tropical plants
and fountains is still the heart of the hotel.
The main restaurant, The Mayfair Grill,
spotlights local produce while bringing
a Southwest flair to the menu
and it has become one of the hardest
neighborhood reservations to score.
Up on the rooftop Sip Sip Bar
with its tropical mural and rum heavy cocktail list
is a celebration of Miami's Caribbean heritage.
To keep the vacation vibes going, grab a cold drink
and set up on one of the poolside loungers.
Rooms playfully conjure up the eighties.
Pops of bright blue and terracotta.
And with plenty of living space and sprawling balconies,
there's room to bring the kids along.
Even the clawfoot tubs feel family size.
Consider the reborn Mayfair House
your new home away from home.
Touch down in the city of Angels
at the New Conrad Los Angeles
in the city's downtown neighborhood.
This is star architect Frank Gary's
first hotel project in his hometown.
With modern guest rooms and an indoor outdoor vibe
including a sprawling rooftop terrace,
it's a total scene stealer.
Michelin starred chef Jose Andres is
behind the hotel's two signature restaurants.
Aqua Viva is a stylish rooftop spot
with a laid back, casually chic atmosphere.
At San Laurel, chef Andres's menu adds a California twist
to the flavors of his native Spain.
For starters, think classic olive oil
Inez Rosales' crackers and Spanish cheeses,
followed by a succulent rack of lamb
served with a spiced carrot puree.
The smartly designed spa features all
of the cutting edge beauty and wellness treatments
that LA is known for.
If a few laps in the pool followed by an afternoon nap
are more your speed,
head to the rooftop swimming pool and lounge area.
The 305 contemporary guest rooms
are a study in understated elegance.
For the full California experience,
book the City View Suite with ample living space,
a decadent soaking tub
and an expansive private terrace
with stunning cityscape views.
This is LA in a whole new way.
A great hotel draws in the best of food, design and comfort
and is the foundation of an amazing trip.
