From Turkey to San Francisco, Cozy Design-Forward Stays

Amanruya
Bodrum, Turkey

A secluded retreat on Turkey's Bodrum Peninsula, Amanruya should be your next destination to experience something new. This getaway, from the ultra-luxury Aman Resorts, is deeply inviting, with a traditional village feel and top-tier service and amenities. Take an early-morning dip in the pool before setting out on an excursion—the more nautically inclined will love the opportunity to sail on the Aegean, but if you'd like to stay on land, Unesco-protected ruins and quaint villages abound. When the sun sets, head back to the resort for a delicious meal, where options range from sushi to elevated takes on traditional cuisines of the area. Wellness is a key part of each guest’s stay here, but it's up to you to decide what that means, whether it be lounging beside the bay or getting a treatment at the ultra-advanced spa.

The Croke Park Hotel

The rooms are large, and house convenient amenities like large Smart TVs and duck down duvets. The restaurant and bar, The Sideline and The Hawthorn respectively, utilize local ingredients in elevated contexts.

A Northeastern retreat with an intimate vibe and a hyper-local focus, this pied-a-terre is the perfect artist's retreat. More than 3/4 of the decorations are vintage or handmade, and the design is impeccable, the sort of thing you'd expect to see in a movie or Architectural Digest. It feels more like you're visiting your coolest family member than a hotel, with the fully-stocked complimentary pantry and and barroom stocked with shrubs and tinctures for getting creative with your cocktail. Each room is unique and cozy, draped in woodsy hues and unique textiles, beckoning you to extend your stay.
