5 Delightful Design Hotels For a Trip Somewhere New
The Global Ambassador Phoenix, AZ
A brand-new Phoenix retreat, The Global Ambassador is the sort of place you won't ever have to leave until your stay ends. A myriad of top-notch culinary options are available, from Parisian steakhouse Le Âme to Mediterranean fare on the rooftop at théa. Pink Dolphin, located by the pool, serves a combination of Mexican and Peruvian flavors alongside some seriously killer margaritas. The state-of-the-art fitness center is massive, sitting at 9,000 square feet, and the luxurious spa will be outfitted with 10 treatment rooms, with offerings spanning from IV drips to facials to cryotherapy. Plus, each room is over 450 square feet at minimum—meaning you'll have endless space to spread out.
For many, the coming of winter evokes the idea of cozy cabins nestled somewhere between snow-covered mountains. Turn your mental image into prized memories at The Lodge at Jackson Hole, a woodland retreat that is as luxurious as it is comforting. The dining here is first-class, from classic buffet breakfasts to winter classics like soft pretzel bites at the Fireside Lounge. The all-season pool center is a great place to relax your body after cold days on the slopes, and many rooms come equipped with fireplaces perfect for curling up with a good book.
While it may be famous for being the only full-service ski-in/ski-out resort at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, Elevation Hotel and Spa is a perfect destination for adventure seekers no matter the season. Travelers will appreciate the jaw-dropping beauty of the surrounding peaks and valleys, almost as much as they'll appreciate being able to play endlessly amongst them. An array of outdoor activities (including Colorado's world-renowned skiing), as well as a spa, an outdoor heated pool, and three hot tubs, ensure you'll finish your whole season's bucket list in one stay. The on-site dining options are creative and thoughtful, including a restaurant that specializes in tacos and tequila with scenic mountain views, and even an unmissable year-round lounge with a pool table.
Located in the quaint, wintry town of Stowe, Field Guide Lodge offers a modern take on the classic lodge vacation. Decked out in contemporary decor with a cozy, woodsy feel, this hotel has everything you need for a cold-weather vacation, from a communal fire pit to bluetooth radios and refrigerators in each room. The surrounding area is the ideal environment to explore, with everything from skiing to woodland hikes readily available, although you'll take just as much pleasure in retreating to the on-site bar when your day comes to an end.
A unique cabin getaway just a short drive from Toronto, this design-oriented stay offers all of the luxuries of a larger hotel in an intimate, private environment. Offering a limited number of rooms, each with custom furniture, this hotel is laden with amenities like an all-day restaurant serving inventive cuisine alongside delightful cocktails, and a game room for endless fun. A general store in the lobby ensures you'll have whatever you need for your stay, although the 24-hour front desk and concierge has you covered for any out-of-the-box requests. With plenty of programming and a cozy-chic vibe, you've found your next country hideaway.
