Our summer hotel hall of fame 🛎️ How many of these have you checked into? What’s missing from our list?

CASTLE HILL INN

Newport, Rhode Island

A 40-acre seaside estate where everyone shows up for sunset on the lawn. Claim an Adirondack chair early, order a lobster roll, watch the sailboats parade past. During Newport race week the yachts cut close enough to the dining room you can hear the crews. The lighthouse on the property is the most photographed proposal spot in Rhode Island.

OLD EDWARDS INN

Highlands, North Carolina

Highlands is where you go to actually breathe in July. It’s 4,000 feet up, so you’re swapping the Southern humidity for 70-degree breezes and rocking chairs on Main Street. Between the incredible spa and the wine cellar, it’s the ultimate "cool down and classy" mountain escape.

TWIN FARMS

Barnard, Vermont

Ten cottages hidden in 300 acres of Vermont woods, adults only, all-inclusive in the truest sense. There's no menu (you tell the chef what sounds good and it shows up at dinner). There's no bill (every meal, every bottle, every activity is included). A wine cellar with 15,000 bottles, a stone Jacuzzi sunken into your cottage floor, a fire already lit when you come in from dinner. The trip you take when you genuinely need to disappear with one other person.

THE NANTUCKET HOTEL

Nantucket, Massachusetts

The grande dame of Nantucket, a five-minute walk from the ferry. Wraparound porches, two pools, rosé at lunch at the Breeze, and a kids' program serious enough that parents actually get to be on vacation. The rare island hotel that does families and adults equally well.

THE GREENBRIER

White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia

The most unapologetically maximalist hotel in America. Pink-and-green chintz everywhere, cabbage roses on every surface, mineral baths in the basement, a Vegas-meets-Victorian casino, and a dress code at dinner that requires a jacket. There's a declassified Cold War bunker below the resort open for daily tours. The kind of place your grandmother probably honeymooned, and you'll want to as well.

GRAND HOTEL

Mackinac Island, Michigan

Stepping off the ferry here feels like traveling back in time. There are no cars—just horse-drawn carriages and the world’s longest front porch. It’s delightfully old-school; think jackets at dinner and sunset drinks at the Cupola Bar. It’s pure, theatrical Midwestern magic you have to experience once.

THE RESORT AT PAWS UP

Greenough, Montana

Imagine a massive Montana ranch, but with a private chef and butler in your tent. You’re fly-fishing the river from A River Runs Through It by day and having chuckwagon dinners under the stars by night. It’s wild, rugged, and honestly, the most spoiled you’ll ever feel outdoors.

SOLAGE AUBERGE

Calistoga, California

This is Wine Country for people who prefer bathrobes to formal dinners. Go to the spa—it's one of California's best. Grab a bike to hit the local wineries, play some bocce, and be sure to grab a candle from the mini-bar before you leave (we're the ones who make their signature harvest-inspired lobby scent.)

TOPPING ROSE HOUSE

Bridgehampton, New York

A Greek Revival on the corner in Bridgehampton with Jean-Georges in the kitchen and a one-acre farm out back—which explains why the food is so deliciously fresh. Saturday brunch on the porch is the scene, as is happy hour on the lawn (and they make a mean dirty martini.) Pop into the lobby shop to grab one of our Hamptons candles before you head out.

POST RANCH INN

Big Sur, California

It’s basically a dreamscape perched on a 1,200-foot cliff. You can stay in actual treehouses or float in an infinity pool that looks like it’s spilling into the Pacific. It’s adults-only, quiet, and the Sierra Mar sunsets are life-changing. You won’t want to put your camera away.
