7 New Hotels

Puqio

Arequipa, Peru

For a destination that attracts so many outdoor adventurers, Peru was late to the luxury camping trend. But Puqio, the first tented camp in the country, doesn’t disappoint — in fact, when it opened, this stylish safari-style hotel quickly became one of the most buzzed-about places to stay in the Colca Valley.

Lovango Resort and Beach Club

US Virgin Islands

The new generation of Caribbean resorts has learned the lessons of the boutique-hotel age; the best of them are more intimate and more full of character. This is true of Lovango Resort — it’s unpretentiously stylish, tastefully luxe, perfectly laid-back, and showcases a wild side of the Caribbean that’s increasingly hard to find.

Monteverdi Tuscany

Castiglioncello del Trinoro, Italy

In a medieval hilltop village, a collection of old houses has been turned into Monteverdi Tuscany. Here, ancient cobblestoned streets lead between guest rooms, a stone-walled swimming pool, gardens, a spa, a library, a bar, galleries, a culinary academy, and a 14th-century church used as a concert venue.

Casa Cipriani New York

New York City, NY, USA

Manhattan’s iconic Battery Maritime Building, a 1906 Beaux-Arts ferry terminal, is the venue for Casa Cipriani, a members’ club and luxury boutique hotel by the legendary Italian restaurateurs and hoteliers. Inside is probably the purest dose of contemporary Italian luxury design available this side of Milan.

Auberge du Bon Laboureur

Chenonceaux, France

What began as a coaching inn in 1786 is now a beautiful little boutique hotel called Auberge du Bon Laboureur. It combines the personable atmosphere of a private residence with the style and service of a professional lodging, and the location, in Chenonceaux, a lovely Loire Valley village, is splendid.

The Pergola

Cascais, Portugal

In 1925, a local businessman purchased a pair of side-by-side chalets a short stroll from the beach in the fishing village of Cascais, then renovated them and gifted them to his two daughters. They remained in the family until the 1980s, when one of the chalets was turned into the town’s very first hotel, now called the Pergola.

The Abner Hotel

Litchfield, CT, USA

Litchfield was home to the country’s first law school, and its old county courthouse is now a stylish hotel, the Abner. Like all hotels from the Salt group, it’s small-scale and design-focused. The landmark building contains just twenty guest rooms and a handful of common spaces that lean into the law and order theme.
