Small Hotels in Southern Japan

From up in Hokkaido to down in Okinawa we’re calling out some of Japan’s delightful and highly detailed small hotels. This is part one, starting in the south.

It’s an understatement to say that San Diego’s Lafayette Hotel is a feast for the eyes. As these images show, there’s hardly a scene in this historic place that doesn’t give you something to get lost in.

Tiny morsels from the world of Tablet

We mentioned last week that you can get 10% off April stays at Newfoundland’s amazing Fogo Island Inn. Did we mention that a recent, rather icy episode of Severence was filmed on the island and in nearby towns?

Our hotel of the week is The Charmant in La Crosse, Wisconsin. 67 stylish rooms are set in a renovated 1898 candy factory that’s appropriately charming.

Werner Herzog was on 60 Minutes this past weekend. He’s got a new book out with an expectedly brilliant title: Every Man for Himself and God Against All. Here are five times we’ve mentioned the director in our magazine.

In case you missed it, enjoy some new hotel picks from our editors.

This week had another Tuesday in it, to no one’s surprise, so this week we again updated our Tablet Plus Tuesday Twenty, featuring twenty cool Plus hotels.

The longest stay booked on Tablet this week was 16 nights at Alavya in Alacati, Turkey, where six historic village houses were joined together, restored, and turned into 25 individually decorated guest rooms.

You’re doing great.
