Owned and operated by innkeepers who met as graduate students at Duke, The King’s Daughters Inn is a hybrid between a bed and breakfast and a high-end small hotel. The Inn is green-designed, with 1920’s style rooms you may not want to leave. What we love: Sunrooms are attached to some of the guest rooms, so you […]
Independent hotels are becoming more and more popular as gourmet destinations. We continue to unlock Stash hotel chefs’ secret recipes, this month by plying Hotel Providence Chef Jori Rieben with the cooking wine and asking what he does with crab—now in season in much of the country. ABOUT THE CHEF “Cook what you love to […]
Caribe Royale‘s size is part of the Orlando resort’s appeal. While you’re there, you feel as if you’re in another, endlessly pleasant world, a world with 53 lush, tropical acres, 2 restaurants and 3 lounges for moods from “I want ultra upscale fine dining” to “I want a drink without leaving the pool.” But […]

Here, a tour of three independent hotels where […]
We asked The Resort at Port Ludlow‘s sommelier Anne Sackett—known for hosting highly-informed wine dinners at the inn—to step out of her award-wining cellar and offer her best holiday wine suggestions, for two different budgets. Choose the less expensive version when you’re inviting 25 friends or relatives, and the focus is on warmth, family, and having lots and lots […]
A dry bone-shaped biscuit? Feh. Try Grilled Chicken Paillard, or a Salmon Tartare Tower: both on the in-room pet menu at The James, Chicago. The hotel charged executive David Burke with creating dinners worthy of four-legged family members, and Burke Barks Bites is the result. (And the Filet Mignon is not for you. We know […]
The Verb Hotel is a restoration of a classic Fenway 1959 motor lodge, drawing on the expertise of architects and rock historians to create the newest place to be in the neighborhood. Already winning rave reviews, buzz will amp up when the restaurant opens in 2015: a high-energy, Tokyo Pop-inspired izakaya grill by the owners of o ya restaurant. […]
I love to cook, under certain circumstances. Circumstances that I find hard to duplicate in my California bungalow kitchen. These include but are not limited to: ingredients prepped by a professional chef. Said professional chef on the scene offering instructions and light banter. Six or so friends to cook with, someone else to do the dishes, fast and […]
