This hotel is all about having a Good Time. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a peek at musician Pharrell, who is now officially in the hospitality business. At this retreat in Santa Fe, you have yet another reason to explore one of the most special towns in the US. And last but not least, in Sonoma County, the big dogs have arrived, with a mountain view retreat. The three new hotels this June on our radar are…
The Good Time Hotel
Location: Miami, Florida
The Buzz: The Good Time lived up to its name at the grand opening, when the celebs came out in full force. Clearly musician now hotelier Pharrell, is loved. The likes of Kim Kardashian, David and Victoria Beckham, just to name a few, came out to support the opening.
Even without the big names in residence, the hotel continues to be a cool scene, without (usually) crossing the line of obnoxious. On location, you’re in South Beach, but just right on the fringe. With 266 rooms, and themed pink and turquoise, the hotel exudes an immediate Good Time atmosphere. Sorry, we couldn’t resist. Their restaurant Strawberry Moon lands on our Galavante list of 10 Hot Restaurants in Miami now.
Bishop’s Lodge, Auberge Resorts Collection
Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico
The Buzz: If the pandemic taught us anything, it’s we have a pretty beautiful country to explore. As you ease back into travel, Santa Fe is a always a good idea. Bishop’s Lodge, on the outskirts of town on 317 acres, borders the vast Santa Fe National Forest. This seclusion however is just minutes, outside of the charming town of Santa Fe.
Auberge Resorts has thrown their hat in the ring in a big way, with the development of the historic 150 year old residence. While the rooms and facilities are renovated in the manner you expect from Auberge, early indicators are the spiritual integrity of Santa Fe are in tact. The hotel will have a Healing Arts Center. Open date is currently July 1, 2021.
The Montage Healdsburg
Location: Healdsburg, California
The Buzz; For when you want a full service resort, with all the bells and whistles, Sonoma is now your destination. The Montage Healdsburg has arrived, located on 258 acres of land overlooking the mountains, but yet a few minutes drive from town. With 130 bungalow style rooms and suites, an 11,500 square foot spa, two restaurants and a bar, it was designed to be a destination itself. The bonus is you’re in the heart of Sonoma wine country.
Word on the street is the hotel is the Montage in all its glory. Excellent spa treatments, nice gym, great pool and a fine California dining restaurant. Check out our review on the Montage Healdsburg on Galavante here.
