A 14-room Nantucket hotel that opened in August has been named to the “hot list” of top new hotels in the world by Condé Nast Traveler just a couple of weeks after the hotel was named to “The It List” for new hotels in the world by Travel & Leisure.
Condé Nast Traveler, in a list published late last week, said Life House Nantucket in an 1830s sea captain’s home 10 minutes outside of town “nails the balance between cozy hideaway (rooms done in wicker and floral patterns) and see-and-be-seen hangout (two outdoor gardens with firepits and loungers).”
Life House Nantucket is among 69 new hotels, 24 in the United States and Canada, singled out by Condé Nast Traveler, and among 38 chosen by Travel & Leisure in its North America category.
The travel publication recently released its 2021 Hot List, which highlights the best new hotels worldwide, and Life House Nantucket and Miraval Berkshires Resort & Spa in Lenox made the list. They are the only New England properties on the list of 69 hotels, which includes 23 in the U.S.
“This year’s annual Hot List of the best new hotels from around the world is a story of resilience,” the publication wrote. “Despite enormous hardship in the travel industry, exceptional properties have continued to open across the globe (nearly a thousand last year in the U.S. alone).”
Editors raved, in part, about the offerings at Miraval Berkshires Resort & Spa, a sprawling retreat on 380 acres in the Berkshires offering 102 rooms and suites.
