    Beachside Lunch in Mauritius at Dinarobin

    By Sara Bliss on July 15, 2013
    A few months back I was exploring Mauritius and covering the new St. Regis for Indagare . Around the corner from the St. Regis was the Dinarobin Resort where we parked under a palapa for a bite one afternoon. Probably one of my favorite places for lunch….ever, totally laid-back with a killer view of the Indian Ocean. The vibe was […]

    Montauk in Manhattan: Gilligan’s at the Soho Grand

    By Sara Bliss on July 6, 2013
    I love a great hotel bar. The ones are where even the locals want to hang out at. This summer Gilligan’s at the Soho Grand is that spot in NYC. I checked out the beach-themed alfresco pop-up for Refinery29 and decided it was going to my summer night go-to.  The vibe is very laid-back with picnic tables, deck chairs, and kitschy […]

    Chic Daybeds from Dar Nanka in Marrakech

    By Sara Bliss on July 2, 2013
    These amazing daybeds caught my eye at the 8-room Dar Nanka Hotel & Spa in Marrakech. Swap them for your standard loungers and they would bring a little bit of Morocco to your poolside. You could have a woodworker copy the design, or if you are closer to Morocco, contact the designer. He doesn’t have a website, but the hotel […]

    Get the Look: Palihouse Santa Monica

    By Sara Bliss on June 10, 2013
    I love the clubby, vintage vibe of Palihouse in West Hollywood. Ditto on Palihotel in the same hood. The latest entry into Paliworld from developer and hotelier Avi Brosh is Palihouse Santa Monica and the design, not surprisingly, follows in its predecessors cool, throwback footsteps. The 36-room boutique beach lodge is in a historic landmark Spanish Colonial Revival-style building. The lobby above features a […]

    Loving The Gale in South Beach

    By Sara Bliss on June 6, 2013
    When I was in Miami checking out groovy new hotels for Refinery29, I completely fell in love with The Gale and its glamorous 1940s inspired design.  With only 87-rooms The Gale has a more grown-up, intimate feel than the ultra-sceney beachfront properties, but don’t let the smaller space fool you, the hotel offers everything you need for an amazing weekend. Want to […]
