As states begin to reopen and the travel and hospitality industries are able to start resuming their business under new guidelines, we are seeing the desire for smaller luxury hotels. These properties provide an escape from the day-to-day of our busy lives, while also allowing guests to ease back into travel without worrying about feeling overcrowded.  If you’re looking for an intimate getaway and top notch service, these properties should be at the top of your list!
