El Cosmico
Location: Marfa, TX
Reservations
Embrace Mañana—the belief in slow living and hope for the future—in the beautiful, remote high plains desert of Marfa, Texas. Enveloped in what was once ocean, then Apache territory, and now a cattle ranch town and gathering place for artists and nomads, El Cosmico is the perfect backdrop for connecting to nature through doing nothing, or exploring the surrounding area.
While at El Cosmico you have the choice of staying in refurbished and renovated vintage trailers, a tepee, tent, or yurt. In their quest for simple living, El Cosmico adopted minimalistic yet functional furniture solutions, eliminating the busy, focusing on sustainability, and integrating the culture and history of the area with statement pieces and art.
Shed your dedication to productivity and enjoy the little things: a night under the stars, a campfire chat with a stranger, a weekend without cell service, a cup of coffee in the morning.

Post Ranch Inn
Location: Big Sur, CA
Reservations
Perched atop the wild cliffs of Big Sur lies the romantic and elegant retreat of the Post Ranch Inn. A panoramic, Pacific Ocean view is just one of the luxurious amenities offered at the Post Ranch Inn where guests can enjoy a myriad of activities including falconry, award-winning dining, and yoga.
Architect G.K. Muennig designed the Post Ranch Inn with nature in mind—constructing the resort to curve with the cliffs, encircle the trees, echo the aesthetic beauty of the surrounding redwoods, and guarantee breath-taking views for guests. The inn’s dedication to sustainability is seen in the choice of reclaimed building materials, the use of solar energy, and the landscape of native plants.
The banishment of alarm clocks and televisions immerses you in the art of both nature and the on-site galleries, encouraging relaxation and escape.
Amangiri
Location: Canyon Point, UT
Reservations
Nestled into the Grand Circle of Canyon Point, Utah, Amangiri embraces its namesake (aman meaning peace, and giri meaning mountain) by truly bringing peace to the remote, mountainous region. Your desert escape can be found in the tented pavilions of Camp Serika, the spacious suites of the resort, or in a private home. Serenity and relaxation continue with the hózhó healing of the holistic spa inspired by Navajo tradition, and extends into the personalized exploration packages which take you into the surrounding 600-acre majestic wilderness.
Guests can explore the Colorado Plateau, Grand Staircase-Escalante Monument, Navajo culture and history, slot canyons, and Lake Powell.
Amangiri effortlessly blends into the landscape, paying homage to its desert homeland through natural materials, clean, undisruptive lines, a sand-toned color palette, and expansive spaces.

The Deacon
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Reservations
The Bauhaus-inspired décor of The Deacon’s interior stands in stark contrast to the historical, Watson & Huckel-designed exterior and architecture of what was the First African Baptist Church in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood of Philadelphia. Original stained glass windows collaborate with pendant lights, sleek, modern furnishings, and arched doorways to illuminate and enliven the open space central to The Deacon, designed to encourage networking, celebration, creativity, and connection.
The Deacon believes traveling is more than getting from point A to point B, and prides itself on bringing the Philadelphia community to guests and showing off what the city has to offer. At The Deacon you’ll be close to City Hall, Love Park, Magic Gardens, Boot & Saddle, The Side Car Bar & Grille, Ultimo Coffee, and multiple subway stations.
