A New Hotel Concept Offers Airbnb-Style Features - AFAR

"Opened in July and featuring the same Studio Commons layout connecting four 250–280 sq ft guest rooms to a 600–650 sq ft private communal kitchen, dining, and living area, this keyed-off unit rents as a single space for up to eight overnight guests (king beds) and can accommodate social gatherings of up to 20 people. Designed to support families and multi-generational travel, the property offers curated group experiences—group cooking classes in the communal kitchen, volunteering at a local animal shelter, horseback riding, hiking, and zip-lining—while guests retain access to hotel amenities like a saltwater pool, 24-hour fitness center, bike lending, complimentary breakfast, and wine-and-beer happy hours. Rates at this location start around $800 per night for the full four-room unit with common area and kitchen." - Michelle Baran
