9 Hotels With Private Villas, from California to Ireland | Vogue

"Drawing travelers away from hectic Los Angeles and down the coast to leisurely, low‑key Orange County, this new Newport Beach hotel opened in April of this year with a crisp, nautical theme that runs through its breezy lobby and 130 guest rooms, but it’s the private “cottages” making the biggest stir. Despite the name, these are massive, three‑story townhouses, each a 2‑ or 3‑bedroom space with a unique layout by a different local designer for a homey yet polished feel. Gleaming kitchens, mosaic tile showers, and rooftop decks with fireplaces are just a few of the reasons to upgrade from a regular hotel room to these 1,500‑square‑foot private residences." - Alex Schechter
