Why You’ll Love It
- Two welcome cocktails at the Libertine
- Elle called it “the coolest hotel in the Financial District by far”
- Bi-level Library Bar is a one of a kind
Director Wes Anderson has never designed a hotel. One look at Gild Hall, though, and we have to admit that’s hard to believe. Retro eclectic, safari meets the country club, vintage chic; however you describe it, the feeling Bill Murray’s about to round the corner is ever present at this boutique hotel.
Just blocks from Delmonico’s? Perfect. The Financial District teems with candy shops for adults: fancy cocktails, designer shopping, gourmet cuisine; it’s all here. And when you hear the callings of other neighborhoods, convenient transportation is right at your doorstep.
Nights in NYC can be, well … sleepless. So when it does come time to crash, you want a cocoon more than a bed. Gild gets this. After a night out, slip on your oversized terry cloth robe and crawl into a bed that really puts the “ohhhh” in cozy.

Why You’ll Love It
- Celebrated in The New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, and Travel + Leisure
- Private poolside villas
- Two blocks from Healdsburg Plaza
Escape the clutter of the office at the place Travel + Leisure praises as “a minimalist’s dream come true”—Duchamp Hotel. Your stylish digs are only minutes from Healdsburg Plaza, home to the simplest pleasures of wine country: art galleries, gourmet eateries, and, of course, tasting rooms.
At this hotel, you’re not only a guest—you’re a VIP. Lounge on your private terrace after a delectable breakfast or lead a champagne toast by the in-room fireplace. When you decide to venture out, a concierge will let you in on all the local secrets.
Your visit wouldn’t be complete without complimentary wine tasting at Duchamp Winery. But be careful with those liberal pours of organic, hand-crafted Syrah. A few glasses and you may want to make Healdsburg your permanent stomping grounds.

“Materials are very modern and minimalist. The bed is awesome—I wanted to take it home … Duchamp is such a quiet and relaxing place to stay. It feels like a hidden country summer home.”
“A hidden-away, modern, minimalist gem a block and a half from the Healdsburg square. Each cottage is super private and very spacious … not to mention very clean.”

“One-of-a-kind, beautiful, classy hotel with tons of privacy. The fact that there are only six ‘rooms’ (they are actually fully detached bungalows around a pool) made for a very quiet weekend getaway for this couple … I loved it.”
“This place is so wonderful … The location is perfect for walking to the square. The rooms are ultra-hip-styling with a comfy firm bed … Everything was fantastic.”

Urban Dare Adventure Race – McFadden’s…
Signup Now!!!
Bravery is one of humankind’s most sought-after characteristics, alongside wit, humor, and the ability to read a city map without pulling a hamstring. Make your species proud with today’s Groupon: for $45, you get admission for a team of two to the Urban Dare Adventure Race(up to a $90 value), launching at noon on Saturday, April 21, from McFadden’s on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Urban Dare Adventure Race is a fast-paced competition that challenges two-person teams to decipher clues, navigate the city, and perform playful stunts. Combining the bustle of a track meet with the brain-taxing sleuth work of a luge competition, the race uses a dozen trivia-based clues to lead contestants to checkpoints all over Washington, DC. Location hunters reach their checkpoints by whatever means necessary, be it hopping a bus downtown, flying madly through a network of secret ziplines, or scuba-diving in a fountain for bus fare. At the mini destinations, racers must use a camera to document their presence, or, in some cases, get their passports stamped after completing a challenge.
Races generally last less than four hours, and the winner receives free entry to the next Super Dare, which has a $5,000 grand prize that allows the winners to dare each other to invest in a low-risk mutual fund. Proceeds from the race are used to help battle breast cancer.
