Here’s to *hopefully* traveling more in the new year.
In terms of traveling, 2020 was kind of a wash; but, with a vaccine out, I like to think there’s some hope on the horizon for traveling in 2021. To make it better, there are some amazing hotels opening in the new year. From New York to Versailles, these are the hotels you’re gonna want to know about (before everyone else finds out through Instagram).

The Nomad will be opening their first international property in February 2021 in London’s Covent Garden. Formerly Bow Street Magistrates Court and Police Station, the building has no shortage of history: suffragette pioneers including the Pankhursts and playwright Oscar Wilde are just some of the people who’ve faced the law here. Since then, jail cells have transformed into beautiful suites and guests can enjoy amenities like the “Common Decency” bar.
