An arty urbanite in New York and other fresh stays

Summer stays in Tennessee, San Diego, Mexico and beyond [View in browser]( [Image](   [HOTELS]( [INSPIRATION]( [OFFERS]( Minutes from Soho, Chinatown and the East Village, [Untitled at 3 Freeman Alley]( taps into New York's uninhibited art scene. It recalls the city's artists' lofts with its mural-daubed alleyway art gallery, pared-back Scandi rooms and dressed-down rooftop bar, where you can sling back tequila-and-cardamom martinis in view of Manhattan’s peerless skyline. The outlook is good elsewhere, with newcomers in rural Tennessee, Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains and Portugal's placid Comporta… [SEE WHAT'S NEW](   [PRIMLAND RESORT, VIRGINIA]( The pioneer spirit is strong at Primland Resort, a hotel on a Blue Ridge Mountain estate the size of Bermuda. The wilderness is your playground here, lending itself to horseback tours of the Old Appalachian trail, fly fishing on the Dan River and blasting around on an off-road vehicle. It's not all rugged frontiersman though: the luxuries include four fine restaurants, a walk-in wine cellar and a spa influenced by Native American medicine. [VIEW HOTEL](   [Alternate text]( [THE LAFAYETTE HOTEL, SAN DIEGO]( San Diego’s LaFayette Hotel is a Babylonian den of indulgence reminiscent of a Baz Luhrmann film set, with rooms outfitted with riotous combinations of animal print, tassel-fringed lamps and wallpapers in every pattern and colour. Heavy doses of Fifties nostalgia are also on display in the 24-hour diner, New Orleans-riffing bar and the Hollywood-esque pool club beneath the palms. [VIEW HOTEL](   [CAMPOS POLANCO, MEXICO CITY]( A neighbourhood of sun-dappled squares, leafy avenues and ritzy restaurants, Polanco is Mexico City’s answer to Beverly Hills. Campos Polanco certainly got the memo, occupying a revamped art deco building with knockout mid-century rooms dressed with dark-wood panelling, svelte furniture and sculptural lighting. There’s an abundance of social spaces to kick back in, including a rooftop bar where free mezcal is dished out daily. [VIEW HOTEL](   [SOUTHALL FARM & INN, TENNESSEE]( Greenwashing be gone: this working farm south of Nashville is the real deal, with 60 varieties of apple growing in its orchards, flourishing kitchen gardens, seed-saving programs, a thriving apiary and much more besides. Stays revolve around the bounty of the land, whether that’s spa treatments powered by medicinal herbs, dinners of house-smoked meats and farm-fresh veg, or bee-keeping classes and solstice celebrations. [VIEW HOTEL](   [INDEPENDENTE COMPORTA, PORTUGAL]( Sandwiched between the Atlantic and the Alentejo, Comporta claims pristine beaches, sleepy farmsteads and swathes of fragrant pine forest. Spread over 30 acres of rolling greens, Independente Comporta is all about that nature. There’s a saltwater pool framed by blooming gardens, a seasonal restaurant, and a host of rural romps to get stuck into, too, from horse-riding across verdant fields to paddle-boarding in the nearby lagoon.
