Begin and end a festive day in Annapolis, Maryland, with laid-back luxury at 1313 West, a seven-suite boutique hotel that opened in July as a sister property to nearby 134 Prince.
Each elegantly designed suite includes percale linens on a cooling charcoal-infused, memory-foam mattress, a Nespresso machine, a record player (with a selection of albums) and a spa-like bathroom with herbal products from Farmaesthetics. Some also have a stand-alone tub for a relaxing soak.
Suites are named after former Triple Crown-winning horses, such as Secretariat, American Pharaoh and Seattle Slew. Common areas include an elegant parlor room, and a wraparound porch where visitors can enjoy their morning coffee on teak rocking chairs that overlook the lawn and garden terrace.
Tucked away on the lower level, the Jockey Club Lounge, a guests-only speakeasy, takes its design inspiration from New York City’s famous Polo Bar.
The hotel will be decked out in holiday finery as Annapolis enjoys a season full of festive traditions and events, including the Grand Illumination of the Annapolis Tree, a lighted boat parade, the Chocolate Binge Festival and an annual holiday market with live entertainment. See Annapolis Tourism for details.
Rates at 1313 West begin at $399 per night and include a full breakfast, fresh-baked cookies in the afternoon, plus coffee, espresso and tea throughout the day. Tesla chargers are available. // 1313 West St., Annapolis, Maryland, 410-417-7888.
