Introverts can maximize their creativity with a solo retreat at this 12-room boutique hotel, the former home of the women-only New Century Guild. While you have to book an overnight stay to access the hotel, it’s an adventure: You’ll be immersed in mid-century modern and vintage furnishings in one-of-a-kind workspaces.
STYLE & ATMOSPHERE: Each room is an elegant representation of the life and personality of a New Century Guild member, thanks to restoration efforts by Philadelphia-based architecture firm Moto Designshop and female-owned-and-operated ROHE Creative. Make use of the antique secretary desk in the Eliza suite, situated in the Guild’s former library; a desk lamp and inkwell-pen station in the Edith Art Deco suite; or warm cafe-style benches in the Emily and Alice deluxe suites. The dining room, where the club’s “noon rests” were held, is a lovely emerald-green lounge in which to start or end your day.

Free wi-fi.
Table, desk and chair in each room.
