My mind keeps on bringing me back to New Haven, so that I can return to the Study Hotel. In my experience, there isn't another hotel more suited to me. If you've never had a reason to visit Yale, let me describe what I love about it.
First of all, it is on the same street as the campus. For those of us not determined or fortunate enough to have entered the domain of an ivy league school, this campus has mysterious secret societies and also amazingly open forums. We went to 2 free art galleries within blocks of the hotel, showcasing Picasso and Charles Darwin, no less.
Even if you never left the hotel and forgot to look at New Haven or Yale, you could still learn something. Our room housed a hundred books on shelves that invited you to rest there in 2 reading ready armchairs. Books and hourglasses, on surfaces everywhere in the hotel, remind you to take the time to learn. Read something!
The stunning and small hotel bar hosts professors and parents of students, and feeds them in the way they've become accustomed to in New York and Boston. The staff was more than friendly, they were genuine, like people who see you again and again. It was perfect food, drink and engaging conversation.
Big thanks to Paul McGowan for his incredible vision for this boutique hotel. It has won all of our favors.
