Best places to travel in 2022

In the Travel+Leisure publication’s 50 best places to travel in 2022, their list spans from far-flung destinations to hometown favorites, with 23 locales in North America. Here is what they said about #31 – Newport, Rhode Island:

Newport is considered one of the sailing capitals of the world. It is home to the largest fleet of America’s Cup 12 Meter yachts, most of which are available for charter. In May, the coastal town is welcoming a Sailing Museum that is sure to solidify that title.

Over the past few years, a slew of hotel openings have closed a much-needed gap for luxury accommodations, including Hammett’s Hotel, Brenton Hotel, and The Wayfinder Hotel. The Vanderbilt, Auberge Resorts Collection is debuting the property’s highly anticipated transformation conceived by Dallas-based design collective Swoon — the lobby, dining room, and shared areas are now complete with guest rooms finishing early next year.

Renowned beverage executive Maxwell Britten has joined the team as chief cocktail curator with James Beard award–winning chef April Bloomfield, who cooks up a selection of elevated pub-inspired dishes. And don’t miss Giusto, at Hammett’s Hotel, which serves up excellent Italian with a Rhode Island twist.
