Adore December 2020

The guest rooms are stocked with local finds including robes by Lekha, chocolates from Piety and Desire, and an assortment of vinyls from Peaches Records.

The property officially opened to hotel guests and diners in late October after more than two years of preparation. Designed by Thomas Sully as a private residence and most recently utilized as a bed and breakfast, The Chloe boasts many original details thoughtfully enhanced by interior designer Sara Ruffin Costello. Modern colors and amenities, a wide range of art and photography on the walls (curated by photographer Paul Costello), and unique guest rooms with "fun little discoveries" set the tone for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. "We want people to be inspired by our food, drink, hospitality, and design, but we want it to be playful and fun, and not so delicate where people feel anxious engaging it. Sara designs the exact same way. She wants everything to be inspiring — and it is — but there is no chair that wasn't designed to be sat in." Every part of the destination is extremely livable: the lobby with its many stations and nooks for work and play, the backyard which boasts a dazzling pool and outdoor bar, and the front porch with its classic rocking chairs. "A lot of people will sit out with a cocktail and let the world pass by."
