We invite you to step inside, take a look at our collection, and join our journey to explore the unknown.
We have been recognized by some of the world’s most respected publications for our unique collection of boutique properties. Our hotels in North America and The Bahamas have been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, Global Traveler, and many more, highlighting the distinct character, design, and experiences that define our brand.
A Stone’s Throw Away
A classic Caribbean mansion house, A Stone’s Throw Away, is situated in The Bahamas on one of Nassau’s highest points, giving visitors a rare and spectacular view of the ocean and island down below. Take a dip in the gorgeous blue waters of the Caribbean, and learn a bit about the island way of life, just a stone’s throw away from home.

Connect to the world that is in our backyards. Every hotel in our collection represents a truly spectacular microcosm of local culture, natural phenomena, and unique experiences. Recently, we partnered with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to offer eccentric opportunities to see local birds up close and personal, and connect with fellow ornithology enthusiasts to learn more about native bird migration patterns, mating and nesting habits, and more. Bird enthusiasts who visit our properties will be able to connect with this valuable network to explore birds from California to The Bahamas.
