A captivating collection of stylish getaways and the modern innkeepers who crafted them


The Inn Crowd invites readers into more than than 20 unique, stylish independent inns across the Northeastern United States. These charming and gracious properties aren’t just places to stay – they are dreams realized, reflecting the innkeepers’ creativity, ingenuity, and drive.


Ranging from quaint escapes to luxurious retreats, the one-of-a-kind spaces are a testament to the vision and passion of the innkeepers behind them. 


Featured inns include The George, beauty mogul Bobbi Brown’s hotel in a landmarked Georgian Revival building; Glenmere Mansion, a stunning Gilded Age estate restored and transformed into a luxury resort; The Inn at Kenmore Hall, the exceedingly handsome white-columned guesthouse co-owned by Frank Muytjens, former head of menswear at J.Crew; Inns of Aurora, the veritable village of historic properties assembled by Pleasant Rowland, creator of the American Girl doll; and Long Island’s Silver Sands, a beloved midcentury motel reinvented as a modern beach club. 


Lushly illustrated with more than 250 evocative photographs and featuring lively profiles of the innkeepers themselves, The Inn Crowd invites readers to experience firsthand these unforgettable destinations.
