When Silicon Valley tech money meets the country’s biggest celebrity sushi chef, you get this ultra-contemporary luxury hotel with, of course, a Nobu restaurant included.

You can walk off "miner-size" breakfasts on the enjoyable hike through the scenic Copper Hills just outside.

It's undeniably cool, combining a hip, slightly gritty feel with some luxe touches, but don't expect a lot of space to spread out—guest rooms have exposed distressed-cement ceilings and walls, with minimalist modern decor; north-facing rooms have unobstructed views of the Empire State Building (ask for a room with a terrace during warm months). A curtain separates the shower from the sleeping area.

The coastal acreage on which the main inn, with its recently renovated rooms, and cottages are set was an original land grant by Great Britain’s King George III in 1767 to John and Hannah Billings, direct ascendants of the current innkeepers, Rick and Robin Littlefield.
