Wild landscapes, expert help and solitude – a good retreat can make all the difference. So, feed your soul, lose yourself in your work, and escape it all at one of these five writing sanctums.<\/p>\n

\"79e71ab9-Glencanisp-Lodge-Scotland.jpg?1587702299\"<\/p>\n

Glencanisp Lodge, Lochinver, Scotland
————————————-<\/p>\n

Owned by the local community, Glencanisp Lodge<\/a> is pretty unique. With no in-room TV or Wi-Fi, the outside world won’t distract you from the pure escapism of this incredible place. Located in the heart of the North West Highland Geo-park, it’s surrounded by 44,000 acres of community-owned land, where the wild and rugged wilderness will inspire and revive you. Look out for residential courses, retreats and workshops, or simply stay here in the wilds of Scotland and write. Have a look at our hotels in Lochinver<\/a> page for more options.<\/p>\n

\"fdad9073-The-Betsy-South-Beach-Florida.jpg?1587702380\"<\/p>\n

The Betsy – South Beach, Miami Beach, Florida
———————————————<\/p>\n

The Betsy<\/a> is a beach-side resort hotel with an creative agenda, delivering wide-ranging arts and culture programmes, live music and exhibitions. However, it’s the Writer’s Room that writers will most likely be interest in. A working studio space, it’s a nod to the pre-WW2 hotel rooms that offered guests a space to write. The desk in this room once belonged to wartime poet Hyam Plutzik, whose son Jonathan now owns the hotel. Emerging writers can apply for a residency. In return for a free stay, writers usually contribute to Betsy’s blog and speak about their work at a community event. Have a look at our hotels in Miami<\/a> page for more options<\/p>\n

\"b82b172b-Hotel-Belleclaire-New-York.jpg?1587702599\"<\/p>\n

Hotel Belleclaire, New York
—————————<\/p>\n

With views of Broadway, Hotel Belleclaire<\/a> is a writer’s dream. You could easily hole up in the expansive Broadway King Room for a few days, just you and your laptop – or typewriter – on the work desk. With the same Broadway views, the Mark Twain Suite has a wooden writing desk and Twain memorabilia on the walls. Out on the streets of NYC there’s no shortage of inspiration – or relief. If a bit of buzz inspires you, this is the place to be. Have a look at our hotels in New York<\/a> page for more options.<\/p>\n

\"8ae7888c-Finca-Luna-Neuva-Lodge-Costa-Rica.jpg?1587702720\"<\/p>\n

Finca Luna Nueva Lodge, Costa Rica
———————————-<\/p>\n

Finca Luna Nueva Lodge<\/a> claims to be a slice of paradise and a living classroom. A rainforest lodge and educational centre, it offers peace, adventure and a little bit of luxury. Aside from conservation and natural living, the centre hosts some pretty enlightening retreats, including writing retreats. Book a private bungalow or ‘Casa de Barro’, a clay earth-bag house in a lovely, private setting. Take advantage of yoga and meditation at the Yoga Pavilion, and enjoy the spa, jacuzzi, pool and restaurant. Have a look at our hotels in San Isidro de Penas Blancas<\/a> page for more options.<\/p>\n

\"b6cf396c-Le-Pavillion-des-Lettres-Paris.jpg?1587702819\"<\/p>\n

Le Pavillon des Lettres, Paris, France
————————————–<\/p>\n

From Ernest Hemingway to James Baldwin, James Joyce and Oscar Wilde, not to mention Moliere, Balzac and Zola, the city of Paris has long been a draw for writers from around the world. If you’re thinking of heading to the French capital to follow in their literary footsteps, how about a writing retreat in a hotel where every room is dedicated to a single writer and a single letter of the alphabet? At Le Pavillon des Lettres<\/a> in the 8th arrondissement, words from different writers are incorporated into the design of the rooms to inspire your own works and, of course, all rooms have a comfortable place to write. For more options, take a look at our hotels in Paris<\/a> page.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
