The Art of Doing Nothing
Date Published
Last month a guest from Manhattan asked, half-jokingly, “What is there to do here?”
Our reply has become legend: “Absolutely nothing. Twice a day if you wish.”
He laughed, then booked an extra night.
Palette Suite has no television in the rooms, no spa menu longer than one page, and no scheduled activities before 10 a.m. or after sunset. Instead we offer the rarest luxury of 2025: permission.
Permission to read an entire novel in one sitting.
Permission to watch clouds without naming them.
Permission to let the day unfold like linen in warm water.
Guests tell us the moment they stop trying to “to relax” is the moment they actually do.
We merely remove the distractions. The rest, miraculously, takes care of itself.
