Cozy Up at These 14 Warm and Wondrous Places
Winter hibernation starts now.
Ah, cozy season…the best time of the year. During these chilly months, comfort takes top priority, as do retreats into charming, nostalgic and soothing settings. When the days get shorter and the trees more barren, we turn to candles, blankets, knit clothes, and hot drinks. We engage in hobbies like reading (ideally by a fireplace), baking, and board games, or relax in warm baths with scented soaps and smooth jazz.
These unique places around the globe capture this snug spirit, allowing the simple pleasures of life to converge with slow living and homey environs. From a cafe-bookstore with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves to an igloo hotel in the Arctic, here are some of the best spots to fill your cup and embrace cozy season wholeheartedly.
