The AmiGo Edit 26: chic new hotels in NYC and Stockholm...

One of London’s best hotels and members clubs—The Twenty Two—has made its long-awaited landing in NYC. The Twenty Two New York is located near Union Square, where it offers 77 beautiful hotel rooms and members-only facilities including a top-floor nightclub, lounge areas to work and dine, a soon-to-open gym, and more. Luckily for the masses, the hotel’s restaurant is open to all, and it’s quite a splashy new opening. Cafe Zaffri, led by the team behind NoHo’s perennially popular and Michelin-starred Raf’s, is a Lebanese-influenced hot spot open for all-day dining.

There’s no shortage of amazing follows on AmiGo, but this month we’re excited about three users in particular:

@Rebecca.Goddard: Munich-based designer and stylist with recs in Berlin, Edinburgh, Paris, & more.
@franaszka: Warsaw-based architecture and CEE contemporary art specialist with recs in Berlin, Budapest, Brussels, & more.
@kerriof: Brooklyn-based influencer marketing specialist with recs in Mallorca, the Hudson Valley, LA, & more.

Fishwife, the female-founded brand that has been making tinned fish cool since launching in 2020 (thanks to epic flavors and really cool packaging), is expanding with a cookbook releasing this month, and it’s co-written by the founder and chef Vilda Gonzalez, one of our AmiGo tastemakers. While it might be challenging to not dive into your pantry and snack on their wild-caught or ethically farmed products—like a delicious smoked salmon with chili crisp—we’d recommend saving at least a few tins to try in their recipes, including everything from smoked mackerel udon bowls to rainbow trout tacos with peach and tomato salsa. Pre-order now for late-February delivery, and follow Vilda on AmiGo for her foodie-centric guides to Marseille, Hudson Valley, Copenhagen, & more.

The latest in a surge of member’s clubs to open in Milan is Wilde, a late-2024 arrival housed in Santo Versace’s old villa. Designed by the same team as Milan’s iconic Sant’Ambroeus café, the interiors were inspired by Villa Necchi Campiglio and meant to evoke a timeless, historic Milanese family home. Sprawling four floors, the chic address has a cigar lounge, several restaurants (with tableware from one of our favorite ateliers in the city, Laboratorio Paravicini), and a rooftop terrace. Soon to come? More Wilde clubs in London, New York, and Los Angeles. For more Milan news, read our latest article on the hottest new openings from local tastemaker Enrico Costantini.

A chic new hotel has arrived in Stockholm, set on the picturesque island of Södermalm, right in the city center. Located in a neoclassical building from 1875, the stylish Stockholm Stadshotell has 32 minimalist, mostly cream-colored rooms with marble bathrooms, high ceilings, and burl wood headboards, and a team that’s worked at some of the world's best hotels (NYC’s The Mercer, LA’s Chateau Marmont) and some of Stockholm’s top restaurants (Babette, Tengu). In addition to affordable rates, the cool, design-minded spot has a great culinary program (don’t miss the seasonal restaurant located in a former chapel) and spa with a sauna and cold plunge.
