Annabelle Hunton said, “It is a thrill for us to win this award … representing New England and Martha’s Vineyard at this international travel event. To win this recognition as an independent, locally owned, seven-room boutique hotel, going against the top properties in the luxury hotel sector, is an incredible honor. We are grateful to our guests, staff, and the local community for supporting our goal to provide a unique, best-in-class boutique hotel experience.”
