Blue Flag Capital, in partnership with in-house management company Collared Martin Hospitality, has announced the openings of Faraway Sag Harbor in Sag Harbor, N.Y., and Faraway Jackson Hole in Teton Village, Wyo., marking the brand’s first expansion beyond New England.
Faraway Sag Harbor is a reimagining of the former Baron’s Cove, now a 67-room hotel designed in collaboration with Jenny Bukovec Studio. The property’s restaurant, Zagara, is led by executive chef and culinary director Jarad McCarroll and offers Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Additional amenities include a heated outdoor pool with cabanas, a paddle court, spa treatment rooms seasonally operated by ONDA Beauty and a fitness center.
Faraway Jackson Hole, the former Snake River Lodge, features 90 guestrooms and suites and 48 residences. Designed in collaboration with Workshop/APD and Jenny Bukovec Studio under a “Wild Western Homestead” concept, the property includes an indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna and direct access to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Its restaurant, Sure Hand, serves locally inspired cuisine and craft cocktails. Later this summer, the hotel will offer adventure excursions with Backcountry Safaris, including horseback riding, whitewater rafting and tours of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
“From the beginning, our goal with Faraway was never to create a formula but rather a collection of hotels that each tell a unique story about the place they inhabit,” said Jason Brown, co-founder and CEO of Blue Flag Capital. “Sag Harbor and Jackson Hole are incredibly different destinations, but both share the qualities we look for—strong identities, rich histories and communities that care deeply about where they live. We’re excited to bring the Faraway brand to each market in a way that feels authentic to its surroundings.”
“What excites us most is that neither property looks or feels like the other,” said Brad Guidi, co-founder and chief development officer of Blue Flag Capital. “Every design decision, restaurant concept, and guest experience was developed specifically for its destination. We believe that hospitality is most meaningful when it reflects the culture, history, and character of a place, and these openings are a reflection of that philosophy.”
The openings follow the recent debut of Hotel Corduroy in Montauk and precede the planned opening of Oyster Estate in Greenport this summer, part of the company’s existing collection of properties on Nantucket, including Blue Iris, Brass Lantern Inn and Life House Nantucket, alongside Faraway Nantucket and Faraway Martha’s Vineyard.
