In an exciting development for the hospitality industry, Blue Flag Capital, a Boston-based investment firm, is set to significantly expand its footprint with the launch of four new boutique hotels under its Faraway brand. This strategic move underscores the firm’s commitment to design-driven hospitality, as it prepares to debut the hotels in iconic locations such as Montauk, Sag Harbor, Greenport, and Jackson Hole in the summer of 2026.
A Transformative Year for Blue Flag Capital
According to a recent press release, Blue Flag Capital’s expansion is not just about increasing numbers; it is about enhancing guest experiences through thoughtful design and a strong sense of place. The firm is already known for its celebrated properties in Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, and this expansion reinforces its reputation for creating unique, culturally rich environments.
New Properties Overview
The new openings include:
- Faraway Jackson Hole – Jackson Hole, WY
- Faraway Sag Harbor – Sag Harbor, NY
- Hotel Corduroy – Montauk, NY
- Oyster Estate – Greenport, NY
Faraway Jackson Hole
Marking its first foray into the American West, Faraway Jackson Hole will be a contemporary mountain retreat featuring 90 rooms and 48 residences. The design will reflect a modern mountain aesthetic, integrating warm natural interiors with breathtaking alpine views. Guests can look forward to amenities such as a year-round pool, a full-service restaurant named Sure Hand, and direct access to ski slopes, making it an attractive year-round destination.
Faraway Sag Harbor
Continuing its expansion on the East Coast, Faraway Sag Harbor is set to transform the historic Baron’s Cove into a 67-room boutique hotel, rich in maritime history. With a focus on community-driven experiences, the hotel will feature a waterfront restaurant, Zagara, offering Amalfi Coast-inspired seafood, and design elements that evoke a collected-over-time aesthetic.
Hotel Corduroy
Hotel Corduroy will offer a refined interpretation of Montauk’s surf culture, featuring 29 stylishly designed guest rooms and a private beach for an authentic coastal experience. The property will open in early May 2026, welcoming guests to enjoy its expansive central lawn and vibrant social spaces.
Oyster Estate
The Oyster Estate will introduce a 34-room boutique hotel in Greenport, NY, inspired by the area’s nautical heritage. The hotel will center around a newly built courtyard pool and bar, Fortune Favors, making it a social hub for guests.
Commitment to Design and Community
Jason Brown, Co-Founder and CEO of Blue Flag Capital, emphasizes that true hospitality connects deeply with guests and the surrounding community. He stated, “Honoring historic properties goes far beyond preserving beautiful buildings; it’s about honoring the people, traditions, and hospitality that make these places so meaningful.” This commitment to design and community-driven experiences positions Blue Flag as an innovative leader in the hospitality sector.
Future Prospects
This expansion signifies more than just new properties; it marks a pivotal moment for Blue Flag Capital and its Faraway brand. With plans for further international expansion and a clear commitment to blending distinctive design with local culture, Blue Flag is poised to become a key player in the competitive landscape of lifestyle hospitality.
As the hospitality industry evolves, the success of Blue Flag Capital’s expansion will likely depend on its ability to deliver unique, immersive experiences that resonate with today’s travelers. The upcoming launches of these hotels in summer 2026 promise to enhance the tourism landscape in their respective locations, offering guests the opportunity to engage with the culture and community of each destination.
