North Carolina’s Outer Banks Has a Chic New Hotel

Hatteras Island, one of the barrier islands in the beloved Outer Banks coastal region of North Carolina, is known for its breathtaking beaches and storied maritime legacy, but less so for its style, trendiness, or fashion.

But that may change on June 15, when boutique hotel Edgecamp Pamlico Station opens its doors to guests. It has a fair chance to elevate the destination’s fashion cred thanks to a design by the one and only Jonathan Adler, who was taken with the area’s natural beauty.

“The first time I visited Pamlico Station, I was in awe of the landscape,” Adler told Travel + Leisure. “The hotel sits alongside one of the largest preserved parcels of the Outer Banks’ shoreline, and when you’re there, you are surrounded by the blue of the sky, the yellow of the sun, and the white of the clouds. I was immediately drawn to the project upon visiting it and knew I wanted to create something that was unlike anything else in the Outer Banks.”
