Looking for a staycation that pulls out all the stops?
It can be attained right here in the Garden State.
According to Esquire.com's list The Best New Hotels in the World 2025, Pendry Natirar in Peapack is the best hotel in New Jersey and among the best around the world.
The popular gentlemen's magazine list only contains 42 properties in which writer's of the publication reviewed themselves by becoming guests at each entity.
Here is what the popular magazine said about Pendry Natirar:
"Did I expect my favorite hotel stay of the year to be in I-don't-know-where New Jersey? (Peapack, formally.) Absolutely not. Am I still thinking about it? All the time. Perched on top of a towering hill, the hotel grounds boast a gorgeous wellness spa, a cozy restaurant, and a lobby that looks like it belongs somewhere in the Biltmore. The kicker: Pendry Natirar is fueled by the sprawling farm on the property, which you can tour, and where you can say hi to the chickens and pick up goodies. (I'm still using the honey they gave me.) It all makes for an intimate, Hudson-esque adventure — but without the hike upstate. Rooms from $675." — Brady Langmann
Pendry Natirar is a stately escape on 500 rolling acres in Somerset County, constructed with 68 guestrooms and 21 suites. The hotel has luxurious and comfortable amenities with a combination of rich traditional and contemporary country influence and style. The location has a winery, afternoon teas and offers pilates classes to guests.
Pendry Natirar is where daily life is laced with inspiration and where nature guides us from season to season in splendor. A haven from the bustling tempo of the city's pace, and located just an hour outside of New York City, we have reimagined Natirar's historic grounds into an idyllic retreat layered with luxury, comfort and endless allure, according to Pendry.com.

Bill Belichick has tried to land Jordon Hudson ‘6-figure' jobs, insider says
Bill Belichick has reportedly been trying to line up some lucrative gigs for his girlfriend (and rumored fiancée) Jordon Hudson. Journalist Pablo Torre, who has been prolific in reporting about the Belichick-Hudson relationship, told Pro Football Talk that the former Patriots coach has tried to boost Hudson's career. Advertisement 'Bill Belichick has told multiple people that I've talked to directly – he has called her brilliant. He has tried to get her six-figure jobs on the media enterprises that he was also working for," Torre said. Torre, the host of Pablo Torre Finds Out, has been vocal in highlighting the significant role Hudson plays in Belichick's life and business. Torre noted that, sure, the 49-year age gap is something that draws attention. However, he notes that there's a big story here. As the head coach at North Carolina, Belichick is the highest-paid public employee in the state. At the same time, Hudson has been acting as his agent, manager and PR specialist. Torre disputed the idea that Hudson was merely handling 'lower level stuff' like social media. He insists that Hudson is 'at the top' of Belichcick's operations. Advertisement 'She is the CEO of Belichick Productions, even if that LLC is not actually incorporated anywhere. That's the LinkedIn profile,' Torre said. 'She is his idea mill and creative muse, per the acknowledgments page of his book. She is the person that you had to deal with if you were Matt (expletive) Damon. The whole idea of, 'No, she's doing the lower level stuff.' No, this is at the top.' Why mention Damon? Torre noted earlier in the interview that Damon and Ben Affleck were put in the usual position of having to negotiate with Hudson when they tried to get Belichick to be in their Dunkin' Super Bowl commercial. Per Torre, the meeting left the actors 'flabbergasted.' More Patriots Content Read the original article on MassLive.

24 Cheaper Alternatives To Lululemon
A pair of Dreamlux leggings reviewers compare to Lululemon's Align version because 1) they're ridiculously and aaamazingly soft, 2) they're squat-proof, and 3) the level of comfort they provide is truly worthy of a heftier price we'll gladly take the affordable $24.99 that they are. An affordable, Lululemon-esque longline sports bra featuring built-in padding, meaning you don't need to wear a bra. (Yep, you heard me!) If you're like me and throw your bra across the room like a shotput Olympic champion when you get home... just get this top now. Oh, and you can hike, work out, and do yoga comfortably in it too, but you know, minor detail in comparison. An adjustable mini belt bag that's so similar to Lululemon's viral pouch, you'll have to do a double-take. Its versatility allows you to wear it around your waist or your shoulders (my personal fave), and even though it's compact, it holds a surprising amount inside, too! This isn't a regular fanny pack, it's a ~cool~ fanny pack that's got reviewers obsessed with the chic and sleek design. A pair of high-waisted quick-dry running shorts made of lightweight, quick-dry material that won't get in the way of your workout. Some reviewers even compare these cuties to the more expensive Lululemon version (with the bonus of an underwear liner and large side pockets). A comfy yoga romper reviewers say is comparable to our favorite athletic brand because the quality is THAT good. It comes complete with *perfect* stretchy material and adjustable straps. I'm not saying this will motivate you to do yoga, but you'd look super cute in this if you did! A cropped workout jacket with curved stitching that highlights your silhouette in a *great* way. The Lululemon Define jackets might have some serious competition! A boxy tee, because a shirt like this would cost you nearly $50 at Ms. Lemon. It's a simple piece that is basically a closet essential (especially if you're looking to expand your wardrobe basics on a budget!). This oversized tee would look stylish on your weekend hike *and* during happy hour cocktails. The options? Limitless. A must? Absolutely. A comfortable pair of biker shorts — the stylish, socially acceptable form of PJs we all love to wear (even with zero intentions of getting on a bike). They come in a ton of different colors and patterns, too! A moisture-wicking sleeveless workout dress, because it can 100% be worn even when not working out (just ask the hundreds of reviewers). This comfy and stylish dress is made of suuuper soft and lightweight fabric and even has a built-in bra and compressive inner shorts with pockets! Did someone say brilliant? A super cute sweetheart bodysuit reviewers say is worth *every* penny! It's made with especially smooth and buttery material from Pumiey's Smoke Cloud collection, and the elegant neckline kicks it up from a maybe to a must-have. Reviewers say it's similar to the Lululemon Wundermust body suit that costs more than five times the price! An adjustable sports bra made with deliciously smooth fabric, four-way stretch, and adjustable straps to ensure a great fit. The comfy compression will help keep you secure whether you're running errands or running the trails. You might want to grab the matching leggings, too, just to complete the look. Lulu who!?? An oversized waffle knit cardigan that gives me the same vibes as Lululemon's crochet knit cardigan: comfy with a relaxed fit. It's great for layering in the winter and wearing with a tank in the summer. Everyone needs an easy-to-style sweater in their closet, and this is *thee* one. A reviewer-proclaimed "better than Lulu" workout tank with a built-in bra — I repeat — Built. In. Bra! This top is comfy, seamless, and less than half the price of the trending Ebe to Street tank. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers that'll have people on the street complimenting your Lulu's because they're so similar. With the same stretchy waistband and incredibly comfy loose fit, I'll leave it to you whether or not you admit that these gems aren't the Align joggers! OR a pair of lightweight, mid-rise athletic joggers which look eerily similar to the Dance Studio pants that cost over a hundred buckaroos. They've got comfy stretchy waist, a drawstring hem and waist, and deep pockets that can fit more than just your pinky finger. The fabric is breathable and quick-drying, too — perfect for the gym, according to reviewers! A cropped tank because it's the stylish basic that is absolutely essential to have in at least two of the 20+ color options. And why double-up on a top that costs $50+, when this one can be worn the same way at half the price? This easy-to-style piece is made of a comfy material so thick and stretchy that some reviewers say you won't need a bra either! A ribbed workout jumpsuit that's compressive yet breathable, comfortable yet stylish, high quality yet affordable. (At least compared to the Lulu options. 👀) According to reviewers, it's thick enough to prevent undie lines, too — thank goodness! A super cute tennis skirt featuring built-in shorts with inner pockets so that you're (literally) covered whether you're on the pickleball court or sitting on a bar stool enjoying your Cesar salad and truffle Reviewers compare this closet must-have to Lululemon's Align skirt! High-waisted flare leggings — the ultimate lounge essential your closet is missing. Reviewers say these babies are *extremely* comfortable and stretchy and that they work great for everything from yoga to working from home (aka the couch). Aside from having a TON of color options, these beauties have over 17,000 5-star ratings, too. Can I say the same for Lululemon's flares? Nope! A matching set with seams and material that remind me of Lu-know-who's scuba collection. The joggers have pockets (!!) an elastic waist, and a super cute line detail going down the leg, while the top's cropped cut makes it an easy mix n' match option. Plus, is any athleisure collection complete without a matching set? Or a versatile oversized tee and shorts set for when just the idea of sweatpants literally makes you sweat. Snagging a matching set from Madame Lulu herself would *easily* cost you over $100, but this two-piece is a steal at under $25. A cute 'n sporty pullover with a quarter zip, a giant kangaroo pocket, and, according to reviewers, an astonishing amount of comfort. Spending hundreds on casual wear is so last year. Looking like a hundred bucks, however? That's *always* in. A "buttery soft" backless workout top perfect for high-movement activities like hiking and working out, and low-movement activities like vegging out on the couch watching the latest season of Love it's just that comfortable. Isn't that the definition of "athlesuire" anyway? Ultra soft wide-leg sweatpants that may look like the Lululemon Softstreme pants, but surprise! These alternatives are from Amazon and are *truly* multifunctional. Running through the airport to catch a flight? You've got a cute pair of sweats to throw on in a hurry. Hibernating at home? Time to break out these comfy pants.
