91 Athens Riviera
Athens, GreeceOne of the more interesting hotels to open on the Athenian Riviera, a revitalizing stretch of coastline south of the Greek capital, 91 Athens Riviera offers a stylish twist on glamping near the beach, featuring a collection of luxurious canvas tents outfitted with king-sized beds, spacious bathrooms, and furnished decks.
Casa TO
Puerto Escondido, MexicoAlong the Pacific coast of Oaxaca, Casa TO is an architectural statement: austere beauty almost entirely composed of raw concrete, designed by architect Ludwig Godefroy with just a few economical gestures towards luxe comfort and Oaxacan tradition, and pools that wind through unforgettable circular archways.
Xcape River Kwai
Kanchanaburi, ThailandFor the Xcape River Kwai, architecture, design, landscape architecture, and nature work together to make a powerful impression. This luxury hotel is fully integrated into the lush scenery, with eclectic lodgings ranging from floating cabins on River Kwai to sculptural pool villas inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater.
The Jay
San Francisco, CA, USAThe Jay is just the latest evolution of the 25-story Brutalist tower that stands at Battery & Clay, in the Embarcadero. The interiors, by AvroKO, owe much to the Japanese-American modernist sculptor Ruth Asawa, and more broadly pay tribute to a century of Californian aesthetics, from Arts & Crafts to the present day.
Castle Leslie Estate
Glaslough, IrelandThere’s a rich history behind Castle Leslie Estate: the Leslie family, descended from Attila the Hun, has lived on the property since 1665, and it’s home to the oldest plumbed bath in Ireland. Old-world charm is built into its wood-paneled sitting rooms with gilded oil portraits, Chesterfield sofas, and crackling fireplaces.
Hoshinoya Taketomi Island
Okinawa, JapanWhat all Hoshinoya hotels have in common is a devotion to both modern luxury and Japanese hospitality tradition. Hoshinoya Taketomi adapts the concept to a beach resort on a small Okinawan island — it's styled after a traditional village, red tiled roofs and all, to comply with strict local adherence to heritage architecture.
Landhotel Voshövel
