AWOL Kennebunkport
Kennebunkport, ME, USA
AWOL Kennebunkport is much more stylish than the setting might suggest. It’s centered around the historic Captain Walker house, right on the edge of the compact town center. And to the six-bedroom main house they’ve added a further eleven suites in a more modern style, in cabins spread across the grounds.

The BoTree
London, UK
Though located in Marylebone, the BoTree is central enough to also have one metaphorical foot in Mayfair, and another in Soho. It’s an apt location for a hotel that draws on multiple visions of London glamour: from Marylebone’s low-key village vibe to Soho’s creative edge and Mayfair’s confident luxury.

Rajmahal Palace
Jaipur, India
Owned by the royal family of Jaipur, Rajmahal Palace is grand in all the traditional ways, with high archways and glittering chandeliers. But the otherworldly interior design — rich with whimsical details, symmetrical shapes, and bold pops of color — looks as meticulously composed as a Wes Anderson film.

Fairmont Taghazout Bay
Taghazout, Morocco
Less than an hour up the Atlantic coast from Agadir is Taghazout, a fishing village turned holiday destination, and the seaside Fairmont Taghazout Bay, a luxe and stylish village-like resort whose sandy-colored modern structures look straight out into the ocean over a vast expanse of beach.

La Villa Hotel
Mombaruzzo, Italy
If the concept — a country-house hotel in a region known for extraordinary food and wine — is simple enough, it would be difficult to reproduce the care with which La Villa’s proprietors have crafted the experience, from the meticulous restoration of the historical elements to the judicious modern interventions.

Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay
Cernay-la-ville, France
Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay is the confident first entry into the world of country-house hotels by Paris Society, a brand known more for restaurants than rooms. That all might change thanks to this medieval abbey that's been restored, expanded, and transformed into a thoroughly impressive country escape.

I Borghi dell’Eremo
Piegaro, Italy
You might've noticed that I Borghi dell’Eremo is plural. This is not a single farmhouse hotel, but three distinct “villages,” each one with a different purpose, but all constructed in a similar contemporary-classic style — and all with the same stunning views of the countryside on the border between Tuscany and Umbria.

Estelle Manor

Estelle Manor is a fantastic and fanatically detailed vision of timeless Oxfordshire country-house hospitality. Accommodations on the 60-acre estate range from the main house to the converted stables to a number of freestanding cottages. All, at every level, combine luxe comfort with arresting, era-spanning design.

Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo
Panama City, Panama
Sofitel’s Legend sub-brand is a collection of historic hotels with stories to tell and reputations to uphold. In Panama, it’s represented by the Legend Casco Viejo, occupying what was once the Club Unión de Panama, a century-old Spanish Colonial–style edifice in the city’s UNESCO-listed historic waterfront district.

Bluebird Hunter Lodge
Hunter, NY, USA
Hunter Mountain, in the Catskills, is the setting for Bluebird Hunter Lodge, by Lark. This 70s ski lodge–inspired boutique hotel is intended as a four-season escape from the city. The look is one part idealized retro summer camp and one part crisp contemporary design. The comforts luxurious but far from opulent.
