Nayara Hangaroa
Easter Island, ChileNamed for the only town on the island of Rapa Nui — Easter Island — Hotel Hangaroa Eco Village & Spa is a luxury hotel built to blend into the environment. The design was inspired by indigenous tradition, comprising a village-like cluster of low-lying buildings with grass roofs and native wood beams. Guest rooms feature locally sourced materials, from volcanic stone to cypress wood, as well as handmade clay soaking tubs and private terraces overlooking the ocean.
Splendide Royal Paris
Paris, FranceIts neighborhood places it close to some of the city’s most luxurious palace hotels, but Splendide is less a palace than an ultra-discreet semi-private residence, whose emerald-green façade conceals a mere 12 suites in a style that takes its inspiration not from boutique hotels but from an idealized vision of classic Parisian luxury.
The Verse
Lisbon, PortugalFrom the street, this stately building in Lisbon’s picturesque Estrela district could almost pass as a proper grand hotel. The Verse is no high-touch luxury hotel, but a residential-style apartment hotel whose 15 units combine self-sufficient comforts with handsome, minimalist boutique-hotel aesthetics.
Rosewood Sand Hill
Menlo Park, CA, USASilicon Valley has never had the caliber of hotels you’d expect from the high-tech capital of the U.S., but Sand Hill goes a long way toward rectifying the situation. It’s a resort-style hotel with a sprawling pool deck, a high-end Sense spa, and access to a wealth of outdoor recreation in the Santa Cruz mountains.
Shinta Mani Wild
Kampong Seila District, CambodiaShinta Mani Wild was conceived and designed by Bill Bensley, the architect whose work set the tone for a generation of Southeast Asian luxury resorts. Here he’s in a particularly expressive mode, with 15 elevated tent suites. As of this writing, this is the only hotel we know of where guests have the option to arrive via zipline.
Mharo Khet
Jodhpur, IndiaLocated in Rajsasthan’s Thar Desert, Mharo Khet can rightly call itself an oasis. The hotel is a working farm — its restaurants serve only a small portion of what it produces. Each of the 10 cottages are a distinct variation on an eclectic style that combines hand-crafted décor with tastefully modern luxuries.
Sana Tulum
Tulum, MexicoYou’d think you were in Morocco upon stepping inside Sana Tulum. The adults-only, riad-style hotel places beach view rooms around a central leafy courtyard, and each space is decorated with Moroccan-inspired wooden arches, motifs, and golden lanterns. Even the restaurant takes you to the Mediterranean.
Rhinefield House
Hampshire, UKThe New Forest got its name almost a thousand years ago, and is thus one of England’s best-preserved natural places. Rhinefield House is nowhere near as old — this Tudor-Gothic was constructed in the late 19th century — but its dramatic architecture and idyllic setting combine to make it a tempting escape.
The Potlatch Club Boutique Hotel
Eleuthera, BahamasThe Potlatch Club was something of a mid-century celebrity haunt, a small and intimate escape on the island of Eleuthera where big names and other in-the-know travelers could enjoy the fruits of small-scale luxury hospitality. Its first golden age didn’t last forever, but in its new incarnation, it's poised to recapture the magic.
Waldorf Astoria New York
New York City, NY, USAThe Waldorf Astoria’s revival is nothing short of cinematic. After a seven-year restoration by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, this Park Avenue landmark re-emerges with its Art Deco soul fully restored: murals uncovered, silver corridors gleaming, and the Grand Ballroom ready to reclaim its place in the city’s story.
