Astra Suites
Santorini, GreeceAstra Suites is a luxurious boutique hotel that’s been perfecting Santorini's sun, sip and swim experience since first opening in the early '90s. The formula works: every room is a stylish sea-facing suite with a private terrace, and no children are allowed, ensuring peace and quiet by an infinity pool built right into the cliffs.
Scorpios Bodrum
Bodrum, TurkeyScorpios Bodrum has a spectacular location, a clifftop surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea. 12 minimalist stone bungalows, arranged in a circle, are slightly set apart from the rest of the beach club, and feature character-filled details like low-lying built-in sofas and handwoven Turkish rugs.
Open Sky Zion
Virgin, Utah, USAOpen Sky Zion might be the most luxurious glamping option near Zion National Park, with safari-style canvas tents crafted in South Africa, an upscale restaurant and 80 acres of wilderness to explore. Accessible via a long dirt road, the resort is dwarfed by a spectacular landscape of red rocky cliffs, canyons and plateaus.
Palais Hassoun
Marrakech, MoroccoWhen Palais Hassoun isn’t rented out in its entirety, it’s possible to snag one of its nine rooms for an overnighter. Each is uniquely decorated with artisan-made pieces, including carved wooden doors, ornamental lanterns and colourful handcrafted rugs. Its magnificent gardens include a pond and an olive tree-framed swimming pool.
Palazzo Talìa
Rome, ItalyThe conversion of a 16th-century palazzo in the centre of Rome into a luxury boutique hotel would be a noteworthy event on its own terms, but the fact that Palazzo Talìa’s designer was none other than the film director Luca Guadagnino gives it a cultural resonance that few other hotels can match.

Maison Celeste
Mexico City, MexicoMaison Celeste is an art-focused boutique hotel and gallery in the hip Roma Norte neighbourhood. Many of the mansion’s historic details have been preserved, from hardwood floors to colourful stained glass, but instead of living rooms or lounges, the ground-level spaces house exhibitions, pop-up shops and events.

La Manufacture Royale de Lectoure
Lectoure, FranceAn abandoned tannery in a remote French village might not sound like the most obvious setting for a boutique hotel. But thanks to its location on the famous Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route, the place was discovered by a pair of Parisians who spent four years overseeing its transformation into the elegant La Manufacture Royale de Lectoure.

Yowie Hotel
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USAIt wasn’t long before Shannon Maldonado’s homewares boutique expanded into a larger space with a stylish café and a 13-room hotel. Yowie Hotel, occupying a pair of terraced houses on South Street, has a classic brick exterior but, inside, it exudes the Philadelphia native’s signature style: minimalist, eclectic and colourful.
VIE Hotel Bangkok
Bangkok, ThailandBOIFFILS Architectures is the firm behind VIE Hotel's modern design. It consists of two buildings – the first a boxy structure rising high on stilts with a striking infinity pool on the uppermost level and, behind it, a 26-storey tower housing surprisingly spacious, light-filled bedrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows.
