Barcelona, Spain

Ohla Barcelona - 15% off

On the outside, Ohla Barcelona blends right in with the surrounding Catalan Gotchi architecture. Inside, however, are clean and modern interiors with ultra-personalized service (think: everything from pillow softness to linen scents) in one of Barcelona's hautest neighborhoods—the Gotchi Quarter.

Ohla Eixample - 15% off

Ohla Eixample follows in the footsteps of its older sibling, Ohla Barcelona. Balancing the patterned and modern interiors with luxurious staples like rain showers and personal balconies, this (albeit young) boutique-hotel delivers in spades with this second rendition. 

Hotel Pulitzer Barcelona - Stay 2 or more nights and save 20%

This 2004 renovated upscale high-design hipster hotel fits Barcelona's Art Deco-influenced style to a tee. Equipped with velvet sofas, lacquered bookshelves, and a collection of contemporary and antique artworks, you'll literally be ensconced in velvet (and luxury) here.

"Accessed via the lobby of the Ohla Eixample hotel, Xerta boasts a contemporary dining room with views of both its vertical garden and the kitchen. Chef Fran López, who trained and worked for three years with French maestro Alain Ducasse, showcases the flavours of his home region, providing guests with an opportunity to discover its superb gastronomy (eel, oysters, rice etc - 90% of his ingredients are sourced from here) from a creative perspective."

"At Dos Palillos, discover a tapas concept that has been taken to another level with the enticing tasting menus that showcase a fun fusion between Asian cooking (predominantly from Japan) and Iberian ingredients."

Cambria, California

Cambria Beach Lodge - 20% off

The Cambria Beach Lodge takes a retro spin on coastal California beach house decor, with turquoise accents against white walls and clean, natural wood. The rooms are recently redesigned and range from your standard deluxe king to a freestanding beach house with a full kitchen.

White Water - 20% off

Creative director Nina Freudenberger took inspiration from Danish modernism as well as classic Californian design to create a seaside escape that’s both invigoratingly stylish and soothingly sedate.

"At The Restaurant at JUSTIN, chef Rachel Haggstrom and her team flex their creative skills on a single tasting menu with items such as beet canapé with chicken liver pate and a Cara Cara citrus geleé or "carrot top" and lamb saddle, with savory carrot cake and an oval of tender meat."

Córdoba, Spain

Hospes Palacio Del Bailio - 20% off

While the word “Palacio” may put some of us in mind of an old-fashioned grand hotel, this is a palace of an entirely different kind. More a mansion than a hotel, it’s equal parts hacienda and Moorish manor, with some rooms opening onto ancillary patios, and others in the main building ringing the main courtyard, with its majestic old palms and pleasantly cool outdoor swimming pool.

"The bold fusion menu at Arbequina incorporates an array of typical taberna-style dishes."

Duoro Valley, Portugal

Lamego Hotel & Life - 5% off

Lamego Hotel & Life leaves open the obvious question: what kind of life? Here, in the Douro, the wine-producing northern region of inland Portugal, the best-case scenario might be a luxury boutique hotel surrounded by orchards and vineyards, with a restaurant that showcases the best of the region’s wine and produce, and a location that places the old pre-Roman city of Lamego, as well as the whole of the Douro Valley, right at your feet. Needless to say, it’s a solid contender for what the ancients might have called “the good life.”

"Castas e Pratos is a delightful restaurant occupying a former train station warehouse with a terrace overlooking the tracks, a wine bar and a dining room with high ceilings."

East Brunswick, New Jersey

The Chateau Grande Hotel - 20% off

It’s a simple fact that the Garden State could do with a few more French-style country estates. East Brunswick, a half-hour from Princeton and a little over an hour from lower Manhattan, is home to the Château Grande Hotel, which is exactly that: a spectacular re-creation of Belle Époque luxury, set on fifteen acres of parkland that’s lush enough to remind you that New Jersey’s nickname was never meant to be ironic.

"Angelina's has become a beloved institution thanks in large part to this borough's love for Italian-American food. The cooking is elegant, careful and revolves around faithfully rendered classics made with top-notch ingredients."

Frankfurt, Germany

Libertine Lindenberg - 20% off

Just across the Main from its sister hotel, Lindenberg Rückertstraße, Libertine Lindenberg signals with its name a slightly more freewheeling approach to the communal-hotel idiom. That’s due in part to its setting in Frankfurt’s cobblestoned Alt-Sachsenhausen district — AKA the “apple cider district” due to its classic taverns and museums, though a younger and more avant crowd has taken up residence as of late. The Libertine fits right in, that is, every inch of its arty, cozy personality a quiet rebuke to Frankfurt’s buttoned-up, businesslike image.

Lindley Lindenberg - 20% off

It’s an impressive piece of architecture by Franken Architekten, with colorful, varied interiors by Studio Aberja, featuring furniture and design pieces by carefully selected suppliers, as well as a vast amount of work by local contemporary artists.

Eat nearby:

"Set on the banks of Main, Goldmund has an extremely stylish and upscale interior. The large bar area and the striking portraits of international figures from the arts draw the eye as you savour food that tends towards the classical."

Granada, Spain

Hospes Palacio de los Patos - 20%

Somewhere in the middle ground between history worship and idol-smashing avant-gardism lies a place like the Palacio de los Patos. In frontal view, it’s a 19th-century palace, utterly authentic, marble staircase and all; behind this, though, stands a brand-new modern addition — not the sort of dismal annex that mars an otherwise gorgeous historic hotel, but a stunning and urbane piece of modern-luxe hotel design.

"Le Bistró by El Conjuro is a relaxed, informal and unpretentious bistro serving dishes that steer clear of traditional interpretation but enjoy toying with plentiful flavors."

Laguna Beach, California

Casa Laguna Hotel & Spa - 20% off

Casa Laguna is adults-only, double occupancy only, and thus more or less purpose-built for a couples getaway. The accommodations, from rooms to suites to the cottage, are cozy but not kitschy, comfort reigns supreme, and there’s a certain understated elegance, without ever lapsing into design theatrics.

Eat nearby:

"Steak is revered Selanne Steak Tavern, and it lives up to its promise with tender, well marbled meat, but the kitchen ratchets it up with expert cooking (and dousing it in butter never hurts)."

Lisbon, Portugal

Pousada de Lisboa, Praça do Comércio - 10% off

With 90 rooms and suites it’s no small affair. The classic rooms are swanky enough, and upgrades span the range all the way up to the river-view suites and the D. Perignon suite, which is over a hundred square meters of exactly what you’d expect the Perignon suite to be. Equally bubbly are the public spaces, the elegant restaurant and bar, and the extravagant ballroom, which might just make you wish you were here for more than just a hotel stay.

Santiago de Alfama - Boutique Hotel - 10% off

For all Santiago de Alfama’s grandeur, it spans just 19 rooms, which means even the most (relatively) humble room offers ample space to spread out. They’re all different, but they’re all attractive, spanning centuries of design history, from restored period architectural details to modern artworks and contemporary furniture. And the views, thanks to Lisbon’s hilly topography, are impressive, encompassing varying vistas of city rooftops and the river.

Eat nearby:

"The creative cooking at EPUR boasts a traditional and international outlook, and is extremely visual, yet at the same time elegant, pure and with a strong focus on vegetables."

"An attractive restaurant in the historic Alfama district, with a kitchen that is partly visible to diners. The chef at Grenache focuses on contemporary cuisine from his native France which is high on detail and prepared using Portuguese products."

London, UK

Home House London - Private Member’s Club - 10% off

The style remains true, for the most part, to the club’s Georgian-era roots, with some dramatically contemporary exceptions: the reception and bar feature furnishings by Zaha Hadid which look like something beamed in from some advanced interstellar civilization. The rooms, meanwhile, are as classic as they come, every one different in layout and décor, with modern comforts to complement their 18th-century style.

The Mayfair Townhouse London -  20% off

The Mayfair Townhouse is not one Georgian townhouse, but an entire row of them, fifteen in all, on the eye-wateringly posh Half Moon Street, adjacent to Green Park. And while certain other parts of Mayfair are far too rich to have a discernible personality, this hotel is up to its neck in colorful, memorable character, making much of its Oscar Wilde associations and packed with whimsical art and design objects, many featuring the fox motif that’s the hotel’s graphic mascot.

Town Hall Hotel - Stay 2 or more nights and save 20% 

The interiors are spacious enough that the Town Hall is free to embrace a certain spare and minimal contemporary style, the sort of thing that could come off a bit like a space capsule if these rooms weren’t so generously sized. At this size (and inside this historic neoclassical building) the effect is stylish rather than stark. And while Bethnal Green is somewhat peripheral, it’s certainly no suburb — there’s no shortage of city culture here, including more than a few fine restaurants.

Eat nearby:

"The 10-course menu at Roketsu adroitly showcases the depth and variety of Japanese cuisine; go for the sake pairing for the full experience."

"The 6 and 8 course tasting menus at Ormer Mayfair, available with either 'Signature' or 'Prestige' wine pairings, are made up of elaborately constructed dishes with more than a hint of originality and use ingredients sourced from across the British Isles, such as Cornish mackerel and Scottish langoustines."

"Chef Rafael Cagali of Da Terra hails from Brazil and his great grandfather was from Italy, and these influences, along with time spent working in Spain, come together in skillfully crafted, highly original dishes founded on Brazilian traditions."

Los Angeles, California

Chamberlain West Hollywood - 20% off

From the outside, this ’70s apartment building doesn’t attract much attention — though someday this architectural style will be back in fashion, at which time West Hollywood will be its Mecca. Inside, though, it’s a different story; rooftop swimming pools, for example, are always in style, especially with panoramic views of LA and the Hollywood Hills, and the lobby sets the tone.

The Aster - Stay 2 or more nights and save 20%

The Aster is, before anything else, a private club, a much-needed oasis at the very public intersection of Hollywood and Vine. The obvious way in is to become a member — but the Aster’s 35 suites are open to overnight guests as well, and it’s perhaps no surprise that they’re up there with the finest suites in town — a bit bohemian, a bit retro, more than a bit warm and welcoming, understated in their luxury and, above all, memorable.

The Hotel June - Stay 2 or more nights and save 20%

The first in what’s to be the more affordable sibling of the luxury-boutique Proper Hotels line is Hotel June, occupying a classic mid-century hotel building by architect Welton Becket, on Lincoln Boulevard just to the north of LAX. Convenience is a small part of its appeal, but don’t think of it as an airport hotel — it’s equally close to Marina del Rey, with Venice just beyond, and Venice-style “West L.A.” living is what it’s all about.

Downtown L.A. Proper Hotel - Stay 2 or more nights and save 20%

As with all of the Proper hotels — and all of star designer Kelly Wearstler’s previous interior work — the design is singular and unmistakable, a riot of patterns and colors that nevertheless feels cool and composed, never busy. The combination of Southern California sunshine and near-full-length windows makes for light-filled spaces, and the comforts are luxurious, especially the spa-like tiled showers.

Santa Monica Proper Hotel - Stay 2 or more nights and save 20%

Though the Santa Monica Proper Hotel is a new build, designed by Howard Laks Architects with interiors by the very same Kelly Wearstler, it incorporates a 1920s Spanish Colonial building on Wilshire Boulevard, updating a century-old classic for the boutique-hotel era. What results is a hotel that’s more contemporary than vintage, even if its history does show through — it’s got the romance of the Twenties but the forms and materials of a modern luxury boutique hotel.

Avalon Hotel Beverly Hills - Stay 2 or more nights and save 20%

Avalon is a good choice for a budget-minded hotel, less expensive than the hypermodern set design that is the modern boutique standard, and on balance more comfortable as well — and yet miles better looking than the utilitarian design of the corporate chains.

Sunset Tower Hotel - 20% off

One way or another, the Sunset Tower manages to land on the right side of the line. In the latter years of the golden age this Art Deco apartment tower was home to the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra; and while today the mid-century atmosphere is still in place, it’s no museum — there’s nothing faded about the newly renovated Sunset Tower’s sober, earth-toned interiors, and it’s not collectors or autograph hounds but bona fide Hollywood players who frequent its halls today.

The Prospect Hollywood - 20% off

The idea of Hollywood may be synonymous with glamour, but nearly a hundred years after the so-called Golden Age, the actual place is a bit more complicated. The Prospect Hollywood, however, is a return to form: a 1939 Hollywood Regency building, rescued from an advanced state of disrepair by designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard and transformed into what is, beneath its retro styling and vintage furniture, a thoroughly contemporary boutique hotel.

Madrid, Spain

URSO Hotel & Spa Madrid - 20% off

Thoughtful, design-conscious touches make it clear that URSO is much more than the sum of its (very aesthetically pleasing) parts. Many of the building’s original features — such as an elevator, a grand marble staircase, and a stained-glass windows — were lovingly restored. Even the Chinois wallpaper accenting the lobby is authentic — re-created from wallpaper found in another neighboring palace. Meanwhile, light-filled rooms, airy neutrals, and drum-shaped lampshades will make you feel at home rather than at a museum.

Hospes Puerta de Alcala - 20% off

It took a while, but the Hospes group has moved into the capital. The patented Hospes formula (classic building, modern-luxe interiors, signature spa and restaurant) is on display in this classic 19th-century building just off the Plaza de la Indepencia, deep in the heart of Madrid.

Mexico City, Mexico

Brick Hotel - 20% off

The upscale residential neighborhood of Roma is home to more than a few century-old mansions, but this one is unique — built from bricks shipped over from England, it was the custom-built residence for the head of the Bank of London & Mexico. It was later owned by one of Mexico’s presidents, and today, after a thorough but sensitive renovation, it’s one of Mexico City’s finest small luxury hotels.

Nima Local House Hotel - 15% off

This is the part of Mexico City that feels perhaps most like a European city, and there’s more than a little bit of that old-world elegance about the turn-of-the-century mansion where Nima makes its home. Once inside, however, you’ll find the style is contemporary, thoughtful, and subtly stylish — not a “design hotel,” per se, but a well-designed hotel all the same.

Miami, Florida

Arlo Wynwood - 35% off

For the most part this local color comes in the form of exterior murals painted by Miami artists. There’s plenty of artwork indoors as well, and even the rooms contain small pieces as lively accents to the clean, minimalist interiors.

"The chefs at Nossa Omakase work deftly with their tools, turning out dishes that entice with smoke and flavor."

Mykonos, Greece

NOMAD Mykonos - 30% off

Half a world away from the similarly named but unrelated boutique hotels in New York and Los Angeles, NOMAD Mykonos is a one-off, a small and luxurious 14-suite adults-only escape that promises splendid isolation on an island that’s not exactly a well-kept secret. 

Boheme Mykonos Town - 30% off

Sun and surf are of course included in the package. All twenty suites have views out to sea, though their directness varies, along with the inclusion, as you work your way up the range, of niceties like terrace loungers and outdoor Jacuzzis. All of them are contemporary in style, just about entirely white, and just as profoundly relaxing as you’d hope a Greek island hotel would be.

New York City, New York

Soho Grand Hotel - 20% off

On the outside, with its cheery pink brick facade, the SoHo Grand resembles a brand-new shopping complex. But inside is a different story. Cast iron dogs stand guard at industrial design central — square lights, molded concrete walls, a coffee table the size of a grand piano. There’s mesh wire glass everywhere, including on the writing desks in the rooms. The floors are the same stuff you see on New York sidewalks — corrugated steel for the elevators, and cast iron and glass for the stairs.

The Roxy Hotel New York - 20% off

Downtown funk comes in the form of the brick and iron facade, and that natural light can’t fail to penetrate the wide glass roof of the eight-story atrium, making most other New York hotels feel gloomy and claustrophobic by comparison. Far from huge, though large enough by New York standards, rooms are organized around the atrium, each exquisitely designed and hyper-modern, yet authentically calming. High-speed internet and a work desk ensure you’ll get your work done. No shortage of luxuries, either, including Frette linens and robes and a selection of Five Wits bath products, which you’ll surely feel tempted to liberate.

11 Howard - 20% off

The Scandinavian vibe imparts a crisp cleanliness to 11 Howard’s interiors, and the local color comes in the form of a pretty formidable art collection, whose highlights include works by Hiroshi Sugimoto, Katie Yang, and Dan Attoe. The rooms are smart and functional, drawing heavily on the cozier currents in Danish design, and the resulting visual identity is a memorable one.

Modernhaus Soho - 20% off

ModernHaus is blessed with a classic Downtown location that’s as close to the upscale shops of Tribeca as it is to the cobblestone streets and artists’ lofts that made SoHo famous. And in terms of aesthetic inspiration, it’s a bit of both: the building, a modern concrete-and-glass tower, is very 21st-century SoHo, while the rooms and the décor embrace the classic mid-20th-century loft style for which downtown Manhattan is so well known.

The Dominick - 20% off

The Dominick may have had a troubled past, thanks in no small part to the involvement of our nation’s most famously divisive real-estate developer, but the slate has been wiped clean — it’s got some new owners, it’s been given a new name, and now this Soho stunner is ready to be seen for what it is: a stylish, luxurious boutique hotel with a stellar Spring Street location and commanding views of downtown Manhattan and the Hudson River.

MADE Hotel - Stay 3 or more nights and save 20%

The Made Hotel is aimed at New York’s creative class, who have, almost by definition, more taste than money. As a result there’s no needless opulence, just some well-chosen materials — reclaimed walnut floors, Japanese ceramic tiles, textured concrete ceilings - and some well-curated furnishings and decorative elements by a who’s who of in-demand designers.

Palm Springs, California

Sparrows Lodge - 20% off

Recycled from the Fifties and refreshed for a style-conscious clientele, this woodsy hideaway is the kind of place where people play horseshoes, swing wooden tennis rackets and read books by their private campfires.

Holiday House Palm Springs - 20% off

At Holiday House, a 28-room boutique hotel in downtown Palm Springs, there’s no messing about with superior, deluxe, and the like: the room categories are Good, Better, and Best. And the good is pretty good, indeed. Good means bright and cheerful, with original artwork, bath hardware by Waterworks, and custom textiles by Mark D. Sikes, the same Hollywood-based designer who reimagined the hotel’s interiors during recent restorations. Better means bigger, in this case, with a wet bar for good measure. And Best means mountain views, plus a private balcony or patio where you can properly enjoy them. (If the Best isn’t quite good enough, look into one of Holiday House’s top-of-the-line options, the aptly named Big Room or The Suite.)

Paris, France

Hôtel Le Ballu - 20% off

Near the Place de Clichy in Paris’s 9th arrondissement, close to the nightlife hotspot that is the Quartier Pigalle, is one of the capital’s most stylish and most unique boutique hotels. Hotel Le Ballu is inspired by the fictional Balkan country of Syldavia, from the Tintin comics; if the reference is lost on you, imagine a whimsical cocktail of mid-century design with a decidedly Eastern accent.

Le Pigalle Paris - 20% off

The eclectic décor has that perfectly measured casual charm that looks as though it just sort of came together, it’s the work of a pair of talented architects, and features contributions from any number of artisans and craftspeople local to Pigalle.

Hotel Pulitzer Paris - Stay 2 or more nights and save 20%

If you know its sister hotel in Barcelona, then you’ll know what to expect from the Hotel Pulitzer Paris: a sharp-looking blend of early 20th-century glamour and contemporary boutique hotel design, at a scale that allows it to be both lively and intimate without erring too far in either direction.

Paros, Greece

Parilio - 10% off

Parīlio isn’t just an exemplary high-end, high-design boutique hotel, but an exemplary piece of Paros architecture, constructed in the local signature style — minimalist forms in whitewashed stone, decorated in soothing neutrals that complement the island’s landscape. The 33 suites are part modern, part classic, and for all their simplicity they feel warm, organic, and welcoming.

Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Viceroy Riviera Maya - 25% off

Here, more than most beach hotels, the focus is less on the accommodations themselves than on the setting, a tiny enclave of tasteful, restrained development on a coast that, the rest of the way up and down, is pretty far from unspoiled. The forty-one villas are set off the beach, hidden away within the woods, each one feeling quite private and secluded. Inside they’re minimalist, perfectly comfortable and stylish, with four-poster netted beds, marble-and-wood bathrooms, and Molton Brown products in the showers.

Hotel Esencia - 20% off

Enter the Hotel Esencia, an intimate 29-room beachside escape, an antidote to the tacky high-rise hotels springing up on Mexico’s Caribbean coast.

Ragusa, Italy

Eremo della Giubiliana - 20% off

Near the south coast of Sicily, housed in a medieval-era convent once occupied by the Knights of Malta, lies the Eremo della Giubiliana, a remarkably posh boutique hotel hidden away within an imposing fortified exterior. These stone walls still look up to the task of repelling an invading force, but inside it’s elegant and sophisticated in a way that one doesn’t often expect from rustic, rugged Sicily.

But the rest of the space in the architecturally significant Casa Cohen is taken up by shops, restaurants, bars, and galleries. There are only 10 guestrooms in L’Ôtel, but the well-apportioned common spaces within the hotel take up major real estate.

Santorini, Greece

NOŪS Santorini - 15% off

Here, a village-like collection of modern minimalist buildings — clearly descended from, but not in imitation of, the local village vernacular — stands around the centerpiece of a man-made water feature, a 50-meter L-shaped infinity pool. The rooms, suites, and bungalows carry on inside in a similarly crisp contemporary style, with plenty of warmth in the form of organic materials and plush bedding; many units come with plunge pools or other outdoor lounge spaces.

Astarte Suites - 20% off

The village of Akrotiri is a small one, and Astarte’s fifteen suites cling dramatically to the cliffs of the caldera, providing them with jaw-dropping views of the volcano. They’ve all got private terraces, king beds, Hermès bath products, and indoor or outdoor jacuzzis, and some of the larger ones feature their own pools.

Sevilla, Spain

Sevilla Hospes Las Casas del Rey de Baeza - 20% off

From the street the hotel appears utterly traditional, a whitewashed 18th-century house in the traditional style, in the midst of Seville’s historic district. The interiors, though, are refreshingly urbane and contemporary, an island of soothing modern design in the most picturesque of settings, bathed in the southern Spanish sunlight.

Located right on the beach, Nomade brands itself as a human-centered hotel, as a temporary habitat for, well, nomads. It’s a mission that’s perfectly in keeping with Tulum’s slightly starry-eyed vibe, as are the Nomade’s “self evolution” philosophy, not to mention the shaman-led workshops and meditation workshops. But even a nonbeliever has to admit: this is a gorgeous and thoroughly peaceful beach hotel.

Hotel Zena, a Viceroy Urban Retreat - 20% off

After a large-scale renovation, the newly named Hotel Zena is now a grand feminist gesture, dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments of women at every turn. As gestures go, it’s not a subtle one — a pair of female “Warrior Guardians” adorn the exterior, and an enormous pointillist portrait of the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg dominates one of the walls of the lobby lounge.
