Hotel Otavalo
Otavalo, EcuadorMany travelers visit Otavalo on day trips from Quito, but staying overnight has its benefits, from exploring the nearby crater lakes and waterfalls to the indigenous craft traditions at the town’s famous market. There are some lovely lodges in the surrounding area, but the stylish Hotel Otavalo is the finest option in town.
La Borde en Solgone
Vernou-en-Sologne, FranceLa Borde en Solgone is an elegant 18th-century estate that’s been in the same family for generations. Now a hotel, its current custodians have wisely left the best features alone: French and English gardens, a private lake, a working farm, and the stone castle’s original hand-painted murals and grand fireplaces.
Ballyfin Demesne
Ballyfin, IrelandThere’s nothing else in Ireland quite like Ballyfin Demesne. This spectacularly well-preserved Regency house sits on 614 acres of parklands and woodlands. The interiors are a contemporary-classic evolution of the house’s original style, an opulent fantasy to rival any country-house hotel you could name.
Seven Secrets
Lombok, IndonesiaLombok and the nearby Gili Islands are full of luxury resorts. On the big island, many of the best ones, including Seven Secrets by Hanging Gardens, are located on the idyllic northwest coastline. This resort stands on a white-sand beach, lined with coconut palms and facing a dazzling expanse of clear turquoise water.
Villa Flor
S-chanf, SwitzerlandIn a bucolic landscape of farmhouses, Villa Flor stands out. This Art Nouveau villa was built at the turn of the century and remained a family residence until 2009 when it was renovated and turned into a chic guesthouse. The owner is a former gallerist, and it shows in the public spaces and seven uniquely decorated suites.
Domaine Les Oliviers de Palombaggia
Corsica, FranceDomaine Les Oliviers de Palombaggia serves as a refreshing antidote to the contemporary hotels that have opened on Corsica in recent years. Instead of conventional rooms, the hotel has stone cottages inspired by the island’s traditional architecture. And it’s not just family-run, it’s family-built.

Crossing Manzoni
Milan, ItalyCrossing Manzoni occupies two floors of the neoclassical palazzo that was once home to the writer Alessandro Manzoni; inside are a mere six units, each one stylistically distinct from the others, each one decked out in classic designer furniture, unique modern artworks, and subtly luxe comforts.
Kinn Guesthouse
Milwaukee, WI, USA“Guesthouse” slightly understates the scale, but it captures the concept: Kinn Guesthouse looks and feels like a design-forward boutique hotel, but with a slightly low-key, all-suite residential vibe. This means a self-guided check-in with no traditional front desk, and a set of fully stocked kitchens for guest use.
Fasano Trancoso
Porto Seguro, BrazilBefore Beyoncé shot a music video on the main square, the town of Trancoso was a place to get away from it all. These days, you’ll have to go further afield to avoid the crowds — a few miles down the coast, for instance, to Fasano Trancoso, tucked between tropical forest and a quiet stretch of Itapororoca Beach.
Tafoni Houses Cave Hotel
Cappadocia, TurkeyCappadocia is famous for its ancient cave dwellings, some of which have been turned into hotels. The striking Tafoni Houses Cave Hotel is one of the best. The name refers to the bird nests that form at the tops of the region’s naturally occurring rock pillars, and the hotel takes inspiration from the concept.
