Hudson Hotel

A hotel for the 21st century. Modern design and affordability are the best words to describe this hotel.

Hollmann Beletage Design & Boutique Hotel

When a hotel like the Hollmann Beletage opens, skeptics reach for their calculators. Spacious rooms, high modern style, in the center of old-town Vienna, all at a relatively modest price — it couldn’t possibly add up, could it? Probably best to leave that question to the accountants. However they...

The Listel Hotel

Don’t let the slightly anonymous exterior put you off: once you’re inside, the Listel is one of Vancouver’s most stylish hotels. It’s a local favorite not just for its design — most boutique hotels these days can afford some decent modern furniture — but for its personality, something that many h...

Myhotel Brighton

In a town known for its ramshackle, bohemian charm, a place like Myhotel Brighton can’t help but stand out. The design, by Karim Rashid, is anything but traditional: whether it looks retro-futuristic or just plain futuristic probably depends on the observer, but either way the visual impact is cl...

Gran Hotel La Florida

Gran Hotel La Florida is a unique place, a bit of an oddity; it is equal parts city boutique and luxury resort, located on a hilltop just outside of Barcelona. The view is stunning, overlooking the city, and beyond, the Mediterranean, and the location is secluded, a thousand feet above the city, ...

The Standard Miami

Please note: Children under 14 years old are not permitted on the property. The long-awaited Standard Miami is here — and anyone who anticipated a carbon copy of the LA Standards will be in for a bit of a surprise. Still intact is the budget-chic philosophy — itself enough to ra...

Desert Palm Dubai

Another entry on the more sedate end of the Dubai hotel scene, the Desert Palm lies some twenty miles outside the city center, and trades construction cranes for polo grounds. And if your visit’s purpose allows you to choose the country over the city — well, it’s not much of a choice, to be hones...

Alvear Palace Hotel

Truly, this is the high-society heart of Buenos Aires. Each of the pale-veined stones of its ornate, Beaux Arts facade was shipped from Paris. Outside lingers the unmistakable Buenos Aires scent. Teardrop chandeliers beckon from cathedral ceilings, floors gleam black and white, and Persian rugs a...

Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade

Right on the Avenida Da Liberdade, the Sofitel isn’t exactly off the beaten path — but don’t hold that against it. We tend to shy away from the big luxury chains, in most cases, because while they typically offer methodical and attentive service (a big plus, obviously) there’s usually little to d...

Taj Lake Palace

The Taj Lake Palace floats on the calm surface of Lake Pichola and was built in 1740 as a summer retreat, taking advantage of the cooling lake breezes. The Taj group took over in the Sixties, and the hotel has since become standard postcard (and Bond film) material.The standard rooms face ...

The Ritz-Carlton Osaka

One might expect a Japanese Ritz-Carlton to set aside the company style book and make some concessions to the local traditions. But one would be wrong. The only thing distinctly Japanese about the Ritz-Carlton Osaka is the fact that it occupies the upper floors of a mixed-use high-rise building —...

Hotel Im Wasserturm

This 11-story brick water tower, the tallest in Europe, must have seemed like an unlikely candidate for the sort of industrial renovation that is sweeping Germany—but punch some holes in the sides for windows, drop a restaurant on the roof, and you've got yourself a striking and stylish lux...

Klaus K

For a city with such a rich modern design heritage, Helsinki has precious little in the way of flashy contemporary hotels. This regrettable state of affairs is now one step closer to being remedied, however, with the re-opening of the Klaus K, in the design district at the top of the Esplanade, i...

China World Hotel, Beijing

Though you’d never guess it from the vaguely institutional name, the China World Hotel is actually a Shangri-La property — with all the luxury trappings that high-end brand entails. Located in the diplomatic precinct, its United Nations-inspired exterior doesn’t promise a whole lot of style, but ...

The Augustine, Prague

Our Tablet Spy program offers the chance to get early looks at the most promising new hotels. If you’re willing to take the risks associated with staying in a hotel that’s newly opened, then you’ll be rewarded with the chance to help decide whether the hotel will earn a place on Tablet Hotels....

L'auberge De Sedona

As Arizona getaways go, Sedona’s not hard to love. Far from the heat and sprawl and traffic of Phoenix, it’s a hundred miles north, and three thousand feet higher up, in an entirely different landscape — one of stunning red rocks and dramatic mountain sunlight. It’s a bit of a cult destination, i...
