Hotel Eclat Taipei

Hotel Eclat Taipei

With all the new hotel action in China proper, it’s high time Taipei stepped up its game. There are a couple of absolute gems in the Taiwanese capital, but there’s always room for more: the home-grown Hotel Éclat is a worthy addition to the city’s hotel landscape, a shamelessly luxe and flamboyan...
Hotel G

Hotel G

If you accept the premise that this is China’s century (and we’re all just living in it) then logically one inescapable conclusion follows: they’re going to need a lot more boutique hotels. This, obviously, is what the Hotel G is for: a new 110-room boutique in the hip-yet-luxurious mode, located...
Hotel Of Modern Art

Hotel Of Modern Art

Yes, why not a Hotel of Modern Art. To be more exact, perhaps a hotel of modern sculpture: this resort outside Guilin, in China’s south central Guangxi province, is surrounded by a thousand and a half acres of outdoor sculpture, by a wide-ranging array of international artists. It’s the folly (in...
Hyatt Regency Hakone Resort & Spa

Hyatt Regency Hakone Resort & Spa

Travelers to (and within) Japan know the Hyatt name means something special here. There’s the famous Park Hyatt in Tokyo, of course, and a number of fine Grand Hyatts all around the country. Located in Gora, a hot spring town at the foot of Mount Fuji, an hour and a half to the west of Tokyo, the...
Hyatt Regency Kyoto

Hyatt Regency Kyoto

Here’s a hotel that forces you to dispense with a couple of easy generalizations. The first is the idea that the big chains guarantee a dull experience — not a bad rule of thumb but one with many, many exceptions. And the second is the idea that in Japan, Tokyo is the center of all that’s modern ...
Indigo Pearl

Indigo Pearl

It’s a boutique hotel forged from the remnants of a century-old tin mine — and thanks to the efforts of the interior designer Bill Bensley, the look is akin to industrial cool. As luxury-spa-villa fatigue begins to set in, a new take on the old familiar Phuket is more than welcome. Ind...
ITC Sonar

ITC Sonar

If there’s one thing India does well it’s massive, lavish, and extremely well-equipped business hotels — unfortunately for the more design-sensitive among us, they tend to be extremely conservative in style. Not so, however, the ITC Sonar, on the outskirts of town near the Science City. This is a...
Kahanda Kanda

Kahanda Kanda

Much of the buzz around Sri Lanka has centered on the seaside colonial town of Galle Fort, and the beach in general. Perfectly reasonable, and all very well — but there’s more to it than that. For example, a few miles inland from Galle there’s Kahanda Kanda, formerly a private residence and still...
Kemang Icon By Alila

Kemang Icon By Alila

Jakarta’s been slow to jump on the design hotel bandwagon. This is not necessarily a bad thing; it just means they’ve missed out on the awkward stages, where comfort was often sacrificed in the name of visual impact, when staffers were expected to look pretty rather than provide any a...
Kise Bettei

Kise Bettei

For too many visitors, Japan means Tokyo: packed trains, the neon lights at Shibuya crossing, and a hotel in the top of some skyscraper. But if you want to properly experience Japan, you’ve got to get out to the country. Take Okinawa for example — this is wild, wide-open country, and in the islan...
La Residence Hotel & Spa

La Residence Hotel & Spa

On the banks of the Perfume River, in the old imperial city of Hue, is a restored classic, an Art Deco–style boutique hotel: La Résidence. This was once the Governor’s mansion, a piece of colonial history, looking straight across the river at the imperial citadel. And today its colonial-chic luxu...
La Residence Phou Vao

La Residence Phou Vao

Deep in the heart of northern Laos, along the banks of the Mekong, is the old royal capital of Luang Prabang, one of the better places in Southeast Asia if you’re looking to get away from the crowds and the bright lights of the established tourist destinations. And roughly two kilometers outside ...
Langham Place

Langham Place

It’s been a while since a new major luxury hotel opened in Kowloon, the mainland peninsula side of Hong Kong — height restrictions prevented the construction of skyscraper-hotels like the 59-story Langham Place building. Now that they’ve been lifted, however, the path is clear for megahotels in t...
Le Royal Meridien Shanghai

Le Royal Meridien Shanghai

In Shanghai these days they don’t make anything small, least of all the luxury hotels. Just as in Beijing, there’s a construction boom going on, with tall cranes dotting the skyline. And while we tend to prefer fun and funky little boutique hotels, we make exceptions for anything that’s as well-d...
Les Suites Taipei Da-An

Les Suites Taipei Da-An

Though conveniently located right in the middle of downtown, surrounded by the shopping, business, and entertainment districts of Chung Hsiao and Dun Hua roads, Les Suites Taipei Da-an is a cozy and intimate boutique hotel, a worthy alternative to the city’s many enormous business hotels.</...
Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi

Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi

Not at all the typical Mandarin Oriental, and in fact quite unlike just about any hotel anywhere — the Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi, on the outskirts of the inland city of Chiang Mai, is no high-rise city hotel but a bona fide resort, Mandarin’s first. And what a resort it is. T...
