Faena Hotel And Universe

Buenos Aires’s new Faena Hotel + Universe, brainchild of Argentinean fashion designer Alan Faena, has been making some big waves, as much for the ambition of its universe-spanning concept as for its design, courtesy of a rather familiar name: Philippe Starck.Largely absent, though, is the ...

One By The Five

It had to come to this, didn’t it? Ever since luxury hotels began to shrink, emphasizing the privacy and exclusivity that only a small hotel can offer, this day was coming: the dawn of the one-room hotel. And it’s only fitting that it would come to Paris, a city that’s almost comically short on h...

Standard Design Hotel Paris

The budget boutique has come to Paris. As improbable as it may seem in a city where high prices and high opulence rule the day, the Standard Design Hotel is a pared-down contemporary-design boutique hotel — in fact it’s reminiscent in terms of aesthetics and atmosphere of the similarly-named (but...

Baudon De Mauny

Please note: Baudon de Mauny has a 2 night minimum stay policy. If the South of France, for you, is simply shorthand for Provence and the Riviera, then there’s another world you’re missing out on. Not the vibrant old sailors’ city of Marseille — though you should make sure you...

The Greenwich Hotel

What do we already know about the Greenwich Hotel? It’s got a celebrity owner (none other than Robert DeNiro), a prime Tribeca location, impeccable design credentials courtesy of one of New York’s top firms, Grayling Design, and some truly obsessive construction having something to do with thousa...

Kokopelli’s Cave

Enjoy the stillness of a 65-million-year-old Ojo Alamo Sandstone rock, 70 feet below the surface!

42 The Calls

It may seem a perplexing name for a hotel, but The Calls is the name of an old cobbled street down by Leeds' waterfront, and 42 is, true to current style, merely the street address. The building was once home to a corn mill, and the city's riverfront area, though resurgent, bears strong remnants ...

The Keating

Don't be fooled by the slightly old-money country-club name, or by the building itself, which at over a hundred and ten years old is surely one of San Diego's oldest — the Keating is as of-the-moment as it's possible to be, utterly emblematic of the current fascination with high-design boutique h...

The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo

Tokyo’s all-new Midtown, a massive mixed-use development in Roppongi, has been big news lately — some third-world military coups and minor wars have come and gone more quietly, judging by newspaper and magazine column-inches. It’s already one of the high holy sites of Tokyo retail, in...

Sagamore Hotel

The Sagamore bridges the gap between the ultra-chic boutique and the more stately, upmarket luxury hotel. It's not easy to define the Sagamore — is the hotel within the art gallery or the art gallery within the hotel? This old-fashioned insistence on real luxury at the expense of cheap ...

Nine Zero - A Kimpton Hotel

Boston is justifiably proud of its colonial heritage, and in terms of architecture and design (if not politics) its conservative streak runs deep. There’s plenty of room for some contemporary style — and while we’re not eager to see a spate of anonymous international-style design hotels, Nine Zer...

St. George Roma

Rome offers up so much history that it’s sometimes hard for the traveler to remember that, antiquity aside, Rome is a completely current and connected city too. It’s a cosmopolitan town fueled more by academia and the film business than by industry, and top-rate hotels usually aim for grandiloque...

The Ritz-Carlton New Orleans

In a city filled with opulent manors and gleaming white columns, the Ritz-Carlton has found the ideal setting for its own tried-and-true formula for classic luxury. Don’t expect any funky twists on the chain’s standards, like the black terrazzo floors at the South Beach branch or the ...

Sanctuary On Camelback Mountain

Scottsdale’s changed quite a bit in recent years, in a sort of Dorian Gray manner; as Phoenix’s cookie-cutter strip malls and unsightly cement surfaces sprawl farther into the desert, Scottsdale just gets younger, hipper, better looking. A prime example is Sanctuary at Camelback Mountain’s transf...

Cape Royale Luxury Hotel And Residence

Rugged colonial romance be damned: this is Cape Town at its most cosmopolitan and sophisticated, a spot of old-world Europe in the south. With Table Mountain behind and the Atlantic in front, Cape Royale couldn’t be in a much more scenic position. And behind that classic, somewhat Parisian-lookin...

Hotel Ormelune

Please note: this hotel is seasonal, and is open from December until the end of April. Our Tablet Spy program offers the chance to get early looks at the most promising new hotels. If you’re interested in staying in a hotel that’s just been opened, then you’ll be rewarded with ...
