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.</...

Algodon Wine Estates

Algodon Wine Estates, in the Argentinean province of Mendoza, brings together two of the favorite pastimes of civilized gentlemen (and ladies): fine wine and golf. Those with a predilection for spending half a day swinging clubs and putting on the green, and the other half swirling and sipping gl...

Old Course Hotel Golf Resort And Spa

Presumably it’s only golfers who will be interested in the Old Course Hotel; a few of you may just be mad for the hills of Fife, but most are here to see the birthplace of the game. For the Old Course is not just any old course, but the original course, St. Andrews, and the Old Course Hotel...

The Lodge At Torrey Pines

Designed in a remarkably authentic Arts and Crafts style, and patterned after some of Greene and Greene’s historic Pasadena houses, the Lodge at Torrey Pines shows a respect for history that’s rare on the prefabricated Southern California coastline. And all the more impressive is the ...

Mamaison Residence Sulekova

Given the relative dearth of boutique hotels in this part of Europe, and in particular the tardiness with which international travelers have embraced Slovakia, it’s a bit surprising, honestly, to find that one of Bratislava’s first small contemporary design hotels is such a strong entry. But that...

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...

Royal Windsor Hotel Grand Place

If the thought of an old-world grand hotel in Brussels doesn’t exactly get your heart racing, you’re not alone. This town’s hotels, even the best ones, are a notoriously sober lot, especially at the high end. But overlook the Royal Windsor Hotel Grand Place and you’ll miss out on a hidden cache o...

Blancaneaux Lodge

There was a time when the fact that the film director Francis Ford Coppola had a special fondness for the jungles of Belize would have simply been celebrity gossip, or Hollywood trivia. But now that he’s opened his holdings to the paying public, it’s a matter for the travel pages. Blan...

Hotel Excelsior

Independent, family-owned, intimate, with the kind of gorgeous traditional interiors the big luxury chains would kill for — that’s the Hotel Excelsior in a nutshell. You can find anything you want in Munich, from grand hotels to design experiments, but this sort of thing is, and probably always w...

Gramercy Park Hotel

About the Gramercy Park Hotel: Gramercy Park Hotel is the latest luxury boutique hotel in New York from Ian Schrager. It is located on the private Gramercy Park, steps from Union Square and slightly below the Midtown area. The hotel features 2 bars (Rose Bar & Jade Bar) and a private ro...

Kensington Place

Just outside Cape Town proper, in Higgovale, a quiet enclave overlooking the city from the foothills of Table Mountain, Kensington Place is about as intimate as they come — just eight suites, in a magazine-ready contemporary-luxe style, with all the bells and whistles, including sprawling king be...

Aldebaran Hotel & Spa

Thanks to the influx of Austrian, German, and Swiss settlers to Argentinian Patagonia at the turn of the century, the lake region’s architecture tends toward chalet-style lodges and wooden cottages. Certain areas of Bariloche, complete with tourist-friendly German shepherd puppies and decorative ...

The Ivy Hotel

Yes, this is the hotel with the stripper pole. Granted, it’s only in one room (the so very over-the-top Star Suite, complete with fuzzy plush king-size bunk beds and mirrored bedroom floor), but it goes a long way towards illustrating what sort of place the Ivy is. As in, maybe not the ideal plac...

Granbell Hotel Shibuya

It’s perhaps a bit odd that for all the other ways in which Tokyo leads the world in cool, it’s still hard to find a small and stylish boutique hotel in a central location. This town has some of the best luxury hotels in the world, and a vast array of lesser options, from middle-of-the-road corpo...

Emiliano

We can’t possibly say enough about this hotel, except possibly that if you’re a design and architecture junkie, and you’re not left speechless, then we don’t know you. Even from the street, Emiliano is an imposing presence, a narrow glass tower, gleaming amidst the high-rises of the fashionable J...

Riad Anayela

When you’re shopping for a riad hotel you can go for the pared-down and unpretentious, just a mellow slice of Moroccan life. Or you can go all-out epic Marrakech romance, and book in at AnaYela. There are probably places you can go if you want a bit of humble, down-to-earth traditional Moroccan e...
