-
Lilløy Lindenberg, Askøy, Norway
On this tiny island off Norway’s wild west coast, seaweed hangs to dry above the Aga, guests cook together, snorkel straight from the boathouse, and warm up in a wood-fired sauna built in a WWII bunker.
-
Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi, Santa Fe
An adobe-style hotel (and former penitentiary!) with cozy rooms that occupy a prime location near the Plaza in downtown Santa Fe.
-
Bishop’s Lodge, Auberge Collection, Santa Fe
A beautiful bucolic retreat with an all-season pool and access to hiking trails—it’s both close to Santa Fe and a world apart.
-
Château La Commaraine, Pommard, Burgundy
Burgundy has long been known for producing exceptional wine and Michelin-starred restaurants that do those bottles justice, but the luxury hotel scene has floundered. Château La Commaraine, which opened in July, changed all that.
-
Château de Cîteaux, Meursault, Burgundy
A pastel-splashed 19th-century castle, Château de Cîteaux is the very first property in Burgundy for the fast-growing French brand, Fontenille. In an area whose bottles alone can easily push past four figures, this new hotel does not, making it a more accessible entry and first foray into serious wine country.
-
Château de la Haute Borde, Loire Valley, France
A thoughtfully renovated family castle in the heart of the Loire Valley that feels like a relaxed and sophisticated retreat amongst creative souls.
-
Hotel Porte Brunet, Saint Émilion, France
A small jewel box hotel in the historic village of St. Émilion that offers sophistication and style without feeling precious or uptight.
-
Crillon Le Brave, Provence, France
Located in the town of the same name, and overlooking the vineyards of the Vaucluse, Crillon Le Brave feels more like its own secret Provençal village than a typical 5-star hotel.
-
Capella Kyoto, Japan
On the site of a 150-year-old school in a historic Kyoto neighborhood, Capella’s first hotel in Japan, designed by Kengo Kuma, embodies the city’s cultural refinement—with Japanese craft and art, courtyard gardens, hot-spring-fed onsen, and rare access to local geisha traditions.
