In 1979, a Japanese architect stuffed a bed, a television, and an alarm clock into a fiberglass pod and called it the future of hospitality. Forty-six years later, the world is still copying him. It is not the flashiest hotel in Osaka. It does not have a rooftop bar or …

Forget everything you think you know about boutique farm stays. Outbuildings in Dorset isn't your typical countryside conversion - it's what happens when a family with 36 years of hospitality experience decides to transform an old dairy farm into something genuinely special.

The Landmark London defies every stereotype about stuffy London hotels. The Landmark London might sit on one of the capital's busiest roads, but step inside and you'll find yourself in something closer to a tropical conservatory than a traditional British establishment.

RYSE, Autograph Collection, set in the anarchic energy of Seoul's Hongdae neighborhood, operates somewhere between hotel, …

You cross an active airport runway to get there. The building you're sleeping in was built in Malaysia and transported across the ocean on a ship. Barbary macaque monkeys live on the limestone rock looming outside your window. And you're permanently at sea - except you're not, because the vessel …

Somewhere in the high desert of northwestern Arizona, 21 stories below a stretch of cracked asphalt that used to carry half of America's westward dreams, there is a hotel room that has been around since before the dinosaurs. There is no cell signal down there, no sunlight, no sound beyond …

Spain's 98th parador took nearly two decades to build, rising from the ruins of an environmental catastrophe to become something genuinely special. Perched above a white sand beach on the Costa da Morte – the "Coast of Death," named for its countless shipwrecks – this glass and zinc structure disappears …

There's a secret door built into a hillside in Kenya. Step through it, walk a short tunnel, and you emerge to one of the most disorienting views in East Africa: a vast, golden sweep of Maasai Mara plains stretching 2,000 feet (610 meters) below you, lit by shafts of afternoon …

In 1215, King John allegedly stopped for the night at a small hospice on the road to Runnymede, where he would sign the Magna Carta the following day. Eight centuries later, you can sleep in the same building - give or take several reconstructions - order a pint at the …

There are places that make you question why you ever settled for ordinary vacations, and Capella Lodge on Lord Howe Island is one of them. This nine-suite retreat sits at the foot of two volcanic peaks that tower over the world's southernmost coral reef, on an island so pristine that …

Somewhere in the Charente countryside of southwest France, on a 1,000-hectare (2,500-acre) estate of forests, lakes, and open pastureland, there is a tennis court floating on a pond. There is also a 13th-century castle tower where you can sleep beneath a glass ceiling and look up at the stone ribs …

There aren't many places where you can soak in an outdoor hot spring while gazing at Mount Fuji, then drive three laps around a world-class race circuit before dinner.

There's a moment, sometime between your first glass of Pessac-Léognan and your third hour of doing absolutely nothing by an indoor pool, when Les Sources de Caudalie stops feeling like a hotel and starts feeling suspiciously like someone's very beautiful home that you've been allowed to borrow for a few …
