There's a river running through this resort that no engineer designed. It seeps out of the earth at the base of Arenal Volcano, picks up heat and minerals from somewhere deep underground, and winds through 7,790 sq m (83,880 sq ft) of rainforest garden before you even get to stick …

The grand palace of Hotel de la Coupole, with impressive French Indochina styling, offers extravagance in a breathtakingly pretty environment. The remote mountain region around Sapa is Vietnam's scenic getaway. The natural spectacle with beautiful rugged scenery and rich cultural life is a major tourist hotspot. Sapa lies in the …

In a quiet side street in the 17th arrondissement, between residential buildings and a stone's throw from Parc Monceau, sits what might be Paris's most brazen attempt at bottling romance. The Paris j'Adore Hotel & Spa doesn't whisper sweet nothings – it shouts them from behind art deco doors flanked …

When most people think of Brazil, São Paulo doesn't immediately spring to mind. The financial powerhouse, sprawling and intense, gets overshadowed by visions of Rio's beaches and the Amazon's wild expanses. But the city itself is a revelation. Its world-class dining scene, bold architecture, and vibrant yet somehow relaxed atmosphere …

In the rolling hills beyond Bangkok's concrete sprawl, a whimsical hotel has turned abandoned train cars into a luxurious escape three hours north of Bangkok. As the capital's endless urban landscape finally gives way to undulating hills and thick jungle, something unexpected appears through a curtain of towering trees: the …

In a city where excess is the norm and subtlety goes to die, the Grand Lisboa casino hotel rises from Macau's skyline like a fever dream made manifest. At 261 meters (856 feet) tall, this golden behemoth doesn't just dominate the former Portuguese colony's horizon – it practically shouts its …

Deep in Namibia's NamibRand Nature Reserve, where the desert stretches for 200,000 hectares beneath mountains that look like they've been carved from stone, there's a place where the night sky puts on such a show that you'll wonder why you ever bothered with city lights. Kwessi Dunes is that place …

Sitting on the edge of the Indian Ocean in Umhlanga, The Oyster Box is the kind of place where you can start your morning with unlimited oysters and sparkling wine at breakfast, spend your afternoon learning to make proper Durban curry, and end your evening with a cigar in a …

Some places whisper, and some shout. Kato Dool does something in between – it hums. Sprawled across a hillside in Aswan's Nubian village of Gharb Soheil, this wellness resort is painted in shades that could make a sunset jealous: turmeric yellows, coral pinks, sky blues. It's the kind of place …

Another Place, The Machrie does not announce itself. It accumulates - a golden eagle banking over the Atlantic, a genuine Tracey Emin hanging next to your breakfast table - until the place stops feeling like a hotel and starts feeling like a very convincing dream. Set on the Isle of …

At the edge of the world, where ancient cedars meet crashing Pacific waves, sits a hotel that makes no apologies for its dramatic setting. The Wickaninnish Inn perches on a rocky headland at Chesterman Beach, five kilometers from the surfing town of Tofino on Vancouver Island's wild west coast. This …

The road in has 29 switchbacks and occasionally gets buried by snowstorms. The walls are covered in autographed photos of skiing legends. There are no televisions in the rooms. And yet people come back here, year after year, for generations. Hotel Portillo, the iconic yellow and blue fortress perched at …

There is a bed in the middle of the desert. Not near a building, not on a porch - just a fully made queen bed, sitting on a cracked salt flat under the Utah sky, catching wind-blown pillows and the occasional napping stranger. It was supposed to be removed. Staff …

High above Lake Brienz, where waterfalls crash down mountainsides and the sound of rushing water mingles with the rattle of Europe's oldest funicular railway, sits a hotel that nearly became a car park. Well, not quite a car park, but something almost as tragic: a concrete "jumbo chalet" complex that …

This isn't one of those hotels that calls itself a castle because it has turrets painted on the wallpaper. Peckforton Castle is the real deal – or at least as real as a Victorian landowner's fantasy of medieval life could get. Built between 1844 and 1850, it comes complete with …

Stanley Kubrick borrowed its face for a horror classic. Jack Nicholson swung an axe at its door. And yet Timberline Lodge, perched at 6,000 feet on the shoulder of Oregon's Mount Hood, somehow remains one of the most welcoming places in the Pacific Northwest. Here is the strange alchemy of …

There are places that photographs simply cannot do justice to, and Emerald Lake in British Columbia’s Yoho National Park is one of them. The water shifts between seafoam green, bright teal, and a blue so vivid it looks edited – and then the light changes, and it starts all over …

There's a giant gorilla watching over the grounds. A wolf, frozen mid-sprint, tears through the woodland. And somewhere above the kitchen garden, suspended nearly 28 meters (92 feet) off the ground in a pod that looks like it belongs in a 1970s science fiction paperback, someone is waking up to …

When Belmond throws open the doors to a century-old villa that once hosted the Agnelli family and Vespa inventor Enrico Piaggio, you know it's going to be special. Villa Beatrice, which opened in July 2025, marks Belmond's first private villa offering, and it's genuinely unlike anything else on the Italian …

There's a building at Hyde Park Corner that looks like it's trying to set sail. All glass and steel outriggers, semi-suspended on anti-vibration bearings to absorb the tremors of the Piccadilly Line rumbling underneath - it's one of the last projects from the late architect Richard Rogers, the man behind …
