On Savannah's historic riverfront, where cobblestones meet the water and tourists queue for trolley tours, sits something entirely unexpected: a chrome-dipped dinosaur skeleton stretching 135 feet across a hotel lobby. The JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District isn't your typical riverfront accommodation. It's part hotel, part museum, part entertainment complex, …

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 …

Somewhere on a mountaintop above Lake George, tucked behind life-size lion statues and Gothic iron gates, sits a place that's hard to believe exists. Highlands Castle is the kind of property that sounds like a fever dream until you're standing on its terrace watching the light change over the Adirondacks, …

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 …

On a wild stretch of Benguerra Island, where sand dunes roll into the Indian Ocean and dugongs graze offshore seagrass meadows, Kisawa Sanctuary has built something unusual: luxury villas incorporating 3D printing technology, staffed largely by locals, and driven by a commitment to marine science. The 300-hectare property sits on …

Imagine an island where 50,000 pieces of bamboo were woven into villas perched among granite boulders, where dolphins occasionally drift past at breakfast, and where the biggest decision you'll face is whether to watch the sunrise or sunset from your private plunge pool. This is Cempedak, a 17-hectare Indonesian hideaway …

Somewhere in western Belize, a waterfall is tumbling into a turquoise pool that almost nobody sees. It isn't on a popular trail or a backpacker's bucket list. It's just sitting there, doing its thing, above the jungle canopy of the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, which stretches across 107,000 acres …

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 is an infinity pool on the roof of a building at JFK Airport, heated to 95 degrees in winter, 19 meters long, looking directly out over one of the busiest runways in North America. You can sit in the water and watch a Lufthansa A380 rotate into a gray …

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 …

In the Austrian village of Leogang, a family-run hotel has just pulled off something remarkable. The Krallerhof isn't content with being another five-star alpine retreat – it's gone and built what might be Europe's most architecturally audacious spa. Picture a 50-meter infinity pool suspended in a lake, with the jagged …

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. The Fuji Speedway Hotel, which opened in late 2022, occupies a unique patch of Shizuoka Prefecture where Japan's highest peak looms …

Bawah Reserve sits in a corner of the Anambas Archipelago so remote that the only way in is by seaplane, which lands directly in a turquoise lagoon. There are no televisions. WiFi is real but limited. There are no cars, no roads, and no reminders that the rest of the …

There's a polar bear in the lobby. The Africa suite has a straw ceiling made from locally grown Icelandic wheat. The owner - a former seafood industry titan who spent 200-plus nights a year in hotels - will pour you a glass of schnapps and tell you where to find …
