LuxuryTraditional

This Norwegian hotel was opened in 1891 to cater to the crème-de-la-crème of European society. Over the years it hosted Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany, King Oscar II, Queen Maud, and King Haakon VII.

In 1989 the hotel was restored to its former glory after years of neglect and is now one of the world’s most unique hotels. Every guestroom is different and named after a famous guest that once stayed there. There are no phones, TVs, or radios to distract you from enjoying the historic opulence of your surroundings.

Some people say this is the most romantic “Fjord Palace” of them all. Surrounded by pristine natural scenery with freshwater and fjord fishing a stone's throw away. Take a stroll on the grounds and enjoy the snow-peaked mountains in the distance. Or you can really enjoy them by taking a hike to the summit of Mt. Slogen. Experience the Norangsdalen valley on a bike, on foot, or in a kayak before returning to eat in the fine dining restaurant.

Auberge Aux 4 Vents - The Swiss Hotel Where You Can Take a Bath Outdoors - From the Second Floor

Between Fribourg's medieval rooftops and a park full of century-old beeches, a renovated 17th-century manor is doing something quietly remarkable. Auberge aux 4 Vents is not a boutique hotel in the algorithmic sense - all reclaimed wood and oat milk. It is something older and stranger: a patrician country manor …

Domaine des Etangs, Auberge Collection - Deep in the Charente, a Medieval Castle Reinvents Itself

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 …

Hana-Maui Resort, a Destination by Hyatt Residence - The Far Side of Maui

Most resorts want you to stay on property. Hana-Maui Resort wants you to stay in a different way entirely - unhurried, untethered, and largely offline. Rooms here have no televisions, no alarm clocks, and in some cases no radios. The spa uses heated lava rocks and Hawaiian healing traditions that …

Hotel Maměnka - A Fairytale Mountain Lodge That Burned Down – and Rose from the Ashes

Libušín sits on a mountain pass in the Czech Republic's Moravian-Silesian Beskids, looking like something out of a Brothers Grimm tale. This isn't some modern Alpine resort masquerading as traditional – it's the real deal, a wooden lodge dripping with hand-carved details and Art Nouveau flourishes that somehow manages to …

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 …
