9 New Hotels

The Moorings

Jersey, UK

The Moorings benefits from a prominent location on Jersey’s Gorey Pier, overlooking the beach below Mont Orgueil Castle. And while it bills itself as a restaurant and bar with rooms, that’s an understatement of its hospitality proposition. The rooms in question are quietly luxe and more than a little bit stylish.

Hotel Humano

Puerto Escondido, Mexico

Hotel Humano is Grupo Habita’s latest expression of barefoot luxury. Just steps from Puerto Escondido’s iconic surf, its minimalist forms and earthy palette of concrete, wood, and tile frame 39 thoughtfully composed rooms. The rooftop spa, courtyard pool, and chef-driven restaurant echo the laid-back rhythm of the coast.

Hotel Lorelei Londres

Sorrento, Italy

The old “Albergo Lorelei” sign still stands, but present-day Hotel Lorelei Londres is a contemporary luxury boutique hotel through and through, a cliffside Amalfi coast escape offering sensational sea views and near-monochrome minimalist-luxe rooms and suites, dressed entirely in white save for accents in ocean blue.

Sanctuary Beach Resort

Marina, CA, USA

Sanctuary stands on the shores of Monterey Bay, a few minutes’ drive up the coast from Carmel and Monterey. The resort feels secluded, even remote, its low-slung buildings surrounded by dunes and scrubland. The rooms and villas are luxurious and handsome; gas fireplaces keep things cozy on those misty coastal nights.

Drift Nashville

Nashville, TN, USA

Laid-back, West Coast–inspired vibes are unmistakable at Drift Nashville. Indeed, this boutique hotel may have more in common with its stylish sister properties in California — midcentury modern architecture, a cool coastal aesthetic, breezy indoor-outdoor lounge space — than with its Music City neighbors.

Hotel El Zarzo

Medellín, Colombia

In the heart of Medellín’s hippest neighborhood, El Zarzo makes a striking first impression. Lush greenery spills from its high-arching windows, creating the illusion that the brick facade is a towering vertical garden, fitting for a hotel where minimizing environmental impact is as essential as the modern interior design.

Les Jardins de Coppélia

Pennedepie, France

On the coast of Normandy, the tiny village of Pennedepie has only a few places to stay, most notably Les Jardins de Coppélia, a 17th-century manor house converted into a luxury hotel overlooking the sea. Little has changed about its stately wood and slate façade, but its modern interiors are the result of sweeping renovations.

Thanda Safari

Hluhluwe, South Africa

Thanda means “love” in isiZulu, and this privately owned reserve delivers exactly that: a deep love for land, culture, wildlife and its guests. Opened by Zulu royalty and spanning 14,000 hectares in northern Zululand, Thanda Safari is proudly conservationist and unapologetically rooted in local tradition.

Miiro Borneta

Barcelona, Spain

Hotels by the lifestyle brand Miiro are based on the concept of connection to place. In Barcelona’s artsy El Born neighborhood, that means a charming 19th-century building, interiors reimagined by a former design director at Soho House, Spanish wine and cheese by small organic producers, and a stylish rooftop terrace.
