7 New Hotels

Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC

New York City, NY, USA

When it first opened, Gansevoort helped turn the Meatpacking neighborhood from a niche nightlife district into a viable mainstream destination. Now the hotel is back with a luxe new look, an impressive contemporary art collection, and an atmosphere that’s a little less frenetic and a little more laid-back.

My Arbor – Dolomites

Bressanone, Italy

Rising up on stilts along a stretch of pine forest in South Tyrol, My Arbor is the largest treehouse hotel in the country. Italian architect Gerhard Tauber is behind the striking design, a boxy modernist structure elevated on steel pillars resembling tree trunks, built in part from repurposed wood from the surrounding region.

Nobu Hotel Toronto

Toronto, Canada

Around the corner from TIFF headquarters, Nobu Toronto fits well in the downtown Entertainment District. The sultry lobby bar and gorgeously designed Nobu Restaurant are always in high demand, but the serene Sakura Lounge, inspired by the look of a traditional Japanese tea house, is exclusively for guests.

Naturresort & Spa Schindelbruch

Südharz, Germany

Germany is home to multiple climate-neutral hotels, but Naturresort, opened in 2009, was the very first. This wellness-focused luxury resort was constructed on the foundations of an old hunting lodge in the Harz Mountains, now part of a large biosphere reserve popular with cyclists and hikers.

Orient Occident Hotel Istanbul

Istanbul, Turkey

It’s easy to see where the Orient Occident Hotel Istanbul got its design inspiration from. The hotel sits just a short walk away from Istanbul’s most beautiful cultural sites, the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar, whose own ornate interiors have surely informed the hotel’s more lavish details.

Jumby Bay Island

St. John’s, Antigua

Jumby Bay is situated on a 300-acre private island off the shore of Antigua that has three white sand beaches, is sheltered by coral reefs, home to endangered varieties of turtles, birds and sheep (of all things), and accessible only by boat, a five-minute ride from the main island of Antigua.

Onyado Chikurintei

Takeo, Japan

Onyado Chikurintei lies at the base of Mount Mifune, surrounded by dense forest and the vast Mifuneyama Rakuen garden. With only 11 suites spread across the expansive grounds, the atmosphere is deeply still, with rooms that open onto bamboo groves, flowering trees, or sweeping mountain views.
