5 New Hotels

MONASTERO SANTA ROSA

Conca dei Marini, Italy

Perched on a cliffside overlooking the Salerno Gulf, the Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel & Spa offers 20 very private suites in a former 17th-century monastery, as well as plenty of room to roam, with four levels of gardens to explore, a cliffside infinity pool, and a sunset terrace with wide-ranging views of the Amalfi Coast.

HÔTEL CABANE

Paris, France

Hôtel Cabane has a unique layout that sets it apart from more traditional hotels in Montparnasse. This elegant ivory building looks like others on the block, but the property features a lush interior garden with a bungalow-like cabane built from local wood. It’s hardly rustic — rather, it’s the most luxurious room available.

LAVENDER INN

Yountville, CA, USA

Located across the street from the French Laundry, Lavender Inn consists of a quartet of smartly renovated 19th-century farmhouses set amid gardens of wild roses and hydrangeas. It’s a member of Four Sisters Inns, a group that combines the sophistication of boutique hotels with the warmth of bed-and-breakfasts.

THE WELL

Sofiemyr, Norway

“Natural nudity” prevails at The Well, northern Europe’s largest spa. Swimwear isn’t allowed in saunas and steam baths (neither are phones). Luckily, it’s easy to go with the flow here. The wooded setting feels pleasingly remote, and the hotel rooms are appealing in their silence, simplicity, and Scandinavian style.

CASA CHABLÉ

Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, Mexico

Sian Ka’an Biosphere is a UNESCO World Heritage site dedicated to preserving the flora and fauna of the Yucatán coast; it’s also home to Casa Chablé, a hotel that demonstrates that the desert-island atmosphere of a true eco-resort is entirely compatible with the white-glove elegance of a modern luxury hotel.
