The LaFayette Hotel and Club

San Diego, CA, USA

The Lafayette Hotel hosted the likes of Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner during its mid-century heyday. And after stints as an office building, radio station, and movie set — a memorable scene from Top Gun was filmed here — it’s experiencing its second golden age as an urban resort steeped in retro glamour.

Garberhof

Malles Venosta, Italy

What began as a simple guesthouse for hikers is now this: a modern alpine lodge with luxurious rooms, a notable fine art collection, and the largest hammam of any hotel in Italy. Garberhof has come a long way in recent years, but despite significant renovations, this family-run hotel still offers warmth and coziness.

LA ERMITA SUITES

Córdoba, Spain

Córdoba’s old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a few of its historic buildings now function as hotels. But there’s only one “monument hotel” officially designated by the government: La Ermita Suites. The charming boutique hotel is tucked away behind the cheerful façade of an 18th-century chapel.

Greenhills Country House

Jersey, UK

Greenhills Country House Hotel has everything you’d wish for on an escape to the English countryside: a quiet rural setting, historic architecture, afternoon tea in the gardens. Near Jersey’s northern beaches, it’s positioned on the Green Lanes, an idyllic network of country roads connecting the island’s farms and forests.

Sofitel Barú Calablanca

Cartagena, Colombia

A 40-minute boat ride away from Cartagena, on scenic Isla Barú, Sofitel Barú Calablanca Beach Resort is the region’s first LEED-certified property. This stylish modern resort is set on a quiet cove, complete with three restaurants, seven bars, a state-of-the-art spa, four infinity pools, food trucks, and a private beach.
