5 New Hotels

Les Oliviers de Palombaggia

Corsica, France

Domaine Les Oliviers de Palombaggia serves as a refreshing antidote to the contemporary hotels that have opened on Corsica in recent years. Instead of conventional rooms, the hotel has stone cottages inspired by the island’s traditional architecture. And it’s not just family-run, it’s family-built.

Crossing Manzoni

Milan, Italy

Crossing Manzoni occupies two floors of the neoclassical palazzo that was once home to the writer Alessandro Manzoni; inside are a mere six units, each one stylistically distinct from the others, each one decked out in classic designer furniture, unique modern artworks, and subtly luxe comforts.

Kinn Guesthouse

Milwaukee, WI, USA

“Guesthouse” slightly understates the scale, but it captures the concept: Kinn Guesthouse looks and feels like a design-forward boutique hotel, but with a slightly low-key, all-suite residential vibe. This means a self-guided check-in with no traditional front desk, and a set of fully stocked kitchens for guest use.

Fasano Trancoso

Porto Seguro, Brazil

Before Beyoncé shot a music video on the main square, the town of Trancoso was a place to get away from it all. These days, you’ll have to go further afield to avoid the crowds — a few miles down the coast, for instance, to Fasano Trancoso, tucked between tropical forest and a quiet stretch of Itapororoca Beach.

Tafoni Houses Cave Hotel

Cappadocia, Turkey

Cappadocia is famous for its ancient cave dwellings, some of which have been turned into hotels. The striking Tafoni Houses Cave Hotel is one of the best. The name refers to the bird nests that form at the tops of the region’s naturally occurring rock pillars, and the hotel takes inspiration from the concept.
