THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL
New York City, NY, USA
Architecturally, the Fifth Avenue Hotel spans more than a century, combining a 1907 Renaissance-style structure with a modern 24-story glass tower. And inside, the Gilded Age glamour of its public spaces serves as the inspiration for designer Martin Brudnizki’s fantastically colorful and ornate rooms and suites.

ACRO SUITES
Heraklion, Greece
Perhaps inspired by similarly situated dwellings on the island of Santorini, Acro brings cliffside romance and carved-rock drama to the north coast of Crete. Its 49 suites and villas are equipped with all the necessities, with views out to sea and private plunge pools, either hugging the cliff edge or carved into stone caves.

PALIHOUSE HYDE PARK VILLAGE
Tampa, FL, USA
Outside of Miami, Florida doesn’t exactly have a bevy of tasteful, interesting boutique hotels. Tampa’s Palihouse Hyde Park Village goes a long way toward changing that characterization. The Pali group’s colorful, eclectic, California-born, European-influenced style looks perfectly at home here on the Gulf Coast.

ROSEWOOD PHNOM PENH
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
A 39-story skyscraper hotel might not be what you expect from a luxury hotel in the Cambodian capital, but the Rosewood is nothing if not surprising. This isn’t just a pied-à-terre from which to explore the city, but a part of its urban life; its variety of high-end restaurants make it a fixture on the capital’s social scene.

HUNUM
Gordona, Italy
Hunum is anything but a typical Italian agriturismo. The name is a portmanteau of three words: humanus, humus, unicum — or human, earthly, and unique. While there’s plenty of theory behind the combo, it’s perhaps most easily understood via a look at Hunum’s site, its cabins, and the lifestyle experienced by its guests.
