Brij Lakshman Sagar
Pali, India
Rajasthan’s Pali district is some distance off the usual tourist trail, which suits the Brij hotel group just fine. They’ve made it their mission to bring travelers to India’s less visited corners. In that task, Brij Lakshman Sagar, made up of a mere 12 cottages in a 19th-century hunting lodge, succeeds admirably.

The Goring
London, UK
The Goring can claim to be second only to Buckingham Palace for absolutely classic London luxury; officially, it’s the last hotel built during Edward’s reign. And while it goes without saying that much has been added in the years since, the Goring’s atmosphere is as Edwardian as it ever was.

Leonardo Trulli Resort
Locorotondo, Italy
The conical structures known as trulli are among the most distinctive of Puglia’s traditional building forms, and it’s unsurprising that Leonardo Trulli Resort leans all the way in to the charm of these whitewashed stone buildings. Surrounded by gardens and groves, the resort’s trulli are joined by a central farmhouse.

The Lodge at Blue Sky
Wanship, UT, USA
Situated on 4,000 acres just outside Park City, Blue Sky offers a design-driven take on the mountain getaway. Every detail: stone, glass, wood, is placed to keep the landscape front and center. The vibe is peaceful but active with horseback rides, high-alpine hikes, and seasonal meals that pull from the on-site farm.

The Chow Kit
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The Chow Kit neighborhood is known for its markets and thrillingly unsavory old reputation. These days it’s one of Kuala Lumpur’s hippest quarters, and is home to a hotel that shares its name. Designed by the Brooklyn firm Post Company, the Chow Kit is arguably the first properly swanky luxury boutique hotel in town.

Wilmina Apartments & Lofts
Berlin, Germany
Next door to Wilmina Hotel, well loved for its serene warmth in spite of its history as a women’s prison, Wilmina Apartments & Lofts occupies a modern building by Grüntuch Ernst Architects. Inside you’ll find not conventional hotel rooms but loft-style apartments more modernist and minimalist than their neighbor.

Hotel Parian
Ciudad de México, Mexico
Mexico City’s Pasaje Parián is a shopping mall, yes, but that means something different in Roma Norte than it would in King of Prussia or Sherman Oaks. Not only is it an authentic local landmark, but upstairs from its retailers and restaurants you’ll find Hotel Parián, the first hotel in Mexico by the Lark Hospitality brand.
