7 New Hotels

Casa al Sole

Ischia, Italy

There’s no bad place to stay on Ischia, but Sant’Angelo, a picturesque fishing village at the island’s southernmost point, may be the finest. A handful of hotels are tucked into the whitewashed buildings that line the car-free streets, including Casa al Sole, a boutique hotel that feels more like the private home of a stylish Italian friend.

Viceroy at Ombria Algarve

Loulé, Portugal

Viceroy at Ombria Algarve enjoys a privileged position in the lush, rolling Algarve hills, on a pristine estate sequestered far from the crush of the beach crowd. The hotel maintains its own 18-hole golf course, a decadent spa, and four pools. Sleek accommodations range from individual rooms to full-fledged residences.

The Hotel Chalet

Chattanooga, TN, USA

In its latest iteration as the Hotel Chalet, the grandeur of Chattanooga’s Beaux Arts–style Terminal Station has been fully restored — sunshine pours again through dome-like skylights, exuding old-world charm. There’s extra novelty, and reverence for history, in the guest rooms that are housed in renovated Pullman carriages.

The Old School Guesthouse

Schloßberg, Austria

Set in Austria’s scenic Südsteiermark wine country, The Old School Guesthouse revives a village school rebuilt after World War II with the support of the local community. From 1949 to 2012, it educated local children before Petra and Oliver, a pair of passionate hosts, lovingly transformed it into an intimate retreat.

The Foundry Suites

Athens, Greece

Mid-century style runs deep at the Foundry, a hip hotel in Athens’s historic Psirri district — the building, constructed in 1930, originally served as a type foundry. Today, it’s a collection of industrial-chic suites with wood or terrazzo floors, high ceilings, steel-framed windows, and a mix of vintage and modern furnishings.

Andenia Boutique Hotel

Calca, Peru

Nestled in the Sacred Valley, Andenia Boutique Hotel feels like a private Andean retreat, with just nine rooms set among lush gardens. Each offers mountain views and a private terrace or balcony, immersing guests in the valley’s breathtaking landscape. Inside, thoughtful décor and details reflect the region’s heritage.

TRUNK (HOUSE)

Tokyo, Japan

More a private residence than hotel, TRUNK HOUSE is Tokyo’s most exclusive one-room stay, a painstakingly restored 70-year-old geisha house in the storied streets of Kagurazaka. The real showstopper is a hidden, soundproofed disco with neon lights, a stocked bar, and a dance floor made for impromptu revelry.
