It’s time to prepare for your next adventure, as these newly opened hotels invite guests to unwind, explore, and indulge. From an intimate boutique hotel set in a 163-year-old Italian palazzo to the very first hotel in Diriyah, rich in Najdi design and Saudi Arabian heritage, each hotel offers a unique blend of serenity and sophistication—promising to elevate any getaway.
Located at the very heart of Madrid, The Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Madrid is perfectly placed to discover the Spanish capital’s unique culture. The three world-leading art galleries that make up the city’s Golden Triangle of Art – the Prado, the Reina Sofía and the Thyssen-Bornemisza – all stand within easy walking distance, while the hotel doubles as a dining destination in its own right, offering both the cosmopolitan La Cúpula Restaurant beneath an impressive glass domed ceiling and the chic 27 Club cocktail bar.
With swift access to central London and plenty of attractions of its own, East London is a smart choice for a stay in the UK capital, and Stratford – on the up ever since hosting the 2012 Olympic Games – is one of the neighbourhood's most engaging corners. Conveniently located right next to the local high-speed rail station and bustling Westfield shopping centre, The Stratford, Autograph Collection invites you to linger on its pleasant outdoor terrace with a beer, soaking up the neighbourhood's creative East London atmosphere, before dining on modern British cuisine in the hotel's Kitchen E20 restaurant. When the time comes to turn in, look forward to inviting rooms with marble bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling windows for gazing out at the views of after-dark London.
With a sweeping, statement-making design, The Passenger Hotel, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel fuses work and leisure seamlessly, offering everything from breakout spaces and a boardroom to a gym and outdoor dining terrace. The hotel's rooms feature a relaxingly muted colour scheme, understated design touches, and a convenient, comfortable workspace. The richly varied attractions of the Old Town of Salzburg, meanwhile, lie just a 20-minute drive away.
Embrace the culture of Saudi Arabia with a stay at Bab Samhan, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Diriyah near the city of Riyadh. With their traditional motifs and locally sourced, hand-dyed linens, rooms reflect the surrounding Najdi area, while the Najdi Signature Restaurant serves up authentic Saudi cuisine based on time-honoured recipes. The hotel also offers an indoor pool designed around architecturally elegant columns, as well as separate gym areas for men and women.
Whether you’re heading to the football at Groupama Lyon Stadium, to a concert at LDLC Arena, or are in Lyon for business at Lyon Eurexpo, the Courtyard Lyon Eurexpo Stadium is ideally located close to the action. The hotel's spacious rooms showcase flourishes of 1970s-inspired design and feature dedicated workspaces, while the PARKER restaurant serves French cuisine in a convivial atmosphere. There’s also a fitness centre and outdoor pool.
As a city, Antwerp has an infectious lust for life, and that vibe is encapsulated by Moxy Antwerp, which is all about fun, from the bold colour scheme and communal vibes of the lobby through to the cocktails mixed at the bar and pet-friendly ethos. The clever design of the rooms optimises space, with some featuring additional sofa beds. The hotel's location is enviable, too, lying just minutes' walk from the Scheldt river, Antwerp's brilliant photography museum FOMU and KMSKA, the city's Royal Museum of Fine Arts.
Discreetly tucked away just off Berlin‘s Potsdamer Platz, The Mandala Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels™ manages to be both a secret hideaway and a perfect city base. From here you can explore all the German capital has to offer, before retreating back to your elegant suite with its handcrafted furniture and curated selection of antiques. Most rooms overlook the serene interior courtyard, while upstairs on the 5th floor you’ll find gourmet restaurant Facil, which holds two Michelin stars. Also nestled high above the city is the Ono Spa with its holistic treatments including hot stone massage and reflexology.
Unwind under the Mediterranean sun at Courtyard Sliema, a beautiful new addition to the resort town of Sliema on the east coast of Malta. Surrounded by comfortable sunbeds, the hotel's rooftop pool offers panoramic views of the city skyline, or there's the indoor pool for when it's time to mix things up. The spa is the place for a soak in the jacuzzi or a revitalizing massage as you ponder dinner at G’Uniqo restaurant, with its menu of fresh Mediterranean cuisine. In the bedrooms you’ll find a classic feel with a soothing beige and tan colour scheme.
Rent a bike at the Four Points Flex by Sheraton Aarhus Viby and you can explore Aarhus with ease, from the cobbled streets of the old town to the world-class ARoS Aarhus Art Museum. Returning to the hotel, you’ll find cheerful, airy rooms with exposed concrete walls and bright, white linens, plus a delicious Scandinavian breakfast buffet packed with pastries, pancakes and cold cuts. There’s also the buffet Asia restaurant, an enticing option for dinner.
Tucked into the landscape of the Ngorongoro conservation area in northern Tanzania, the Turaco Ngorongoro Valley, a Tribute Portfolio Lodge stands amid a vast volcanic crater and offers guests the chance to spot the “big five” of elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo and rhinos. Luxurious suites overlook this precious wilderness region and feature fireplaces, jacuzzis and four-poster beds. The communal swimming pool, meanwhile, is an inviting spot for a dip.
There’s nowhere quite like Palazzo Daniele, a Member of Design Hotels™, a former family residence now reimagined as an 11-suite boutique hotel. Housed in a 163-year-old aristocratic palazzo in Italy’s Puglia, the hotel has been designed in a minimalist style that allows the original features such as grand frescoes and mosaic flooring to shine. Learn to cook with experienced local chefs in the kitchen, take a dip in the outdoor pool or just relax beneath the orange trees in the courtyard garden, aperitivo in hand.
Located in the centre of the Saudi city of Jeddah, the Four Points by Sheraton Jeddah King Fahd Road features generous, well-appointed rooms, with plush beds and fabulous city views. The All Day Dining restaurant has an international menu, served from early until late, and there’s a well-equipped on-site gym, multiple meeting spaces and a pleasant rooftop swimming pool.
