Harads, Sweden
A Michelin Selected property in Swedish Lapland, Treehotel places architect-designed treehouses among the boreal forest canopy above the Lule River valley. Each room is the work of a different architectural practice, making the property less a hotel in the conventional sense and more a curated collection of built installations.

A Michelin Selected guesthouse on Calle Rodrigo de Triana, Triana House occupies one of Sevilla's most characterful working-class barrios, where tile workshops and flamenco tablaos define the street-level culture.

Nova Scotia's 2025 World Travel Awards winner for Leading Boutique Hotel, Trout Point Lodge sits deep in the Tobeatic Wilderness on the banks of its namesake river, offering a low-key-count retreat built around log and timber construction.

Kanazawa, Japan
A MICHELIN Selected property at 6-5 Takaokamachi, Tsuruko occupies a position within Kanazawa's small tier of architecturally grounded ryokan-style stays. The city's reputation as Japan's most intact castle-town shapes the hospitality here: traditional materials, restrained interiors, and a deliberate pace that pushes back against the efficiency of urban hotel culture.
Kuruman, South Africa
Tswalu Kalahari spans 280,000 acres of South Africa's Northern Cape, accommodating no more than 30 guests across three architecturally distinct camps. The reserve protects desert-adapted species found almost nowhere else on the continent, including black-maned Kalahari lion, pangolin, and aardvark.

Seattle, United States
Tulalip Resort Casino sits north of Seattle on tribal land, offering 200,000 square feet of casino floor alongside 370 spacious guest rooms, a glass-atrium pool, and a spa drawing on indigenous wellness practices. Artwork and artifacts from the Tulalip Tribe thread through the property's design, grounding a full-scale resort experience in distinctly Pacific Northwest identity.

Kyoto, Japan

Located in Shimogyo-ku, the property sits within reach of the city's central transit corridors and historic districts.

Turin, Italy
Turin Palace Hotel on Via Sacchi 8 holds Michelin Selected status in the 2025 guide, placing it among Turin's most recognised addresses for travellers who want a grand-hotel frame without sacrificing proximity to the city's rail and cultural axis. The property sits in the bracket of historic Piedmontese hotels that trade on architectural weight and a formal dining programme rather than boutique minimalism.
Yasawa Islands, Fiji
Turtle Island occupies Nanuya Levu in the Yasawa Islands, one of Fiji's most remote and carefully controlled private-island addresses. The property has carried near-mythical status in the premium travel circuit for decades, operating at a scale and guest-to-land ratio that keeps it in a different conversation from larger Fijian resorts. Access is by seaplane or charter, and the island functions as an all-inclusive, exclusively booked environment.
Szarvas, Hungary
Turul Boutique Rooms & Apartment sits on Petőfi utca in Szarvas, a small Great Plain town better known for its arboretum and Körös River waterways than its accommodation scene. The property holds a Michelin Selected designation for 2025, placing it among Hungary's recognised smaller stays at a tier where design coherence and host attentiveness count more than room count or brand infrastructure.
Encinitas, United States
A Michelin Selected retreat on Nardo Road in Encinitas, Twelve Senses occupies the quieter, wellness-oriented tier of Southern California's coastal accommodation scene. The property sits apart from the busier resort corridors, positioning itself as a low-key alternative for travelers who treat rest and environment as the primary program.

A Michelin Selected inn on Woodstock's main gallery-lined street, Twin Gables of Woodstock sits at the intersection of the Catskills' arts-village heritage and its newer wave of design-conscious accommodation.

Bonifacio, France
Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, U Capu Biancu occupies a cliff-edge domain above the Straits of Bonifacio, positioning it among the more geographically specific properties in southern Corsica. Where comparable Bonifacio addresses trade on marina access or citadel proximity, this one trades on altitude and seclusion, with the sea visible from nearly every vantage point on the estate.
Hongcheon Gun, South Korea
Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, U Retreat sits in the forested hills of Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon Province — a region that has drawn Seoul's design-conscious travellers seeking mountain immersion without resort-scale infrastructure. The property operates in the quieter, specialist tier of Korean retreats, where architectural intention and natural setting carry more weight than amenity volume.
Passikudah, Sri Lanka
A Michelin Selected property on Sri Lanka's east coast, Uga Bay occupies one of Passikudah's most coveted stretches of shallow, reef-sheltered water. The design places architecture in conversation with the bay rather than against it, and the Uga Escapes group's eastern Sri Lanka footprint gives the property a logistical coherence that standalone resorts in this remote corridor rarely achieve.
Tissamaharama, Sri Lanka
Uga Chena Huts sits inside Yala's wildlife tourism zone near Tissamaharama, placing guests within the buffer of one of Sri Lanka's most active leopard habitats. Recognised by La Liste's Top Hotels ranking with 90.5 points in 2026, the property operates as a camp-style retreat where the surrounding ecosystem sets the daily rhythm. Logistics, dining, and activity are shaped entirely by what moves outside the huts.
Hatton, Sri Lanka
Uga Halloowella brings the hill-country bungalow tradition into a sharper design register: six rooms inside an early-1900s estate house on a 252-acre tea property near Hatton. The draw is not scale but atmosphere, with Channa Daswatte’s renovation balancing colonial-era timber and chandelier detail against Sri Lankan food cues and long views toward Castlereagh Reservoir.
Thirappane, Sri Lanka
A Michelin Selected walawwa estate in Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle, Uga Ulagalla occupies a restored colonial manor house set among paddy fields and ancient reservoirs outside Anuradhapura. The property sits within the orbit of some of the island's oldest Buddhist sites, placing it in a distinct tier of heritage-led luxury that few properties in the north-central province can match.
St. Anton Am Arlberg, Austria
A Michelin Selected hotel on Alte Arlbergstraße in the heart of St. Anton am Arlberg, Ullrhaus sits where alpine architectural character and ski-village practicality converge. For skiers and mountain travellers who want proximity to the Arlberg without the anonymous feel of a large chalet-hotel, it is a considered choice.
Uluwatu, Indonesia
Ulu Cliffhouse sits above the Indian Ocean on Uluwatu's southern Bukit peninsula, earning MICHELIN Selected status in 2025 for its position within Bali's cliffside hospitality tier.

Guests tend to arrive for the setting and stay for the food and drink program.
Barcelona, Spain
Uma House by Yurbban Trafalgar occupies a sharp address in Barcelona's El Born-Eixample border zone, where the city's pedestrian grid opens toward the old town. Selected by the Michelin Hotels guide for 2025, it sits in the city's mid-to-upper boutique tier alongside design-led independents that trade on neighbourhood access over lobby spectacle. The location on Carrer de Trafalgar puts guests within walking distance of the Palau de la Música, the Arc de Triomf, and the dense bar-and-restaurant circuit of El Born.
Ungasan, Indonesia
Perched on a 230-foot cliff on Bali's southern coast, Umana Bali, LXR Hotels & Resorts arrived in late 2023 as an all-villa property positioning itself at the upper tier of Ungasan's cliff-edge hospitality scene. A 2026 Star Wine List recognition signals a wine programme that punches above the resort's age. The address alone — Jalan Melasti, Banjar Kelod — places it in the same dramatic coastal corridor as Bali's most architecturally serious properties.
Kamakura, Japan
Michelin Selected for 2025, Umito Kamakura Koshigoe occupies the coastal edge of Koshigoe, where Kamakura's historic interior gives way to the Shonan shoreline. The property sits within a small-scale accommodation tier that prizes proximity to the sea over hotel-group scale, making it a considered choice for travellers who want the ancient capital within reach without the bustle of central Kamakura lodging.
Madrid, Spain
UMusic Hotel Madrid occupies a restored building on Calle de la Paz, in the heart of central Madrid, and carries a MICHELIN Selected distinction for 2025. The property sits within walking distance of Sol and the city's main cultural corridors, positioning it as a music-themed hotel in a neighbourhood better known for grand palace conversions and historic palaces repurposed for luxury stays.
Syracuse, Italy
A Michelin Selected hotel on mainland Syracuse, Una Hotel Siracusa positions itself at the functional upper end of the city's accommodation tier — structured, city-facing, and within reach of Ortigia's historic core. It carries Michelin's 2025 hotel selection, which places it alongside a small set of properties the guide considers worth noting in this part of Sicily.
Tulum, Mexico
Una Vida Tulum holds Michelin Selected status in the 2025 Michelin Hotels guide, placing it among a small tier of Tulum properties recognised for consistent quality. Located on Avenida 1 Sur between Calles 28 and 29, the hotel sits within the town zone rather than the hotel strip, offering a quieter orientation for travellers who prefer proximity to local life over beachfront spectacle.
Acadia National Park, United States
Under Canvas Acadia places guests inside the spruce and granite corridor of Maine's coast, where canvas tent accommodations earn Michelin Selected recognition for the caliber of the experience rather than its square footage. The format trades hotel-lobby distance for direct proximity to Acadia National Park's trails, tidal pools, and dark-sky ridgelines. For travelers who want the park at its most immediate, this is the structural argument for glamping over a conventional inn.
Bryce Canyon National Park, United States
Under Canvas Bryce Canyon earns Michelin Selected recognition for a format that places guests close to one of Utah's most geologically dramatic parks without sacrificing structural comfort. Safari-style tent accommodations sit against a high-desert backdrop where the light shifts from amber to deep violet at dusk. It occupies a clear position in the premium glamping tier, distinct from both roadside motels and conventional lodge hotels.
White Salmon, United States
Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge sits on a hillside above White Salmon, Washington, where the Pacific Northwest's most dramatic river corridor meets a canvas-and-timber accommodation format that earned Michelin Selected recognition in 2025. The property trades permanent walls for unobstructed sightlines across the Gorge, placing it in a category of nature-immersive lodging that has outgrown the glamping label.
Glacier National Park, United States
Under Canvas Glacier holds Michelin Selected status among Montana's premium outdoor accommodation options, placing canvas-walled lodging within reach of Glacier National Park's most dramatic terrain. The property occupies a specific tier in American nature-immersion hospitality where design discipline, material restraint, and proximity to protected wilderness define the offer more than amenity count does.
Valle, United States
Under Canvas Grand Canyon places guests in canvas-walled tented suites a short drive from the South Rim, where the absence of hard architecture is the design statement. The camp format positions it squarely within the premium nature-immersion tier of American glamping, where minimal built footprint and maximum sky exposure define the experience. Book well ahead: the Rim season compresses demand into a narrow window.
Great Smoky Mountains, United States
Under Canvas Great Smoky Mountains, a Michelin Selected property on Laurel Lick Road in Tennessee, sits at the intersection where structured hospitality meets open terrain. The camp format places canvas accommodations against a backdrop of forested ridgelines, offering a materially different proposition from the region's lodge-style alternatives. For travellers who want proximity to Great Smoky Mountains National Park without the trade-off of a conventional hotel room, this is a considered choice.
Lake Powell, United States
Michelin Selected for 2025, Under Canvas Lake Powell - Grand Staircase puts guests in canvas tent accommodations on the edge of the Grand Staircase-Escalante, where the sky functions as the primary design element. The format sits in a growing tier of design-conscious outdoor stays that trade hotel infrastructure for direct landscape immersion. It is among the more considered options for accessing this stretch of southern Utah.
Moab, United States
Under Canvas Moab puts guests within a few miles of Arches National Park in canvas tent accommodations that sit somewhere between expedition camp and considered design hotel. Selected for the Michelin Hotels guide in 2025, it occupies a specific niche in the Moab lodging market: outdoor immersion without the penalty of roughing it. For travelers who want the red rock plateau at sunrise without leaving behind a real bed, it is the clearest option in that category.
Yellowstone National Park, United States
A Michelin Selected glamping property in Montana's Paradise Valley, Under Canvas North Yellowstone puts canvas-walled tents within reach of Yellowstone's northern entrance.

West Yellowstone, United States
Under Canvas West Yellowstone sits at 890 Buttermilk Creek Road, placing guests within reach of one of North America's most active geothermal landscapes. The camp format positions itself inside a growing tier of upscale outdoor hospitality where canvas walls, wood-burning stoves, and proximity to national park terrain replace conventional hotel infrastructure. It draws travellers who want structured access to wilderness without trading away comfort entirely.
Yosemite Valley, United States
Under Canvas Yosemite occupies a different tier from the valley's standard lodging options, offering semi-permanent canvas tent structures on the Stanislaus National Forest edge with Michelin Selected recognition in 2025. It sits within a growing category of design-conscious wilderness accommodation that trades fixed walls for direct landscape immersion, positioned above basic camping and below enclosed resort formats.
Zion National Park, United States
Under Canvas Zion sits at the edge of one of Utah's most dramatic canyon systems, offering safari-style tent accommodations with direct access to Zion National Park's trails and landscapes. A 2025 Michelin Selected property, it occupies the growing tier of design-led outdoor hospitality where comfort and setting work together without either apologizing for the other.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Selected by the Michelin hotel guide for 2025, Unfound Door is a design hotel on Davit Aghmashenebeli Avenue, one of Tbilisi's most architecturally layered thoroughfares. The property sits within Tbilisi's growing cohort of design-led boutique stays that trade international chain scale for neighbourhood specificity and considered interiors. It represents a particular approach to Georgian hospitality that has drawn international editorial attention over the past several years.
Akumal, Mexico
UNICO 20°N 87°W sits on the Riviera Maya coastline near Akumal, operating within the UNICO Hotel Collection since receiving its first award recognition in 2019.

Nantucket, United States
A white clapboard inn on one of Nantucket's quietest residential streets, Union Street Inn occupies a category that sits between the island's large resort properties and its smallest B&B operations. The address at 7 Union Street places guests within walking distance of the historic district, the ferry terminals, and the restaurants that define the town's summer dining scene.
Zermatt, Switzerland
A Michelin Selected property on Zermatt's main thoroughfare, Unique Hotel Post occupies one of the village's most recognisable addresses at Bahnhofstrasse 41.

Cambridge, United Kingdom
University Arms Hotel on Regent Street is a MICHELIN Selected property that anchors Cambridge's traditional grand hotel tier. A Victorian landmark restored to contemporary standards, it places guests within walking distance of the university's central colleges and Fitzwilliam Museum.

Tamano, Japan
Michelin Selected for 2025, Uno Hotel occupies a low-key address in Tamano, Okayama Prefecture, where the Seto Inland Sea sets the visual and culinary register. The property sits within reach of Naoshima's art island circuit and represents the quieter, design-attentive end of Japan's regional accommodation spectrum. For travellers routing through the Setouchi area, it offers a grounded alternative to the larger resort formats further along the coast.
Zanzibar, Tanzania
Upendo Beach Zanzibar sits on Michamvi Kae Road along the island's quieter east coast, earning MICHELIN Selected status in the 2025 hotels guide. The property occupies a niche shared by small-footprint beach stays that prioritise place over scale, trading the resort corridor for direct access to the Indian Ocean's tidal rhythms and the slower pace that defines this stretch of Zanzibar's coastline.
Big Indian, United States
Urban Cowboy sits in the Catskill Mountains of Big Indian, New York, roughly two and a half hours from Manhattan — a five-star property that trades city scale for deliberate remoteness. The design approach places it firmly in the tradition of architecturally considered wilderness retreats, where the physical environment does most of the talking and the distance from the city is the amenity.
Milan, Italy
Selected by the Michelin Guide for hotels in 2025, Urban Hive Milano occupies Corso Garibaldi 84 in Milan's Brera district, placing guests within walking distance of the neighbourhood's galleries, aperitivo bars, and design ateliers. The property sits in a segment of the Milan market that favours considered, smaller-scale stays over grand-hotel formality — a useful counterpoint to the city's trophy addresses.
Cologne, Germany
Michelin Selected for 2025, Urban Loft Cologne occupies a converted residential building on Eigelstein in the city's northern quarter, where industrial materiality and apartment-scale proportions set it apart from Cologne's grand-hotel tradition. The address places guests within the everyday grain of the city rather than at a tourist-facing postcard distance from the cathedral.
Ureshino, Japan
On the west side of the island of Kyushu, within Saga Prefecture, is the historic town of Ureshino, a place known for its tea plantations and its hot springs. Ureshina Yadoyo is a hotel that combines these two attractions in an organic way, alongside the typically Japanese spring-fed onsen baths is a sauna that adds the scent of tea leaves for an added restorative boost. The rooms are traditional in their inspiration but contemporary in their finish, and each one has its own private semi-outdoor spring-fed bath, as well as extensive facilities for brewing tea. A fine restaurant showcases local flavors, and tea ceremonies are held for guests’ benefit.
Valletta, Malta
Ursulino Valletta occupies a townhouse on St. Ursula Street in the heart of Malta's UNESCO-listed capital, earning Michelin Selected status in 2025.

Tartu, Estonia
V Spa Hotel sits on Riia Street in central Tartu, holding a 2025 MICHELIN Selected designation that places it within Estonia's small but growing tier of recognised spa-led properties. The address puts guests within reach of Tartu's university quarter and riverside dining, while the spa focus positions the hotel as a deliberate counterpoint to the city's more historically oriented accommodation options.
Phuket, Thailand
Carrying a 2025 Michelin Selected distinction, V Villas Phuket sits within the MGallery Collection on Ao Yon Road in Mueang Phuket — a quieter address than the island's resort-heavy west coast. The property positions itself in a design-led tier where architecture and spatial identity matter as much as amenity count. For travellers who prioritise considered spaces over large-scale resort infrastructure, it occupies a specific and coherent niche.
Istanbul, Turkey
Situated on Abdi İpekçi Caddesi in Nişantaşı, Istanbul's most concentrated stretch of international fashion and considered dining, Vakko Hotel and Residence carries the Michelin Selected distinction for 2025. The property is an address for travellers who want proximity to the city's quieter, wealthier residential quarter rather than the Bosphorus-view hotel circuit. Residence options make extended stays practical without sacrificing service density.
Porec, Croatia
The 2025 World Travel Awards winner for Croatia's Leading Boutique Hotel, Valamar Riviera Hotel & Residence occupies a prime address on Poreč's waterfront promenade, Obala Maršala Tita. The property sits at the crossroads of Istrian coastal character and considered hotel design, making it one of the Adriatic's more carefully positioned boutique options for travellers who want proximity to the old town without sacrificing comfort.
Brand, Austria
Valavier Aktivresort sits in Brand, a compact Vorarlberg village at the foot of the Brandnertal, and holds a place on the Michelin Selected Hotels list for 2025. The property positions itself within Austria's activity-focused alpine resort tier, where outdoor programming and architectural setting carry as much weight as the rooms themselves. It is a practical base for serious mountain activity rather than a passive retreat.
Marrakech, Morocco
A Country Winner in the Luxury All-Inclusive Resort category, Valeria Madina Club Resort sits within Marrakech's growing tier of full-service resort properties that trade the medina's boutique intensity for poolside ease and structured hospitality. Its all-inclusive format positions it as a self-contained base for travellers who want the Red City at arm's length rather than at close quarters.
Saariselka, Finland
A Michelin Selected property in the Finnish Arctic, VALO Ice Cube Villas places guests inside structures built from lake ice and snow, with the aurora borealis visible overhead through thermal glass ceilings. The format sits in a small category of accommodation where the room itself is the experience — cold-architecture sleeping quarters in one of Finland's most remote fell landscapes, above the Arctic Circle in Saariselkä.
Vrbnik, Croatia
A Michelin Selected property on the island of Krk, VERBENICUM sits within the stone-walled medieval village of Vrbnik, where the Adriatic drops sharply below the clifftop and the Žlahtina wine grape grows on terraces just outside the old gates. The address places it at the quieter, more architectural end of the Croatian Adriatic accommodation spectrum.
Montepulciano, Italy
A Michelin Selected property in the hills above Montepulciano, Villa Poggiano occupies a restored historic estate with direct views over the Val di Chiana. The property sits within the smaller, design-led tier of Tuscan villa hotels, where architectural integrity and agricultural setting carry more weight than resort-scale amenities. For travellers routing through southern Tuscany's wine country, it offers an alternative to the larger branded retreats nearby.
Bodolz, Germany
A family-run property on Lake Constance's quieter German shore, VILLINO combines fusion cuisine with a cellar holding 900 wines, set in a landscape where Bavaria gives way to Austria and Switzerland. Rates from US$305 per night reflect a property that sits apart from the large-format resort tier.
Bari, Italy
A Michelin Selected property on Via Sagarriga Visconti, VIS Urban Suites & Spa positions itself within Bari's emerging design-hotel tier: a category that prizes architectural character and spa access over scale. The address places guests within reach of both the old city's limestone lanes and the modern seafront, making it a credible base for anyone treating Puglia's capital as a destination rather than a stopover.
Clark, United States
Vista Verde Ranch sits on thousands of acres north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where the working-ranch format meets AAA Four-Diamond amenities. Private cabins with hot tubs, gourmet dining, and a herd of 100 horses define its offering. It occupies a specific niche in American luxury hospitality: immersive ranching life without sacrificing comfort.
Johannesburg, South Africa
Set within the secured grounds of Featherbrooke Estate on Johannesburg's western periphery, Vivari Hotel and Spa holds dual recognition as a Regional Winner for Luxury Spa Hotel and a Country Winner for Luxury Small Hotel. The property occupies a quieter register than the city's Sandton corridor, trading scale for seclusion and positioning itself firmly within South Africa's boutique estate-hotel tradition.
Nosy Be, Madagascar
Andilana Beach Resort occupies two white-sand beaches on Nosy Be's northern tip, holding the distinction of Madagascar's largest hotel and tourist complex. A 2025 World Luxury Hotel Awards recipient at both country and continent level, it positions itself where scale and tropical seclusion coexist — a combination that sets it apart from the island's smaller, more intimate lodges.
Madrid, Spain
Holding a Michelin Selected distinction for 2025, VP Plaza España Design occupies one of Madrid's most address-conscious positions, directly on Plaza de España. The property sits within the design-led segment of Madrid's upper hotel tier, offering a vertically layered experience that includes rooftop views across the city's western skyline. A considered option for travellers who want architectural ambition alongside central access to the capital.
