Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain
Hotel Suite Villa Maria sits on the clifftop edge of Adeje, holding two international awards — Regional Winner for Luxury Villa Resort and Global Winner for Luxury Golf Resort.

Paris, France
Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, HOY Paris sits on rue des Martyrs in the 9th arrondissement, positioning itself within a small cohort of wellness-led boutique hotels that treat sleep and recovery as the primary amenity.

Rovaniemi, Finland
Haawe Boutique Apart Hotel occupies a central address on Valtakatu in Rovaniemi, Finland's main gateway to Arctic Lapland.

Mexico City, Mexico
A five-storey glass structure on Presidente Masaryk, Habita sits at the upper end of Polanco's design-led hotel tier, separating itself from the neighbourhood's larger international flags through a program of Modernist architecture, curated Mexican art, and rare designer furniture. Where the area's corporate properties scale for volume, Habita operates at a more deliberate pace and considerably smaller footprint.
San Pedro Garza Garcia, Mexico
A design-forward hotel in San Pedro Garza García's polished Valle corridor, Habita Monterrey pairs midcentury-inflected architecture with views across the Sierra Madre foothills.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Temozon Sur, Mexico
A former 17th-century henequen estate on the Mérida-Uxmal corridor, Hacienda Temozon carries Michelin Selected recognition and the full weight of Yucatán's hacienda-conversion tradition. Stone arches, colonial-era cane-processing structures, and a cenote on the grounds define the physical experience. It positions clearly within the upper tier of Mexico's heritage-property category.
Campeche, Mexico
A 17th-century hacienda set 20 kilometres outside Campeche city, Hacienda Uayamon carries Michelin Selected recognition for 2025 and belongs to a small tier of heritage conversion properties that treat architectural preservation as the primary guest experience.

Mérida, Mexico
Hacienda Xcanatun, Angsana Heritage Collection occupies a restored 18th-century henequen estate twelve kilometres north of Mérida, with 54 suites spread across four acres of private gardens.

Seville, Spain
Halfway between Seville and the coastal city of Cádiz, in the Andalusian countryside, Hacienda de San Rafael occupies a five-acre estate which still serves as a working farm, producing olive oil alongside what’s now a thriving, if still small-scale, hospitality concern. Brothers Anthony and Patrick Reid are also the proprietors of Corral del Rey, in Seville proper, and their talent for human-scale luxury boutique hospitality is just as evident here as it is there. The rooms start out at a generous 45 square meters, and flank a central courtyard. Their interiors are an eclectic mix of Andalucian, Indian, and Zimbabwean elements, and they’re exceedingly comfortable, with king beds, private verandas, and splendid marble baths. Meanwhile the Casita Suites and Pool Suites take things up a notch or two. They’re villas, each with a private pool, and each one a self-contained residential experience, and a luxurious one, at that. To this the estate adds three swimming pools, set in citrus and olive groves, as well as a pair of outdoor bars and a restaurant that features stronger examples from market-fresh Andalusian cooking. Pair it with Corral del Rey for a powerful city-country combination, or just hole up here and live the good life, Andalusian style.

For travellers weighing Jeju's larger integrated properties, Haevichi offers a geographically distinct alternative to the west-coast concentration of major competitors.
Stockholm, Sweden
Hagastrand belongs to the Stockholm hotel conversation where setting and spatial mood matter as much as conventional luxury markers. With for awards, pricing, room count, booking method, or design credits, the useful reading is comparative: treat it as a Stockholm stay to verify directly, then measure it against the city’s better-documented design hotels, townhouse properties, and waterfront addresses.
Hakonemachi, Ashigarashimo Gun, Japan
Hakone Kowakien Tenyu, a MICHELIN Selected property for 2025, sits at Ninotaira in the heart of the Hakone volcanic zone, where the ryokan tradition of forest immersion and thermal bathing reaches one of its more considered expressions.

Hamilton, Bermuda
Hamilton Princess & Beach Club occupies a singular position in Bermuda's accommodation market: a grand Victorian-era pink palace operating as the island's only luxury urban resort, with direct Hamilton Harbour frontage, a private Beach Club, and the kind of institutional history that comes from hosting the 35th America's Cup and inaugural SailGP. The Fairmont-managed property layers contemporary art, multiple dining formats, and a full marina onto its heritage bones.
Malborghetto Valbruna, Italy
Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, Hammerack Hotel Restaurant & SPA occupies a rare position in the Carnic Alps: a property that pairs mountain architecture with a full spa offer in one of northern Italy's least-trafficked valleys.

Newport, United States
Hammetts Hotel occupies a prime position on Newport's Commercial Wharf, placing guests within walking distance of the harbor, the historic waterfront district, and the sailing culture that defines the city. Recognized by the Michelin Guide as a Selected hotel for 2025, it sits in a competitive tier of Newport properties that trade on location as much as service. For travelers who want the water close and the town within reach, the address does much of the work.
Saint Philips, Antigua and Barbuda
Adults-only, with a 24-hour personal ambassador model and a dining program spanning multiple restaurant concepts, it occupies a distinct tier in Antigua's luxury resort market — named Antigua and Barbuda's Leading Boutique Hotel at the 2025 World Travel Awards.
Island Of Maui, United States
It’s something of an oblique commentary on our perpetually wired existence that one of Maui’s most lauded resorts is particularly notable for its lack of televisions, phones, and even alarm clocks. Now there’s certainly no shame in valuing the convenience of on-demand movies and instant access to social networks, but if you absolutely can’t live without these things, then Hana Maui Resort probably isn’t for you. If, on the other hand, you’d like to find out how long you can successfully unplug from the daily grind, consider this resort the setting for a beautiful endurance test. Hana lies on the eastern tip of Maui, reachable by a long stretch of coastal highway. By the time you arrive at the open-air cottages of Hana Maui Resort, you’ll have had plenty of time to acclimate to the gorgeous desolation that sets this stretch of the island apart from tourist-clogged Lahaina. Situated to take advantage of the cool trade winds (there’s no need for air-conditioning), the cottages are decorated in the polished style of a spacious sun porch. Vaulted ceilings foster an appealingly rustic atmosphere, and private hot tubs should banish any lingering thoughts of unchecked email. The hotel’s cliffside location does wonders for its scenic tranquility, the black lava rocks are as photogenic as any beach, and guests yearning for adventure have access to a wealth of guided experiences, from horseback rides to yoga to good old-fashioned lei-making. Afterward, finish off the day at chef Barry Villiarimo’s Ka’uiki restaurant, where the menu changes regularly and the fish is always fresh from the sea. Please note: Children 15 and under are allowed only in Garden Junior Suites. How to get there: It is recommended to rent a car from Kahului Airport (OGG) and drive to Hana Maui Resort, a 2-3 hour ride along the scenic Hana Highway. Airport transfers to and from OGG are available at approximately $200 (US) each way. Complimentary shuttle service is available to and from the Hana Airport, located 5 miles away.

Xinyi District, Taiwan
