Mallorca, Spain
Lately, visitors to the Mallorcan capital with a taste for boutique hospitality find themselves spoiled for choice, on a per-capita basis there are few small cities with quite so many exquisitely individual boutique hotels. Hotel Antigua Palma, in the medieval Jewish quarter on the south side of the old city center, is a fine example: an aristocratic residence from the 17th century, remodeled in the 18th, and most recently converted into a 27-room luxury boutique hotel that combines classic architecture and well-preserved period details with contemporary furnishings and the high-end modern comforts demanded by 21st-century travelers. The rooms and suites, naturally, are all different, and vary from the relatively cozy Classic rooms to the properly palatial two-room Family Suite. The colors are restrained, even minimal, but the spaces are given life by the subtle play of textures and the plentiful natural light. There’s a rooftop terrace with a refreshing little plunge pool and views of the old town, as well as a spa, inspired by the city’s historic Arab Baths, featuring a heated pool, a sauna and hammam, and a chromotherapy/aromatherapy shower. In the house’s old vault is the Antigua Bar, and Terracotta, the terrace restaurant, is open all day long.

Quebec City, Canada
A Michelin Selected property on Rue Saint-Anne, Hotel AtypiQ occupies one of Old Quebec's most architecturally charged addresses, where 18th-century stone walls meet a deliberately contemporary interior approach.

It sits within a small tier of valley-floor properties that trade resort scale for genuine material rootedness and a thermal program built around the area's natural springs.
Les Trois Ilets, Martinique
Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, Hotel Bakoua occupies La Pointe du Bout on Martinique's southern coast, where the architecture reads as a sustained conversation between French colonial form and Caribbean openness.

Two hours from Paris, it draws a sophisticated weekend circuit.

Michelin Selected for 2025, Hotel Bellevue Obergurgl sits at Kressbrunnenweg 4 in one of Austria's highest and most snow-reliable alpine resorts. The property places itself in Obergurgl's mid-to-upper accommodation tier, where altitude, access to Ötztal skiing, and year-round mountain character define the offer more than urban amenities. A considered choice for skiers and walkers who want recognised quality without the scale of a resort complex.
Locarno, Switzerland
Hotel Belvedere Locarno holds a Michelin Selected designation in the 2025 guide, placing it among a small group of properties in Ticino recognised for consistent hospitality standards.
