St. George’s Grenada, Grenada
Laluna sits on a hillside above Portici Beach in Grenada's Morne Rouge area, drawing together Caribbean, Balinese, and Italian design references into a small-scale tropical retreat. The property occupies one of the more architecturally considered positions on the island's southwest coast, where the hillside site creates natural separation between accommodation and the beach below.
St. George's, Grenada
Laluna Boutique Hotel and Villas sits on Portici Beach in St. George's, positioning itself within Grenada's smaller-scale design-led property tier rather than the island's all-inclusive circuit.

Mittelland, Switzerland
A Michelin Selected property in Switzerland's Mittelland region, Landgasthof Kreuz Kappel represents the traditional Landgasthof format at its most considered: a rural inn where architectural character and regional grounding matter as much as the table. For travellers moving through central Switzerland rather than anchoring in a resort city, it occupies a tier distinct from the grand lakeside palaces.

Surrey, United Kingdom
A Michelin Selected manor house hotel on Ladbroke Road in Surrey, Langshott Manor sits within the tier of country-house properties that trade on architectural character and rural seclusion over urban convenience.

For travellers calibrating between spectacle and seclusion, it occupies a distinct and deliberate position.
Vientiane, Laos
A Michelin Selected hotel on Henbounnoy Street in Vientiane's Chanthabouly District, Lao Poet Hotel sits within the quieter residential grain of the capital rather than its main tourist corridor.

Tampere, Finland
A Michelin Selected hotel in central Tampere, Lapland Hotel Tampere brings the design language of Finland's north into an urban address on Yliopistonkatu.

A MICHELIN Selected hotel occupying a restored colonial building on the edge of Casco Viejo, Las Clementinas places guests inside one of Panama City's most architecturally compelling neighbourhoods.

Sitting 3.5 miles north of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, Las Terrazas Resort earned a place on the 2025 Michelin Selected Hotels list, positioning it among the small cohort of Caribbean properties where design ambition and Barrier Reef proximity align.
