Carrying a 2025 Michelin Selected designation, Melia Ba Vi Mountain Retreat sits inside Ba Vi National Park at roughly 600 metres elevation, trading Hanoi's urban density for cool mountain air and forest surroundings.

For travellers seeking distance from the capital without leaving its administrative boundaries, the calculus is direct.
Cam Ranh, Vietnam
Carrying MICHELIN Selected status in the 2025 guide, Melia Vinpearl Cam Ranh occupies a prominent position among Khanh Hoa Province's resort tier, where the Melia brand's Mediterranean design sensibility meets the bay-front topography of Vietnam's fastest-developing coastal corridor.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates
A MICHELIN Selected property on Al Awir Road, Meliá Desert Palm sits at the quieter eastern edge of Dubai, where polo grounds and open desert replace the city's usual glass-and-steel backdrop.

Booking is direct for most of the year, with demand peaking during winter polo season.
Genoa, Italy
Meliá Genova occupies a central address on Via Corsica in one of Italy's most underappreciated port cities. The property sits within the Meliá Hotels International portfolio, placing it in a mid-to-upper tier of Genoa's hotel offer alongside a handful of internationally branded competitors.

Koh Samui, Thailand
A Michelin Selected hotel on Choeng Mon Beach in Koh Samui's quieter north-east corner, Meliá Koh Samui sits within the Bophut district where the island's pace slows and the architecture opens toward the Gulf.

Michelin Selected for 2025, Meltar Boutique Hotel occupies a quiet address on Via Meltar in Asiago, the high-plateau town in the Veneto known for its cheese tradition and alpine meadows. The property sits in the smaller, design-led tier of Italian mountain hospitality, where architectural restraint and local material choices do the work that scale cannot. A considered base for the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni.
Lisbon, Portugal
Positioned on a cobbled lane in Alfama, Lisbon's oldest surviving neighbourhood, Memmo Alfama occupies an 1800s building with direct views across the rooftops to the Tagus River. The property sits in a tier of Lisbon boutique hotels that prioritise neighbourhood immersion over grand-lobby scale, placing guests inside the fado quarter rather than above it. For travellers arriving in autumn or spring, the terrace views at dusk are the main event.
Sagres, Portugal
At the southwestern tip of Europe, where the Atlantic pushes hard against ancient cliffs, Memmo Baleeira sits in Sagres with a design sensibility that answers the landscape directly: stripped back, material-honest, and quietly deliberate. The property positions itself in the small tier of design-led Portuguese hotels that treat architectural restraint as a guiding principle rather than an aesthetic gesture. For travellers reaching this far corner of the Algarve, it marks a clear step above the region's standard coastal offering.
San Sebastián, Spain
Mendi Argia sits on the slopes above San Sebastián along Paseo Ulia, earning Michelin Selected status in 2025.

Preveza, Greece

For travellers prioritising seclusion over spectacle, this stretch of northwestern Greece delivers on both counts.
Madrid, Spain
Occupying a refined address in Madrid's Retiro district, Mercer Madrid operates at the intersection of architectural character and green gastronomy, earning a Star Wine List distinction for 2026.

Seville, Spain
Sitting on Plaza San Francisco at the civic heart of Seville, Mercer Plaza Sevilla carries Michelin Selected status for 2025 and positions itself within a small cohort of hotels where address and architectural character do most of the editorial work. The plaza setting places guests within walking distance of the cathedral quarter, the Alcázar, and the city's main commercial artery, making it a practical as well as atmospheric base.
Da Nang, Vietnam
Perched in the Bà Nà Hills above Da Nang, this Mercure property occupies a French Village setting that separates it physically and experientially from the city's beach-strip hotels. A Regional Winner for Luxury Honeymoon Hotel, it draws couples seeking altitude, cooler temperatures, and an architectural environment that reads more Alpine resort than coastal Vietnam. Access via cable car adds a layer of deliberate separation from the urban pace below.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Mercure Dubai Barsha Heights – Hotel Suites & Apartments sits in one of Dubai's most accessible mid-city neighbourhoods, offering suite and apartment-format accommodation that earned a Continent Winner award for Luxury Family Hotel.

Figeac, France
A medieval merchant's townhouse converted into a Michelin Selected hotel on Figeac's rue Émile Zola, the Mercure Viguier du Roy positions itself as one architecturally grounded address in a town that takes its built heritage seriously. Stone vaulting, exposed timber, and a sequence of historic rooms make it the natural base for visitors tracing the Lot Valley or the Champollion connection.

Rochefort, France
Carrying Michelin Selected status in 2025, Mercure La Corderie Royale occupies one of Rochefort's most architecturally significant addresses, set within the grounds of the 17th-century Royal Rope Factory.

Kooddoo Island, Maldives
Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort sits in Gaafu Alifu Atoll, far enough from the heavily trafficked North Malé corridor to read as a genuine departure from the Maldives mainstream.
Tbilisi, Georgia
A Michelin Selected hotel positioned on Vakhtang Gorgasali Street in Tbilisi's Old Town, Mercure Tbilisi Old Town places guests within walking distance of the Narikala fortress, the sulphur bath district, and the dense concentration of wine bars and Georgian restaurants that define the neighbourhood.

Hanoi, Vietnam
Meritel Hanoi sits on Hàng Bông Street in Hoàn Kiếm, one of the Old Quarter's most walkable corridors, and holds a Regional Winner award for Luxury Design Hotel.

New York City, United States
Merrion Row Hotel and Public House sits on West 45th Street in Midtown Manhattan, earning a place on the Michelin Selected Hotels 2025 list.

It occupies a distinct niche for travelers who want Midtown proximity with a more grounded, pub-rooted character.
La Paz, Bolivia
Named Bolivia's Leading Boutique Hotel at the 2025 World Travel Awards, Met Hotel La Paz occupies a specific position in the city's premium accommodation tier — smaller in scale than the international chains along the Zona Sur corridor, but with a local-focus credential that peers like Atix Hotel and Baja Club also pursue. For travellers arriving in one of South America's most disorienting and compelling capitals, the address on Avenida de la Fuerza Naval places it within reach of the city's key institutional and cultural zones.
Methamis, France
Michelin Selected for 2025, Metafort sits in the village of Méthamis in the Vaucluse, a pocket of the Luberon plateau where medieval stone architecture sets the baseline for how accommodation looks and feels. The property occupies a building on the montée du Vieil Hôpital, placing it inside a village fabric that resists the resort polish common at larger Provençal retreats.
Belgrade, Serbia
A MICHELIN Selected hotel on Bulevar kralja Aleksandra, Metropol Palace occupies a position at the upper end of Belgrade's grand-hotel tier — a category defined by institutional scale, full-service dining programmes, and proximity to the city's central political and cultural corridor. The property carries the kind of address-weight that places it in the same conversation as the city's other large-format prestige hotels.
Taormina, Italy
A Michelin Selected maison d'hôtes on Taormina's main pedestrian corso, Metropole Taormina offers a quieter, more personal alternative to the town's larger luxury hotels.
