Rye, United States
A Michelin Selected property on New Hampshire's Seacoast, Rye Motor Inn & Swim Shop sits along Ocean Boulevard where the Atlantic defines the pace of things.

Kurashiki, Japan
A Michelin Selected ryokan occupying a preserved Edo-period merchant house in Kurashiki's Bikan historical quarter, Ryokan Kurashiki places guests inside one of western Japan's most coherent stretches of traditional townhouse architecture.

A Michelin Selected address on rue Richer in Paris's 9th arrondissement, Résidence Nell sits in the quieter tier of Paris accommodation that trades grand-hotel scale for residential character.

A Michelin Selected property on Koh Samui's Chaweng beachfront, SALA Samui Chaweng Beach Resort positions itself within the island's mid-to-upper tier of design-conscious resorts.

Nakuru, Kenya
Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge sits inside Lake Nakuru National Park, holding three award tiers — Regional, Country, and Continent — across luxury safari categories. The lodge's position on the park's escarpment places guests within the flamingo-and-rhino circuit that defines Nakuru's ecological reputation. For Kenya safari itineraries that require both wildlife density and verified lodge quality, Lion Hill ranks among the Rift Valley's most recognised addresses.

Johannesburg, South Africa
Seven Villa Hotel and Spa sits in Strathavon, Sandton, holding dual recognition as both a Regional Winner in Luxury Boutique Villa and a Continent Winner in Luxury Banquet and Event Hotel. The property occupies a quieter residential pocket of Johannesburg's most commercially active district, positioning it alongside the city's smaller design-led accommodation tier rather than its large international flagships.

Cancún, Mexico
SHA Mexico brings the integrative wellness model pioneered at SHA Wellness Clinic in Spain to Cancún's northern coastline, positioning food and natural therapies as clinical tools rather than spa amenities. The property sits outside the Hotel Zone on Carretera a Punta Sam, separating it from the resort corridor and signalling a different set of priorities. Guests arrive for structured health programmes, not beach holidays with a detox option bolted on.
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
SHIRVAN Hotel City Yard Jeddah holds a MICHELIN Selected distinction in the 2025 guide, placing it within a small cohort of Jeddah properties that have passed the guide's independent assessment.

Kamloops, Canada

The property sits at the intersection of Beverly Hills' retail and dining concentration, making it a practical base for those prioritising walkable access to the neighbourhood's core.
New York City, United States
Over the last few decades the center of gravity of hipness in New York has tracked steadily to the south and east. And given how long these things take to make, it’s natural that only just now are we beginning to see high-end boutique hotels on the Lower East Side, among the first wave, the SIXTY LES, on Allen just south of Houston. This being Manhattan, space is at a premium. Everything’s modestely sized but impeccably designed, and packed with all the necessities, substantially in keeping with the SIXTY aesthetic. It’s an approach that works particularly well here; this is still the Lower East Side, and anything more upmarket would simply be overkill, in a neighborhood where most of the hotels are residential ones. It’s uncharted territory for hotels, but familiar ground for nightlife. The SIXTY doesn’t just take advantage of the local buzz, it aims to contribute its own: the new flagship restaurant is Blue Ribbon Sushi Iyazaka, a Japanese tavern serving sushi and drinks into the wee hours, and Make Believe, the open-air bar with the retractable roof, is bound to become a downtown fixture for members and hotel guests. And when the weather agrees, an outdoor pool bears the visage of none other than Andy Warhol, not many other downtown hotels can say something like that.
Nassau, Bahamas
SLS Baha Mar brings the brand's signature blend of South Beach glamour and design-forward sensibility to Cable Beach, Nassau, operating within the larger Baha Mar resort complex. Rooms are conceived for guests who treat the stay itself as an event, with amenities and shared facilities that position SLS between the Baha Mar campus's more traditional luxury tier and its design-conscious upper bracket. Booking lead times track closely with Nassau's peak winter season.
Barcelona, Spain
Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, SLS Barcelona occupies a sharp address on Carrer de la Pau in the city's central grid. The property sits inside Barcelona's growing tier of design-forward international hotels that trade on atmosphere as much as amenity. For travellers who want a recognisable brand with editorial credibility, it earns its place on that shortlist.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Carrying a Michelin Selected distinction for 2025, SLS Buenos Aires Puerto Madero occupies one of the city's most deliberate waterfront addresses on Juana Manso in the redeveloped docklands district. The property places itself in a tier of design-forward international hotel brands that compete on atmosphere and programming rather than sheer scale, offering a counterpoint to the grand boulevard institutions that define Recoleta and Palermo's premium accommodation market.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
SLS Dubai Hotel & Residences occupies Marasi Drive in Business Bay, where the brand's signature design-forward aesthetic meets one of Dubai's most active waterfront corridors. Recognised in the La Liste Top Hotels 2026 with 95 points, the property positions itself in the mid-to-upper tier of Dubai's increasingly competitive design-hotel segment, appealing to guests who want personality in their room alongside proximity to the city's financial core.
Los Angeles, United States
Positioned at the intersection of Beverly Hills and the La Cienega corridor, SLS Hotel has operated as one of Los Angeles's most closely watched addresses since opening in 2008. Philippe Starck's design runs throughout the 297-room property, from the all-white Ciel Spa to a pool area with daily toasting rituals. Rodeo Drive, Melrose Avenue, and the West Hollywood dining corridor sit within a ten-minute drive.
Miami, United States
A Michelin Selected hotel in Miami's Brickell financial district, SLS LUX Brickell brings the SLS brand's design-forward identity to one of the city's most architecturally concentrated neighbourhoods. The tower format, high-floor views over Biscayne Bay, and proximity to the area's dining corridor position it as a credible alternative to Miami Beach's resort strip for travellers who prefer urban density over sand.
Bel Ombre, Mauritius
SO Sofitel Mauritius sits on the southwest coast of the island in Bel Ombre, earning Michelin Selected status in the 2025 hotel guide. The property belongs to Accor's design-forward SO/ brand, which positions it in a different competitive register from the island's more traditional luxury resorts. For travellers drawn to architecture-led stays on a quieter stretch of Mauritius coastline, it represents a considered alternative.
Vienna, Austria
SO/ Vienna occupies Praterstraße 1 in the second district, placing a design-forward lifestyle hotel on the edge of Vienna's historic Prater.
Saint Petersburg, Russia
SO/ Saint Petersburg on Voznesensky Avenue earned a La Liste Top Hotels score of 95.5 points in 2026, placing it among the more formally recognised addresses in the city. The property's design-led positioning separates it from the palace-hotel tradition dominant along the Neva embankment, offering a distinct point of entry into St Petersburg's upper accommodation tier.
Nagatoyumoto, Japan
SOIL Nagatoyumoto puts guests within walking distance of the thermal springs, riverside paths, and local flavors that define this quiet corner of Yamaguchi Prefecture. The property is designed around direct access to the onsen neighborhood rather than insulating visitors from it — a deliberate positioning that separates it from resort-style retreats elsewhere in western Japan.
