Sydney, Australia
A Michelin Selected hotel on Underwood Street in Sydney's Surry Hills, The Grand National Hotel by Saint Peter sits within a category of design-conscious, independently spirited properties that have reshaped the city's accommodation offering.

Bournemouth, United Kingdom
Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, The Green House in Bournemouth occupies a Victorian villa on Grove Road, positioning it within the smaller tier of design-conscious independent hotels on the south coast.

San Diego, United States
A Michelin Selected hotel on San Diego's South Coast Highway, The Green Room occupies a stretch of California coastline where proximity to the Pacific shapes both the atmosphere and the broader hospitality offer. Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, it sits within a competitive San Diego tier that rewards properties with a strong sense of place and considered design.
Hverager I, Iceland
Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, The Greenhouse Hotel sits in Hveragerði, a geothermal town roughly 45 minutes east of Reykjavík along the Ring Road. Its name and setting speak directly to Iceland's most distinctive natural asset: the volcanic heat that lets plants grow in glass houses amid near-arctic conditions. For travellers seeking a quieter base with easy access to the Golden Circle and the south coast, it occupies a compelling position in the Icelandic hotel map.
Chicago, United States
The Guesthouse Hotel on North Clark Street holds a MICHELIN Selected designation for 2025, placing it in the curated tier of Chicago accommodations reviewed and approved by the Michelin guide team. Positioned in the Andersonville neighbourhood, it operates at a remove from the Loop hotel corridor, appealing to travellers who prefer a residential address over a convention-district footprint.
Atlanta, United States
The Hamilton Alpharetta, part of Hilton's Curio Collection, carries a 2025 MICHELIN Selected designation that places it in a narrow tier of recognized hotels north of Atlanta's urban core. Located at 35 Milton Avenue in Alpharetta, it offers an alternative base for travelers who want proximity to Atlanta's northern suburbs without committing to a downtown address. The Michelin selection signals a standard of stay worth considering against the city's more central options.
Phaplu, Nepal
A mountain lodge in Phaplu with a documented connection to Sir Edmund Hillary, The Happy House sits at the edge of the Solu-Khumbu region where trekking routes begin and Sherpa culture runs deepest. For travellers moving through the Eastern Himalayas on foot, it occupies the kind of position that no amount of urban luxury can replicate: a warm room at altitude, in a valley that matters.
Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong
Positioned on Lockhart Road in the heart of Wan Chai, The Hari Hong Kong carries Michelin Selected status for 2025, placing it in a tier of Hong Kong Island hotels where design precision and address specificity carry more weight than square footage.

London, United Kingdom
Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, The Hari London occupies a quiet Belgravia address at 20 Chesham Place — a deliberate withdrawal from the bustle of neighbouring Knightsbridge. The property sits within a tier of design-led boutique hotels that trade on intimacy and neighbourhood specificity over grand-hotel scale, positioning it as a considered alternative to the larger Mayfair and Westminster flagships.
McCammon, United States
The Harkness Hotel in McCammon, Idaho, is the 2025 World Travel Awards winner for Idaho's Leading Boutique Hotel — a recognition that places this small-town property in a distinct tier among the state's independent lodging. Located at 206 Center St in a community defined by its position along the I-15 corridor near Pocatello, the hotel represents the growing category of design-conscious boutique properties in the American interior West.
Vienna, Austria
Selected by the Michelin Guide for Hotels 2025, The Harmonie Vienna sits in the quieter residential pocket of the 9th district, positioning it within a tier of Vienna properties that trade grand-boulevard theatre for neighbourhood substance.

Now open on Renville Point in Oranmore, The Hawthorn by Galway Bay brings a luxury hotel, sea-view dining, wellness, and golf to the Galway Bay shoreline east of Galway city.
Braunlage, Germany
The Hearts Hotel in Braunlage occupies a considered position among the Harz region's smaller, character-led properties, earning Michelin Selected recognition in 2025. Addressed at Am Jermerstein 18-19, it represents the kind of intimate, design-attentive stay that Germany's mid-sized mountain towns increasingly support. For travellers seeking something beyond the chain-hotel formula in Lower Saxony, it warrants serious attention.
Portland, United States
One of Portland's most enduring addresses, The Heathman Hotel has occupied the corner of SW Broadway and Salmon since the 1920s, combining period architecture with a serious art collection, a restaurant driven by a seasonal-nightly menu, and a Tea Room that remains one of the city's more considered afternoon rituals.
Hensonville, United States
An award-winning boutique hotel in Hensonville, New York, The Henson pairs design-forward rooms and a meditative library with fine dining at Restaurant Matilda. It sits at the quieter, more considered end of Catskills hospitality, appealing to those who come for landscape immersion rather than resort programming. The honor bar and deliberate pace signal a property built around atmosphere over amenity count.
Jakarta, Indonesia
A MICHELIN Selected hotel on Jalan Cilacap in Menteng, The Hermitage occupies one of Jakarta's most characterful colonial-era addresses. Part of Marriott's Tribute Portfolio, it positions itself in the design-led independent tier of the city's hotel market, combining heritage architecture with a guest experience that prioritises personalisation over scale.
Woodstock, United States
A Michelin Selected inn on Tinker Street in Woodstock, The Herwood Inn sits within the Catskills' most design-conscious accommodation tier — small-scale, independently operated, and positioned for travelers who treat the Hudson Valley as a destination rather than a weekend detour. Its selection for the 2025 Michelin Hotels guide places it alongside a narrow cohort of regionally rooted properties earning national editorial attention.
Manali, India
The Himalayan sits on Hadimba Temple Road in Manali, Himachal Pradesh, where mountain-town boutique hospitality has matured into a recognisable tier. Named Himachal Pradesh's Leading Boutique Hotel at the 2025 World Travel Awards, it positions itself above the valley's mid-range guesthouses and operates at a scale where setting, food programme, and room design carry more weight than brand affiliation.
Atami, Japan
Selected by the Michelin Hotels guide 2025, The Hiramatsu Hotels & Resorts Atami sits within one of Japan's most storied onsen resort towns, bringing the Hiramatsu group's French-inflected hospitality and dining standards to a coastline long associated with Tokyo-era weekenders. The property offers a concentrated version of the brand's culinary programme against a backdrop of Izu Peninsula views and mineral-rich hot spring culture.
Lewisburg, United States
West Virginia's 2025 World Travel Awards winner for Leading Boutique Hotel, The Historic General Lewis Inn sits on East Washington Street in Lewisburg, a town whose architectural character runs unusually deep for a small Appalachian city. The inn draws on a vernacular that predates most American hotel formats, pairing period-faithful interiors with the kind of unhurried pace that defines the Greenbrier Valley at its most appealing.
Grass Valley, United States
A Gold Rush-era brick landmark on Grass Valley's main street, The Holbrooke Hotel carries more than 170 years of California history within its walls and holds a 2025 MICHELIN Selected distinction. The property sits in a town that most Northern California travelers pass through rather than stop in, which makes its architectural permanence and editorial recognition all the more worth examining.
Holcombe, United Kingdom
Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, The Holcombe sits in the Somerset village of Holcombe, where country-house hospitality operates at a quieter register than the region's more publicised retreats. The property's inclusion in the Michelin Selected list positions it among Britain's independently recognised hotels, making it a considered option for travellers who prefer character over brand infrastructure.
Los Angeles, United States
Carrying a 2025 Michelin Selected designation, The Hollywood Grande on Wilcox Avenue occupies a corner of central Hollywood where the neighbourhood's layered entertainment history is impossible to ignore. Guests seeking a Michelin-vetted base for the Los Angeles Area will find the address well-placed for the city's denser cultural corridor.
Zürich, Switzerland
Anchored in Zurich's emerging Wollishofen district and shaped by the irreverent spirit of the Dada movement, The Home Hotel Zürich offers a deliberately unconventional address in a city better known for its banking corridors than its avant-garde edge. The property sits at Kalandergasse 1, operating as a counterpoint to the grand lakeside institutions that dominate most Zurich hotel shortlists.
Kyoto, Japan
Positioned in Higashiyama-ku at the foot of Kyoto's eastern hills, The Hotel Higashiyama by Kyoto Tokyu Hotel, A Pan Pacific Hotel, carries a 2025 Michelin Selected distinction and places itself within the city's smaller-scale, design-conscious luxury tier. The address puts guests within walking distance of Sanneizaka, Chion-in, and the Shirakawa canal district, making it one of the more practically sited hotels in this part of the city.
Grand Junction, United States
The last of downtown Grand Junction's twelve original historic hotels, the 1908 Melrose was built by the Ponsford duo and has outlasted every one of its contemporaries. The interiors embrace a moody Western aesthetic: navy walls, brass sconces, iron bed frames, leather bolsters, and mounted antlers, while the technology is entirely contemporary: keyless entry, digital concierge, no front desk. Melrose Spirit Co., the on-site tiki-inflected cocktail bar, is an unexpected counterpoint to all that Western grit. Colorado National Monument and Palisade wine country are both close enough to make a day of.
Portsmouth, United States
The Hotel Portsmouth holds a 2025 MICHELIN Selected designation, placing it among a small cohort of recognized properties in New Hampshire's most historically layered city.

For travelers treating the Seacoast region as a destination rather than a detour, it represents one of the more considered lodging choices in the area.
Salem, United States
The Hotel Salem earns a place on the Michelin Selected Hotels 2025 list from a address on Essex Street that puts guests inside one of New England's most historically layered small cities. The property's position in Salem's pedestrian core makes it a credible base for both the city's dense architectural heritage and its October-peak cultural calendar. A considered option for travellers who want proximity to place over resort-scale amenity.
Krabi, Thailand
A Michelin Selected property on Koh Lanta's Ba Kantiang Bay, The Houben Hotel sits at the quieter end of Krabi's accommodation spectrum, where small scale and bay-facing seclusion define the offer. The property earns recognition through attentive, personalised service rather than resort volume, positioning it alongside Koh Lanta's boutique tier rather than the larger Krabi mainland circuit.
Johannesburg, South Africa
Set within the leafy residential enclave of Houghton Estate, The Houghton Hotel Spa, Wellness and Golf holds dual recognition as a Regional Winner for Luxury City Hotel and Country Winner for Luxury Business Hotel. The property combines a full-service spa, wellness facilities, and a golf course with the measured pacing of a hotel built for guests who treat rest and recovery as deliberately as any boardroom agenda.
Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal
Occupying a historic building tied to one of port wine's most recognisable names, The House of Sandeman in Vila Nova de Gaia sits at the intersection of industrial heritage and contemporary hostel design. Michelin Selected in 2025, it offers a rare accommodation format on the Gaia bank: heritage architecture, communal energy, and proximity to the lodges — without the rates of the riverside hotel tier.
Berlin, Germany
Carrying Michelin Selected status in 2025, The Hoxton Berlin occupies a Charlottenburg address on Meinekestraße that positions it squarely within the city's mid-luxury design hotel tier. The brand's signature open-lobby ethos and community-facing programming translate well to Berlin's architectural register, where adaptive reuse and deliberate informality have long shaped how the city's better hotels operate.
Brussels, Belgium
Selected by the Michelin Hotel Guide 2025, The Hoxton Brussels occupies a considered address at Square Victoria Régina, fitting squarely into the city's growing cohort of design-forward, character-led hotels. The property follows the Hoxton playbook of open-lobby sociability and thoughtfully dressed rooms, positioned as an alternative to both anonymous chain hotels and the city's grand historic properties.
Chicago, United States
The Hoxton, Chicago occupies a converted Fulton Market warehouse at 200 N Green St, placing a design-conscious, communal-format hotel at the edge of one of the city's most active dining and nightlife corridors. The property follows the Hoxton group's signature approach: open, lobby-centric spaces that blur the line between hotel guest and neighbourhood regular, with daytime and evening atmospheres that read almost as two distinct experiences.
Los Angeles, United States
The Hoxton, Downtown LA occupies a converted space on South Broadway in the Historic Core, earning Michelin Selected recognition in 2025. The property sits within the broader wave of design-led independent hotels that have repositioned Downtown Los Angeles as a serious hospitality address, offering a mid-scale alternative to the neighbourhood's heritage hotel stock and the westside luxury corridor.
Dublin, Ireland
The Hoxton Dublin rises from a site where archaeologists found Viking feast pits and medieval coins before construction could begin. Locals remember the building for its first-floor Library Bar, which operated for decades before the previous hotel closed. Now it is back, serving oysters and martinis beneath restored plasterwork. The guestrooms work in rust and moss green against navy backdrops, following the brand's usual size categories from snug upward. Cantina Valentina, the Peruvian restaurant, handles everything from breakfast through evening service. Dollars shifts from daytime café to wine bar after hours. Exchequer Street puts the front door steps from Dublin's nightlife center.
Florence, Italy
Selected by the Michelin guide for 2025, The Hoxton Florence occupies a converted palazzo on Via delle Mantellate in the Oltrarno-adjacent San Lorenzo quarter, bringing the group's characteristically social, design-conscious format to a city where heritage hospitality has long dominated. It sits in a distinct tier from Florence's grand-palazzo luxury, appealing to travellers who want neighbourhood access and communal energy over ceremonial formality.
London, United Kingdom
The Hoxton, Holborn sits on one of central London's most transited corridors, where Bloomsbury meets the legal quarter at High Holborn. The property occupies a converted Victorian building and positions itself in the design-led independent tier rather than the grand-hotel circuit, drawing a mix of neighbourhood regulars, creative professionals, and overnight guests who prefer their lobby to function as a working room as much as a reception.
Paris, France
In the 2nd arrondissement's Sentier district, The Hoxton, Paris occupies a pair of 18th-century Haussmann buildings that have become a reference point for design-conscious travellers who prefer neighbourhood immersion over palace-hotel formality. Its lobbies function as genuine all-day social spaces, drawing a mix of local creatives and international visitors who return precisely because the hotel feels more like a Parisian address than a transit stop.
