Hotels

Chobe National Park, Botswana

andBeyond Chobe Under Canvas

andBeyond Chobe Under Canvas places six tented suites directly inside Chobe National Park, where the Chobe River corridor draws some of Africa's densest elephant concentrations. The camp sits at the small-capacity end of the Botswana safari spectrum, prioritising proximity to wildlife over resort-scale infrastructure. Access is through Ngoma Gate, positioning guests close to both the floodplain and the park's interior game-viewing circuits.

Kirawira, Tanzania

andBeyond Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge

andBeyond Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge sits within the western Serengeti corridor as a ten-room camp positioned along the Grumeti River, where the Great Migration passes on its annual circuit. The intimate scale places it firmly in the specialist tier of Tanzanian safari accommodation, where low guest counts and direct wilderness access define the offer rather than resort amenities.

Kawai, Kenya

andBeyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp

andBeyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp sits inside the Masai Mara National Reserve with 40 tented rooms designed around the rhythms of one of Africa's most significant wildlife corridors. The camp places guests close to the annual wildebeest migration without sacrificing the structural quality expected from the andBeyond portfolio. It occupies a tier of East African safari accommodation where canvas and permanence are in deliberate tension.

Skukuza, South Africa

andBeyond Kirkman's Kamp

andBeyond Kirkman's Kamp sits inside the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, one of the oldest private concessions bordering Kruger National Park. Its 12 rooms occupy a 1920s heritage camp whose colonial-era architecture has been preserved rather than reinvented, placing it in a distinct tier among Sabi Sand properties where historical character, not contemporary minimalism, is the design proposition.

Sedeco, Tanzania

andBeyond Klein's Camp

andBeyond Klein's Camp sits at the quieter, more intimate end of Serengeti safari accommodation, with just ten rooms positioned to maximize proximity to the plains without sacrificing architectural thoughtfulness. The camp belongs to andBeyond's East Africa portfolio, which spans from the crater rim at andBeyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge to the river systems further west. For travelers weighing scale against seclusion, ten rooms defines a deliberate editorial choice.

Magara, Tanzania

andBeyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

andBeyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge sits among the mahogany trees of Lake Manyara National Park with just nine rooms built entirely on platforms above the forest floor. This small-scale property places guests inside the canopy rather than beside it, making proximity to the park's tree-climbing lions and flamingo-lined shoreline the central experience. Advance planning is strongly advised given the limited inventory.

Okavango Delta, Botswana

andBeyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp

A nine-tent camp on the private Pom Pom Concession (NG 27A) in the Okavango Delta, andBeyond Nxabega operates within one of Botswana's most carefully managed wildlife areas. The small-footprint format keeps guest numbers low relative to the surrounding wilderness, and the camp's placement inside a dedicated concession means game drives run without the interference of competing vehicles.

Hluhluwe, South Africa

andBeyond Phinda Forest Lodge

andBeyond Phinda Forest Lodge sits inside one of KwaZulu-Natal's most biodiverse private reserves, where 16 rooms are distributed through a rare sand forest habitat that defines the property's spatial logic and visual character.

Hluhluwe, South Africa

andBeyond Phinda Homestead

andBeyond Phinda Homestead is a four-room private-use property set within Phinda Private Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Configured for exclusive buyout, it sits in one intimate tier of the andBeyond portfolio at Phinda, where a single group commands the entire lodge, its staff, and its safari programme. For travellers comparing the reserve's lodges, Homestead represents the ceiling of privacy.

Hluhluwe, South Africa

andBeyond Phinda Mountain Lodge

andBeyond Phinda Mountain Lodge sits within Phinda Private Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, where the terrain shifts between sand forest, wetland, and open savannah across a single reserve. The lodge operates 23 rooms at a scale that keeps the guest-to-staff ratio low and the service register personal. For travellers weighing KwaZulu-Natal's private reserve options, Phinda Mountain Lodge represents the andBeyond group's mid-size lodge format within one of South Africa's most ecologically layered reserves.

Hluhluwe, South Africa

andBeyond Phinda Rock Lodge

At six rooms, andBeyond Phinda Rock Lodge is among the more intimate configurations within Phinda Private Game Reserve, positioning it in a different tier from larger-capacity safari properties in KwaZulu-Natal. The address places guests on the reserve's rocky terrain, with direct access to Phinda's seven distinct habitats and the wildlife corridors that connect them. Comparable in operator pedigree to andBeyond's other Phinda camps, Rock Lodge trades scale for seclusion.

Hluhluwe, South Africa

andBeyond Phinda Zuka Lodge

andBeyond Phinda Zuka Lodge is a four-room intimate safari property set within the celebrated Phinda Private Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal. At this scale, the lodge operates closer to a private house than a conventional safari camp, placing it in a small-capacity tier that prioritises exclusivity over breadth. For travellers weighing options across the Phinda portfolio, Zuka represents the reserve's most private footprint.

Punakha, Bhutan

andBeyond Punakha River Lodge

A nine-room tented lodge on the banks of the Mo Chhu river, andBeyond Punakha River Lodge sits within one of Bhutan's most historically significant valleys. The intimate scale places it in a different category from larger Bhutan properties, with the surrounding monastery landscape and river as the dominant architectural reference points rather than the lodge itself.

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

andBeyond Serengeti Under Canvas

andBeyond Serengeti Under Canvas operates at the mobile-camp end of the Serengeti's luxury spectrum, with just 9 rooms positioned to follow the migration rather than anchor to a fixed lodge address. The format trades permanence for proximity, placing guests inside the ecosystem rather than at its edge. For travellers who prioritise wildlife access over resort infrastructure, the scale and positioning make it a considered choice within the andBeyond Tanzania portfolio.

Skukuza, South Africa

andBeyond Tengile River Lodge

andBeyond Tengile River Lodge occupies a privileged position within the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, one of the few unfenced reserves sharing a boundary with Kruger National Park. At 23 rooms, it sits in the smaller-footprint tier of Sabi Sand properties, where low guest counts translate directly into access, pace, and the texture of time spent in the bush.

Okavango Delta, Botswana

andBeyond Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp

andBeyond Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp occupies a nine-room footprint inside one of Botswana's most water-rich wildlife concessions, where seasonal flooding shapes both the terrain and the daily rhythm of camp life. Access is by light aircraft, and the small capacity keeps the experience at a scale where guided activities and communal dining remain genuinely personal rather than operationally managed.

St. Moritz, Switzerland

art boutique Hotel Monopol

At Via Maistra 17, art boutique Hotel Monopol occupies a quieter register in St. Moritz's hotel hierarchy — 66 rooms configured around an art-forward identity rather than grand-hotel scale. For travellers who find the palatial properties along the lake too performative, Monopol offers a more contained base from which to engage the Engadine at a pace that suits serious rest and recovery.

Barcelona, Spain

Tembo Barcelona

A 280-room hotel on Carrer de Ramon Llull in the Sant Martí district, Tembo Barcelona sits at a scale that places it in Barcelona's mid-to-large urban hotel tier. Its address positions guests within reach of the city's coastal edge and the 22@ innovation district, making it a practical base for both leisure and extended-stay itineraries.

Bandol, France

Thalazur Bandol Île Rousse

Three times awarded across Luxury Seaside, Luxury Scenic View, and Luxury Beachfront categories, Thalazur Île Rousse occupies one of the more architecturally deliberate positions on the Bandol waterfront. The property reads as a thalassotherapy destination first, a hotel second — a distinction that shapes everything from room orientation to the rhythm of a stay here.

Bay Harbor Islands, United States

The Altair Hotel Bay Harbor Miami

The Altair Hotel sits on the quieter western shore of Bay Harbor Islands, a two-island enclave between Miami Beach and Bal Harbour that trades in understatement rather than spectacle. With 96 rooms, it operates at a scale that prioritises ease of movement over resort-style programming. For travellers who want proximity to Bal Harbour Shops and the broader Miami Beach dining circuit without the noise of Collins Avenue, Bay Harbor Islands functions as a practical and considered base.

Taipei, Taiwan

The Archipelago

Positioned in Taipei's Xinyi District at No. 18 Songgao Road, The Archipelago operates at 285 rooms — a scale that places it in the full-service tier alongside the district's established international hotels. For travellers benchmarking Xinyi options against the Grand Hyatt or Eslite, The Archipelago represents a mid-to-large footprint with proximity to Taipei 101 and the district's concentrated dining and retail infrastructure.

London, United Kingdom

The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences

Positioned on Piccadilly at the edge of Green Park, The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences occupies one of London's most considered addresses for extended stays and short breaks alike. A 94-point score in the 2026 La Liste Top Hotels ranking places it among a narrow tier of London properties where service consistency and location combine with residential-scale discretion. The result is a property that reads less like a grand hotel and more like a well-run private house with serious infrastructure.

Aurora, United States

The Benson Hotel & Faculty Club

The Benson Hotel & Faculty Club occupies a distinct position on Aurora's Anschutz Medical Campus, operating as a 106-room property that serves the intersection of academic medicine and institutional hospitality. Its address at 13025 E Montview Blvd places it within one of the largest medical research campuses in the American West, making it a reference point for visitors navigating that environment.

Columbus, United States

The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center

The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center sits directly on the Ohio State University campus at 2110 Tuttle Park Pl, offering 151 rooms in a setting where academic architecture meets full-service hospitality. It occupies a specific niche in Columbus: a campus-anchored property designed to serve conference and leisure guests within walking distance of the university's central facilities.

London, United Kingdom

The Bloomsbury

Set in a grand neo-Georgian building on Great Russell Street, The Bloomsbury occupies one of London's most architecturally considered addresses, steps from the British Museum. The hotel holds a Star Wine List recognition for 2026, placing its wine program among the city's more seriously curated offerings. For travellers who want literary-district character alongside genuine cellar depth, it represents a distinct alternative to Mayfair's more familiar luxury corridor.

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

The Blue Sky Hotel & Tower

The Blue Sky Hotel and Tower occupies one of Ulaanbaatar's most prominent addresses on Peace Avenue, putting guests at the centre of the city's commercial and cultural activity. With 200 rooms across its tower footprint, it operates at a scale that positions it among the larger full-service options in a market where mid-size boutique properties are increasingly common. For travellers whose itinerary is city-focused, the address does considerable work.

Mussoorie, India

The Claridges Nabha Residence Mussoorie

At Barlow Ganj, one of Mussoorie's quieter colonial-era addresses, The Claridges Nabha Residence operates at 22 rooms — a scale that keeps it firmly in the intimate heritage property tier rather than the resort category. The Claridges name carries institutional weight across North Indian hospitality, and this Mussoorie outpost extends that lineage into the hills with an architecture that mirrors the hill station's Raj-era residential character.

Boston, United States

The Colonnade Hotel Boston

Positioned on Huntington Avenue in Boston's Back Bay, The Colonnade Hotel offers 285 rooms within close reach of Copley Square, the Prudential Center, and the city's strongest concentration of restaurants and concert venues. It occupies a mid-scale niche in the Back Bay hotel market, appealing to travellers who want neighbourhood walkability without the formality of Boston's flagship luxury properties.

Lisbon, Portugal

The Editory Riverside Santa Apolónia Hotel

Positioned along the Tagus riverfront at Av. Infante Dom Henrique 1, The Editory Riverside Hotel occupies one of Lisbon's most historically charged waterfronts with 126 rooms oriented toward the river. Among design-conscious riverside properties, it sits in a tier defined by location density and architectural character rather than chain-scale amenities.

Boston, United States

The Eliot Hotel

A 95-room independent hotel on Commonwealth Avenue, The Eliot sits in Boston's Back Bay at a remove from the chain-managed competition along Boylston. Its scale positions it firmly in the boutique tier: small enough to register repeat guests, large enough to operate with full-service consistency. For travellers who prize neighbourhood immersion over lobby spectacle, it functions as a reliable base in one of the city's most residential corridors.

Miami, United States

The Elser Hotel and Residences Miami

A large-format residential-style hotel in Miami's Park West neighborhood, The Elser Hotel and Residences Miami offers 646 rooms positioned for guests who want extended-stay flexibility within reach of downtown and the Design District. Its scale places it in a different tier from Miami Beach's boutique offerings, making it a practical downtown anchor for longer visits.

Istanbul, Turkey

The Galata Istanbul Hotel – MGallery

On Bankalar Caddesi in Beyoğlu, The Galata Istanbul Hotel – MGallery occupies one of the financial district's most architecturally significant addresses. A double winner at the World Luxury Hotel Awards — Country Winner for Luxury Historical Hotel and Continent Winner for Luxury Destination Hotel — it positions itself in the tier of Istanbul properties where history and hospitality credentials carry equal weight.

Memphis, United States

The Guest House at Graceland

The Guest House at Graceland brings 450 rooms to Elvis Presley Boulevard, positioning itself as the only hotel directly tied to the Graceland estate in Memphis. It operates in a category of its own among Memphis hotels: equal parts music heritage destination and full-service resort, with dining, entertainment, and event programming built around the world's most visited private home.

Auburn, United States

The Hotel at Auburn University & Dixon Conference Center

Positioned at the heart of Auburn University's campus on South College Street, The Hotel at Auburn University and Dixon Conference Center occupies a rare category: full-service hotel tied directly to one of the American South's flagship public universities. With 236 rooms and conference infrastructure built into its footprint, it functions as the anchor property for Auburn's limited upscale accommodation market.

Cedar Rapids, United States

The Hotel at Kirkwood Center

The Hotel at Kirkwood Center occupies a distinct position in Cedar Rapids — a 71-room property tied to Kirkwood Community College's hospitality training programme, where the dining and service operation runs as a working educational environment. That context shapes everything from the front desk to the restaurant, making it one of the more unusual hotel formats in the Midwest.

Fort Bragg, United States

The Inn at Newport Ranch

On a working 2,000-acre ranch above the Mendocino Coast, The Inn at Newport Ranch places guests inside a landscape defined by old-growth timber, Pacific bluffs, and private trails that most California coastal properties can only gesture toward. Recognised by La Liste's 2026 Top Hotels ranking with a score of 90.5 points, it occupies a narrow tier of American ranch-stay properties where the land itself sets the program.

Bangkok, Thailand

The Landmark Bangkok

A full-service city hotel on Sukhumvit Road, The Landmark Bangkok offers 399 rooms in one of Bangkok's most connected midtown corridors. Its scale positions it between the boutique design properties along the river and the international chain flagships of the Ratchaprasong district, making it a practical base for business travellers and those who prefer proximity to Nana BTS over waterfront theatre.

Roanoke, United States

The Liberty Trust

A converted 1910 bank building in downtown Roanoke, The Liberty Trust houses 54 rooms across preserved neoclassical architecture — marble, original vaulting, and period ironwork intact. The property sits at the centre of Roanoke's growing independent hotel scene, making it a credible base for travellers who want design character without retreating to a suburban chain property.

Verbier, Switzerland

The Lodge

A nine-room private chalet hotel on Chemin de Plénadzeu in Verbier, The Lodge sits at the intimate end of the Swiss Alpine accommodation spectrum — where staff-to-guest ratios tilt sharply in the guest's favour and the experience is calibrated around a small, consistent roster of residents rather than a revolving hotel population. For travellers who find larger Alpine resorts impersonal, this scale changes the dynamic considerably.

London, United Kingdom

The Mandeville Hotel

A Marylebone address with 142 rooms, The Mandeville Hotel sits a short walk from Bond Street in a neighbourhood that has shifted decisively upmarket over the past two decades. Compared with the grand institution hotels of Mayfair, it occupies a more independent, residential tier — closer in character to a well-appointed townhouse than a flagship property.

New York City, United States

The Michelangelo New York - Starhotels Collezione

The Michelangelo New York, part of Starhotels Collezione, occupies a Midtown address at 152 West 51st Street within walking distance of Carnegie Hall and the Theater District.

New York City, United States

The New York EDITION

Kolkata, India

The Oberoi Grand, Kolkata

Awarded 98.5 points by La Liste's Top Hotels 2026 rankings, it operates at the upper tier of India's grand colonial-era properties, where the physical fabric of the building is as much the product as the rooms themselves.

London, Canada

The Park Hotel London

With 126 rooms, it sits in the mid-scale tier of the London, Ontario hotel market, offering a practical base for business and leisure travellers exploring the city's downtown corridor.

Victoria, Canada

The Parkside Hotel & Spa

New York City, United States

The Prince Kitano New York

The Prince Kitano New York occupies a composed corner at Park Avenue and East 38th Street in Murray Hill, offering 149 rooms with a Japanese-owned and operated character that separates it from the standard Midtown hotel tier. Against a New York market dominated by major international chains and design-led independents, it holds a quieter position — purposeful and unhurried in a neighbourhood that rewards exactly that quality.

Mumbai, India

The Resort Mumbai

Positioned on Aksa Beach in Malad West, The Resort Mumbai occupies one of the city's few genuinely coastal addresses, with 95 rooms set against the Arabian Sea.

Tokyo, Japan

The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Tokyo Shiodome

At 490 rooms, The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Tokyo Shiodome occupies a distinct position in the Shiodome district — large enough to serve corporate and leisure travel at scale, yet positioned within a neighbourhood defined by refined transit connectivity and proximity to Ginza, Tsukiji, and the Hamarikyu Gardens.

Shenzhen, China

The St. Regis Shenzhen Bao'an

The St. Regis Shenzhen Bao'an opened in February 2025, bringing the brand's House of Astor heritage to the western side of the city, where Bao'an District's rapid commercial development has created fresh demand for flag-level hospitality. The property holds a Star Wine List recognition for 2026, signalling a wine program that positions it above standard business hotels in the corridor.

Cincinnati, United States

The Summit Hotel

The Summit Hotel occupies a deliberate address in Cincinnati's Madisonville corridor, operating 239 rooms from its base at 5345 Medpace Way.

Belmonte, Portugal

TheVagar

TheVagar sits on Serra da Esperança above the medieval town of Belmonte, holding dual recognition as both a Regional Luxury Scenic View Hotel winner and Portugal's Country Winner for Luxury Design Boutique Hotel. The property positions itself within a small cohort of design-led rural retreats where the physical setting and architectural intent carry as much weight as the service. For travellers routing through the Beira Interior, it represents among the more awarded addresses in the region.

Manyeleti Game Reserve, South Africa

Tintswalo Safari

Set along the seasonal Nwaswitsontso River in the low-density Manyeleti Nature Reserve, Tintswalo Safari Lodge positions itself in the quieter, more private tier of Greater Kruger accommodation. Eight explorer-themed suites, a five-bedroom Manor House, and an unfenced boundary with Kruger National Park place it inside a competitive set defined by space, stillness, and direct Big 5 access. Recognised by La Liste's Top Hotels 2026 with a score of 90 points.

Trastevere Roma UNA Esperienze

Positioned on a quiet street in Rome's Trastevere district, Trastevere Roma UNA Esperienze offers 94 rooms with direct access to one of the city's most textured residential neighbourhoods.
