A Michelin Selected hotel occupying a colonial-era building on Calle Allende in Guanajuato's historic centro, Hotel Edelmira sits inside one of Mexico's most architecturally dense UNESCO World Heritage cities.

Spiez, Switzerland
A Michelin Selected property on the shores of Lake Thun, Hotel Eden Spiez occupies a position that few Swiss lakeside hotels can match: close enough to Interlaken to serve as a quieter alternative, yet grounded in its own town with direct water access and mountain views across to the Bernese Oberland peaks. The selection by Michelin's hotel guide for 2025 places it within a recognised tier of Swiss hospitality worth serious attention.
Los Cabos, Mexico
Hotel El Ganzo occupies a quieter corner of San José del Cabo's marina district, where the property has built a reputation as a creative hub alongside its hotel operations. The rooftop pool and underground recording studio have become reference points for a certain kind of returning guest — one who comes for the art programming and the Baja light as much as the accommodations themselves.
Jujuy, Argentina
Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, Hotel El Manantial del Silencio sits along Ruta Nacional 52 at the edge of Jujuy's high-altitude quebrada country. The property belongs to a tier of Argentine retreats defined by landscape immersion and deliberate restraint rather than resort scale. For travellers routing through northwestern Argentina, it represents one of the more considered lodging options in the region.
Medellín, Colombia
In the heart of Provenza, Medellín’s hippest neighborhood, Hotel El Zarzo makes a striking first impression. Lush greenery spills luxuriantly from its high-arching windows, creating the illusion that the brick facade is a towering vertical garden, fitting for a futuristic boutique hotel where minimizing environmental impact is as essential as the modern interior design. Sleek guest rooms with native wood paneling and slate-tiled bathrooms are divided into three categories, all named after classic cocktails available at the gorgeous rooftop bar, and feature king-sized beds, espresso machines, and Marshall speakers. Polished Caribbean-inspired dishes are served at the hotel’s stylish restaurant, and the sixth-floor terrace doubles as an open-air breakfast venue.
Weimar, Germany
On Weimar's central market square, Hotel Elephant Weimar has hosted writers, composers, and heads of state for over three centuries.

Austin, United States
Hotel Ella occupies a restored 1900s mansion on Rio Grande Street, positioning itself within Austin's quieter, residential upper campus corridor rather than the denser downtown hotel cluster.

Lanzarote, Spain
A Michelin Selected house hotel in Haría, Lanzarote's quietest village, La Casa de los Naranjos occupies a restored Canarian manor whose volcanic-stone architecture and courtyard of orange trees set it apart from the island's resort corridor. The property sits inside a category of design-led, low-key Canarian accommodation that prizes architectural fidelity over amenity volume.
Chicago, United States
A Michelin Selected hotel on Chicago's Streeterville strip, Hotel EMC2 draws its identity from the intersection of art and science — a concept that runs through its design, programming, and position in the city's Magnificent Mile-adjacent accommodation tier. For travelers who want proximity to the lakefront and Loop without defaulting to a legacy grand hotel, it occupies a specific and deliberate niche.
Los Angeles, United States
Hotel Erwin Venice Beach holds a MICHELIN Selected designation for 2025, placing it in a compact tier of Los Angeles coastal stays that earn editorial recognition without chasing resort scale. Positioned directly on Pacific Avenue a block from the boardwalk, the property trades on proximity to Venice's street-level energy and a rooftop that draws both guests and locals to the same vantage point.
Puerto Escondido, Mexico
Individual palapa bungalows with private plunge pools define the rhythm at Hotel Escondido, a property pitched at the quieter, village-scale end of Puerto Escondido's accommodation spectrum. Positioned along the Oaxacan coast at Km. 113 of the federal highway, it draws guests who want proximity to the Pacific without the noise of the town's busier surf zones. The format rewards those who treat stillness as an amenity.
Oaxaca, Mexico
Hotel Escondido Oaxaca occupies a colonial address on José María Morelos 401, where Old World architecture meets a considered modern sensibility shaped by Oaxacan craft traditions. Among Oaxaca's design-led boutique properties, it sits in a distinct tier: smaller in scale than the grand convention hotels but richer in local material and spatial character. Travellers who prioritise neighbourhood access and artisan context over resort amenities will find it a coherent choice.
Venice, Italy
The Lido's defining address since 1908, Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido Resort occupies a Moorish-inspired palazzo on Venice's only beachfront stretch.

Helsinki, Finland
Selected by the Michelin Guide 2025, Hotel Fabian occupies a well-positioned address on Fabianinkatu in Helsinki's city centre, placing guests within walking distance of the harbour, the Design District, and Senate Square.

Sylt, Germany
Hotel Fährhaus Munkmarsch occupies one of Sylt's most historically resonant positions, where the old ferry landing at Munkmarsch once served as the island's primary gateway from the mainland. Selected for the Michelin Hotels guide 2025, it represents the quieter, more character-driven end of Sylt's accommodation range, positioned away from the Westerland crowds on the sheltered Wadden Sea side of the island.

Santa Teresa, Costa Rica
A 35-key boutique property steps from La Lora beach in Santa Teresa, Hotel Fermata occupies a considered space between family-friendly functionality and design-led calm.

Nieuwersluis, Netherlands
A Michelin Selected hotel on the Vecht river in Nieuwersluis, Hotel Flora Batava sits within a quietly distinguished tradition of Dutch countryside hospitality.

It earns its Michelin recognition in a region where that credential separates a small cluster of properties from the broader rural accommodation market.
Gothenburg, Sweden
Hotel Flora Göteborg holds a Michelin Selected distinction in 2025, placing it within a small tier of Gothenburg hotels that earn recognition for quality beyond basic comfort.

Paris, France
On boulevard Malesherbes in the 8th arrondissement, Hotel Florida Paris occupies a quieter register than the grand-palace circuit nearby, while earning Michelin Selected recognition in 2025.

Oberstdorf, Germany
A Michelin Selected property in Germany's southernmost resort town, Hotel Franks sits at Sachsenweg 11 in Oberstdorf, where the Allgäu Alps define both the horizon and the hospitality register.

Boonville, United States
Hotel Frederick is a boutique property in Boonville, California, recognized by the 2025 World Travel Awards as Missouri's Leading Boutique Hotel — an attribution that points to a broader cross-regional identity for a building with clear architectural ambitions.

One of Leipzig's most enduring grand hotels, the Fürstenhof sits at the edge of the Rosental park on Tröndlinring, its late-Wilhelmine facade marking the transition between the city's mercantile ring road and its historic core.

A measured choice for travellers who want proximity to the Arlberg ski area without the noise of the main strip.
Dinkelsbühl, Germany
On Dinkelsbühl's Marktplatz, Hotel Goldene Rose occupies a half-timbered building at the centre of one of Bavaria's most intact medieval towns. Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, it places travellers within walking distance of the Altstadt's preserved Gothic streetscape. For those treating the Romantic Road as a serious itinerary rather than a drive-through, this is the address that earns its position on the square.
Lech am Arlberg, Austria
Hotel Goldener Berg occupies the car-free upper village of Oberlech, positioned among Lech am Arlberg's Michelin Selected properties for 2025. The address sits at altitude above the main resort, with direct piste access and a dining programme that reflects the Austrian alpine hotel tradition at its more serious end. A considered choice for skiers and off-season mountain visitors who want proximity to the Arlberg's terrain without sacrificing table quality.
Obergurgl, Austria
Michelin Selected for 2025, Hotel Gotthard - Zeit sits at the summit of the Ötztal in Obergurgl, one of Austria's most snow-reliable high-altitude ski villages. The name, Zeit, meaning time, signals a deliberate approach to the alpine environment that goes beyond seasonal convenience. For travellers who prioritise snow certainty, village scale, and a credentialled property over resort spectacle, it occupies a clear position in Obergurgl's quality tier.
Jakarta, Indonesia
Hotel Gran Mahakam holds a rare triple-tier award position in Jakarta's competitive luxury accommodation market, recognised as a Global Winner for Luxury City Hotel, Country Winner for Luxury Business Hotel, and Continent Winner for Luxury Boutique Hotel. Located in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, it represents the smaller-scale, service-intensive end of the city's premium hotel spectrum — an alternative to the large-footprint international chains that dominate the CBD.
Atlanta, United States
Hotel Granada occupies a Spanish Colonial building on West Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta, a deliberate architectural counterpoint to the glass towers that define the surrounding neighbourhood. The property sits at a remove from Atlanta's larger hotel chains, positioning itself as a small, historically rooted alternative in one of the city's most active corridors. For travellers who read architecture as context, the address alone signals a different kind of stay.
Selva di Val Gardena, Italy
A Michelin Selected property in the heart of Selva di Val Gardena, Hotel Granbaita Dolomites sits at the intersection of Alpine tradition and attentive mountain hospitality. The Dolomites form the immediate backdrop, and the hotel's service orientation places it within a small cohort of family-run addresses in the Val Gardena valley that compete on personal attention rather than scale.
Portland, United States
A MICHELIN Selected hotel on SE Grand Avenue, Hotel Grand Stark positions itself in Portland's independent lodging tier — away from the downtown corporate corridor and closer to the neighbourhoods where the city's more interesting food and bar scene plays out. The Southeast side address is a deliberate choice, and the hotel's recognition signals it delivers on that positioning.
Bolzano, Italy
On Bolzano's central Piazza Walther, Hotel Greif occupies a position that few properties in the South Tyrol region can match: a family-owned address where the architecture reads as a curated sequence of contemporary art commissions layered over a centuries-old building fabric. The result is a hotel that functions as both a serious design statement and a genuine base for exploring the Dolomites.
Zürich, Switzerland
Hotel Greulich occupies a converted residential building on Herman-Greulich-Strasse in Zurich's District 4, a neighbourhood better known for its independent restaurants and late-night bars than for hotel infrastructure. The property sits in a quieter category than the lakefront giants: smaller in scale, closer to the city's working residential fabric, and positioned for travellers who want proximity to the centre without the ceremony of a grand-hotel address.
Kraków, Poland
A Michelin Selected property on Pijarska Street, Hotel H15 Francuski Old Town occupies one of Kraków's most architecturally storied addresses, placing guests at the edge of the Royal Route with the Planty gardens directly outside. The building's heritage fabric sits alongside considered interior design, positioning it firmly within the Old Town's upper tier of character-led accommodation.

Opened in 2023 on nearly 500 acres of rolling South Carolina pasture, Hotel Hartness arrives as Greenville earns its first appearance on Travel + Leisure's list of best U.S. cities. The family-owned property pairs expansive suites with Spa H, a treatment facility set against views of a scenic pond, making it a credible base for exploring one of the Southeast's most quietly ascendant mid-sized cities.
San Antonio, United States
Hotel Havana occupies a century-old building at 1015 Navarro St, threading a line between San Antonio's Spanish Colonial past and a design sensibility that draws as much from Havana as from Texas. The property sits within walking distance of the River Walk, placing it at the centre of the city's most concentrated stretch of dining, culture, and nightlife. It is one of the few downtown addresses that reads as a genuine neighbourhood character rather than a transit hotel.
Tampa, United States
Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, Hotel Haya occupies a restored building on Tampa's Ybor City corridor at 1412 East 7th Avenue, where Cuban and Spanish architectural vernacular meets a design sensibility that reads as contemporary without erasing its surroundings. For travelers who want a hotel that places them inside a neighbourhood rather than above it, Haya is the Tampa property that earns that distinction with credentials to back it up.
Healdsburg, United States
On Matheson Street at the edge of Healdsburg Plaza, Hotel Healdsburg positions guests within walking distance of the square's restaurants and tasting rooms while placing three of northern Sonoma's most significant wine regions within a short drive. The hotel's on-site restaurant is among the stronger dining options in town, making it a logical base for wine country travel that doesn't require a car for every meal.
Bruges, Belgium
Hotel Heritage occupies a 19th-century mansion in Bruges's medieval district, where rooms from US$259 per night sit above a 14th-century wine cellar that anchors the property's sense of historical layering.

The hotel occupies a historic Vorarlberg building and positions itself within Austria's small tier of rural properties that compete on craft, setting, and culinary seriousness rather than scale.
Lisbon, Portugal
Hotel Hotel on Travessa da Glória positions itself against Lisbon's polished international properties by doing the opposite: placing creative locals at the center of the guest experience. Less a retreat from the city than a structured entry point into it, this Príncipe Real-adjacent address has built a reputation as a social hub where the neighbourhood's artists, designers, and independent operators set the tone.
Valdaora, Italy
A Michelin Selected property in the Dolomite village of Valdaora, Hotel Hubertus positions itself at the serious end of South Tyrolean mountain hospitality, where the dining programme and alpine wellness offer carry as much weight as the setting. The hotel holds current recognition in the Michelin Hotels & Stays 2025 guide, placing it in a selective peer group across northern Italy's mountain corridor.
Kežmarok, Slovakia
Named Slovakia's Leading Boutique Hotel at the 2025 World Travel Awards, Hotel Hviezdoslav occupies a historic address on Kežmarok's main square. The property sits in a town that has long operated as a gateway to the High Tatras, offering travellers a grounded, architecturally rooted alternative to the mountain resort circuit.

Istanbul, Turkey
A MICHELIN Selected hotel on Terzihane Street in Sultanahmet, Hotel Ibrahim Pasha occupies one of Istanbul's most historically dense neighbourhoods, steps from the Hippodrome.

Phuket, Thailand
Hotel IKON Phuket sits on Patak Road in Karon, carrying a 2025 Michelin Selected distinction that places it in a recognized tier of Phuket accommodation.

A double award-winner along Seminyak's beach strip, Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach holds both Regional Luxury Villa Resort and Country Luxury Beachfront Resort honours.

For Bali's beachfront tier, the credentials place it near the front of that conversation.
Bandung, Indonesia
Set in the forested hills above Bandung at Dago Pakar, Hotel Indigo's West Java outpost has earned global recognition for its interior design, taking a Regional Winner award for Luxury Design Hotel and a Global Winner title for Best Interior Design.

Belgrade, Serbia
Hotel Indigo Belgrade occupies a position in the Serbian capital's upper-mid hotel tier that few properties in this city have historically managed to hold: design-conscious, internationally credentialed, and rooted in the pedestrian heart of the old city. A MICHELIN Selected property for 2025, it sits on Čika Ljubina Street within walking distance of Knez Mihailova, Belgrade's principal promenade.
Cardiff, United Kingdom
Hotel Indigo Cardiff occupies Dominions Arcade, a Victorian commercial structure on Queen Street, and holds MICHELIN Selected status for 2025.

Chester, United Kingdom
Selected in the Michelin Hotels guide 2025, Hotel Indigo Chester occupies a position on Grosvenor Park Road where Roman city walls and Victorian architecture set the visual register for the stay. The brand's design-led approach translates the host city's layered history into a physical environment, placing it within Chester's small tier of hotels where aesthetic identity does real work alongside location.
Shangri-La, China
Michelin Selected for 2025, Hotel Indigo Diqing Moonlight City sits in Shangrila's Jinlong Community, where Tibetan architectural language meets the IHG brand's neighborhood-story design approach. For travellers crossing into Yunnan's high plateau from Lijiang or Lhasa, it occupies a specific tier: internationally recognized, locally rooted, and positioned above the area's standard transit hotels without reaching the full-service lodge prices of remote Songtsam properties.
Dundee, United Kingdom
Hotel Indigo Dundee occupies a converted Victorian mill on Lower Dens Mill, bringing the Michelin Selected property into a city mid-transformation. The adaptive reuse of industrial architecture places it in a distinct tier among Dundee's accommodation options, where design-led conversion work carries more editorial weight than standard hotel builds.
Durham, United Kingdom
The city of Durham is known above all for its picturesque historical attractions: the university, the castle, and the spectacular Norman-era Romanesque cathedral. In this environment, a rakishly modernist luxury boutique hotel might be accused of a certain insensitivity to its surroundings. Fortunately the Hotel Indigo Durham, though a luxury boutique hotel it is, commits no such faux pas: it’s set not in a decommissioned red-brick Victorian-era university building that goes by the impossibly charming name of Old Shire Hall. The rooms and suites are unmistakably modern in their design sense, but are full of historical references, whether in the décor, the artwork, the textiles, or even the architecture, some of them preserve the quirks of the hall’s original floor plan. And something like a freestanding copper bathtub can be historical and contemporary at the same time, especially when it’s displayed against the backdrop of a vast modern bathroom. Tempting enough, but it’s the restaurant that might just seal the deal. Hotel Indigo Durham features not just an ordinary hotel restaurant, but the Marco Pierre White Steahouse & Bar, serving upscale English and French fare in a dramatic dining room under the rotunda of the old Durham Council senate chamber.
Hakonemachi, Ashigarashimo Gun, Japan
A Michelin Selected property in Gora, Hakone's refined inland district, Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora positions the international brand's neighbourhood-story design philosophy within one of Japan's most storied onsen resort traditions.

Hangzhou, China
A Michelin Selected hotel on North Shui Cheng Road, Hotel Indigo Hangzhou Uptown translates the IHG brand's neighbourhood-story design concept into a city known more for classical lakeside retreats than urban design statements. The selection places it in a recognisable tier of internationally endorsed mid-to-upper properties that prioritise design coherence over resort scale.
Helsinki, Finland
A Michelin Selected hotel on Helsinki's Bulevardi, Hotel Indigo Helsinki - Boulevard occupies a stretch of the city where 19th-century architecture and a concentrated dining and design scene coexist. The property sits inside the IHG lifestyle portfolio, with neighbourhood-referencing design that connects it to the surrounding Punavuori and Ullanlinna quarters. It reads as a mid-tier lifestyle choice for travellers who want address over amenity scale.
Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong
On Queen's Road East in Wan Chai, Hotel Indigo Hong Kong Island earns a place on the 2025 Michelin Selected Hotels list — a distinction that positions it within a small tier of independently recognised properties on the island. The hotel draws on its neighbourhood's layered character, sitting within one of Hong Kong's most historically textured corridors, between the financial core and the quieter residential streets that climb toward Happy Valley.
Inuyama, Japan
A Michelin Selected hotel in Inuyama's castle district, Hotel Indigo Inuyama Urakuen Garden sits beside one of Japan's most intact feudal gardens and draws on its setting for a design identity that international-brand hotels in larger cities rarely attempt. For travellers treating the Nagoya region as a serious destination rather than a day-trip corridor, this is a considered base with genuine local weight.
Kaohsiung, Taiwan
Winner of the Country Winner — Luxury Boutique Hotel award, Hotel Indigo Kaohsiung Central Park sits directly opposite the city's green centrepiece in the Xinxing District. The property belongs to a growing tier of design-forward urban hotels in southern Taiwan that trade scale for specificity, anchoring guests in Kaohsiung's distinct harbour-city identity rather than offering a generic business-hotel formula.
Karuizawamachi, Kitasaku Gun, Japan
Hotel Indigo Karuizawa holds a MICHELIN Selected distinction for 2025, placing it within the curated tier of Japan's resort hotel circuit. Set in Karuizawa's highland retreat zone northwest of Tokyo, the property brings the IHG-backed Indigo brand into one of Japan's most storied weekend escape destinations, where forest setting and food programme carry more weight than room count.
Kraków, Poland
Hotel Indigo Kraków sits at Filipa 18 in the city's Stare Miasto district, carrying a 2025 Michelin Selected distinction that places it in a defined tier of design-led stays in the Polish market. The brand's neighbourhood-story format makes it a coherent choice for travellers who want a sense of place built into the room itself, rather than generic chain comfort layered over a historic address.
Larnaca, Cyprus
Hotel Indigo Larnaca holds a MICHELIN Selected distinction for 2025, placing it within a short list of Cyprus hotels recognised by the Guide's hotel programme. Positioned on Adonidos Street in the centre of Larnaca, the property connects guests to the city's seafront promenade and historic Finikoudes district within walking distance. For travellers who want design-conscious accommodation close to the salt lake and Hala Sultan Tekke, it represents a considered urban base.
Lijiang, China
Named Yunnan's Leading Boutique Hotel at the 2025 World Travel Awards, Hotel Indigo Lijiang Ancient Town occupies the Gucheng District, where cobblestone lanes and Naxi architecture set the scene. The property sits within the UNESCO-listed old town, placing guests inside one of Yunnan's most historically layered urban environments rather than at its edge.
Nagasaki, Japan
A Michelin Selected property on Nagasaki's storied Glover Street, Hotel Indigo occupies one of the city's most historically layered addresses. The IHG-branded hotel connects guests to the Meiji-era Western trading district while positioning itself within Nagasaki's small but growing tier of internationally recognised accommodation. A practical base for the Higashi-Yamate hillside and its portfolio of Dutch Slopes, churches, and harbour views.
Nanjing, China
A Michelin Selected hotel positioned within Nanjing's Garden Expo landscape, Hotel Indigo Nanjing Garden Expo translates the IHG brand's neighbourhood-storytelling design language into a setting shaped by parkland, water, and the thermal heritage of Tangshan. For travellers seeking design-conscious accommodation outside the city's central hotel corridor, it occupies a distinct position in Nanjing's accommodation tier.
Rome, Italy
On Via Giulia, one of Rome's most architecturally coherent Renaissance streets, Hotel Indigo Rome - St. George by IHG occupies a position that few addresses in the centro storico can match for historical layering. The property sits within the IHG portfolio's design-led Indigo brand, which favours neighbourhood character over standardised luxury. For travellers anchoring in the historic core, the address alone frames the stay.
