Tbilisi, Georgia
It says something about the Georgian capital that the St. Petersburg–based Ginza Project chose Tbilisi as the setting for its first lodging outside of Russia. Khedi Hotel is located in the riverside district of Avlabari, close to the Holy Trinity Cathedral and other local landmarks. And the hotel is something of a monument unto itself, at least for devotees of luxury boutique hospitality; its two buildings are divided into 57 rooms and suites in two styles, one a colorful modern re-interpretation of Georgian tradition, and the other a more spare, more subdued, more contemporary look. And though the Ginza Project’s first expertise is in serviced apartments, this is a proper hotel, complete with a restaurant helmed by a highly regarded local chef.

Kimpton Atlântico Algarve sits on the Albufeira coastline as a Continent Winner in the Luxury Lifestyle Hotel category, placing it among a small tier of Algarve properties where address and setting do significant editorial work.

Miami, United States
A Michelin Selected hotel on Alton Road, Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach positions itself on the quieter, residential western edge of Miami Beach rather than the high-traffic Ocean Drive corridor.

Positioned on SW Broadway at the center of Portland's downtown grid, Kimpton Hotel Vintage Portland sits closer to Powell's Books, the Pearl District, and the city's restaurant corridor than most of its competitive set.

A considered choice for travellers who want character alongside central convenience.
Sydney, Australia
On the south end of Sydney’s central business district, the Kimpton Margot Sydney is much more than an ordinary business hotel. Taking inspiration from its setting in a Thirties Art Deco building, this outpost of the ever-fashionable boutique-hotel brand is ornately elegant, and chock full of art. It’s just far enough from the typical tourist destinations to feel like an authentic part of the local life, a feeling that’s only reinforced by its lively social spaces, from the Pantry at Margot’s, a classic Sydney café, to Luke’s Kitchen, a modern Australian restaurant by chef Luke Mangan.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Kin Hotel Đông Du takes its design cues from the Kingsman films: leather, dark wood, and a lobby that feels like stepping into a spy's private club. The guestrooms include minibars and work desks, while Grand City View and Premium City View categories add bathtubs. The hotel sits fifteen minutes from Ben Thanh Market and under two from Bach Dang Wharf, with Saigon Centre, Takashimaya, and Vincom Center all nearby.

Zakynthos, Greece
King Jason Zante occupies a position in the Planos area of Zakynthos that places it squarely within the Michelin Selected Hotels 2025 tier, a designation that signals consistent standards across comfort, service, and guest experience.

Manchester, United Kingdom
A Michelin Selected hotel occupying a Victorian bank building on one of Manchester city centre's most architecturally coherent streets, King Street Townhouse places guests within walking distance of the civic quarter, the Northern Quarter, and Spinningfields.

Sharjah's Kingfisher Retreat by Sharjah Collection holds a Continent Winner award for Luxury Eco Resort, positioning it at the sharper end of the emirate's nature-led hospitality.

Its position near the Historic Third Ward makes it a practical base for visitors focused on Milwaukee's independent restaurant and cultural scene.
Diani Beach, Kenya
A family-owned boutique lodge on Diani Beach Road, Kinondu Kwetu trades the scale of larger coastal resorts for something closer to a private residence: few rooms, Indian Ocean access, and the kind of unhurried attention that only comes when a property is run by the people who own it. The lodge sits within reach of both open-water activities and inland safari circuits, making it a workable base for travellers who want the coast without surrendering Kenya's interior.
Colorado Springs, United States
Kinship Landing sits on South Nevada Avenue in Colorado Springs, carrying a 2025 MICHELIN Selected distinction that positions it in a smaller tier of independently recognised lodging in the city.
