Hotels & Resorts

Tucked on a barrier island just minutes from Miami, the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne feels like a world apart. The soaring lobby frames a direct view to the Atlantic, the beach is pristine and uncrowded, and the service carries that unmistakable Ritz-Carlton precision. This is Miami luxury without the South Beach noise.

To stay at the Ritz Paris is to inhabit a legend. The gilded salons, the impeccable service, the Bar Hemingway — every detail speaks of a century of refinement. The €450 million renovation only deepened its magic.

Built on a tiny sandbank in the South Malé Atoll, COMO Cocoa Island is one of the Maldives' most intimate resorts. The dhoni-shaped overwater suites are architectural poetry, and the house reef is among the finest in the archipelago.

The Rosewood Hong Kong announced itself as Asia's finest new hotel the moment it opened. The harbour-facing suites are among the most dramatic rooms in the world, and the dining — from Holt's Café to Manor — is consistently exceptional.

The most storied hotel in the French Quarter — a family-owned landmark on Royal Street operating since 1886. The rooms retain the grandeur of the original building, the location is the finest in the Quarter, and the Carousel Bar, slowly revolving since 1949, is one of the great bars in America.

The $300 million reimagining of the former St. Regis Princeville — now the most extraordinary sustainable luxury resort in Hawaii, with a spectacular fire-lit pool terrace above Hanalei Bay, Bamford Wellness Spa, and Na Pali Coast views that no amount of money can replicate elsewhere.

The finest hotel in Louisiana — a soaring tower above the Mississippi River with panoramic views, the best Creole kitchen in the city, and a Chandelier Bar that makes the definitive Sazerac. New Orleans finally has a hotel worthy of its extraordinary culture.

A design-forward boutique hotel on Prospect Street, steps from La Jolla Cove. Warm materials, a genuinely calm atmosphere, and the particular quality of light that makes La Jolla one of the most beautiful places on the California coast.
