Watermark Hotel & Spa

There’s more to San Antonio than just the Alamo. Deep in the heart of Texas though it may be, the Watermark Hotel & Spa is an international-caliber luxury hotel, the sort of place any substantial American city needs one of: business-friendly enough for CEOs and traveling salesmen, and plush e...

Waters Edge Hotel

This may be San Francisco Bay — Tiburon is located on the north side of the Golden Gate, just around Richardson Bay from Sausalito — but there’s something decidedly New England about Waters Edge. The view takes in what is quite unmistakably San Francisco’s skyline, as well as the nature preserve ...

Widder Hotel

Throw out the stereotypes about Zurich and its stuffy bankers and chocolate shops—the Widder defies all these with strikingly inventive design, while never forgetting about the fundamentals that make Swiss hotels some of the most professional in the world. Cobbled together from ei...

Willows Lodge

Willows Lodge’s location, on the eastern edge of the Seattle suburbs (not far from a little town called Redmond) makes it an obvious choice for tech-industry corporate retreats. Of course what’s good for the salaryman is good for the leisure traveler as well — you don’t have to be on a trust-buil...

Windsor Court Hotel

Despite its perch on the outskirts of the French Quarter, the Windsor Court doesn’t exactly ooze Creole charm. Forget buttery beignets and the strains of a saxophone wafting through the humid air; think instead of afternoon tea with raspberry scones and smartly dressed maids straightening 2...

Witt Istanbul Suites

While other Istanbul hotels emphasize the city’s ties to antiquity, Witt Istanbul Suites is every inch the ultra-modern contemporary-design boutique hotel. Formerly an ad agency HQ, it’s close by to the central business district, as well as some of the best shopping, dining and nightlife in this ...

XV Beacon

Boston needs to grow young, in the same way many of us need to grow up. Somber, red bricked, brown stoned, the keystone of New England dignity — it's almost as though the Puritans are still in residence. Enter XV Beacon (pronounced Fifteen Beacon, for those who forgot their Roman numerals), the n...

York House

Some of us may find Lisbon a bit long on steeped-in-history palace-style hotels, and a bit short on the kind of mellow modernism that’s spread so widely across the rest of Europe. There’s one stylish little boutique, though, that’s hidden away in just about the last place you’d expect it; the Yor...

Zamani Zanzibar Kempinski

Zanzibar was already impressive enough, with its miles of sandy beaches, endless Indian Ocean views, and its long, strange history as an outpost of the Arab spice trade. Now to the list of attractions you can add a rather impressive luxury hotel, the Zamani Zanzibar Kempinski, a brand new full-se...

Zank Boutique Hotel

Crisp all-white decor and ocean views are nothing new in the realm of beachfront boutiques. But in the Brazilian colonial capital of Salvador da Bahia, where dated luxury resorts and sandy-floored guesthouses dot the coast, the Zank Boutique Hotel amounts to a very stylish alternative. <p...

Zerohotel

We’re not sure exactly where the zero part comes in actually. But there is something charmingly minimal about the Zerohotel Valparaiso, a hotel that knows when to stop trying and just get out of the way. After all, they don’t call this place Paradise Valley for nothing; a cozy and comfortable nin...

Carlton Arms Hotel

Hotel Casa Wagner

One of the best hotels to stay in Sighisoara. Excellent location, in the middle of the citadel.

Claridge’s

This 5 star luxury hotel is famous for its royal guests, often being referred to as an "extension to Buckingham Palace".

The Ritz

A legendary hotel, with one hundred years of history, providing the best services since it opened its doors in 1906.

Spirit of the Knights

Spirit of the Knights is an exclusive Eco Friendly Boutique Hotel set in the medieval old town of Rhodes.
