The Bale

The Bale

The Bale cannot accommodate children under 16 year old. A bale is a traditional Balinese pavilion, and it’s a fitting (if prosaic) name for this hotel, comprised as it is of twenty pavilion-style villas along the beach at Nusa Dua. These pavilions are anything but tradi...
The Chedi Chiang Mai

The Chedi Chiang Mai

If Chiang Mai does turn out to be the next big Thailand destination, it’ll be because it’s something a little different. Far from the sandy beaches of the southern coast or the sheer sensory assault of Bangkok, Thailand’s second city lies high in the mountainous inland north, on...
The Emperor

The Emperor

With the amount of construction that’s going on in Beijing at the moment we’d probably do well to get used to this sort of thing. For years, nothing — and then, seemingly overnight, a design boutique hotel as contemporary and cutting-edge as any we’ve seen springs up right in the heart of the cit...
The Eugenia

The Eugenia

In Asia, luxury hotels are generally supersized affairs, where everything from the continental breakfast spread to the dimensions of a bathtub exist on a grand scale. Bangkok, in particular, is home to a number of high-end hotels, each with nearly a thousand immaculately maintained rooms. That&#8...
The Frangipani Tree

The Frangipani Tree

Most of what makes southern Sri Lanka such a magical place to visit has to do with the conjunction of the climate, the landscape, the culture, the sea. But more than a little bit of it seems to come down to the architecture. Take a look at the best small hotels in the region, and in most cases yo...
The Imperial

The Imperial

What India lacks in cutting-edge boutique hotels it more than makes up for in classic old-world luxury hotels. And really, what else would you expect from a hotel called the Imperial? This place is generally regarded as New Delhi’s most elegant grand hotel, and it’s certainly got the pedigree; it...
The Landmark Mandarin Oriental

The Landmark Mandarin Oriental

The original Mandarin Oriental on Hong Kong island just about cornered the market on over-the-top classic luxury. No surprise, then, that the Landmark, over in Central, is a little bit different. It’s a contemporary masterpiece in a town where tastes run conservative — the interiors by Adam Tihan...
The Legian

The Legian

On the beach at Seminyak is one of Bali’s most stylish hotels, the Legian. This is a more contemporary and urbane take on the Balinese resort, going easy on the island atmosphere with interiors that wouldn’t look out of place in a big-city boutique hotel. And though honeymooners are of course wel...
The Luxe Manor

The Luxe Manor

Though the name may give pause, rest assured, they know exactly how over-the-top it is, and it’s meant to be delivered with a wink. The Luxe Manor is, on one level at least, a satire on the ever-escalating absurdities of the high-end luxury hotel market, complete with painted-on chandeliers...
The Metropolitan Bangkok

The Metropolitan Bangkok

The Metropolitan Bangkok is the sister hotel to London's Metropolitan — a sleek and contemporary boutique hotel, with staff outfitted in black designer uniforms, and lots of white paint and dark wood. One might be tempted to think that the sort of minimal, vaguely Oriental design that is al...
The Nam Hai

The Nam Hai

If Thailand’s feeling a bit crowded, fear not — this is the dawning of the age of the Vietnam beach resort. The Nam Hai, on the famous China Beach, just outside of Danang, will have you wondering why you hadn’t thought of Vietnam before. The short answer, of course, is that...
The Opposite House

The Opposite House

Though it’s called The Opposite House it’s not as high-concept as it may sound. Not a hotel where down is up, or the flat-screen TVs watch you, but a hotel named for the guest house that sits across from the main house in a traditional Chinese courtyard home. It’s really only ...
The Peninsula

The Peninsula

The Peninsula is the original Hong Kong luxury hotel, still its grandest, and is the archetypal Asian colonial hotel, still serving afternoon tea, British Empire style, in its massive gilded lobby. You have not experienced truly world-class service until you have been waited on by an army of atte...
The Peninsula Bangkok

The Peninsula Bangkok

This is a case of an excellent hotel which becomes, by virtue of its location, a phenomenal one. The Peninsula's location on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River provides a panoramic view of the city, and a measure of seclusion in riotous, congested Bangkok. But it is not only the prime real es...
The Peninsula Beijing

The Peninsula Beijing

The Palace Hotel, now the Peninsula Palace Beijing, is exactly what one expects from a Peninsula hotel in the Far East. This should not be taken to mean that a stay at the Palace is a predictable experience, in the way that the average chain hotel experience is canned and uninspiring; rather that...
The Peninsula Tokyo

The Peninsula Tokyo

Like Moses just back from the mountain, we’re here to tell you that we have seen the Peninsula Tokyo, and it is good. Actually, good is a bit of an understatement. This hotel, let’s not fool ourselves, is enormously expensive — but it’s as close to worth it as any luxury hotel we’ve ever seen. It...
