Suite dreams
Whether it's LA for a peaceful retreat that was once an infamous motel, Sri Lanka for boutique luxury or a Provençal village for a hôtel particulier, here are our favourite new hotels.
Rest easy
Downtown LA Proper has been three years in the making. We take a tour of the revamped 1920s building that’s luring the overnight crowd back to the area.
Game changer

In good taste
An Appalachian homage, exquisite French delicacies, avocado on toast and a comfort-food favourite — indulge in some of the tastiest treats on our radar this month.
Just add water
After pandemic crowds vanished, Venice glimpsed its quieter potential. Now entrepreneurs are reimagining the ancient city's future while preserving its nautical soul.

Sea change
Florida's former spring break capital has shed its party reputation, emerging as a sophisticated yachting destination where Four Seasons' arrival signals a new era of refined waterfront luxury.
Hearth of the matter
A tranquil onsen hotel on the scenic shores of Lake Poroto in northern Japan combines a serene stay with discovery of the area’s native culture.
