Bling, bling.
The travel industry might still be regaining its balance post-pandemic, but 2023 ushered in a wealth of latest luxury hotels and resorts anyway, each offering pampering beyond belief — together with eye-watering nightly rates that ensure few to none of us will ever have the privilege of passing through their front doors.
Not that we — and surely, you — aren’t terribly curious to see what goes on contained in the partitions of those over-the-top pleasure palaces, anyway.
LTI – Luxury Travel Intelligence, a members-only organization providing intel to among the world’s wealthiest travelers — shh…no names, but you may probably guess at just a few — has checked out the brand new pretenders to the throne, unlocking just a few of their secrets and giving the nod to a handful of the 12 months’s most lavish and worthwhile openings, all all over the world.
From daring luxury in Rome to discreet elegance in an intimate Parisian refuge, and even right in the guts of the Big Apple, here’s a peek at 10 of 2023’s absolute best.
10. The Fifth Avenue Hotel, Recent York City
“That is such a wealthy, romantic and colourful latest property with an old-school vibe, and we like it. There are 153 exceptionally appointed rooms and suites. each with its own personality and interesting details that make this historic mansion feel like home,” researchers said.
9. 4 Seasons The Pearl, Qatar
“That is slightly different to the same old 4 Seasons resort, with only residential-style apartments on offer. Each comes with a big bedroom, bathroom, lounge, fully equipped kitchen and spacious terrace. There are also two and three-bedroom apartments available, making a real home-from-home feel, 4 Seasons style.”
8. Raffles at The OWO, London
“One other superb property fashioned from a historic landmark. That is the Old War Office (OWO) and from the moment you enter and absorb the grand staircase, you may sense the immense importance of this constructing in its former life. Now, it hosts 120 opulent rooms and suites, nine restaurants, three bars and a Guerlain spa.”
7. Six Senses, Rome
“It is a daring project for Six Senses, creating an urban wellness-focused resort and a real oasis inside Rome’s chaotic and magical historic epicenter. We’re pleased to report that it is a total triumph. Some guest rooms and all the suites have terraces and the dramatic yet soothing Roman Spa sits across two floors.”
6. Estelle Manor, United Kingdom
“This 60-acre country club and hotel nestled in Oxfordshire, perched on the Cotswolds doorstep, is billed as a ‘latest school club with old style values’. We love the vast alternative of impressive accommodations (108 rooms and suites with more to return). Also soon to reach – a Roman-inspired bathhouse and spa.”
5. The Peninsula, Istanbul
“A lavish resort-style property, with ‘wow’ factor at every turn. Spread across 4 buildings, there are 177 rooms and suites offering multiple layouts and categories, a classic Peninsula-style lobby, a formidable spa, plus indoor and outdoor pools.”
4. Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino, Greece
“Mandarin Oriental is one in all many luxury hotel brands we monitor each day. Recently, we named them because the World’s Best Luxury Hotel Brand 2023 and this spectacular latest resort demonstrates exactly why. This is a wide ranging haven, with 99 elegantly appointed suites and villas, each providing exceptional views and abundant space while seamlessly mixing traditional Messenian elements with contemporary luxury.”
3. Bulgari, Tokyo
“Though it only opened in April, this might already be Japan’s most luxurious hotel. Situated on the penthouse floors of the Yaesu skyscraper, from the fortieth floor upwards, with 98 very spacious rooms and suites (spacious is now a Bulgari hotel trademark), a seriously lavish spa and multiple dining and drinking options, it is a true haven, high above town’s franticness.”
2. 1 Place Vendôme, Paris
“Now we have rarely witnessed such a low-key and discreet opening as this, nevertheless it didn’t evade our resourceful researchers. Chopard, the renowned jeweler, has quietly created this gem of a boutique Paris grand dame, with just 15 suites and rooms. Currently, even the hotel website only consists of a booking page. But, trust our judgement, it’s a really special place, particularly if you happen to appreciate quiet luxury.”
1. Bulgari, Rome
“Having reported on luxury hotels and types for over 12 years, we might never have envisaged that a renowned name in tremendous jewelry could surpass the worlds leading luxury hospitality operators to create the World’s Best Recent Luxury Hotel. But is it so surprising?”
“Bulgari clearly understands the needs and likes of world high-net-worth clients, so why not utilize this to create exceptional ultra-luxury hotels? With Rome, the investment in each money and time is extraordinary and subsequently so is the property.”
“With upcoming resorts within the Maldives, Miami Beach and Los Angeles, the continuing rise of Bulgari as a luxury hospitality operator is a possible game changer and such an enthralling watch.”
