Best New Hotels in The World: Regent Bal Harbour, Florida

2009-05-01T19:56:00.000-07:00

Hi readers, here are the New Best Hotel in The World where you can stay for your vacation and trip. We post it one by one for you. Have a nice look.

Regent Bal Harbour, Florida
City Hotel: Make no mistake: Regent’s first property in the United States wants nothing to do with South Beach. While it’s got the beautiful beachfront and plenty of headline-grabbing features (the country’s first Guerlain Spa, a $4 million art collection), there’s no Euro-lounge sound track pumping into the lobby. This is a place for adults—which is appropriate, given that the Regent is also the first major hotel to open in the old-line Bal Harbour Village in 52 years.

Here, it’s all about the signifiers of luxury: Anichini bedding, plasma television screens embedded in bathroom mirrors, and a dazzling crystal chandelier. At times, it might seem over the top, especially when coupled with service that’s a tad overbearing (resolutely solicitous restaurant waiters actually thanked us for enjoying our dish), but the hotel is a welcome alternative for those in search of Miami’s more grown-up side.

Best New Hotels in The World: Haymarket Hotel, London

Haymarket Hotel, London
City Hotel: "Why not have some fun!" may well have been what Kit Kemp said as she released her arsenal of bold colors and supergraphic effects on the public spaces of the former American Express London headquarters in the heart of the theater district. Masters of the clubby/cozy/contemporary (e.g., London’s Soho Hotel, Knightsbridge Hotel, and one of our all-time favorites, Charlotte Street Hotel), the designer and her husband and business partner Tim Kemp know how to create properties that strike a perfect balance between a classic English manor and a buzzy film– and art-world haunt.

Best New Hotels in The World: Qualia, Hamilton Island, Australia

2009-01-09T04:00:00.001-08:00

Hi readers, here are the New Best Hotel in The World where you can stay for your vacation and trip. We post it one by one for you. Have a nice look.

Qualia, Hamilton Island, Australia
Beach Hotel: Billing itself as Australia’s first seven-star hotel, Qualia has the requisite luxury trappings (personal infinity pools, a 1,000-bottle wine cellar). But the real stars here are architect Chris Beckingham and chef Stephane Rio, who have modernized the notion of an Australian reef resort. The airy one-bedroom pavilions combine native styles (corrugated-iron roofs, wide eaves) and materials (plantation hoop pine, Bowen granite) with restraint; each pared-down space is both contemporary and authentic. At the restaurant, Rio uses indigenous ingredients in unexpected ways—even for breakfast, when waffles are served with sweet and nutty wattle-seed and Kaffir-lime syrups.

Best New Hotels in The World: Mandarin Oriental Riviera Maya, Mexico

2009-01-03T19:58:00.000-08:00

Hi readers, here are the New Best Hotel in The World where you can stay for your vacation and trip. We post it one by oone for you. Have a nice look.

Mandarin Oriental Riviera Maya, Mexico
Beach Hotel: If ever you had any doubt about the arrival of the Riviera Maya, a once-sleepy stretch of sand 40 miles south of Cancún, then try booking a room at the new Mandarin Oriental, one of the most anticipated hotel openings this year (we had to put our name on two waiting lists to get in). Hassle aside, it’s easy to see why the property is red-hot. The winning Mandarin formula—exemplary service, forward-reaching design, a first-rate spa—has taken root in a pristine Mexican coastal environment. Acres of mangrove forest, including an on-site cenote, surround a lovely—albeit small—stretch of powdery sand. The 128 boxy white villas give beach chic new meaning, with polished stone floors, rough limestone walls, spare four-poster beds, and sculptures by prominent Mexican artists. We’ll admit, we did experience a bit of sticker shock at checkout. But it’s worth it. This is the most sophisticated resort on Mexico’s eastern coast.

Best New Hotels in The World: J.K. Place Capri, Italy

Hi readers, here are the New Best Hotel in The World where you can stay for your vacation and trip. We post it one by oone for you.Have a nice look.

J.K. Place Capri, Italy

Beach Hotel: Surely the new J.K. Place Capri is one of Europe’s most stylish recent openings. And that it can be found on Capri—which, despite its reputation, still has some unspoiled corners—is music to our hotel-obsessed ears. This charming spot is sing-out-loud gorgeous, and in its mellow atmosphere, we felt like we were staying at a chic friend’s house. The design is nautical with a twist: round porthole-style interior windows, sea-blue walls, crisp white sofas, bronze imitation Greek statues, and houndstooth-print stools. Guests have complete run of the house; we loved picking fresh chilies from the garden to sprinkle on pasta at lunch, and drinking Bellinis on the terrace while watching the bathers on the beach below.

Watch stars on Broadway, glimpse masterpieces at the Met, explore Central Park, visit Lady Liberty and Ellis Island or shop on Fifth Avenue or in trendy SoHo? Sometimes it’s best to just soak it all in: Stand amid the throngs of sightseers below Times Square’s neon billboards or peer down at the city from atop the Empire State Building.
