Walking into the W’s first Middle Eastern outpost is like entering a never-ending party: Chill-out music plays in the sleek lobby (even at 8 a.m.), and the handsome staff from Mexico, New Zealand, Tanzania, and Russia, among other countries, hand each arriving guest a mocktail. The hotel’s Sisley Paris Spa and restaurants (there's Papermoon Milan and Peruvian spot COYA) are attracting expats and locals eager for a more global experience. The 442 rooms are filled with curves: rounded frames for the desks and bed platforms, arabesques on walls and curtains, and circular chairs positioned to take in the seafront or the evolving skyline of starchitect skyscrapers. Business travelers will appreciate the convenient location in the West Bay financial district, the attentive service, and the lap pool with resistance current.

When you enter this defiantly cool luxury property in the heart of downtown Dubai, you’re greeted with a wall-sized stained-glass window emblazoned with the phrase “Fortune Favours the Bold.” They take that motto very seriously here, with a design scheme that takes big swings: Think a bust of a chimpanzee in military regalia on your nightstand or oversized rubber ducky statues. The crown jewels are the twin infinity pools that sit atop the 75-story tower, which rank among the tallest in the world and offer jaw-dropping views out toward the Burj Khalifa and beyond. The SLS’s Italian eatery Fi’lia (which means “daughter”) is the first female-led restaurant in the region, with a menu broken down into three sections—Nonna (traditional dishes), Mamma (twists on classics), and Figlia (contemporary creations)—and it earned its first Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2022.

Rising like a great gilded cake from the western shores of Lake Pichola, magnificent Udaivilas is just the spot to wash up after a dusty Rajasthan road trip. This particular pleasure palace is a relatively recent arrival, but, like the 18th-century mansions it overlooks, it was built to showcase the craftsmanship of the Rajput era: marble-carved lotus ponds; glittering thikri mosaics; delicate miniatures painted on pale gold walls hand-plastered with lime, crushed marble, egg white, and tamarind. The spectacular Candle Room contains a dome set with thousands of pieces of mirrored glass. Udaipur’s busy market streets are only a few miles away, but Udaivilas has the luxury of space: 30 acres of what used to be the Maharana of Mewar’s hunting estate, with bird-filled grounds and views of the pretty lake and its floating mansions. All this grandeur could feel cold and overwhelming if it weren’t for the excellent staff. Guests are greeted off the motor boat by doormen with great twirling mustaches, and within minutes everyone knows your name. Small, personal interventions include gifts of a metal-wrought tea light or beaded bag, say, left in your room alongside a handwritten note. In the most romantic city in India, this is the most spectacular place to stay.

Walking into the Four Seasons is like stepping into an exclusive club that has been around for ages. The interior—all marble and mahogany—manages to straddle the line between Texas traditional and contemporary. The newly renovated gym is open 24 hours a day, and the hotel is kid-friendly to the umpteenth degree, with activities like mommy-and-me yoga, movies by the pool, and pizza-making class. The hotel occupies a prime central location downtown, just steps from the convention center, which means it gets its fair of share of business travelers, and for good reason: With its stellar staff, amenities, and accommodations, the Four Seasons is second to none in the The Bayou City.
