2025’s Most Stylish Stays

An understated entry to Dubai’s lineup of hotels opened last fall: , a
251-room, low-key oasis on the shores of flashy urban peninsula Bluewaters Dubai.
Inside, nods to the brand’s Miami-party-scene roots include The Rose Bar, a dark, moody space whose design evokes a rose petal, with a sparkling “disco corridor” entry, rose-quartz-topped bar, and menu of classic cocktails such as apple martinis and crisp cosmos. Whimsical topiaries à la Alice in Wonderland add playful forms to outdoor spaces, including a fairy-tale-inspired swimming pool. Along with four dining options, the hotel offers a wide swath of private beach that looks out on the glittering Dubai skyline.

In a city that thrives on reinvention, the
171-room is poised to pull off a deft old-and-new balancing act when it reopens this fall. Made Hollywood-famous as the setting for the 2003 film Lost in Translation.

An extensive renovation of The New York, slated to wrap this spring, polishes the NYC landmark’s 375 guest rooms and suites to their original art deco glory and adds a new 30,000-square-foot spa.

The 134-room , Rosewood’s Netherlands debut, will radiate palatial prestige when it opens this spring in the former Palace of Justice, overlooking the Prinsengracht.

After an unforgettable trip to Morocco this past December, my family and I continued our journey to the enchanting city of Barcelona for a few magical days. We loved wandering the vibrant streets and marveling at the breathtaking Gaudí architecture. The Sagrada Família was as awe-inspiring as ever, and Park Güell captivated us with its intricate designs. Strolling along Las Ramblas, savoring local tapas, and enjoying a scenic boat ride made for a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration. The mild, pleasant weather in December was the icing on the cake—we’d return during this winter month without a second thought.

Our recent visit to Morocco 🇲🇦 exceeded all expectations! The country’s iconic red architecture and intricate Moroccan tilework provided a stunning backdrop to this vibrant destination. From wandering through bustling souks to exploring enchanting mosques and museums, there’s no shortage of activities to immerse yourself in. Of course, no trip to Marrakech is complete without a visit to the legendary Jardin Majorelle. Added bonus - just a short drive outside the city allowed us to spend an unforgettable night at a tented camp in the Agafay desert!

For our Marrakech accommodations, we chose the renowned , and it more than lived up to its reputation. Located in the heart of the city, this luxurious hotel radiates Moroccan charm and hospitality. The opulent grounds are simply breathtaking, featuring intricate tiled walls, silk-draped ceilings, marble fountains, and expansive gardens.
