We are delighted to welcome Cinco Quintas Hotel Bo

We are delighted to welcome Cinco Quintas Hotel Boutique as Elegant Hotels of the World’s founding member in Colombia. Newly awarded One MICHELIN Key, the five-star hotel marks an important step in the collection’s international growth, bringing a distinctive independent address in Cartagena’s walled Old City to our portfolio.

A restored historic house surrounds a tropical garden, with spacious suites and the option to reserve entire floors or the whole property. Apogeo Restaurant draws on Mediterranean and Latin flavours, while the rooftop pools and cocktail bar overlook the Old City.

An afternoon at MUNCH or a performance at the Oslo

An afternoon at MUNCH or a performance at the Oslo Opera House gives you plenty to discuss over dinner. And Oslo has restaurants that deserve time of their own.

These five take different approaches to the meal, with cooking that can be precise, playful or both. After an exhibition or a performance, there’s something particularly nice about sitting down to see what another creative mind has made.

Which of these Michelin Star restaurant would you book for the evening?

A big congratulations to the team at Down Hall Hot

A big congratulations to the team at Down Hall Hotel, Spa & Estate, named Boutique Hotel of the Year 2026 at the Boutique Hotelier Awards.

It’s a lovely moment for the Essex hotel and the people who make it what it is. The award recognises a year of growth and investment, alongside the care that goes into every stay.

We’re delighted to see their work celebrated.

Some hotels make it easy to give a city another night. Cinco Quintas has earned its first Michelin Key in Cartagena, joining Rosselli AX Privilege in Valletta and The TownHouse Mykonos, which have kept theirs in this year’s selection.

All three sit in cities with plenty to explore, and each has a character that makes time at the hotel part of the pleasure. A long weekend sounds about right, with room for a slow morning and an evening out.

Which city would you choose for yours?

#ElegantHotelsOfTheWorld

Autumn is a good time to leave the city for a few

Autumn is a good time to leave the city for a few days. Across the UK, the trees are changing colour, the light is softer and a walk has a better ending when there’s a hotel waiting at the end of it.

The appeal of an autumn break is simple: choose somewhere with a landscape you want to spend time in, then give yourself enough time to see it.

For a long weekend, would you pick the lakeside or the woods?

Five reasons to stay at Tudor Farmhouse? Dinner co

Five reasons to stay at Tudor Farmhouse? Dinner could almost count as all five. The kitchen works with produce from its garden and suppliers around the Forest of Dean, and there’s a proper sense of occasion to eating here.

The rest of the weekend is yours: breakfast outdoors, a walk through the woods, or another hour in that four-poster bed. The fire can wait until evening.

Which would you book first: the room or the restaurant?

We are delighted to welcome Tudor Farmhouse to Ele

We are delighted to welcome Tudor Farmhouse to Elegant Hotels of the World. Tucked away in the village of Clearwell, on the edge of the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley, the hotel is set within a collection of historic farmhouse buildings; combining relaxed luxury, exceptional food and genuine hospitality with a strong sense of place.

The hotel’s award-winning restaurant champions seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby producers, while experiences ranging from foraging and vineyard visits to canoeing and walking trails provide a natural way to explore this beautiful corner of Gloucestershire.

TreeHouse Villas Koh Yao treats the private pool villa as a starting point, not the entire holiday. Guests learn batik painting, cook southern Thai dishes, train in a jungle gym, tour the organic farm and paddleboard across Phang Nga Bay.

It is a full diary, but one shaped by Koh Yao itself, from its food and craft traditions to its extraordinary coastline. The only difficult decision is where to begin.

Which experience would you book first?

September at Galgorm Resort makes a convincing case for taking the spa outdoors. Its Thermal Spa Village in Northern Ireland extends into the grounds, with the Alpine Garden, Celtic Spa, salt cave and hot tubs beside the River Maine.

It is an unusually expansive approach to the spa, where much of the experience happens outside and the changing season becomes part of it. Come September, cooler air only makes the hot water more appealing.

Which would you try first?

Golf travel is changing, but the best version stil

Golf travel is changing, but the best version still understands tradition. Across Britain, grand estates are giving the game a broader sense of occasion, pairing championship courses with destination dining, serious spas and country-house hospitality. The result suits a new generation of players who want the ritual of a great round without making golf the entire weekend. Heritage remains part of the appeal. The experience around it has simply become more sophisticated.

Would you choose your next hotel for its golf course?

September plans? Make at least one of them a very good date night.

We’ve picked five London spots for the occasion, including Gymkhana for Indian fine dining, AKI for Japanese-Italian plates and HIDE for dinner overlooking Piccadilly. Bertrand’s Townhouse and The Zetter Bloomsbury make the list for drinks, dinner and somewhere you’ll want to stay a little longer.

Which one are you booking?

Sam Blunnie leads the Garden Room restaurant at Do

Sam Blunnie leads the Garden Room restaurant at Down Hall Hotel, Spa & Estate, where the relationship between chef and landscape begins long before anything reaches the plate. Working closely with Head Groundskeeper David Parkin, he draws on the hotel’s 110-acre estate to shape menus around what is growing, flowering and appearing naturally throughout the seasons.

For this edition of Powered by Pioneers, Sam shares what estate-to-plate really means at Down Hall, how looking beyond the kitchen has changed his approach, and what the estate might inspire next.

We are delighted to welcome Fulham Pier Hotel, an intimate new riverside retreat at the heart of one of London’s most ambitious new lifestyle destinations, to Elegant Hotels of the World.

With just 13 rooms and suites overlooking the Thames, Fulham Pier Hotel combines the intimacy of a private residence with access to the wider Fulham Pier experience where guests can move between the restaurants, bars and lounges of private members’ club Lighthouse Social, dine at Brasserie Constance by chef Adam Byatt, and enjoy an evolving programme of cultural events and live performances.

Our editorial series, Powered by Pioneers, invites

Our editorial series, Powered by Pioneers, invites you behind the scenes of Elegant Hotels of the World. Here you meet the people and personalities passionately crafting unique and authentic guest experiences in distinctive locations around the world. Together, their stories reveal a more meaningful kind of luxury. Independent hotels shine here as expressions of character, culture, purpose and progress.

In this edition, we explore the legacy of Hendra Hadiprana: architect, collector and patron behind @tanahgajahubud in Ubud, Bali. Known affectionately as Om Henk, Hadiprana helped shape Indonesia’s modern art story through Galeri Hadiprana, the country’s first art gallery. He then created a private Balinese estate where architecture, painting, family and hospitality became inseparable.

Everyone chasing hidden gems abroad has missed the

Everyone chasing hidden gems abroad has missed the one fifteen minutes from Richmond station. The hotel occupies a Georgian townhouse directly on the Thames. Bingham Riverhouse turns two nights there into a complete break, priced from £650 for two. Guests stay in a River Room, then take a three-course Market Menu dinner with a bottle of house wine. A complimentary wellness class and a full Riverhouse breakfast follow the next morning.

The offer runs Sunday to Thursday, throughout August only. River Rooms make up a limited share of the hotel, and August is when they book out first.

There are many reasons to stay at The Lakes by Yoo

There are many reasons to stay at The Lakes by Yoo but if we had to pick only five, these are the ones.

A 17-metre heated pool that stays open until 10pm, backed by treatment rooms scented with rose and lemongrass. A supper club series that brings in a different Michelin-star chef through the year. Paddleboarding across Marley Lake at sunrise, before the water picks up any wind. Art Haus villas with a private pool and dock, built for longer stays with friends. Evenings by the double-sided fireplace in the main lodge, log stack included.

Which one gets you there first, the spa or the supper club?

We are delighted to welcome The Lakes by YOO to Elegant Hotels of the World.

Set across 850 acres of lakes, woodland and open meadow in the Cotswolds, United Kingdom, The Lakes by YOO belongs to a new generation of destination estates redefining the English countryside escape.

The estate brings together architecturally designed accommodation, restorative wellness, waterside experiences and a year-round programme of curated events to create a lifestyle destination that feels authentic, immersive and entirely its own.

Bertrand's Townhouse puts you five minutes from the British Museum, with reasons of its own to stay in. Order a whisky in the cigar garden, where glass cabinets hold rows of hand-rolled cigars beside worn leather armchairs.

Upstairs, soak in a clawfoot bathtub under tall curtained windows at Philosopher's Quarters. Walk past a Marilyn portrait rendered in crystal on your way down to Ottie's Salon. Finish the night in the courtyard garden, heaters lit against the cold.

We are delighted to welcome Bertrand’s Townhouse to Elegant Hotels of the World.

Set across three Grade II-listed Georgian townhouses in the heart of Bloomsbury, London, Bertrand’s Townhouse combines literary heritage, elegant interiors and a quietly residential atmosphere, just moments from the British Museum, Covent Garden and London’s West End. Boutique rooms, Ottie’s Salon and a private terrace and cigar garden create an intimate retreat that offers a distinctly personal way to experience the capital.

Spa travel has moved beyond the treatment menu. The strongest hotel wellness offers now package recovery as a full travel motive: thermal circuits, outdoor bathing, sleep-led stays, bodywork, nutrition and quieter locations with a clear reason to book.

Guests are choosing resorts where rest has structure, from coastal Morocco to rural Northern Ireland and country-house England. The point is no longer one massage between activities. It is a hotel stay built around decompression, privacy and leaving visibly less exhausted.

Holidays by the water have become the smarter way

Holidays by the water have become the smarter way to switch off without disappearing completely.

TreeHouse Villas Koh Yao, Paresa Resort, La Sultana Oualidia, The TownHouse Mykonos and Fonab Castle all turn geography into the main amenity. A private pool, beach cabana, breakfast terrace or waterside dining room becomes the reason to stay on property longer, order another course, and let the location do the planning.

Which one would you book first?

Paris during Haute Couture Fashion Week is not lim

Paris during Haute Couture Fashion Week is not limited to runways and hotel suites.

The strongest fashion stops are in the museums: La Mode en Majesté at Musée des Arts Décoratifs, 18th-century fashion at Palais Galliera, the savoir-faire exhibition at Palais Galliera and La Galerie Dior on Avenue Montaigne.

Each one adds context to couture: construction, fantasy, archive, craft and the visual codes behind the houses.

Which Paris fashion exhibition would you see first?

During Haute Couture Fashion Week, the best Paris

During Haute Couture Fashion Week, the best Paris bookings are the ones near shows, fittings, hotels and retail appointments.

Gigi Paris and La Suite Girafe suit Eiffel Tower lunches with clients. Beaucoco is useful for Right Bank shopping and hotel meetings. Perruche makes sense for a Printemps stop on Boulevard Haussmann. Maison Revka is the evening booking, with a dressed-up room and strong group-dinner appeal.

Which one makes the most sense for their couture-week schedule?
