Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur

Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur

We love to root for the underdog as much as anyone, and we delight in exposing small independent hotels to a wider audience. But like the mainstream pop radio hit that, despite yourself, you just can’t stop humming, sometimes the big hotel chains get it exactly right. The fact is, you ...
Myojinkan

Myojinkan

Japan is justly famous around the world for its first-class luxury hotels and for a couple of very inspired boutique hotels. But there’s another, much more traditional side to Japanese hospitality, which few foreigners, up to now, have experienced: the ryokan, the traditional country inn...
Naumi

Naumi

The colonial style reigned in Singapore hotels for quite a long time. But today a new generation of design-conscious boutique hotels is moving in. In the place of what was once the Metropole, a fairly standard budget hotel, the Naumi now stands proudly clad in steel mesh, just down the street fro...
Park Hotel Tokyo

Park Hotel Tokyo

Like many Tokyo hotels, the Park Hotel occupies part of a mixed-use skyscraper; in this case, ten uppermost floors of the Shiodome Media Tower, right in the heart of downtown. Architecturally, the Park Hotel is rather unique — the core of the building has been hollowed out, so that its 274 rooms ...
Park Hyatt Goa Resort And Spa

Park Hyatt Goa Resort And Spa

It’s probably not, at first glance, what you’d expect a Park Hyatt to be. But then again Goa is probably not quite what you’d expect it to be. This hippie hideaway went mass tourism for a bit, but is now being rediscovered by a totally different breed of traveler, one that appreciates the idyllic...
Park Hyatt Saigon

Park Hyatt Saigon

The only thing keeping the Park Hyatt Saigon off the list of historic Ho Chi Minh City landmarks is the fact that it’s brand new. But give it time. Not only is it already by a long way the top hotel in town, but its classic colonial-style facade fits seamlessly into the city’s central Lam Son Squ...
Park Hyatt Seoul

Park Hyatt Seoul

So successful and so focused are the Park Hyatt hotels that once you’ve said the name, there’s very little left to add. The Park Hyatt in Tokyo, world famous thanks to its starring role in the film Lost in Translation, sets out the formula: modern high-rise architecture, sweeping views, sober con...
Park Hyatt Tokyo

Park Hyatt Tokyo

No one quite does over-the-top like the Japanese. Take the Park Hyatt toilets, which have enthroned everyone from Issey Miyake to authentic royalty and, reportedly, Leonardo DiCaprio himself. The electronic seat adjusts to your bum temperature for a cozy wait, while you watch a slide show of cher...
Phuket Pavilions

Phuket Pavilions

Just how little do you want to do when you are on holiday? If you don’t want to cook, explore, push through crowds, or even leave a luxurious villa, then there are more than a few upscale Thai coastal resorts that will meet your needs. But if you don’t even want to bother putting on clothes in th...
Quincy Hotel

Quincy Hotel

Singapore’s reputation for conservatism still holds true in many areas of life, but in recent years the Singaporean hotel scene has come to life in a big way — a hotel like the Quincy just wouldn’t have been possible here a decade ago. As if in recognition of the fact that Singapore is...
Raffles Hotel Le Royal

Raffles Hotel Le Royal

Don’t laugh. Phnom Penh is a tourist destination once again. It is not a town for the faint of heart, however—it is dusty and challenging and strange - just ask the weary expat journalists who prop up the bar at the Foreign Correspondents Club. Meanwhile, lush antique silks line the bazaars, and ...
Rambagh Palace A TAJ Hotel

Rambagh Palace A TAJ Hotel

Since the Fifties this splendid, sprawling palace has been at the top of Jaipur’s luxury hotel market. Rambagh Palace began its life as a guest house for Rajasthan’s royals, and the more things change, the more they stay the same — it’s a part of the Taj hotel group now, and is more or less a gue...
Red Capital Ranch

Red Capital Ranch

Just as the Red Capital Residence fondly recalls a bygone era of revolutionary Communist kitsch, the Red Capital Ranch, in the countryside outside of Beijing, is an homage to an earlier time. In this case a fantasy that predates the Revolution — this place, currently billing itself as China’s fir...
SALA Phuket Resort And Spa

SALA Phuket Resort And Spa

It says something good about the robustness of Phuket’s tourist economy that even now, new hotels are continuing to open there. Sala Phuket, at Mai Khao in the island’s northwest, is a Thai beach resort in the modern mold: some seventy-nine airy loft-style modernist units strung along the coast, ...
Samode Palace

Samode Palace

As Indian royal fantasies go, it doesn’t get much more classic than this. The Samode Palace, in the rocky hills an hour or so from Jaipur, appears more or less unchanged over the course of its four-hundred-year life — in its new life as a luxury hotel, even the modern additions, such as they are,...
Shangri-La Harbin

Shangri-La Harbin

First-time visitors to Harbin might find themselves checking maps to see if this is really China. The distinctly Russian-style architecture (not to mention the wintertime Siberian winds) give the city a distinctly Northern European flavor. And the Shangri-La, the city’s top luxury hotel, follows ...
