With two white sand beaches and a postcard setting, the Viceroy Anguilla combines the natural beauty we all hope to find in the Caribbean with the flair of contemporary architecture and the rich textural layering that distinguishes Kelly Wearstler’s interior design.
Perched on a bluff as if parked there by the ocean swell, the Viceroy Anguilla literally straddles both Barnes and Meads Bay. The strong horizontal lines of its modern architecture are flanked by two strips of fine, pale sand.
Accommodation choices vary from elegant garden view rooms, to beach front villas with private pools. What all the rooms have in common is the distinctly tactile and toned down sophistication of Kelly Wearstler’s design signature; combining travertine, bleached teak, linen, rattan, bamboo and the odd piece of sculptural driftwood fashioned into exotic table lamps.
Thirty five sophisticated and polished acres of idyllic Caribbean beach frontage.

The lush countryside, the warm disposition of the people – these might be what distinguish Antigua from other Caribbean islands, but for Gordon Campbell Gray, the decision to invest in Antigua was swayed by the special beauty of Carlisle Bay. This natural harbour in the most remote corner of the island, defined by a fine crescent of sand, is straight out of an ideal Caribbean press release. Its emerald green waters are surrounded by forested mountains and plenty of swaying palms, Carlisle Bay is the only hotel in this idyllic location and, having negotiated title to the entire beach, he intends to keep it that way. The swimming pool tiles were brought in from Bali and a black-painted orchid pool with its flaming torches defines the entrance.
The all-suite hotel opened in late 2003 and the guest reaps the benefit of Gordon Campbell Gray's almost manic attention to detail in a wild and ruggedly natural setting.
From the lights that illuminate the garden at night, to the bleached grey stain of the outdoor timber, to the abundance of orchids, to the custom-made furniture and interiors designed by Mary Fox Linton – no detail large or small has escaped Gordon's magnificent obsession.

With only 34 rooms and suites, the proprietor’s chose the name to suggest the ambience of renting a villa as opposed to staying in a hotel. Only, in this adults-only villa, they serve up complimentary Champagne breakfasts, afternoon tea, evening canapés and a 30 minute jet-lag massage. Ambassadors are ever-present to cater to guests' every whim!
On a design front its combination of smooth lines of teak, curved lanterns and modern lighting to set the mood, is suitably exotic. It's a beautifully intimate place with plenty of privacy for romantic dining. For food lovers The House may be one of the best hunting grounds on the island, because the most acclaimed addition to the Barbados restaurant scene is the adjacent Daphne’s. Located bang on the beach, this satellite of the famous London restaurant, is regarded by many as better than the original.
The House is the beachside version of a hip downtown hotel.

Round Hill is where Jacqueline and JFK spent their honeymoon, where Rodgers and Hammerstein played chess, where Hitchcock got sunburned and where Noel Coward, if egged on enough, would sing for the guests.
After 50 years, Round Hill has a million stories to tell, but most impressive is how little it has changed. The place today offers the same blend of qualities that has always pulled the famous names and faces; namely a well-preserved slice of old Jamaica.
Today you still enjoy its stylish architecture and a predictably colonial pace of life, but with the added pull of an oceanfront spa and refurbished hotel rooms designed for beach living by Ralph Lauren, (perhaps whilst visiting his own villa at Round Hill).
A former pineapple plantation on the outskirts of Montego Bay, what is it about Round Hill that makes it such a magnet?

Situated on the northernmost tip of Arabia, on the Musandam Peninsula…
At first glance, this doesn’t look like a hotel – it looks and feels like an authentic Omani village. Appropriate and authentic are the first words that come to mind. Zighy Bay is done in a style that adds powerfully to the experience, it capitalises on this sensation of splendid isolation.
It’s all about creating a memorable experience, and to that extent Zighy Bay has gone to extraordinary lengths. Not only do the guest houses resemble traditional Musandam dwellings, but the raw, rugged simplicity of the style carries on in the interior and yet all the refinements guests expect are here also. The bathrooms are open plan, each villa has its own swimming pool, and there is a spa, three restaurants, two bars and a tasting cellar.
Zighy Bay is a spectacle, a raw, rugged magnificent spectacle.

This remote retreat on a small island in the Andaman Sea has one of the most spectacular views in Asia. Thai resorts and beaches are renowned for their beauty, but this escape destination takes it to another level. Camouflaged by the island’s dense foliage, the beautifully rustic but thoroughly contemporary guest villas all benefit from a constant vista of a collection of limestone sentinels sticking out of the turquoise Andaman Sea with purposeful monumentality.
This spectacle continues throughout the property. From the bar, the restaurant, the beach etc, the view is consistent and unavoidably dominant.

Beacon Hill is Boston’s benchmark. If it’s near, on or around Beacon Hill you’re in the right place as far as Boston is concerned. With its atmospheric mix of boutiques, antique shops, historic townhouses and fashionable restaurants, it is the city’s most desirable location.
Situated in the historic Ames building, hence the name, this hotel brings some badly needed attitude to one of America’s oldest cities and a new great option for a HIP place to stay. The design is all new and guestrooms have every modern comfort yet some of the original landmark features have been retained. Being Boston there is no bar… there’s a modern translation of a tavern! Named for a tavern once housed in the Ames family home, a place that traditionally served food and ale. Appropriately enough, Woodward, offers a regional ingredient driven menu (created by Chef Mark Goldberg), that was designed to be shared at a lively table. This is not a hush-hush type restaurant.
Ames is exactly the kind of place you hope to find in Boston. Historic and classical on the outside; funky, streamlined and quirky on the inside.

The Mondrian South Beach is a curved piece of modernist architecture with an interior designed by controversial Marcel Wanders. The style is definitely post minimalist with a sophisticated colour palette of gold, black and white. With his trademark chandeliers throughout, comfort in the sensual sense is given centre stage inside and out. The huge pool with private cabanas and individual plunge pools, surrounded by a lush garden, lounge areas, secret pathways and kissing areas is definitely not your average pool.
The setting is straight out of CSI Miami, the silhouette of downtown Miami is behind the expansive blue waters of Biscayne Bay. Because it faces west it also has the sunsets; best watched with a mojito in hand from the bayside bar or private rooftop bar.
There are no rooms! Every guest gets a studio or apartment - The convenience of a residence with the luxury of hotel service.

The art consciousness that one would expect from SoHo or Tribeca has been mixed with the more formal, well dressed profile of a 5th Avenue address. Chambers is in one of the most desirable Midtown areas – on the northern frontier just below Central Park.
Architect David Rockwell was brought in to realise an interior to go with the art. The property features a substantial permanent collection of contemporary art. A fascinating mix of photography, painting, works on paper and sculpture, the likes of which you would normally not find in one place.
With raw concrete ceilings, industrial lamps bolted to the walls and polished concrete floors in the bathroom, the interiors are not what you would expect from a hotel around the corner from Tiffany’s. But that’s exactly why it works.
Chambers, located in the heart of midtown, offers a seamless fusion of uptown luxury and downtown cool.

Built from scratch by a creative team, The Marcel Wanders designed entrance is a hit, the completely off the wall Thor restaurant on the ground floor is consistently voted in New York’s top 100, and the rooms, with their all yellow or all black bathrooms are a sumptuously spacious alternative to smaller spaces elsewhere in Manhattan.
Thor is the Viking God of the area, a thunderbolt of a restaurant enhanced by Wanders’ wild wallpaper and his outhouse in the middle of the space. But the real plus of Hotel on Rivington came as a surprise to everyone, including the owners. There had never been a tower in this area, so no one knew that it would have such an amazing view. A view of New York’s famous skyline from a completely new perspective.
Situated right in the middle of the Lower East Side, Hotel on Rivington is a study in contrast; a shiny glass and steel tower in a neighbourhood of tenement buildings

Located on Spring Street, you’re in SoHo but you’re also on the cusp of TriBeCa so all the most interesting bars, restaurants and shops in Manhattan are literally at your doorstep. Big by SoHo standards, the 46 story hotel offers views, a very happening bar scene, a spa and great dining, so posing the dilemma, to stay in or to go out?
Three words distinguish the 391 guestrooms. Space. Glass. And Fendi. An average of 500 square feet guestrooms offer a lot of space and all the rooms have floor to ceiling windows. They are also the first rooms in Manhattan to have been furnished by Fendi better known for handbags and fur coats.
If you have a Fendi interior you have to have an Italian restaurant. Quattro Gastronomia not surprisingly features authentic Northern Italian cuisine. Bar d’Eau as the name suggests is on the water. i.e. on the hotel’s 6000 square foot pool deck. The Library houses a whole load of art and design books and an intimate fireplace setting. The third bar is a cocktail lounge with mixologists that are popular enough for entry after 10 pm to be guest list only.
Think of SoHo and you think cool, matte black, lofts and lattes; and when you think of Trump, you think big and bling. So no surprise then that Trump SoHo is a luxurious blend of the two.

Nobody would argue that San Francisco is a fun town. It has lots of bars and restaurants, a very famous Chinatown, and a reputation for European-style sophistication. The W, located just around the corner from Union Square, is in the heart of San Francisco’s shopping area, and just next door to the SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art).
The new guest rooms are light and fanciful, and in sync with Northern Californian sunshine. It’s not the new décor however that makes the W such an attractive place to stay. Rather, it’s the ambience. There’s a snappy lively pace to the place, people are constantly on the move – for a quick coffee at the bar downstairs or breakfast in the restaurant, or some work on a laptop in the Adirondack chairs in the building’s outside foyer.
The W in San Francisco has a real buzz, just like the city itself.

Of the top three hotels in Mauritius, The Oberoi is all about the beach and its intimate beach coves. Apart from its setting in 20 lush acres, its dominant feature is its more than half a kilometre of beachfront. Located in the less touristy northwest corner of the island along the Baie aux Tortues or Turtle Bay. The hotel offers a comprehensive selection of spa treatments for those looking to indulge in a bit of R&R, with guests raving in particular about the hotel’s signature paillasson (coconut) massage.
The main restaurant features a soaring roof of palm-thatched timbers and offers panoramic views across the Indian Ocean. As all the food is excellent, the main choice you have to make is whether to dine inside among the pillars, or outside under the stars.
The Oberoi is a beach resort for people who have no intention of roughing it.
