Tierra Patagonia | Luxury Lodge at the Edge of Torres del Paine
The drive from Punta Arenas takes five hours. Five hours north through Southern Patagonia, past estancias where guanacos outnumber people by several orders of magnitude, along roads that sometimes feel more like suggestions than infrastructure, until you finally reach the edge of Torres del Paine National Park. Then you see it: a low, curving structure […]

Lilløy Lindenberg | Private Island Hotel in Norway
Getting to Lilløy requires a boat. This is worth noting upfront, because it changes everything about arrival. You drive forty minutes north from Bergen along Norway’s west coast, past fishing villages and rocky outcrops, until you reach Herdla, a small settlement that looks exactly like what happens when Vikings settle somewhere beautiful and then mostly […]
Kruisherenhotel | Luxury Hotel in a Gothic Monastery, Maastricht

The kind of medieval architecture that tends to house museums or the occasional concert. Then you walk through the entrance, an illuminated orange copper tunnel designed by Ingo Maurer, and realize this […]
Tschuggen Grand Hotel | Mountain Resort in Arosa, Swiss Alps
There are hotels with spas. And then there’s the Tschuggen Grand Hotel, where Mario Botta, the Swiss architect responsible for some of the most thoughtful modernist buildings of the last half-century, designed a 5,000-square-metre wellness sanctuary and then buried most of it inside a mountain. Only nine triangular glass “sails” emerge from the hillside, glowing […]
Arctic Bath | Floating Hotel on a Frozen River in Swedish Lapland
There’s a particular kind of quiet that only exists this far north. It arrives with the snow, settles deep into the birch forest, and doesn’t ask permission. Arctic Bath has been built entirely around that quiet. Fifty kilometers south of the Arctic Circle, in the unremarkable-sounding village of Harads (population: approximately 500, ambience: priceless) sits […]
Forestis | Luxury Mountain Wellness Retreat in the Dolomites
There are wellness retreats, and then there’s Forestis: a place where architecture dissolves into landscape, and silence becomes the most coveted luxury on offer. Perched at 1,800 meters on a forested slope above Brixen, this South Tyrolean masterpiece reimagines what it means to retreat. The design philosophy is deceptively simple: three slender towers rising like […]
