Once home to legends, the Edwardian Old War Office is transformed into London's premier destination. Opulent staterooms and offices have been transformed into luxury guest rooms and suites. Diverse restaurants and bars occupy breathtaking historical rooms, including an atmospheric speakeasy and a Champagne bar.

Robb Report, June 2024Why book? Because this is the most dazzling, patrician and talked-about hotel to have opened in London this century—with great bones, spirit, heritage, and style; not to mention sybaritic restaurants, bars, and wellness spaces.
Conde Nast Traveler, May 2024Who would have thought an old war office would become one of the world’s most swoon-worthy hotels? Overflowing with history, grandeur, and unparalleled elegance, Raffles London at The OWO's nine restaurants and three bars fit like a white glove.
Food & Wine Magazine, April 2024And thanks to several bars and restaurants—including three by Argentina-born superstar chef Mauro Colagreco—the OWO promises to turn the sleepy-at-night Whitehall area into a happening dining and drinking hub.

There’s a dedicated chef for each accommodation, as well as endless activities on offer, from sunset dolphin cruises to a picnic on a deserted island to even a castaway dining tower and observatory in the lagoon, reachable by zipline, a nod to the playfulness that’s a Soneva signature—each villa has its own water slide, too.
Robb Report, July 2025A different private chef each night brings a rotating global menu to the table—though nothing beats zip-lining down to the restaurant out at sea.
Conde Nast Traveler, April 2025Soneva brought its castaway fantasy to new heights with the May 2024 opening of a third Maldivian hideaway that’s its grandest—and smallest—resort to date.
Afar, April 2025The location, in the remote Haa Dhaalu atoll – the westernmost point in the Maldives, accessed by a 75-minute flight from the capital, Malé – is its first selling point. Soneva Secret is the only resort for dozens of miles in every direction.
Financial Times, HTSI, May 2024It’s tiny (just 14 villas, including the Castaway, which floats, a Maldivian first). Each comes with a dedicated staff of three—your “barefoot guardian,” assistant, and chef—plus a fully equipped gym and treatment room. The decor is somewhat less rustic than at Soneva Fushi, but still breezy, white-washed, nature-inspired.

Maroma offers a series of exclusive experiences rooted in the terroir of the hotel, from sound therapy with the hotels’ protected indigenous Melipona bee population to stargazing experiences paired with biodynamic wines and artisanal cooking classes that teach guests how to make tortillas by hand.
50 Best, September 2024If there is such a thing as one perfect spot to relax in this world, my guess is that it’s right here at Maroma.
Esquire, April 2024There’s a sea turtle sanctuary, a nursery dedicated to rescuing endemic plants, a conservation program for endangered bird species, and even a sustainable ocean golf experience. (The balls turn into fish food.) Guests get taken care of too: Accommodations come with sun hats, sandals, and cotton caftans for the beach—plus carafes of tequila and plates of fresh fruit.
Afar Magazine, April 2024The electric-white beach is still the main draw, but when you need a break from the sunshine, a small-batch tequila and raicilla tasting in the private cantina awaits.
Travel + Leisure, April 2024This property, which has just gone through a major renovation, has managed to transform itself into something entirely fresh while still keeping its soul, thanks to the tremendous attention to detail put into its design, service, and food.

The famous and celebrated Southern Ocean Lodge was completely destroyed in the bushfires four years ago. Now completely rebuilt, to the same (or even higher) standards, it opens its doors again.
StayGrandPraise
The 2.0 version has reclaimed the same clifftop spot overlooking the endless blue of the Southern Ocean, affording incredible views from its 25 suites. More importantly, it also lies on a wildlife corridor, and the owners have secured the land around it to protect against future development. The result is a boon for guests.
Wanderlust, April 2025This remote retreat, positioned magnificently on a clifftop overlooking the Southern Ocean – next stop Antarctica – still sets the ultimate standard for Australian luxury.
The Telegraph, September 2024Suites manage to be cozy as well as part of the spectacular wilderness, with terraces and fireplaces to boot. The island’s wildlife is thriving once again, and everything that was much loved about the award-winning resort is back—including Sunshine, its kangaroo sculpture mascot.
Afar Magazine, April 2024The food is fantastic (as it needs to be, in a country with such a high per capita instance of world-beating restaurants).
Financial Times, December 2023Unlike the rest of the lodge, which is a blueprint of its former self, the Southern Spa has been completely transformed, relocated, and upgraded.

StayGrandPraise
Estelle sprawls – with various satellite cottages, stables, glasshouses and houses positioned close by – within 3,000 acres of parkland. It is all incredibly grand, but fresh and contemporary too.
The Telegraph, September 2024The Glasshouse restaurant is truly outstanding: a charming, bright room; fun, friendly staff; and imaginative and beautifully executed dishes.
Robb Report, June 2024Estelle Manor's groundbreaking new spa in the Cotswolds, a recreation of a Roman villa, harks back to the sociability and ritual of ancient times.
Harper's Bazaar, June 2024It all feels cinematic and delightfully British, including the way the house car — a Land Rover, naturally — clatters over the pebbles of the tree-lined drive and the cheery apricot glow of the fire that seems to flicker in sync with the DJ.
Travel + Leisure, April 2024Everything is celebratory of the good life, with a no-expenses-spared mélange of textured interiors, elaborate food and clubbable service. It’s hard to find a country-club set-up that matches it in terms of sheer ambition and breadth of vision – and competition is stiff on the cusp of the Cotswolds.
Condé Nast Traveler, August 2023Estelle Manor, once known as Eynsham Hall, is a Cotswolds hotel and members’ club so magnificent that it has former Soho Farmhouse staff – and members – marching through its doors.
Tatler Magazine, August 2023Set in a Grade II-listed landmark house on a 60-acre estate, surrounded by more than 3,000 acres of rolling parkland, Estelle Manor is a heady mix of elegant, contemporary art-filled spaces and old-school values.

The experience is one of dreamlike intimacy—the feeling that at the end of an ornate, Alice in Wonderland hallway sits your own Flatiron pied-à-terre with 24-hour butler service and an on-demand martini cart in the evenings.
Robb Report, June 2024If you’re in the mood for a change from the big hotel brands that run up and down the spine of Manhattan, and want to nestle into something more intimate, the Fifth Avenue Hotel is for you.
Conde Nast Traveler, May 2024This is New York, but you might not leave the hotel. There’s in-room martini service, and downstairs is one of the city’s best new restaurants, the old-school-luxe Café Carmellini, as well as the Portrait Bar, home to some of the town’s best martinis (outside of your room).
Esquire, April 2024Café Carmellini is earning buzz thanks to beloved New York City chef Andrew Carmellini, but don’t miss the Portrait Bar, a wood-paneled boîte where the cocktail menu takes cues from the staff’s travels.
Afar Magazine, April 2024The Fifth, as those in the know call it, brought new life into Manhattan’s hospitality scene with 153 rooms and suites decorated in a maximalist style by the firm of designer du jour Martin Brudnizki.
Travel + Leisure, April 2024Long gone, apparently, are the days when Manhattan luxury boutique hospitality was synonymous with minimalism.

Day trips include drives to ancient mud villages, tours to Buddhist and Hindu sites, and hikes to glacier lakes that end with picnic lunches.
Afar Magazine, April 2024Each of the 29 rooms has a spacious bathroom — many with deep tubs — as well as woven tiger rugs on the polished black wood floors, and felt blankets from a Nepal-based workshop that supplies Hermes. But none of it can begin to compete with the view of Mount Nilgiri through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Our 29 suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the Nilgiri range. Impeccably decorated by Bill Bensley, they come with all the modern comforts you'd expect from Shinta Mani. The aesthetic draws inspiration from local Tibetan art and imagery, accented with bold colors. Designer blankets, handmade Tibetan rugs from Nepal, and stylish wooden furnishings blend timeless design with luxurious comfort. Our restaurant, lobby, and bar showcase a unique mix of antiques and upcycled furniture in classic Bill Bensley style. Local handicrafts, vibrant textiles, and yak fur from the region complete the decor. The outdoor terrace provides comfortable seating to take in the splendor of the Nilgiri range as the wind whistles through the valley. At night, large fire pits keep you warm while you marvel at the multitude of twinkling stars in the clear night sky.

Think of this 32-room hotel, which opened in November, as a contrast to the bombastic names that dominate the hotel scene here—one powered by a generosity that only family-run properties can offer.
Robb Report, June 2024Set along a canal near Piazza San Marco in Venice, Violino d’Oro (from the family-owned Florentine luxury brand Collezione EM) celebrates the city’s artisan legacy in every fabric, furnishing, and piece of glass.
Afar Magazine, April 2024Housed in three adjoining 17th-century buildings a five-minute walk from Piazza San Marco, it is 100% percent made in Italy. Every fabric, piece of furniture, plate, or glass—whether traditional or contemporary—has been hand-crafted in the country, most by Venetian or Florentine artisans.
Town & Country, April 2024If you can’t buy your own palazzo a five-minute walk from Piazza San Marco and fill it with an eclectic collection of antiques, mid-century design pieces and contemporary art, this is the next best thing. Actually, it’s better – because it comes fully staffed by a cohort of charming men and women ready to make you feel at home, with remarkable ease.
