Master List
The L.E/Miami Master List of 2023 Worldwide Hotel Openings
Okay, so we’re still a few months out from rubbing shoulders (and glitter) at L.E/2023 – but in the meantime, here’s a little somethin’-somethin’ to keep you going until the real deal.
That’s right: it’s The L.E/Miami Master List of 2023 Worldwide Hotel Openings. We’ve hit up our little pink book and scoured the globe to bring you *the* most comprehensive list of contemporary luxury hotels set to throw open their doors this year. You’re welcome, boo.
After a muted few years, 2022 came in HOT (pink) – and 2023 looks set to be its even naughtier lil’ sister. There are independent rebels making their debut and big hitters expanding their influence. Vibey new openings from fashion designers – and fashion magazines. Alpine cabins and desert camps! Beach houses and eco-lodges! Urban idylls and oh-so-dreamy island escapes…
Basically, whatever your fantasy, we’ve got it. You might even recognise a few names from our limited-edition guest list. Ready, set? SCROLL.
HIGHLIGHTS
Short on time? Take a closer look at the cream of the 2023 crop.
Yup, these are *the* hotels to watch this year. If you're lookin' for maximum contemporary travel inspo, just swipe right on these hot selects.
JANUARY 2023
ANDAZ MEXICO CITY CONDESA
Mexico
We’re all about the boho chic vibes so obvs the new ultra-trendy Andaz hang-out in La Condesa has made the cut. The rooms are decorated in white and grey hues with pops of pink (you had us at pink). The best bit? In-room record players with vinyls on hand in the lobby’s record library. Hell-o late night dance parties (we’ll try to keep it down…)
FEBRUARY 2023
CAP KAROSO
Indonesia
IYKYK: Sumba’s pristine shores have long made it Indonesia’s superior island. And now, another reason to visit: Cap Karoso, where home-grown mangoes and tomatoes are the signature scent and every design choice tells a story, down to the tiniest detail. (Bali, who?)
FEBRUARY 2023
HOTEL DAME DES ARTS
France
Emily in Paris L.E/ in Paris is always a good idea. And Hôtel Dame des Arts is offering guests a view of the city of lights usually ‘reserved for the few’, courtesy of its ~arty~ Latin Quarter location and understated Raphael Navot-designed interiors.
SPRING 2023
HOTEL VERMELHO MELIDES
Portugal
‘A place like no other, for people like no other’. A bold promise, but one that Portugal’s Hotel Vermelho looks set to live up to – culture and creativity are embedded into every inch of this tiny (13 room) boutique babe, with accents of Louboutin's signature scarlet shade. If it’s good enough for Christian Louboutin, we’re there.
2023
HOTEL WILLA
USA
In downtown Taos – an area so ‘gram-worthy, it’s even a UNESCO World Heritage Site – lies New Mexico’s latest boutique gem on the block, Hotel Willa. A note-perfect display of the town’s iconic adobe architecture, the interiors – by LA design studio Electric Bowery – will boast textured terracotta walls and earth-toned fabrics. BRB, moving to NM.
Q1 2023
JANU TOKYO
Japan
Janu – the sister brand of Aman – was never going to be anything short of spectacular. And their debut opening in Tokyo – one of three hot properties in the pipeline – looks set to raise the bar seriously high. With a mission we can get behind (blending wellness, relaxation and seriously buzzy ~vibes~) we’ll be leaving our hearts in Tokyo this year.
MARCH 2023
MAMULA ISLAND
Montenegro
Giving a whole new meaning to ‘getting away from it all’, dreamy Mamula is built on a literal fort in the heavenly Boka Bay. Surrounded by sea and steeped in history on all sides, it’s the ultimate factory reset or post-party haven for introverts.
SUMMER 2023
MANDARIN ORIENTAL, COSTA NAVARINO
Greece
Bringing the outside in is nothing new, but MO’s newest outpost makes it seem revelatory, with lush planted roofs, earth-sheltered pools and views for days across the Bay of Navarino (and its iconic golf course, if that’s your thing).
APRIL 2023
NOUS SANTORINI
Greece
So fresh, so clean. Slow living is nothing new in Santorini, but NOŪS elevates the concept to new, achingly chic heights. Expect sleek lines and a contemporary colour palette – including delightful splashes of L.E/Miami pink. SOLD.
SPRING 2023
RAFFLES LONDON AT THE OWO
UK
Consider us shaken AND stirred. The walls of Raffles’ newest outpost are steeped in history, most notably – drum roll – as the home of the old war office of Winston Churchill during WWII and the location of many a Bond movie (Daniel Craig not included).
EARLY 2023
SIX SENSES ROME
Italy
A Roman Holiday in style; Six Senses is opening its first property in Italy in the Eternal City – set in a stunning 15th century palazzo to boot. Did we mention the spa? Recreating the ancient Roman baths, the complex takes relaxation to the next level. Plus, there’s an Alchemy Bar for therapeutic herbs and plants galore. Simply iconiqué.
FEBRUARY 2023
THE INN AT MATTEI’S TAVERN
USA
There’s a reason this tavern is the talk of the town… Auberge Resorts are revamping this illustrious 1800s stagecoach (aka Prohibition-era hangout), turning it into a ranch-style resort in the heart of historical Los Olivos. We’re so ready for the ranch life (so long as there’s hot cowboys and wine around the firepit, ofc).
JUNE 2023
YCONA LUXURY RESORT ZANZIBAR
Zanzibar
Being immersed in nature is the dream, but we’re not the ‘roughing it’ type. Happily, Ycona blends rural vibes (in beyond beautiful Zanzibar) with supreme luxury and comfort – perfect for those who like to enjoy the wonders of the natural world while sleeping on sustainable Egyptian cotton sheets and sampling a spectacular farm-to-table menu. Excuse us while we book our 2023 stay in paradise x
SPRING 2023
1 HOTEL MAYFAIR
UK
There’s now officially more to Mayfair than trendy tourists, The Ritz and the most expensive purchase on the Monopoly board. Here to zhuzh up the neighbourhood and set the standard for a new kind of luxury hotel experience, 1Hotels’ first London outpost is a whisper away from Green Park - the perfect match for their pristine eco-credentials.
