Master List 2025
What makes a hotel limited edition? Is it the interior design; the F&B menu; the location; or something else entirely? Finding the answer to this eternal question is the reason L.E/Miami exists — and to help us on our quest, we’ve once again assembled the sexiest hotels opening in 2025*, from tiny independents staking their claim on the contemporary landscape to the big brands breaking ground in new destinations around the world.
Check out the full list of L.E/-approved openings below, then scroll through our highlights at your leisure.
HIGHLIGHTS
Introducing the perfect 10 from the L.E/ Class of 2025.
The ten openings below represent the true essence of L.E/Miami: fiercely independent, relentlessly curious about what a hotel can (and should) be, and straight fire from every angle. From California to Kyoto, here’s 2025’s cream of the crop.
2025
CAPELLA
KYOTO
Japan
The L.E/ collective can’t get enough of Japan. And seemingly neither can Rosewood, Six Senses and Capella, all of whom are setting up shop there in 2025. We’re already lusting over this four-storey, 92-room hotel, stacked with Japanese artefacts and curios.
SPRING 2025
COLLEGIO ALLA QUERCE
Italy
This is not a drill: Firenze is getting its first Auberge resort. Designed for aesthetes and foodies alike, this former schoolhouse-turned-ultraluxe resort will boast five restaurants and unobstructed views of the city’s iconic skyline. Dio mio indeed.
EARLY 2025
FIDELITY HOTEL
USA
While Ohio and contemporary luxury may seem an oxymoron (sorry, Ohio) Fidelity Hotel are set to prove us wrong. From the previews alone, she’s a stunner: the jewel tones, brass fixtures and mahogany hardware are Instagram catnip.
EARLY 2025
HOTEL WILLA
USA
The latest drop from Casetta Hotels is an achingly chic testament to the iconic Adobe architecture its hometown, Taos, is so famous for. It’s imbued with local sensibility — from the arched shower doorways to the minibars filled with New Mexican delicacies.
SUMMER 2025
LA BAHIA HOTEL & SPA
USA
Santa Cruz’s vibe? More laidback beach bum than contemporary luxe. Until now — and the impending opening of La Bahia Hotel & Spa, the sleepy surf town’s first ever luxury beachfront hotel. BRB, the Pacific Coast is calling.
2025
NORDELAIA BEAULIEU
France
Having a rough day? Peep Nordelaia Beaulieu’s Yakusha-studio-designed interiors for instant relief (thank us later). Located in a nature reserve, this Brutalist beauty will also boast the town’s first rooftop bar.
SUMMER 2025
ROMÈGAS
Malta
In case you needed another reason to direct your clients to Valletta, here it is. Romègas is a 500-year-old palazzo, lovingly restored to please even the fussiest of travellers — see the rooftop infinity pool and pristine views over the tiny city’s sepia-toned streets.
SUMMER 2025
THE FLORENTIN
Germany
Reopening summer 2025 as part of the Althoff COLLECTION, The Florentin is breathing fresh life into a Frankfurt classic. Think lush courtyard vibes, 147 slick rooms (hello, Signature Loft Suites), and a 320m² Presidential Suite that screams contemporary luxury — all tucked in the serene Sachsenhausen district. Your new favorite city retreat? We thought so.
SUMMER 2025
THE NEWMAN
UK
One of the capital’s most hotly anticipated openings in decades, we’re aching to wander The Newman’s ‘Wellness Floor’ — a Nordic-inspired space dedicated entirely to pampering exhausted city-slickers.
2025
VESTIGE SON ERMITÀ AND VESTIGE BINIDUFÀ
Menorca
The only thing better than an enchanting Menorcan retreat? Two enchanting Menorcan retreats, housed on the same 800-hectare estate on the island’s rugged western coast. Privacy-seeking travellers will love the hotels’ lo-fi luxe, three swimming pools and excursions including horseback riding, yoga and stargazing. Dream on.
