The ultra luxury hotel collectionCollections
By the kind of stay.
Every hotel in our list, grouped by what it does best. A hotel can sit in more than one collection, and each one only appears when four or more of our hotels truly fit.
Beachfront hotels
Hotels where the beach starts at the edge of the garden, from the Andaman coast of Thailand to the Atlantic shore of the Algarve.
Private pool villas
Hotels where you can book a villa or suite with its own pool, from riverside villas in Bangkok to clifftop houses in Phuket and cabanas in the Alentejo.
Heritage hotels and palaces
Hotels with a long past: palaces, mansions and grand hotels that have welcomed guests for a century or more, restored for today.
Hotels with Michelin starred restaurants
Hotels with a Michelin starred restaurant under their own roof, from three star dining rooms in Paris to Phuket's first starred kitchen.
Spa and wellness retreats
Hotels where the spa and the setting are the reason to go, from Six Senses in the Douro and on the Thai islands to Aman in Phuket and Bangkok.
Hotels on the river
Hotels on the banks of the Chao Phraya, the Seine and the Douro, where the river is the view, the road and the reason to stay.
Ski hotels
Winter hotels in the high Engadin, from the palaces of St. Moritz to the Kronenhof in Pontresina, with each hotel's season dates on its page.
Winter sun
Beach hotels on the Andaman coast of Thailand, in the Maldives and in Dubai, the three places where December to March is the best time of year.
