Hotel openings

New hotels are continuously emerging around the globe, catering to diverse traveller preferences. Here are some openings that I'm excited about.

The Eve Hotel Sydney Designed as a dream collaboration between SJB’s Adam Haddow, 360 Degrees’ Daniel Baffsky and Interior Architect George Levissianis, the hotel is at once a transporting oasis and a delightfully Sydney-centric celebration of place. Soft, organic curves and natural materials set the scene – with balconies offering views across the rooftops of Redfern and Surry Hills, and carefully restored plants bringing the natural environment into the city’s urban heartland. Art from Sydney artist Louise Olsen features throughout, with one spectacular piece taking over the entire ceiling of the hotel’s lobby bar, Bar Julius.

Aman Tokyo, Japan
With its opening slated for late 2025, Aman Tokyo will introduce a unique blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern luxury. Located in a sleek skyscraper, this hotel will feature luxurious accommodations, an extensive wellness program, and unparalleled views of the city from its serene gardens and indoor pool.

Mandarin Oriental, Lake Como, Italy
Set to debut in mid-2025, the Mandarin Oriental at Lake Como will blend luxurious modern amenities with the historic charm of the region. The hotel will feature lavish suites, an exquisite spa, and gastronomic experiences that highlight local Italian cuisine amidst breathtaking views of the lake and mountains.

The Edition Doha, Qatar
Scheduled to open in early 2025, The Edition Doha will blend contemporary design with Qatari culture. This waterfront property will feature stunning views of the Arabian Gulf, multiple dining options including a world-class restaurant, and a lavish spa, making it a prime destination for luxury traveller’s.

Thinking of Gran Canaria for your next break?

Gran Canaria is the third largest island in the Canaries’ archipelago, but accounts for almost half the population. It lives up to its cliché as a continent in miniature, with a dramatic variation of terrain, ranging from the green and leafy north to the mountainous interior and desert south. To glean a sense of this impenetrable quality, head to the centre, where the sheer drama of the mountains more resembles the Tibetan highlands than a relatively small island.
