Eichardt's Private Hotel

Queenstown, Nouvelle Zélande

This small hotel overlooking the water in this adventurous town has the kind of "how did they think of that" service that is rarely found in traditional, large luxury hotels: quirky, spacious, and a wonderful reflection of the kiwi spirit.

COMO Shambhala Estate

Ubud, Bali, Indonésie

This private estate with five luxurious residences is located on abundant, verdant acreage where two sacred rivers come together; the holistic focus of the hotel and the fact that each of the residences has five or six bedrooms means this is a perfect place for a healthy retreat for you and a few friends.

Mandarin Oriental Bangkok

Bangkok, Thaïlande

In 1991, I stayed in this classic riverfront hotel and was truly shocked when I saw gold-embossed stationary with my name on it in my guest suite and everyone in the hotel seemed to know my name. This is the gold standard for service and a great place for any hotelier to go and get some inspiration about the importance of training an engaged staff.

The Setai

Miami Beach, FL, USA

While this place can be a bit of a scene and the service can suffer as a result, I adore the sexy Far East flavor of the design and the moody nature of the restaurants and bars. This feels like the kind of place where I could spend the last 10 years of my life writing novels on the upper floors of the hotel staring at the Atlantic.

Covent Garden Hotel

London, England, UK

There are many more showy, luxurious hotels in London, yet this home away from home with its slightly modern Laura Ashley interiors provides the kind of comfort and service that make you feel like the King or Queen of England... plus, it's in an eminently walkable location.

Ventana Inn and Spa

Big Sur, CA, USA

Any magical mystery tour of California's coastal Highway 1 that does not include a stop in Big Sur is not complete. This legendary inn, spa, and restaurant (with a clothing-optional pool) introduces you to the mystique and power of nature with awe-inspiring rooms that feel like they grew out of the trees. While the Post Ranch Inn across the street is more fashion-forward and sexy, Ventana captures the sense of place you're looking for in one of the world's most sacred places, Big Sur.

Hotel Vitale

San Francisco, CA, USA

Is it unfair for me to include a hotel that I built? Before the Vitale opened, I always wondered why Financial District hotels had to be so painfully practical and lacking in soul. "Why can't I find a yoga class in the hotel before I go out for my meetings for the day?" "Why can't my business-class bathroom feel like I've been to the spa?" "Why can't I sit in a private bathtub off the spa in a bamboo grove with a view of the San Francisco bay?" Fortunately, I got to answer all of those questions and create a hotel that satisfied my post-W, pre-Four Seasons, BoBo (bourgeois-bohemian) sensibilities.
