Book the Best Modern Hotels

If oil paintings and Belle Époque furniture make you tense up and sweat, our selection of modern hotels will have you feeling at home in no time. That is, assuming that home is an interior design and architectural tour de force.

Clean, white spaces wrapped in perfectly smooth wood stand on stilts just above the dazzling waters of the Maldives, awaiting your discerning eye.

Or maybe the city is more your style. New York, London, Barcelona, Paris, and many other international hubs have repurposed long forgotten heritage buildings, and given them a decidedly current heart transplant.

Northern Europe and Scandinavia are well known for their dogged quest for style, and sampling their efforts could take years - even a lifetime.

But don't restrict yourself to the usual suspects, as pockets of style can pop up anywhere. Tented camps in Australia, Cliffside beauties in Bali, and seaside hotspots like Hvar, Croatia all act as satellites in a global constellation of form and function.
