From luxurious resorts to regal restored mansions and modern urban retreats, these are the most anticipated hotel openings in 2025.
You may think that hotels are simply a part of the travel puzzle, something to be figured out once you’ve decided where you’re going. However, that’s changing as travellers increasingly seek out hotels that capture the essence of a destination, personify their own passions for art, culture, food or sustainability, and in doing so become a destination in their own right. We take a look at some of the most anticipated hotel openings for 2025 – from big brand names to boutique hotels that tell countless stories about people and places.
