Not exactly a hotel, this “residents' club”—launching in South Kensington in spring—blurs the lines between hotels, serviced apartments and private rentals, positioning itself as a second home for its guests for however long they want to stay, whether it’s a day or a year. The stylish project includes a refined restaurant and bar, results-driven wellness, a refrigerator-stocking service and lockers for deliveries.
The first “design resort” by Tel Aviv–based hotel collection Brown Hotels is on the Corinthia coast just an hour's drive from Athens. It has an ultra-clean and organic seamless design concept intended to merge with the natural surroundings, with sweeping views of endless blue across the Saronic Gulf.
