These spectacular new hotels open in 2023

The numbers speak for themselves - the promised land of the international luxury hotel industry is currently Arabia. More hotels are currently being built in this part of the world than anywhere else. Marriott International alone will open more than 20 hotels with over 5,000 rooms in the Gulf States by the end of 2023.

This does not only mean the United Arab Emirates, neighboring Saudi Arabia is now turning a bigger wheel: the Saudis want to invest one trillion US dollars in the next ten years, with half of the investment amount going into the city of the future project Neom and flow into the Red Sea Project.

The latter stands for a gigantic holiday world that stretches over 200 kilometers along the Red Sea and is said to include five artificial islands and 50 hotels. Jumeirah, St Regis, Fairmont, Raffles, SLS, Grand Hyatt and InterContinental - many luxury chains have already expressed their interest. The first well-known hotel will open in 2023.

The Asian hotel chain Six Senses gained initial experience with Barefoot Luxury in the Middle East with the opening of the "Shaharut" resort in the Israeli Negev desert in 2021. The second desert camp will follow 600 kilometers further south in 2023 - with the difference that the "Six Senses Southern Dunes” is based on a strictly Islamic country where Sharia law applies.

But tourists shouldn't notice anything, because as part of the Red Sea Project, all hotels, including Six Senses, should be independent of the rest of the country in many respects: geographically (the 28,000 square kilometer Red Sea holiday world, which is almost the size of Belgium is located in the sparsely populated northwest and has its own airport), energetically (Red Sea is to be powered by renewable energies) and culturally (alcohol is allowed).

The "Southern Dunes" has a juice bar as well as a beer bar. The spa, with a holistic anti-aging center, shaded water features, and deep cool pools, also meets Western standards. And the architecture of the 76 guest rooms and villas? Inspired by the sand dunes, all the buildings have undulating roofs that seem to blend into the landscape. (sixsenses.com/en)

The opening of the ultra-luxury resort "Atlantis The Royal" has already been announced for 2020. According to current information from Dubai, it should work out at the beginning of 2023, the "star line-up" for the opening ceremony has already been booked, which will not be inferior to the show for the inauguration of the sister hotel "Atlantis The Palm" in 2008.

But that's where the similarities between the two iconic houses on the test-tube island of Palm Jumeirah off the coast of the Arab Emirates end. Because while "Atlantis The Palm" presents itself in the style of the Arabian Nights, the new "Atlantis The Royal" has a futuristic, filigree architecture that is more likely to appeal to design fans and cosmopolitan guests.

This also applies to the entertainment offer. The six towers that make up "Atlantis The Royal" are connected by a 90-meter-long sky pool on the 22nd floor. This skybridge at a height of 95 meters becomes a party location in the evening with a swim-up bar and DJ console. Another is Ling Ling, a contemporary pan-Asian day-night restaurant with 360-degree views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai's glittering skyline.

Heston Blumenthal, José Andrés, Ariana Bundy, Costas Spiliadis and Gastón Acurio were hired as guarantors for star cuisine, creating menus especially for the new hotel. And to ensure that exercise is not neglected with so much good food, hotel guests receive free entry to the neighboring Aquaventure water park every day. (atlantis.com/atlantis-the-royal)

Milan doesn't really need another luxury hotel. So what to do if an Italian hotelier still wants to gain a foothold in the fashion metropolis? Guido Polito believes he has found the answer. The boss of Baglioni Hotels

Because the "Casa Baglioni", located in the Brera design district, is itself a design object: herringbone wood floors, matt walnut paneling, brass details, matching carpets and furniture in linear shapes - the boutique hotel breathes the spirit of the prosperous 1960s. Claudio Sadler also wants to remember the good old days in culinary terms, he promises to "upgrade the classic dishes and reinterpret the tradition".

Luxury Experience, this keyword from the travel industry stands for extraordinary travel events. Hardly anyone celebrates this as skillfully as Bernard Arnault. As head of the luxury goods group LVMH and Belmond Limited (with 34 hotels and lodges, luxury trains and river boats), the Frenchman has a huge portfolio of luxury labels.

And from this he composes pleasure trips through the Champagne for the first time for 2023 - with the new "Coquelicot" as a floating luxury resort. The boat features spacious suites with marble bathrooms, two salons, open plan kitchen and dining area.

In addition to a small crew, a sommelier and changing star chefs, who are specially brought on board from Arnault's wineries and restaurants, take care of the maximum of six passengers. For example Valérie Radou, head chef at Maison Ruinart, the oldest champagne house in the world, founded in Reims in 1729.

In addition to Ruinart, Dom Pérignon, Moët

A small tent city in the jungle of Mexico for adults only - with "Four Seasons Naviva Punta Mita" the Canadian hotel group ventures out of the comfort zone of the classic luxury resorts. What that means in concrete terms will be revealed at the Grand Opening in early January.

Four Seasons itself promises "community, personal growth and knowledge expansion": community, because the maximum of 30 guests are hardly separated from each other in their villa-like tents with open-air living room, hammock and outdoor shower. Personal growth by offering “transformative experiences” such as sunset rituals, stargazing, night forest baths, cliff-top yoga sessions and Mexican grooming rituals featuring hydrating snow mushrooms and energizing gemstones.

The third point, the expansion of knowledge, aims to strengthen emotional bonds between humans and nature. That's fitting, because the resort is nestled in 48 hectares of forest on the Bahía de Banderas peninsula. Those who have had enough of the forest, meadow and community theme will also find all the advantages of a classic luxury resort on site. Because the guests of the tent accommodation have unlimited access to the neighboring "Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita", which includes ten restaurants and bars, two golf courses, three pools, two beaches, spa and fitness facilities.

It is often iconic hotels in a special location that are taken over by the German Oetker Collection and taken to a higher level - with excellent service, star cuisine and special features. For example, “Eden Rock St. Barths” includes a rock star villa with a recording studio and mixing console, on which John Lennon created his album of the century Imagine; At “Jumby Bay Island” (Antigua) guests get a temporary private beach, “The Woodward” in Geneva has the longest indoor pool in the city.

In the coming year, the Oetker Collection wants to open its first house in the USA - "The Vineta Hotel" in Palm Beach. Here, too, the proven recipe is used. The new hotel opens in a 1926 building with a Mediterranean pale pink facade near the beach, which under its old name "The Chesterfield" was named Best Hotel in Florida in Condé Nast Traveler's 2021 Readers' Choice Awards.

A good foundation, then, on which the Oetker Collection can build. She wants to make "The Vineta Hotel" in Miami a "meeting place for friends of the good life from all over the world". The dark British interior will be completely removed, the number of rooms reduced from 53 to 41 in favor of a better sense of space and an indoor-outdoor restaurant with pool will be added for a "fresh Palm Beach feeling".

What do you think of a five-star hotel chain touting the opening of a new resort on the Caribbean island of Antigua: "Singles, couples, friends and groups can party to their heart's content"? And when it's also proclaimed that the Royalton CHIC Resort, with its "vibrant offerings, is the ultimate destination for an adult vacation"?

That's right - prudish guests probably won't be happy at this all-inclusive with 227 rooms, five bars, and six restaurants. And neither do those seeking tranquillity, quote: "Discerning travelers can look forward to day-to-night activities such as themed pool parties and DJ sets". Well, then have fun.

Anyone who likes the Sisi films with Romy Schneider and Karlheinz Böhm from the 1950s will love Schloss Fuschl. The 500-year-old castle complex on Lake Fuschl served as a film location at the time. This attracted other film stars to the Schlosshotel near Salzburg, including Ava Gardner, Marlene Dietrich, Audrey Hepburn, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Roger Moore.

A new chapter in the history of the castle begins in 2023: After extensive renovations, the hotel will reopen at the end of the year as "Rosewood Schloss Fuschl".

This is more than a name change - the Hong Kong-based Rosewood Hotel Group operates hotel legends such as "The Carlyle" in London, the "Hôtel de Crillon" in Paris and from 2025 also the "Bauer" in Venice. In other words, Fuschl moves up into the premier league of European grand hotels. If you book one of the 46 suites, one of the six chalets or 46 guest rooms at Lake Fuschl, you can be sure that you are staying, dining and having a sauna with the current top ten thousand in the world.

Whether the new "Sly Berlin" will be as cool as various announcements would have you believe will be decided in the sauna at the latest. Because a hotel that promises its guests a typical East Berlin attitude to life must also adhere to the nudity regulation that is common in the capital, which states: sweating completely without clothing, only with a towel.

And that could be at a property owned by California luxury holding company Preferred Hotels

The "Sly Berlin" is located in the middle of the Friedrichshain district, where several streets still exude East Berlin charm. The maximum of 300 "Sly" guests can sniff the air of Berlin in four former tenements grouped around an inner courtyard - and alternatively the scent of plants in a 2400 square meter greenhouse. It also belongs to the hotel and is intended to symbolize "the fusion of nature and urban culture", as does the interior design with "brutalistic concrete accents and oak wood".

The punctual opening of the new "The Peninsula Istanbul" on February 14, 2023 seems certain, because the house has been taking reservations since the beginning of November. Deciding now on one of the 177 rooms and suites in the magnificent luxury ensemble right on the Bosphorus is actually advisable.

Because the hotel is in a perfect location, just a few minutes' walk from historical sights such as Galata Tower and the Sultanahmet district. It is the focal point of Galataport's waterfront revitalization project, which includes a boardwalk, restaurants, boutiques, a cruise port, museums and art galleries.

“The Peninsula Istanbul” itself wants to use part of its three listed former port buildings from the early 1900s as an exhibition space for “a carefully curated, hand-picked selection of artworks from both well-known and emerging Turkish artists”.

The Turkish interior elements such as wood and mother-of-pearl inlays, kilim-style carpets and spacious bathrooms clad in Marmara marble also pay homage to Turkish culture. The largest Peninsula suite (510 square meters) has a hammam and rooftop swimming pool. (peninsula.com)
