Bold design, stark decor and a gourmet restaurant combine at this hipster hangout in Rome’s historic heart Rumor has it this 17th-century townhouse was once a holding facility for the enemies of the Catholic church. But all that dark and dusty history has been well and truly zapped thanks to the hotel’s bold design, stark decor and hip hangouts. Thankfully, all this no-frills minimalism perfectly balances the dip and sway of the ancient cobbled streets around picture-perfect Piazza Navona.

Stylish sleep designed by Christian Lacroix on Paris's ritzy Left Bank, two blocks from the Seine The brainchild of French fashion designer Christian Lacroix, Le Bellechasse Saint-Germain is a 33-room spot on the Left Bank. The building itself dates back to 1840, but the interiors have been flamboyantly reimagined by the master couturier. Bedding down here feels like staying in an elaborate work of art. Close at hand are the banks of the Seine, the Musée d’Orsay and the Louvre. Here, Paris is at your (incredibly stylish) doorstep.

Lavish two-bedroom suite in the former summer residence of Austria’s Habsburg emperors Set on a sprawling 435-acre plot in southwestern Vienna, the Schönbrunn Palace is the former summer residence of Austria’s Habsburg emperors and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in 1642, this Baroque beauty is where Emperor Franz Joseph was born, where Napoleon met with his generals, and where a six-year-old Mozart performed in the Hall of Mirrors. And now, through a collaboration with Austria Trend Hotels, you can stay in a lavish two-bedroom suite in the eastern wing of the palace. Access is via a geheimstiege (secret staircase), and the interiors are a modern take on imperial opulence, with parquet floors, white lacquered furniture, chandeliers and gold leaf galore.
Converted warehouse turned stately hotel with a waterfront setting and Table Mountain backdrop Watching the sunrise behind Table Mountain is a bucket list–worthy experience, but at Cape Town’s Victoria & Alfred Hotel it’s simply the backdrop at breakfast. In the heart of the shop- and restaurant-filled V&A Waterfront district, this stately 94-room hotel occupies a renovated 1904 Union Castle warehouse, offering views of the busker-filled plaza or the harbor. Since opening in 1990, the V&A has reigned as one of Cape Town’s top hotels and is a standout for its personalized service (you’ll find a note from the general manager in your room), the fine dining restaurant and cocktail bar Oyo, and the elegant guestrooms.

Rocky Mountain resort with Bauhaus architecture overlooking Aspen’s Roaring Fork River On 40 acres just outside of downtown Aspen, this 98-room Bauhaus-style hotel looks like something you might find in downtown Miami, not smack in the middle of the Rockies. Aspen Meadows’ campus of six two-story buildings was designed in the early 1950s by Austrian architect Herbert Bayer, and its stark geometric facades, glass walls and white exteriors manage to fit in perfectly, complementing the mountain vistas, quivering aspen groves and the gurgling rivers through their complete aesthetic detachment from the ecosystem.
Stunning 14th-century country house in the heart of Burgundy with just five suites, an outdoor pool and tennis courts In the village of Leugny in the heart of Burgundy, La Borde Maison d'hôtes is a charming country house with just five characterful rooms. Originally a moated fort built in 1363, it was converted into a private residence in the 16th century, and some of the original features remain. The interiors are by Parisian designers Mis en Demeure, and they combine historic components (heavy exposed beams, tile floors) and a contemporary color scheme (gray, saffron, burgundy). Set on 17 acres, the gardens won a Jardin Remarquable award from the ministry of culture, and the grounds feature an outdoor heated pool and tennis courts.
There is no other island quite like St. Barthélemy. The perfect combination of France, the Caribbean and Elle Décor, it has a sophisticated island vibe all its own. The same can be said of the Christopher Saint Barth, recently reopened in tony Pointe Milou after a three-year revamp. Tucked into a botanical garden on a hillside overlooking the sea, the 42-room property coddles and soothes the winter-weary with sleek design, savvy service and its exceptional setting.

Rustic mountain retreat in Idaho with a spa, pool and restaurant, just 35 minutes from Jackson Hole Located just over the rugged Teton Pass from Jackson Hole, the log cabin–style Teton Springs Lodge & Spa sits on 780 acres of land surrounded by the verdant green of Targhee National Forest and the white of soaring snowcapped peaks. The hotel’s main lodge has 52 rooms and suites with decor that mixes Native American and Wild West cowboy art, polished wood and earth tone walls and local photography. The wood frame beds are made up with soft Italian cotton sheets and plush Denali throws, while the bathrooms have whirlpool bathtubs for relaxing after a long day of skiing. The large suites are made even more inviting by stone fireplaces and big comfy chairs in the separate living area. Pamper yourself by booking a treatment at the 5,000-square-foot Stillwaters Spa; it offers everything from reflexology and aromatherapy to après-ski facials and deep tissue massages. Other amenities at Teton Springs Lodge & Spa include a heated outdoor swimming pool, hot tubs, tennis courts and the Range restaurant, which serves hearty fare such as Lava Lake lamb T-bones with a rosemary Zinfandel demi-glace and blue cheese mashed russets.
A honeymoon is no average getaway, so choosing a honeymoon destination is no easy feat. When it comes to planning the perfect post-wedding holiday, where you stay is as important—if not more so—as where you go (we're talking privacy and those uncompromising extras). From an idyllic remote island retreat to a historic palazzo on an Italian cliffside, these are the best hotels to ring in that next life chapter. Happy planning!
Stately grande dame near Regent's Park that serves posh afternoon tea by day and killer cocktails by night The Langham London is anything but ostentatious. Even after unveiling a five-year, $130 million renovation in 2011, the hotel still exudes a simple and understated elegance — as you'd expect from a classic English hotel with such a prestigious heritage. It traces its pedigree to 1865, when the Prince of Wales presided over the opening ceremony. The lobby has some impressive additions, including enormous marble pillars, hand-blown Murano glass chandeliers and Asian artwork.

Experience both the East and West sides of Istanbul at the A’jia, a mansion-turned-hotel on the banks of the Bosphorus. Although the outside invites visions of historical grandeur, the hotel is more akin to a modern gallery than to a Belle Époque hostelry. And here, sweet honey and black olives come with the view, as breakfast is served by the sea.
