Welcome to our Hotels issue, which is now
home to our annual Hot List. It's been a long 14
months, so celebrating the industry we love through
30 openings planned for 2021 means a lot to us. From
a Luxury Collection hotel in Seoul and Montage's
debut in Big Sky, Montana to Soho House's entry into
Tel Aviv, the curated list not only spans the globe, but
also showcases the breadth of innovation and talent
in the industry today. After a year of uncertainty, it's
promising to see the amount of development that's
on the horizon from major brands and independent
properties alike-and this is just a sampling! In
fact, we saved a handful exclusively for our online
coverage, so head to hospitalitydesign.com to see even more exciting properties slated
to debut this year.
While tracking all of the openings, we decided to take a deeper dive into two
cities with notable growth: Boston and Paris. For the latter, with the Olympics
heading to the French capital in 2024, hospitality is one part of the driving force of
development, but the showstoppers are a few urban projects taking a more sustainable
approach while still embracing the City of Light's classic appeal. We also catch up
with Platinum Circle and HD board member Kemper Hyers of Auberge Resorts
Collection, to get to know the one-of-a-kind, layered properties (and the designers
behind them) that were recently added to his ever-growing, impressive portfolio.
We also took this opportunity to check in with a few other hoteliers, including
trailblazer Adrian Zecha, who is starting a new chapter with the launch of the Azumi
brand. This time, Zecha evolves the idea of the modern ryokan with the same paredback elegance he was known for at Aman. Speaking of new brands, we showcase
five up-and-comers that are not only goodlooking, but good for the soul and the
environment. Those featured are definitely worth watching!
We've invited a few of the brands and designers found in this issue to speak at HD
Expo + Conference. We hope you can join us this August 24-25th at Mandalay Bay Las
Vegas when we come back together (safely) in person. Use code STACY to register for
a free expo pass today at hdexpo.com. I have never been so excited for a show!
