8 Hotels with Inspo-Worthy Design
One of the greatest perks of traveling — or simply window shopping online, for that matter — is gathering design inspiration from various corners of the globe. From the glitzy streets of Paris to the rustic bush of South Africa, you can brush shoulders with remarkable interior design that’ll leave you dreaming up your next renovation. Below, discover the top 10 hotels that we’ve been eyeing from afar.
Masseria Calderisi | Puglia, Italy
Surrounded by nearly 20 acres of olive groves and gardens, Masseria Calderisi is a 17th-century farmhouse that combines contemporary style and carefully preserved architectural details. The 24 rooms and suites are beautifully clean and simple with bleached antique stone, coastal-inspired finishes, and authentic nods to the hotel’s pastoral roots.
Crosby Street Hotel | New York, New York
Designed by Kit Kemp, Crosby Street Hotel is brimming with kitschy-yet-classy details that bring English elegance to Manhattan. Each space is entirely maximalist in the best way possible, complete with retro colors, antique artwork, both vintage and modern furniture, warehouse-style windows, and so much more. Here, you’ll find decor that’s simultaneously over-the-top and comfortable for a distinctive New York stay.
The Wild Rabbit | Cotswolds, England
Exposed stone, aged oak beams, one-off pieces of furniture, soft linens and wools, sand-blasted limed oak fixtures — The Wild Rabbit in the Cotswolds is a design dream come true. The modern British inn features masterfully curated “pub rooms” and cottages, each with an elevated countryside aesthetic that blends raw, rural simplicity with unapologetic luxury. And it doesn’t hurt that their restaurant is a piece of art in and of itself.
El Fenn | Marrakech, Morocco
Marrakech is full of Instagrammable moments — one being El Fenn. Owned by Vanessa Branson (Richard Branson’s sister), the boutique hotel embraces the art and culture of Morocco with saturated colors, classic mid-century furniture, and hand-crafted details at every turn. Everything is immaculately layered, evoking an air of pure effortlessness and charm — and, as you can probably guess, no two rooms are the same.
Hôtel Providence | Paris, France
While opulence isn’t our usual go-to, Hôtel Providence nails it with remarkable perfection. The Parisian hotel’s 18 individually designed rooms feature bespoke finishes from top to bottom, including everything from flea market finds to Art Deco wallpaper, whimsical vintage objects, and rich, bold fabrics that are as cozy as they are extravagant.
Singita Sweni Lodge | Kruger National Park, South Africa
Situated on the banks of the Sweni River in Kruger National Park, Singita Sweni Lodge is an intimate hideaway that’s a bold celebration of contemporary African design. Enfolded by the boughs of ancient trees, each space draws from nature with recycled timbers, polished mud, gold and bronze ore, richly hued marble, and bold pops of color. Simply put, you’d never guess you’re in the middle of the bush — despite the rugged treetops beyond your window.
Blackberry Farm | Walland, Tennessee
Situated on a pastoral 4,200-acre estate in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, Blackberry Farm is an ultra-luxurious resort that blends earthy, country-house style with a decidedly sophisticated vibe. From the homey Historic Rooms to the plush Suites to the decked-out Hill Cottages, each living space is designed to the utmost nines for an uncommon take on Southern living.
Caldera House | Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Imagine your most idyllic mountain home. Caldera House in Jackson Hole is exactly that. Designed to hark back to the early days of American ski culture while adopting a chic, modern edge, the hotel features just 8 multi-bedroom suites with contemporary finishes, a mix of wood and farmer stone, upscale furniture from Italy, and regionally inspired details that evoke timeless traditions of the American West.
