The Luxe List 2019

Hotels open by the hundreds every year, but only a few open your eyes.

From a low-slung New Zealand lodge to a Shanghai addition by hotel czar Ian Schrager—and a couple of revamped old favorites thrown in for good measure—read on to discover our picks for the best new hotels of 2019.
