The Collection

Hotels where the spa programme leads the stay.
Mandarin Oriental Taipei
Taipei, Taiwan · Mandarin Oriental
Old-world grandeur executed without irony, and still the address in Taipei.
Rosewood Vienna
Vienna, Austria · Rosewood
A former imperial bank on Petersplatz turned into Rosewood's polished, coffeehouse-literate take on old Vienna.
Hilton Lake Como
Como, Italy · Hilton
The practical way to do Lake Como: a walkable Como base with a rooftop infinity pool that outguns hotels at twice the rate.

Punakha, Bhutan · Aman
The warmest, most forgiving stop on the Amankora loop, with Bhutan's most beautiful dzong just downstream.

Scottsdale, United States · Fairmont
A 65-acre desert resort machine that does family-scale luxury properly, with better restaurants than any convention hotel has a right to.

Quiet Back Bay luxury with a landmark spa and a genuine Boulud restaurant downstairs, walkable to the best of the city.

Mandarin Oriental Jumeira
Dubai, United Arab Emirates · Mandarin Oriental
A sleek modern beachfront flagship that pairs a genuine Jumeirah beach with serious dining and one of Dubai's best spas.
Amankora Bumthang
Bumthang, Bhutan · Aman
The far, quiet end of the Amankora circuit, and the lodge that feels most like old Bhutan.

Taghazout, Morocco · Fairmont
Morocco's beach done with real style: contemporary Moroccan design, a proper hammam and Atlantic sunsets, with Taghazout's surf next door.
Arizona Biltmore
Phoenix, United States · Waldorf Astoria
Phoenix's grande dame still trades on 1929 glamour, and after the Waldorf Astoria polish it mostly earns it.
Fairmont Ajman
Ajman, United Arab Emirates · Fairmont
A proper Fairmont beach resort at northern-emirates prices, all calm water and quiet sand 40 minutes from Dubai's noise.
Fairmont Fujairah
Fujairah, United Arab Emirates · Fairmont
