Leading’s new hotels
ARIA Retreat & SPA – Cima di Porlezza, Italy
Scheduled to open in August 2021, one of Leading Hotels’ new hotels, considered first and foremost an architectural masterpiece, is situated in a 60-acre subtropical park on the shores of Lake Lugano. Furthermore, the place inspired by the beauty of the mountains, has 30 suites and offers a private beach, spa, gourmet restaurant, infinity pool and various outdoor activities.
Bodrum Loft – Bodrum, Turquia
Located in Demirbükü Bay in Bodrum, and also one of Turkey’s most popular summer destinations, it is designed as a modern, sunny Aegean village. The hotel, which combines above all simplicity and luxury, is located on approximately 60 thousand square meters overlooking the sea. In addition, it has 64 accommodations, including multi-bedroom villas with an exclusive design offering total privacy and bohemian luxury.
Botanic Sanctuary – Antuerpia, Belgium
In fact, one of Leading Hotels’ new hotels combines a sense of history with a contemporary sensibility. The monastery, which will be reborn in September this year, is located in the Antwerp Botanical Garden and is a hidden gem. With a relaxed spirit, the 108-room retreat features luxurious accommodations including spa suites. Additionally, the botanical garden that is an integral part of the spa reflects a devotion to medicinal plants and herbs. I couldn’t forget to mention the Belgian bistro and the sophisticated international bar, led by Michelin-starred chefs.
Hotel Château du Grand – Le Grand -Lucé, France
The property in the Loire Valley was the former country home of Baron Jacques Pineau de Viennay. Since then, it has played host to some of the greatest philosophers of the Enlightenment, such as Voltaire, Mozart and Rousseau. With reinvented accommodations, event halls, an intimate spa, classic gardens and a 32-hectare plot of land, the hotel offers, above all, an incomparable service!
Nayara Alto Atacama – San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
A refuge in the middle of the desert, the ecological resort among Chile’s Cordillera de la Sal, has 52 rooms that connect guests with nature and, moreover, with themselves. So, if you are looking for cultural immersion or adrenaline experiences, the resort is the ideal place. Meanwhile, at the property, you can enjoy relaxation at the spa, soak up the sun by the pool or meditate by Lake Tilo.
Sumahan on the Water – Istanbul, Turkey
The beachfront property is an intimate 13-room retreat with all the comforts of a grand hotel. Located on the coast of Çengelköy, it occupies an Ottoman-era distillery, one of the last examples of 19th-century industrial architecture. The place was transformed into a hotel by the Butler family, and above all preserves the industrial spirit. The accommodations designed with many details, restaurant, garden and a spa, give guests a taste of Istanbul.
Villa Nai 3.3 – Zman, Croatia
Scheduled to open this July, the property on Dugi Otok Island, on the Dalmatian coast, is immersed in nature, surrounded by beaches and cliffs. Architect Nikola Bašić created the hotel, olive oil press and tasting room inside a centuries-old organic olive grove. Furthermore, the hotel’s eight rooms were built with stones collected from the olive grove and the interiors feature designer furniture in perfect sync with nature.
Washington School House Hotel – Park City, Utah, EUA
The high-design boutique hotel is located in one of the last original schoolhouses in the U.S., built in 1889, a National Historic Register landmark. With 13 rooms, it is elegantly designed and feels like a private home, boasting everything “Rocky Mountains” travelers are looking for. At the hotel, you can find a ski lounge, ski valet, heated outdoor pool and dinners with locally sourced organic ingredients. The hotel is also the perfect location for mountain lovers, just minutes from the base and steps from Park City’s main street.
