A village within a village. The Peterhof in Vorarlberg has always been a place of community. A home. With a long history and lots of memories, both from its owners in the fourth generation and the guests who return here time and time again. With its modern chalets, the old-established alpine inn on the Alpe Furx has been adding a new chapter since 2021 and a formal link to contemporary zeitgeist.
The great American road trip has inspired a new level of luxur at this just-opened Calitornian travel destination.
Up to this day, ships rely on the guiding light of Faro de Punta Cumplida to show them the end of Spain – which is right where the Canary Islands’ most extraordinary luxury hotel starts.
Three suites, 150 years of lighthouse history, the endless sound of waves breaking on the cliffs. A sanctuary that lets you escape the noise and rush of everyday life, a hideaway for individualists, a lighthouse keeper’s platform 111 feet above the cliffs. The next mainland 3244 miles windward: America.
When architect, Malek Alqadi combined astute environmentalism with his exquisite taste, he didn't just create this home, he sparked a revolution in sustainable tourism. Set on the edge of the Joshua Tree National Park, guests take the lead in operating this clean yet luxurious off-grid space. Think serious stargazing sessions through a telescope, showering by a boulder, and falling asleep under the desert sky with a crackling fireplace at your feet—the second bedroom is open to the elements, with no walls or ceiling. And it's packed with technology too. You can measure your energy consumption, change your light settings and set cooling and heating temperatures of the space. Wrapped in salvaged weathering steel and up-cycled details, it raises the bar on stylish, conscious travel.

One of Catalan’s most famous architects, Ricardo Bofill was responsible for many social housing projects in Spain and France. One such project is La Muralla Roja in Alicante, a Moorish fortress-inspired complex with a striking red facade and series of labyrinthine staircases (anyone else getting major Squid Game vibes?). This five-star Airbnb lets guests explore beyond the individual apartment, including the building’s rooftop pool and countless photo backdrops.

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (better known as Le Corbusier) was a pioneer of modern architecture, with 17 projects inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. One UNESCO-recognized project is Unité d’habitation, a series of residential buildings that includes the influential La Cité Radieuse structure in Marseille. The apartment building is a paragon of Brutalist style (bulky, stark, made from concrete) and features a communal rooftop terrace, views of the Mediterranean, and 337 apartments with western-facing balconies. This two-bedroom duplex on Airbnb gives you a little taste of Le Corbusier’s original design—plus Wi-Fi.

KAJ is actually not a hotel. But nor is it a houseboat. KAJ is something in between. A floating pod of Danish hygge crafted entirely of reclaimed materials. It is tucked away in a quiet part of the beautiful harbor of central Copenhagen, Denmark. With a direct view of the historic custom house (Toldboden) and a stone’s throw from several of Copenhagen’s wonderful tourist attractions, KAJ Hotel combines the perfect location with a unique residential experience.
After a night’s sleep on the soothing waves, you can make your own homemade porridge and coffee/tea (all provided by us) while watching the Copenhagen skyline from the balcony, dangling your feet in the clear water – or even taking a morning dip.
At KAJ Hotel, you get the charm of staying on a houseboat combined with Scandinavian design and the comfort of staying in a hotel. It is the very essence of Danish hygge.
