Where Luxury Has Moved On
How many words have been written about luxury? Yes, these are exceptional hotels, often five-star—but forget the gold taps and formality for formality’s sake. Today’s luxury can mean space, privacy and extraordinary service, but also simplicity, authenticity and the freedom to do things your own way. Breakfast at noon, a brilliant bed, someone remembering your name without making a performance of it. These are hotels where luxury is defined by how the experience feels, not by how much marble is in the lobby.
