10 hotel openings we’re looking forward to in 2025
New addresses worth bookmarking.
At Little Emperors, we’re always on the lookout for new hotel openings, and 2025 has a stellar line-up in store. Ivana Piccolotti, Little Emperors' Head of Partnerships, shares which new hotels she thinks our members will love, and which ones she can't wait to check into.
Faena New York
Faena New York is landing in West Chelsea this spring with 120 rooms, a South American-inspired wellness sanctuary, and nightlife that’s bound to impress. As one of our most popular hotels in Miami, we’re thrilled to see Faena expand to the Big Apple.
Airelles Venezia
Airelles Venezia marks the brand’s first venture outside France. On the Venetian island of Giudecca, it spans three buildings with three pools, three restaurants, and even its own church. We can’t wait to see what their legendary culinary team brings to the table.
One&Only Moonlight Basin
One&Only Moonlight Basin in Montana is their first US property. This all-season mountain resort offers skiing, hiking, and a whiskey shack tucked into the woods. With Yellowstone National Park nearby, it’s all about connecting to the great outdoors in true One&Only style.
Maison Barrière Vendôme
In Paris, Maison Barrière Vendôme is a boutique retreat with just 26 rooms, each inspired by iconic women. Bar Frida, their cosy cocktail space, pays homage to Frida Kahlo. It’s small but full of character, and we’re looking forward to seeing it in person.
Rosewood Miyakojima
Finally, Rosewood Miyakojima in Japan offers beachfront villas on a picturesque island. With spa treatments, local arts experiences, and a sea turtle conservation programme, it’s showing a different side of Japan that we can’t wait to discover.
Four Seasons Hotel & Residences Cartagena
Four Seasons is bringing a new hotel to the heart of Getsemaní, just outside Cartagena’s Walled City. The property will have a fantastic location as well as a rooftop pool with city views, a spa, and eight restaurants and lounges.
Orient Express La Dolce Vita Train
La Dolce Vita Orient Express is set to begin journeys through Italy in 2025, taking passengers on exciting routes through destinations like Rome, Venice, Tuscany and Portofino in gorgeous carriages inspired by 1960s Italian design.
The Twenty Two New York
After making waves in London, The Twenty Two is heading to NYC’s Union Square. The property includes a private members’ club, an all-day restaurant by the team behind Raf’s, and a collection of rooms and suites designed for comfort and style.
Cheval Blanc Seychelles
Cheval Blanc Seychelles has opened on Mahé’s southwest coast, with private villas set along the beach and hillside. Each villa has its own infinity pool, and the resort includes five restaurants, a Guerlain spa and a setting focused on privacy and relaxation.
The Vineta Palm Beach
The Vineta is returning to Palm Beach with a full renovation by Oetker Collection. The redesign reduces the room count to 41 for a more spacious experience, while a courtyard restaurant, a relaxed poolside café, and an intimate bar create new social spaces, all just two blocks from Worth Avenue.
