From historic Roman palazzos to Alpine retreats, here's our curated guide to the most anticipated openings that should be on every luxury traveler's radar.
Italy leads the charge with an impressive lineup of openings that spans from city centers to coastal havens. In Rome, two magnificent properties are making headlines:
The Orient Express La Minerva marks the legendary train brand's first venture into hotels, taking residence in a 17th-century palazzo steps from the Pantheon. Its rooftop bar promises to become Rome's most coveted sunset spot, offering unparalleled views of the eternal city's iconic dome.
Just across town, Corinthia Rome opens its doors in February, transforming a 1914 neoclassical palazzo on Piazza del Parlamento into a haven of contemporary luxury. The property's sophisticated courtyards and rooftop terraces are poised to become the new epicenter of Roman high society.
Further north, Florence welcomes the Collegio alla Querce, an Auberge Resorts Collection property that brilliantly reimagines a 16th-century boarding school.
Opening in March, this architectural gem features a historic chapel and theater, while its outdoor pool nestled among olive trees captures the essence of Tuscan living.
The Italian coast isn't left behind, with the exclusive Villa Beatrice opening in Portofino this July. Adjacent to the legendary Belmond Hotel Splendido, this private villa with 16th-century Benedictine monastery roots offers direct sea access and the ultimate in Italian Riviera privacy.
Perched above the Portofino Bay, Belmond Splendido’s Villa Beatrice is a striking blend of Mediterranean luxury and Ligurian charm. Its terracotta façade and cascading greenery open to sweeping views of the harbor, where fishing boats and yachts dot the shimmering sea—offering a rare mix of elegance and complete privacy.
The villa’s terrace may be its most enchanting feature—a sun-drenched escape where time slows down. Framed by handcrafted stonework and vibrant bougainvillea, it offers infinity-edge views of the Mediterranean. Loungers invite quiet mornings with espresso or golden-hour aperitivos, all just steps from Portofino’s lively piazzetta yet hidden in serene privacy.
Inside, Villa Beatrice blends contemporary luxury with timeless Italian elegance. The sunlit living room, anchored by soft neutrals and handpicked antiques, exudes relaxed sophistication. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite the golden Ligurian light, while custom furnishings, local artwork, and nautical accents echo Portofino’s maritime charm—all with Belmond’s signature touch of refinement.
London's luxury hotel scene welcomes Six Senses London to Bayswater, marking the brand's successful transition from tropical retreats to urban sanctuaries.
Housed in the former Whiteley's department store, the property brings Six Senses' wellness expertise to the city center, complete with an extensive spa and indoor pool.
In Vienna, Mandarin Oriental Vienna transforms an Art Nouveau masterpiece in the first district into a 151-room urban retreat. Its location steps from St. Stephen's Cathedral makes it perfect for culture enthusiasts, while the sumptuous spa promises a peaceful escape from city life.
Greece joins the luxury lineup with Tella Therra in Crete, opening July 2025.
This innovative 20-suite boutique hotel redefines sustainable luxury with its unique architecture – each suite's rooftop serves as a garden for the one above, complete with transplanted olive trees from the original plot. The zero-waste restaurant and farm-to-table concept demonstrate that luxury and sustainability can coexist beautifully.
Germany's Chiemgauhof Lakeside Retreat opens in February 2025, bringing contemporary luxury to the shores of Lake Chiemsee. The property captures the essence of Alpine-lakeside living, offering a fresh perspective on Bavaria's natural beauty.
These openings represent more than just new places to stay – they showcase evolving luxury travel trends. Historic preservation meets modern comfort, sustainability aligns with high-end experiences, and wellness becomes increasingly central to the luxury hotel experience.
For travelers planning their 2025 adventures, these properties offer compelling reasons to revisit beloved European destinations.
