Our travel team and global contributors have spent the past 12 months checking in and out of brand-new hotels in all corners of the earth, and taking diligent notes. We’ve traveled from the dramatic landscapes of the Pacific Northwest to idyllic Caribbean beaches, from lively and legendary cities in Europe to the verdant tiger reserve in India, and even all the way to the heart of the Great Barrier Reef (and trust us — we’ve been everywhere in between).
We’ve seen long-awaited reopenings from some of our favorite points brands (we’re looking at you, Waldorf Astoria New York and Park Hyatt Tokyo), brand-new all-inclusive concepts in dreamy locales, and some stunning boutique properties that can be booked using points or through your favorite premium credit card booking portal.
We’re also excited about just how accessible points brands have made the great outdoors, with Marriott launching Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors, Hilton debuting Hilton Honors Adventures and Hyatt wowing us with stunning new Under Canvas locations.
So now is the time to grab your favorite credit card for booking travel and take a little trip around the world with us as we show you the best new hotels of 2025.
