The 5 Most Anticipated Hotel Openings of 2025

The luxury hospitality landscape is being transformed by a new generation of properties that push boundaries — whether through groundbreaking architectural design, hyper-local cultural programming, or unprecedented levels of personalized service. From a historic retreat embodying Florence’s scholarly elegance to a Burgundian château reborn, a canal-side Amsterdam landmark, a vibrant London sanctuary, and a secluded Baja beachfront escape — these five extraordinary properties are set to captivate discerning travelers in 2025.

Collegio Alla Querce, Auberge Resorts Collection – Florence (Now Open)

Once educating Florence's elite from its airy hillside campus, the Collegio's privileged location offered scholars inspiration from both city and countryside — a duality preserved in its new incarnation as a luxury retreat. Housed in an 18th-century boarding school just two miles from the Piazza del Duomo, this Auberge Resorts Collection property offers 83 exquisitely designed rooms, including Grand Suites spanning up to 2,292 square feet.

Guests are greeted by sweeping views — gaze at the Duomo di Firenze from one window, then turn to rolling Tuscan vineyards from another. The hotel’s historic charm shines through its restored chapel (now a dream wedding venue) and Bar Bertelli, a sultry cigar lounge once the headmaster’s office.

Culinary delights await at La Gamella, where an open kitchen invites guests to savor Cicchetti-style Italian fare and enjoy an aperitivo. For all-day dining, Conservatorio serves timeless classics, while Café Focolare offers poolside Florentine specialties beneath the Tuscan sun.

The Aelia Spa embraces Tuscan healing traditions with treatments infused with olive oil, lemon, and local herbs.

The hotel arranges private viewings of Michelangelo’s "David" and other iconic Florentine masterpieces.

Château de la Commaraine – Burgundy (Late 2025 Opening)

A 12th-century Burgundian estate reimagined for the modern connoisseur, Château de la Commaraine is set amid the storied vineyards of Pommard, just 2.5 miles from Beaune. Following a meticulous four-year restoration, this 37-room sanctuary blends medieval grandeur with contemporary elegance.

Original white stone walls, intricate wooden ceiling vaults, and a neutral palette honor the château’s heritage, and some of the rooms offer vineyard views. Elevating the experience further, a secluded four-bedroom residence boasts its own temperature-controlled tasting sanctuary — perfect for private comparisons of the domaine's most coveted crus. Under the guidance of Meilleur Ouvrier de France Christophe Raoux, two dining venues — a cellar restaurant and a casual bistro — showcase French gastronomy. Within the château's 14th-century tower, now transformed into an intimate wine salon, sommeliers guide guests through rare Burgundian vintages by candlelight, while outside, the 18-meter heated pool mirrors the sky above Pommard's vine-clad slopes.

Beyond the estate, guests can embark on Wine Safaris, hot-air balloon rides over the vines, or canal sailings, immersing in Burgundy’s rich viticultural legacy.

Rosewood Amsterdam (Opening June 2025)

In the heart of the UNESCO-listed Canal District, Rosewood Amsterdam breathes new life into the former Palace of Justice, a 1665 landmark. After a decade-long transformation, the hotel blends Dutch heritage with contemporary luxury, offering 134 rooms (including five signature suites) with canal or courtyard views. As Amsterdam enforces strict limits on new hotel developments to preserve the city’s historical integrity and cultural heritage, this property represents one of the final luxury hotels approved under the city's 'Hotel Stop' policy.

Designed by Studio Piet Boon, the interiors honor the building’s judicial past — cellblocks reimagined as chic spaces, courtrooms turned into event venues. Three distinct restaurants and bars, including an in-house distillery, celebrate gezelligheid (Dutch coziness).

For seamless transitions between Amsterdam's iconic landmarks, the hotel offers private canal cruises aboard an elegant salon boat designed by Piet Boon — its rich teak decks and supple leather seating reflecting the city's maritime heritage.

The hotel features the magnificent 223-square-meter ballroom, where original judicial chamber details now form a dramatic backdrop for glittering soirées.

Six Senses London (Coming 2025)

Bringing its wellness-focused hospitality to the heart of London, Six Senses will transform the historic Whiteley building into an urban sanctuary. This carefully restored Art Deco landmark in Queensway just moments from Hyde Park will house 109 guest rooms, 14 branded residences, and innovative social spaces designed to foster connection and rejuvenation.

The property thoughtfully balances its heritage setting with contemporary comforts. Guests will discover inviting public spaces including a botanical-inspired lobby lounge, an all-day restaurant, and a tranquil courtyard offering respite from the city's energy.

At the heart of the experience lies the expansive Six Senses Spa, responding directly to urban lifestyle needs. Spanning 325 square meters, the wellness facilities include a 20-meter indoor pool, cutting-edge fitness areas, and the signature Alchemy Bar for personalized treatments.

The concept evolves further with Six Senses Place on the second floor — a members' club blending work, leisure and wellness. Through its curated mix of coworking spaces, social lounges, and treatment rooms, the club aims to nurture both professional creativity and personal growth.

Amanvari, Aman – Baja California Sur (Opening 2025)

Nestled along the pristine shores of Baja California's East Cape, Amanvari emerges as Aman's newest retreat, where the essence of "peace" and "water" — reflected in its Sanskrit-derived name — comes to life. This secluded beachfront property harmonizes with its dramatic desert-meets-ocean landscape, offering a serene escape amid the rugged beauty of the Sea of Cortés.

The resort features a collection of pavilion-style accommodations, private Aman Residences, and intimate dining venues celebrating Baja's coastal flavors through local ingredients. Guests can unwind at the beach club, immerse themselves in the Aman Spa's holistic wellness programs, or explore the untouched shores of its private white-sand beach.

Designed to mirror the peninsula’s natural isolation, Amanvari blends organic, contemporary architecture with seamless indoor-outdoor living. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame panoramic ocean vistas, while shaded terraces and courtyards invite moments of quiet contemplation. The resort’s layout evokes an archipelago-like tranquility, with elevated structures appearing to float above the landscape and ground-level spaces encircled by reflective pools.

For those seeking a deeper connection to this remote escape, the Aman Residences offer a permanent retreat. These villas embody the Aman philosophy of understated luxury, with open-air living spaces, private gardens, and unobstructed views of the sea and star-filled skies.
