Global Hotel Roundups
New Travel Guides Spotlight Distinctive Hotels and Immersive Winery Retreats Across the Globe
Anonymous
Several travel roundups spotlight distinctive hotels where a strong sense of place is central to the stay. Nashville’s small boutique inns emphasize personal service and neighborhood experiences, while European luxury city hotels, American desert resorts and winery properties pair distinctive settings with amenities such as spas, pools, fine dining and curated wine experiences. The selections range from intimate stays in Nashville and Sonoma wine country to expansive desert retreats and design-focused urban hotels in Milan.
Key Points
1
Caroline House in Nashville is a restored 1921 home with four bedrooms and a studio, run by eighth-generation Nashville native Ashley Rose and her husband. Rather than serve breakfast onsite, it gives guests a neighborhood breakfast experience at nearby restaurants.
2
Milan’s Carlton opened in late 2025 as Rocco Forte’s 10th Italian property. Its interiors by Olga Polizzi and Paolo Moschino mix design references to Gio Ponti and Alberto Giacometti with antiques sourced by Polizzi from local dealers.
3
At Amangiri in southern Utah, a pool curves around a natural rock formation; nearby Camp Sarika offers tented pavilions with private pools.
4
Auberge du Soleil in Napa Valley has a 15,000-bottle cellar and hosts a monthly “Vin Versus” tasting comparing a California wine with a French one. Guests can also take a private champagne-sabering lesson and keep an engraved saber.
5
USA Today’s 2026 wine-tasting-room ranking was determined by readers and a panel of wine-industry experts, who weighed wine quality and variety alongside scenery, ambience and attractions. Oregon’s Willamette Valley took the top spot.
