The most luxurious property in the Mayakoba complex, the Rosewood is emerged in deep green mangroves and serene emerald lagoons.

The pick for design hounds, with Art Deco touches in the oversized rooms and a ground-floor bar for the style set.

Perched high above Tokyo, this hotel immerses guests in Japanese culture with panoramic views, a tri-level restaurant, a seasonal spa and five opulent penthouse suites.

This hip boutique sleep has a host of special extras, from loaner bikes, scooters and ham boards to a rare-in-Denver rooftop pool and choice of brasserie-like restaurants.
