Even if you don’t leave the hotel, you’ll feel like you’ve traveled.

4. Ett Hem – Stockholm, Sweden

Ett Hem (Swedish for “a home”) is exactly that—but if your home had soaring ceilings, curated antiques, and a greenhouse-turned-dining-room. This 12-room townhouse was designed by Ilse Crawford, and every corner is a warm, elevated hug. It’s understated luxury at its coziest.

Come winter, it’s basically Scandi heaven with sheepskins and soul.

5. The Calile – Brisbane, Australia

This pastel-toned dream in Fortitude Valley is modernist Palm Springs meets tropical Aussie chic. Curved lines, breezy archways, terrazzo floors, and poolside cabanas make The Calile feel like a design-forward daydream. It’s not just beautiful—it feels good to be in.

Equal parts resort, gallery, and sanctuary.

6. Casa Cook – Rhodes, Greece

Casa Cook does boho minimalism with a sharp eye. Earthy palettes, sun-bleached wood, and open-air flow make each suite feel like a designer’s beach escape. The indoor-outdoor concept means you’re constantly living in light and breeze, not just sleeping through it.

It’s the kind of space that breathes with you.

Summary

Come for the Sleep, Stay for the Space Design-led hotels aren’t just places to crash. They heighten the travel experience, framing your memories in materials, scents, shadows, and light. These are places where every corner tells a story, and where your inner aesthete gets to be front row. You’ll check in for the night—but leave inspired for far longer.
