For over 50 years, WorldHotels has curated some of the best independent, upscale and luxury hotels and resorts around the globe. The WorldHotelsTM Collections features 200 properties in over 165 iconic destinations worldwide, across four unique collections – the iconic WorldHotelsTM Luxury, the stylish WorldHotelsTM Elite, the welcoming WorldHotelsTM Distinctive, and the carefully designed WorldHotelsTM Crafted – allowing guests to select the experience that better fits their travel needs.
A trusted brand, WorldHotels caters to savvy business and leisure travelers that seek an authentic and local experience when choosing a hotel. Independently operated and owned, each WorldHotels property has its own identity and soul, and every experience is handcrafted to provide an authentic and locally curated stay.
Take for example the WorldHotelsTM Luxury and its celebrated Swedish member, the Upper House in Gothenburg. Located at the top of Gothia Towers, this exclusive, five-star hotel - complete with a Michelin-starred restaurant and sumptuous spa, with a pool hanging over the city rooftops – is a destination in itself. Here you will enter into a relaxed Nordic luxury where every detail is carefully designed to ensure that your experience is front and center.
The iconic five-star luxury White Swan Hotel is located in the cultural heart of Guangzhou at the scenic riverfront on historic Shamian Island and is renowned for extending exceptional service to every guest. With its own private pier for yachts as well as beautifully landscaped gardens, this hotel is a truly unique urban resort for savvy travelers, offering easy access to the city center, shopping areas, metro and train stations as well as Baiyun International Airport.
In comparison, WorldHotelsTM Elite focus on straight style, embodying the upmost of upscale. Blissfully nestled amid verdant valleys and waterfalls, and ensconced by Bali’s iconic terraced rice padi fields, SereS Springs Resort & Spa on Bali carries this collection’s legacy. Culturally inspired by the ritual-rich landscape, this resort offers a most authentic and unique experience on the island.
Connecting the Past and the Future, the Metropol Moscow Hotel is a legendary property in the heart of Moscow, facing the world-famous Bolshoi Theater. Luxuriously decorated in Art Nouveau style, this 5-star hotel offers all modern comforts and technologies in a unique setting and has been the inspiration behind Amor Towles's 2016 worldwide bestselling novel, A Gentleman in Moscow. Book a traditional Russian tea ceremony at the Chaliapin bar and delight yourself in the grandeur of your surroundings.
Endeavoring on a very individual approach to hostelry is the WorldHotelsTM Distinctive brand, which delivers a welcoming accommodation option in some of the world’s most desirable locations. At Rome’s Hotel Quirinale, this endearing quality can be seen in the elegance and charm strewn throughout the entire premises – from the cozy bar to the private gardens and access to the Milanese opera house or the views of the nearby Trevi Fountain.
With Copacabana beach at its feet, the Rio Othon Palace Hotel offers its guests the privilege of being in front of one of the most beautiful and famous postcards of Rio de Janeiro and the entire world. Featuring a rooftop pool with excellent views of the Sugarloaf Mountain and Copacabana Beach, Rio Othon Palace also has two restaurants and one bar, including the famous Skylab Restaurant, located on the 30th floor, where guests can taste Brazilian and international cuisine, including the traditional 'feijoada'.
For a truly immersive holiday, the WorldHotelsTM Crafted properties invite guests to become locals, by capturing the flavor and spirit of their destinations, developing a lasting emotional connection to each and every person who visits them. For a taste, San Francisco’s Hotel Bijou represents the stunning splendor of the city through a range of carefully curated, unique experiences such as private shopping trips to the boutiques of the city’s most famous local designers. Awarded the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Award for Top 15 Hotels in San Francisco, Hotel Bijou in San Francisco, California offers stunning and unique design and luxurious hospitality in the heart of San Francisco's Union Square.
