Whether venturing around the corner to new neighbourhoods or further afield to new cities in new countries, we’re thrilled to have opened our door to new communities across the globe in 2024.
From Hyde Bodrum to 25hours Copenhagen Paper Island, Rixos Ras Al Khaimah to Mama Shelter Nice and Hyde Johannesburg, these new openings offer locals and travellers exceptional experiences to truly immerse themselves. Here are some of our most exciting openings of 2024:
Kicking off our year of openings, The Hoxton, Vienna, promised something completely new for locals when it opened in the city in April. Set in a marble-clad Modernist landmark building, the expansive, light-filled double-height lobby is framed by the original travertine-clad walls and terrazzo flooring and dressed with ruby red sofas, statement 1950s-inspired armchairs and lush greenery makes a statement on arrival. Its 196 homely bedrooms, Cuban-inspired rooftop bar with unbeatable city views, glistening pool, French-by-way-of-New-York bistro, basement cocktail bar, and the brand’s grandest event space to date, The Auditorium, shook things up in the city.
Over in London, Hyde brought its electrifying energy to London for the first time. Spanning seven storeys, Hyde London boasts 111 stylish guest rooms, evoking a sense of exploration with a nod to the architectural heritage of the building, originally built in 1874. On the ground floor, guests will find Leydi, the critically acclaimed restaurant bringing Istanbul’s vibrant flavours and all-day dining culture to the heart of London. As night falls, the action shifts underground to Black Lacquer, an intimate space inspired by Japanese vinyl bars and dedicated to a love of music – a subtle nod to Hyde’s origins on the LA club scene.
Also making its debut in a new city, Delano Dubai introduced a fresh hotel and resort experience, underscored by a singular blend of social magnetism and chic elegance. Reimagining the signatures of the Miami original that captivated the world and redefined luxury hospitality thirty years ago, the hotel features 251 guest rooms, including 84 spectacular suites, all designed in Delano’s signature, sublimely understated style. The six distinct restaurants and bars are bringing something entirely unique to the city’s dining and mixology scene and establishing the hotel as a veritable social hub, including a reawakened Rose Bar and the return of the legendary Blue Door restaurant.
Nestled along the Haliç, Rixos combined modern luxury with 600 years of rich heritage in its latest destination, Rixos Tersane Istanbul. Set to be the pearl of the Golden Horn, the resort is redefining Istanbul’s lifestyle scene through its unique blend of history, culture, and art. Featuring 432 rooms, five restaurants and bars charting a culinary odyssey, an exclusive Sports Club to relax the mind and body, Rixy Kids Club and an infinity pool with panoramic views of the Haliç, is a refreshing escape in the heart of the city.
In the Indonesian capital, the opening of 25hours Jakarta The Oddbird in November marked the brand’s entry into Asia. The ultimate spot to nest amid life’s adventures, the hotel is a playground of possibility, where the weird is wonderful. Rising 38 stories above Ashta Mall in the charming Senopati district, the hotel offers 210 rooms, 135 residences for longer stays, 11 creative lounges, one ballroom and an outdoor pool with spa. Five restaurants and bars will gradually complete the property. An urban jungle for urban nomads, it’s the perfect starting point for all expeditions in the city.
And finally, making its grand entrance on the palm-fringed, sugar-soft sands of Costa Mujeres, SLS’ first-ever all-inclusive wonderland brings something fresh and fabulous to the Yucatán Peninsula. SLS Playa Mujeres features 498 lavishly appointed rooms and suites, each outfitted with its own private balcony, terrace or garden with a swim-out pool. Turning the dial up on culinary artistry, the resort hosts 18 distinctive culinary and mixology experiences to indulge every taste, mood and occasion, including the Mexican debut of marquee Mediterranean-inspired dining destinations Fi’lia and Cleo, and the introduction of elevated beach club Twiggy.
We’re already looking forward to an exciting lineup of new openings next year!
