Floor-to-ceiling windows run the length of every room here, so the South China Sea is essentially part of the décor. This Forbes Five Star hotel in Taipa keeps things sleek and contemporary, with earth-tone rooms, hardwood floors, and bathrooms that don't make you feel rushed. The 38th-floor lobby sets the tone, and the 38 Lounge draws a well-dressed crowd at sunset for cocktails and live jazz with the Macau Peninsula glittering across the water.

Floor-to-ceiling windows facing the trees in La Forêt, or a circular sleeping nook under a simulated night sky in the Moonlight Suite: this Michelin Key hotel on the edge of Hoge Kempen National Park has clearly given the room categories some thought. Three buildings spread across a historic estate handle different moods, from grand manor-house formality to lakeside contemporary. A gastronomic restaurant, a bistro, and a champagne bar mean you never have to leave, which is the whole idea.

A converted estate on the Lower Rhine, close to the Dutch border, where an old barn has been reimagined as a pop-up restaurant and the rest of the property balances country-house warmth with contemporary design. It's a wellness-oriented hotel with a proper spa, pools, saunas, and direct access to cycling and hiking routes. Rooms range from cozy singles to generous suites, all keeping that same modern-rustic mix without letting either side win.
