Etéreo, Auberge Resorts Collection, opened in December of 2021. And it's easily one of the hottest and most luxurious new resorts in Mexico.

Taking inspiration from ancient Mayan philosophies, everything about Etéreo radiates spirituality and a connection to nature. The resort’s 75 indoor-outdoor studios and suites boast private plunge pools and vast ocean views, its four distinct dining venues draw on local, hyper-seasonal ingredients, and in the Sana Spa, treatments infuse traditional techniques with emerging wellness trends, making it easy to feel a million miles away from the distractions of modern life.

Slated to open in early 2022, the hotel will manifest the people and the culture of the city and will become synonymous as a stunning microcosm of one-of-a-kind food, beverage and entertainment offerings, innovative design, and luxury service.

We’re a big fan of Alila Hotels and Resorts. And Alila is opening an exciting new resort in the Maldives in 2022. Surrounded by a stunning house reef, Alila Kothaifaru Maldives will offer guests serenity and adventure in Raa Atoll, a scenic 45-minute seaplane journey from Malé. Enjoy spectacular sunrise or sunset views from one of the 80 beachfront and overwater villas or dive excursions to Hanifaru Bay, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.

4. The St. Regis Chicago

Set to open the summer of 2022, the new St. Regis Chicago is an innovative architectural marvel steeped in timeless tradition. The waterfront hotel's luxurious guest rooms and suites reveal some of the city's revered downtown landmarks, including the Chicago River, Lake Michigan, Navy Pier, and Grant and Millennium Parks.

And Live Luxe Travel Co. clients will receive perks like a $100 food & beverage or spa credit, daily breakfast for two and a welcome amenity.

5. Thompson Austin

We love Thompson Hotels. And Thompson is opening a new hotel in Austin later this month. Thompson Austin, a chic and sophisticated hotel, will bring 229 rooms, including seven suites, to the Texas capital, all designed to help travelers get a little “Austin-tatious.”

Beyond the stylish rooms, designed by Chicago’s Simeone Deary Design Group, guests and locals can also enjoy food from the iconic culinary duo Mashama Bailey and John O. Morisano, the masterminds behind The Grey in Savannah, Georgia. In Austin, the duo are opening an all-day, full-service restaurant called The Diner Bar, plus a grab-and-go establishment dubbed The Grey Market. (Word to the wise: Pick up a jar of blueberry black pepper jam before heading home.)

And when you book with Live Luxe Travel Co., you’ll receive benefits like a confirmed one category room upgrade at the time of booking, a $100 food & beverage credit and daily breakfast for two.

6. Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya

If escaping the winter’s cold for a nice beach in Mexico sounds ideal, the new and luxurious Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya is opening it’s doors on January 15th. With 349 oceanfront rooms and suites, guests can relax in the room before heading out into the expansive property to play in the sun and sand, indulge in international delicacies from the resort’s 11 bars and restaurants, take a swim in one of the pools or recharge at the spa.

Guests of Live Luxe Travel Co. will enjoy complimentary benefits like a $100 credit and breakfast for two.

7. The Fifth Avenue Hotel (NYC)

The Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York City is set to open in 2022. Housed in one of New York City’s architectural masterpieces, the Martin-Brudinski-designed Fifth Avenue Hotel evokes an eclectic style reminiscent of another era. Think grand 30-foot-high entrances, a 2,573-square-foot ballroom, and a signature multi-level restaurant overlooking iconic Fifth Avenue. Each of the 153 exceptionally appointed guestrooms has its own personality with distinctive artwork, colorful furnishings, and cozy details that make this historic building feel like home.

And Live Luxe Travel Co. clients receive exclusive Virtuoso benefits including a bespoke Virtuoso welcome amenity, $100 food & beverage credit and daily breakfast for two.

After numerous delays, the Park Hyatt Jakarta is finally set to open in the coming months. The Park Hyatt Jakarta will be part of the largest resort of its kind in Southeast Asia once it opens inside the MNC Land Tower in the country’s capital city. The hotel will take up the top 17 floors of the 37-story building, where 220 guestrooms and five dining options will share space with the hotel’s impressive 35th–floor gym and daringly high outdoor pool.

Live Luxe Travel Co. clients receive exclusive Hyatt Privé benefits including a $100 USD hotel credit, daily breakfast for two and a confirmed one category room upgrade at the time of booking.

9. Hotel La Compañía Panama City

Hotel La Compañía, part of Hyatt's Unbound Collection, will open in Panama City in April of 2022.

Three different eras of Panama history come to life at Hotel La Compañia, where opulent modern design revitalizes a landmark location. Each of our three wings restores a piece of the old town (Casco Antiguo) to the height of contemporary luxury. Choose a beautifully curated room in the French Colonial wing, built by Jesuit priests in 1739; the Spanish Colonial wing, dating back to 1688; or the American Beaux-Arts wing, which was once a high-end department store constructed in 1905.

Five in-house restaurants draw on the same historical inspiration, creating the stone Spanish church interior of El Santuario or the old-school wood and brass furnishings of the American Bazaar. Head to the rooftop pool and bar for the ideal vantage point of a thriving Casco Antiguo neighborhood, where nightlife, upscale dining, and world-renowned archaeological sites live side-by-side.

And Live Luxe Travel Co. clients receive exclusive Hyatt Privé benefits like a hotel credit, room upgrade and daily breakfast for two.

10. Rancho Pescadero

One of the hotels we're most excited about opening in 2022 is Rancho Pescadero. Following a massive renovation and transformation, this resort located an hour north of Cabo is the perfect luxury escape on the Coast of Baja.

When you pass through the gates at Rancho Pescadero, it’s as if you’ve entered a magical, blissful world — a sanctuary of otherworldly natural beauty, crashing surf, endless skies, lush gardens, culinary decadence, exquisite design, world-class wellness, and truly genuine, personal service. All set directly on the Pacific Ocean against the dazzling backdrop of Baja’s high-desert mountains.

Rancho Pescadero is set to open in the late spring of 2022. And Live Luxe Travel Co. clients will receive Hyatt Privé benefits including a resort credit, room upgrade and daily breakfast for two.

11. Kimpton Margot Sydney

Australia is finally getting a Kimpton! The 172 room Kimpton Margot Sydney will open this February. That home-away-from-home ethos includes signature touches such as the daily Social Hour with complimentary drinks for guests that is themed differently each time and might include a talk on art or culture. Kimpton is very dog-friendly too, with fluffy beds, grooming and doggie bowls available to entice dog lovers. Another Kimpton brand feature is that each property is distinct.

12. Thompson Denver

Thompson Denver is opening this February. And if there was ever a city that needed a Thompson, it’s Denver. Denver is a fun and hip city, but has lacked an edgy hotel. And Thompson Denver will definitely fill that void.

The Thompson Denver will be located at 1600 Market Square in LoDo, a bustling downtown neighborhood in the heart of the city that is steps from iconic Union Station. The 11-story hotel is designed as a “modern-day chalet,” and will feature 216 accommodations, including 15 suites. And Chez Maggy will be the hotel’s signature restaurant; it will be located on the lobby level and will feature 90 seats, with “masterful, market-fresh, Colorado-influenced, French cuisine”
