We're looking ahead to the 2016 hotel scene and we're stoked. The forecast is looking sunny for lovers of fresh spaces, trendy food and drink programs, and off-radar destinations.

A VERY HONORABLE MENTION

Some of these hotels are in such early stages that we weren't able to get any photos. So shout out to Nobu Hotel Shoreditch in London, The Line in Washington DC, Ace Hotel and Catahoula Hotel in New Orleans, The Foundation in Detroit, ASH Hotels in New Orleans and Detroit, Hewing Hotel in Minneapolis, The Freehand in Los Angeles, Hotel Saint George in Marfa, and the Jumeirah and Mandarin Oriental hotels opening in Bali. We have high hopes for these arrivals and will be checking in throughout the year.
