Freshly picked from the Fodor’s 100 Hotel Awards, these hotels around the globe–like this one, in Toronto’s west end–are the coolest places to stay right now.



Ayana Resort and Spa

Guests flock to AYANA Resort and Spa in Bali, Indonesia, for cliff-top views, picturesque surroundings, and an award-winning spa. The resort’s thermal spa features everything from al fresco cabanas and seawater therapy, to hydrotherapy circuits, offering guests the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate. One of their world-renowned treatments, thalassotherapy, decreases the effects of stress, pollution, and poor diets.

The Brazilian Court Hotel

Palm Beach’s The Brazilian Court Hotel combines historic grandeur with sophisticated elegance. A favorite among celebrities, the resort is just a short walk away from some of the city’s best shopping and beaches. The hotel offers great amenities like the Frederic Fekkai hair salon and spa, or a five-course dinner at Café Boulud, the hotel’s gourmet French restaurant.

The hotel’s restaurant, the Beacon Public House serves delicious regional cuisine and creative cocktails.
