Ice Hotel by Josh Spear
Feeling adventurous? If you find yourself in the small village of Jukkasj‰rvi in Northern Sweden between the months of December and April treat yourself to an unusual night or two at the Ice Hotel. The rest of the year the hotel is slowly melting and waiting to be rebuilt come next icy season, pulling blocks of ice from the Torneålven River. The hotel has an impressive pillar hall, a film auditorium, 30 individual suites, and the Absolut Icebar-- which is quite fitting. Bunker down in fur blankets on top of blocks of ice, a bit weird but truly exotic.

Hotel Particulier
Nestled in a garden down a secret cobblestone path off Avenue Junot in Paris' Montmartre lies the impossibly charming five-room Hotel Particulier. CH had the privilege of staying there recently (courtesy of the hotel, which just opened its doors in June) and enjoyed the luxuriously appointed rooms and movie-perfect setting—the adjacent pétanque court being the cherry on top of the cake. With a well-curated...

Art Hotels
One-upping the generic prints that often hang inoffensively in hotel rooms and lobbies, more and more hotels add work by big name contemporary artists to their lists of amenities. These three destinations feature art by less flashy names, which makes them a good place to discover new artists and the presentation—graffiti-style murals that cover the walls of a room and doors with photographic overlays—makes for...

While the name couldn't be more minimalist, the g's decor is anything but. This five-star hotel in Galway on Ireland's Atlantic coast opened at the end of last year, with its flamboyant rooms designed by milliner Philip Treacy. While the exterior is nothing to write home about, Treacy's move from headgear to hotel interiors is definitely eye-catching. In particular, the creamy Grand Salon, which...

Mykonos Theoxenia
Overlooking the Aegean, the Mykonos Theoxenia has been a top destination in the Greek isles for over 40 years. Their recent interior re-design makes it all the more appealing by adding a retro-modern look, a harmonious match with Aris Konstantinidis' original architecture. Billed as "60s glam," the new decor has an unabashed Jonathan Adler feel with a mix of organic egg-like vases and lamps...
