The 18 Most Exciting New Hotels Opening in Spring 2025

Spring is shaping up to be another strong season for hotel openings around the world that are joining the first openings in 2025 — and not just in the usual places, but in locations that feel more considered, more personal, and in some cases, completely unexpected. There are thoughtful revivals of heritage buildings, hotel brands pushing into under-the-radar destinations, and an emphasis on more local experiences (cooking with foraged ingredients in Taos, for example, or joining a weaving workshop in a Peruvian village). Still there are some common features: a focus on place and on design that doesn’t feel like copy-pasted from what’s trending on social media, and on experiences that engage with the setting.

Some of these properties are bold new flagships from established names, while others are passion projects with fewer than a dozen rooms. These are 18 of the hottest new hotel openings this spring.

We hope you love the new hotels for 2025 we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.

The debut of the Andaz brand in Qatar brings a bold design perspective to Doha’s West Bay. Designed in collaboration with local artists, Andaz Doha is both a luxury hotel and a visual narrative of the region’s heritage — from a lobby inspired by Sadu weaving to suites that feature patterned textiles based on traditional Al Sadu techniques. The 348 accommodations, including Royal Suites and long-stay residences, offer sea or skyline views and spacious bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and separate showers. Cultural cues continue through the hotel’s creative public areas, each themed around a different element of local tradition, such as calligraphy and Bedouin weaving. Three distinctive dining venues anchor the culinary program, including The Salt Road Doha, which explores the historic role of salt in global cuisines, and Mr. & Mrs. Hawker, which is inspired by Singaporean street markets.

The Regent brand marks its return to Indonesia with the opening of Regent Bali Canggu, the first new property in the country since IHG acquired the brand in 2018.

The resort’s low-rise architecture draws from Balinese design traditions, blending with contemporary lines that open onto gardens and courtyards throughout the property. Interiors incorporate natural materials and traditional textures to reflect the island’s cultural heritage. Guests can unwind across nine pools or at the soon-to-open Regent Spa, where treatments will incorporate Balinese wellness traditions and focus on restoration through massage, scrubs, and hydrotherapy. On the culinary side, on-site restaurants include Taru, which serves regional Indonesian dishes, and Sazón, a Spanish tapas spot by chef Andrew Walsh, located just off Batu Bolong.

Guests can explore the surrounding waters by kayak or snorkel above coral reefs, or stay on land for cultural workshops in pottery, weaving, and traditional Okinawan arts. Dining spans four venues, including the cliffside restaurant MAAS, which focuses on fresh fish from nearby waters, and NAGI, a day-to-night space that fuses Italian dishes with Japanese techniques. At Asaya Spa, treatments incorporate Okinawan herbs, sea salt, and martial arts elements.

After a seven-year transformation, Corinthia Bucharest has reopened inside the former Grand Hotel du Boulevard — an 1867 Belle Époque landmark at the intersection of Calea Victoriei and Elisabeta Boulevard in the heart of Romania’s capital. Just steps from the Old Town and major cultural institutions, the property now offers 30 spacious suites with interiors inspired by The Blue Flower, an 1880s poem by Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu. Period details have been carefully preserved: marble staircases, hand-carved wooden doors, and restored statues from the original façade are on display throughout alongside contemporary Romanian art. The hotel’s grand ballroom, now operating as an event venue called Boulevard 73, features a custom Murano glass chandelier and a selection of dishes revived from an 1884 banquet menu once used to celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday — a nod to the British monarch whose influence spanned 19th-century Europe.

Just 500 meters from the ocean, the 195-room property was redesigned by Barcelona-based studio El Equipo Creativo, with interiors that nod to the region’s Moorish heritage through terracotta tiles, geometric patterns, and organic curves. Rooms, many with sea-facing terraces, are outfitted in natural materials and warm Mediterranean tones. Dining is a central focus, with chef José Carlos García overseeing a culinary program that includes Jara, serving contemporary Andalusian cuisine; Escondido, a rooftop venue offering Mexican-inspired fare and an infinity pool; and La Cabane, a beachfront club designed in collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana.

• Location: Spokane, Washington
• Why it’s notable: The first hotel in Spokane to introduce butler service, offering personalized luxury in a historic setting
• Type of traveler who will love this hotel: The culturally curious
• Price: From $246 per night

Spokane’s hotel scene has long been anchored by the historic Davenport Hotel, but just across the street, a new addition offers something more intimate. The Louie, a 48-room boutique hotel that opened in April 2025, reimagines the former Davenport Lusso with a residential feel and a thoughtful nod to the city’s hospitality roots. The building once served as the personal residence of Louis Davenport while he oversaw the construction of his namesake hotel in the early 1900s, and that legacy comes through in the details like archival photographs, pressed flowers, and art books set against a palette of peach, olive, and gold. The result is more gallery-apartment than traditional hotel. Each room is single-king, and the property is the first in Spokane to offer butler service. Guests also have access to amenities at the Davenport Hotel, including the spa and dining venues. The location puts guests within walking distance of Riverfront Park, the Centennial Trail, and Spokane’s winery district.
