Good to know
Upcoming luxury openings, answered
- What new luxury hotels are opening in 2026?
- Among the most anticipated luxury openings of 2026 are Amanvari (Aman's first in the Americas, in Baja California Sur), Danieli, Venezia (Four Seasons' takeover of Venice's storied Danieli palazzo), Mandarin Oriental, Rome, Rosewood Blue Palace in Crete, Singita Elela in Botswana's Okavango Delta, and Six Senses The Palm in Dubai. Fat Voyage tracks each with a first look before opening day.
- Does Fat Voyage score hotels that haven't opened yet?
- No. A hotel earns a Fat Score only once it is open and real guests have stayed and written about it. Upcoming properties on Fat Future carry a first look — what we know, why it matters — but no score. When the doors open and community signal accumulates, the page becomes a full Fat Score verdict at the same address.
- Which luxury hotels are opening in Italy in 2026 and 2027?
- Italy has an unusually deep pipeline: Danieli, Venezia and Mandarin Oriental, Rome and Mandarin Oriental Cristallo in Cortina (2026), followed by Cheval Blanc Pitrizza on the Costa Smeralda, Raffles Lake Como, Capella Florence, Park Hyatt Taormina and Six Senses Milan (2027).
- What is the most anticipated Aman opening?
- Two stand out: Amanvari in Mexico (2026), the brand's first property in the Americas, and Aman Niseko in Hokkaido (2030), Aman's first dedicated ski retreat in Japan, on the slopes of Mount Moiwa.
- What new Four Seasons hotels are opening?
- Two land in 2026: Danieli, Venezia — Four Seasons' takeover of Venice's storied Danieli palazzo on the lagoon, opening with 120 rooms — and The Park Gstaad in the Swiss Alps, reborn for the 2026/27 ski season with interiors by Joseph Dirand. Each carries a Fat Voyage first look before opening day.
- What luxury hotels are opening in Dubai and Saudi Arabia?
- In the Gulf, Six Senses The Palm brings the wellness brand to Dubai's Palm Jumeirah in 2026, while The Oberoi Sukoonvilas opens the same year in Saudi Arabia's Wadi Safar, beside the UNESCO-listed Diriyah, wrapped around a Greg Norman golf course.
- Which luxury hotels are opening in the Maldives?
- Bulgari Resort Ranfushi — the maison's first address in the Maldives — opens on Raa Atoll in 2027, with a private-island Bulgari Villa plus 33 beach and 20 overwater villas.
- What is the most anticipated luxury hotel opening of 2027?
- 2027 is dense: Cheval Blanc Pitrizza on Sardinia's Costa Smeralda (LVMH's first there), Raffles Lake Como (the first Raffles in Italy), Rosewood Calistoga in Napa Valley, and One&Only Antigua, the group's Caribbean debut, all open that year.
