The Leading Hotels of the World welcomes six new member hotels to its portfolio of luxury independent hotels. These six hotels include three new hotel openings in Puglia, Italy; Bodrum, Türkiye; and Mexico City, Mexico. The collection also welcomes a family-led winery hotel in Alentejo, Portugal, as well as a former school in Kyoto, Japan, and one of New Delhi’s finest heritage hotels.

Alexander, Mexico City, Mexico

Opened this past April, Alexander features 26 spacious suites adorned with Italian furnishings. The hotel boasts a gym; caviar bar; curated concierge-booked experiences; and Carmela y Sal restaurant, an eatery serving elevated Mexican cuisine.

Masseria Donna Menga, Nardò Lecce, Italy

This restored 16th-century farmhouse has been transformed into a chic and rustic hideaway. With just 24 rooms, Masseria Donna Menga promises an intimate luxury experience, complete with an on-site restaurant, bar and pool.

The Imperial, New Delhi, India

Built in 1963, this private, 8-acre estate features more than 5,000 pieces of 17th– and 18th-century Indo-European art. Elegantly appointed guestrooms and suites, eight dining and drinking options, and immersive experiences await.

Maxx Royal Bodrum Resort, Bodrum, Türkiye

Opened this May, Maxx Royal Bodrum Resort sits on a private peninsula overlooking the Aegean Sea. This 249-key property will soon be home to the first Turkish outpost of Scorpios Beach Club. Seven restaurants with farm-to-table approaches, a 50,000-square-foot spa and more bring this resort to life.

The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu, Kyoto City, Japan

This modernist former 1930s school was transformed into a luxurious hotel. Classrooms have been reimagined as deluxe guestrooms, while the lounge and restaurant occupy the original lecture hall. Another restaurant and bar take over the rooftop.

Quinta do Paral, Vidigueira, Portugal

Quinta do Paral is an organix winery hotel that opened last year, offering views of scenic Vidigueira and 75 acres of gardens, vines and olive groves. With 22 guestrooms and suites spread across the renovated, historic main house and in the newly built guest accommodations, the hotel embraces rural living. Experiences include horseback riding through century-old vines, authentic cooking classes and more.
