The Leading Hotels of the World welcomes the addition of seven new members to its collection of more than 375 luxury hotels. Each hotel is rooted in its destination in order to provide travelers an immersive experience into the culture across the world.

Located in the heart of London, England, near Knightsbridge, Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park, the recently refurbished Lanesborough offers guests 93 beautiful rooms and suites. Bedrooms and dining rooms are restored to their original Georgian splendor. Chef Patron Eric Frechon allows guests to experience fine dining in Céleste — which just received its first Michelin star — and afternoon tea, cigars and cognacs in The Garden Room.

The private sanctuary of II Sereno Lago di Como is nestled among the shores of Lake Como, Italy. This ultra-luxurious hotel houses 30 suites and the only 60-foot-long infinity pool, overlooking Lake Como’s beauty. The hotel offers a relaxed and contemporary design to luxury.

Transforming luxury into spontaneous personalization, the Portrait Roma in Rome, Italy, is located minutes away from the city’s Spanish Steps. The hotel offers guests 14 studios and suites to choose from, featuring images of Rome during the 1950s along with drawings, sketches and original Salvatore Ferragamo shoes. The views of the monuments and gardens offer a unique experience for guests, allowing them to build an authentic experience with the city. The Lifestyle Team of the hotel personalizes guests’ experiences to include tours of private palaces, gourmet dinners and artistic masterpieces.

Selected as a National Monument in 1996, The Singular Patagonia in Puerto Natales, Chile, was created from a converted cold storage plant dating from the early 20th century. The hotel overlooks the Fjord of Last Hope Sound with the Andes Mountains providing excellent views for guests. The 57 oversized guestrooms and suites feature many ways to appreciate the beauty from floor-to-ceiling windows. From guided excursions with local experts to locally grown products at the hotel restaurant, The Singular Patagonia further immerses visitors in the destination.

“We are pleased to welcome the seven new members and are excited to embrace their distinct qualities that so effortlessly fit into The Leading Hotels of the World Collection,” said Deniz Omurgonulsen, vice president, membership, The Leading Hotels of the World. “Their uncommon offerings will enhance our guests’ stay, not only at the property, but within their respective destinations.”

Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges in Courchevel, France, lies on the legendary Bellecôte slope and boasts 22 rooms and 20 suites. With easy access to the largest ski area in the world, the hotel perfectly combines adventure and luxury. The hotel offers three different restaurants: the Fouquet’s brasserie, a south-facing terrace restaurant and an interior lounge bar area with a lively atmosphere and daily entertainment. The Spa Diane Barrière welcomes adults to relax and enjoy exclusively designed treatments. The hotel is set to open Dec. 16.

The Fontenay Hamburg is a true reflection of the modern Hamburg, embodying sculpture-like architecture mirroring the Alster lake and parkland. The unique interior boasts a landscaped patio and an 88-foot-high atrium. The 131 rooms and suites all feature not-to-miss lake views. The hotel features an all-day dining restaurant which showcases regional Northern flavors and a gourmet restaurant and bar on the top floor, providing excellent views of the city. The hotel’s exclusive 10,000-square-foot rooftop spa includes a 65-foot indoor and outdoor pool, perfect for ultimate relaxation. The Fontenay is slated to open in summer 2017.
