Small Luxury Hotels of the World added new properties to its exclusive portfolio. In Marseille, France, the Hotel Les Bords de Mer boasts19 rooms next door to the Plages des Catalans, a brief stroll from the historic district.

A palette of pastels and natural woods play off of the Cote d’Azur landscape, while amenities include a rooftop pool, Turkish hammam and a full-service spa with therapies featuring products by REN organic skincare.

If Spain is part of your itinerary, the Terra Dominicata in Priorat offers a singularly serene setting. Originally part of a Dominican monastery, the hotel is decorated in soothing earth tones, with original stone walls, terracotta tiles, spacious rooms and minimalist furnishings. The pool offers views of Montsant Natural Park and nearby hiking through rugged paths and the ruins of a monastery in Escaladei. Enjoy wine with dinner, created in the Terra Dominicata winery and housed in the hotel’s vast wine cellar.

Close to home, The Frederick Hotel in New York City is a landmark Gothic Revival building where guests have stayed since 1845.

Amenities include luxurious Frette linens, Five Wits bath products, bathtubs and all-day dining at Serafina, where handmade pasta and signature truffle-topped pizza are menu highlights.
