We're kicking off our travel plans for 2017 with a look at our favorite new hotels that have opened recently around the world. We like what we're seeing: global openings that are making a real splash. They include a formerly abandoned New York City landmark that's been restored to its original glory, a big-time luxury hotel built around an 800-year-old garden in Kyoto, and a collection of secluded water villas springing up in the Maldives.
Bookmark the 24 best new recent hotel openings and start plotting a year of great adventures.

A chic nature compound perfect for group getaways. Incredible activities in the heart of the Nicaraguan forest; a gorgeous pool for post-excursion relaxation.
A well located, easygoing boutique hotel in the Central Business District with a fun rooftop bar, a terrific lounge, and ridiculously comfortable beds.
When Arlo Hudson Square opened in September, we thought it was too good to be true: an NYC hotel with great design, location, and vibe and a reasonable price tag. Then they delivered a second design-within-reach helping two months later in the rejuvenated Flatiron District.
A touch of L.A. cool in a not-so-cool stretch of lower midtown. The rooms are colorful, the bars lend a party vibe, and the pizza at Marta is terrific.
Southern hospitality delivered right along with your local coffee and pastries. There are six rooms (each named after a president from the South), a manicured lawn, and plans for suites in the adjacent carriage house.
The latest from Mercer Hotels has much in common with its Barcelona sister: a restored structure (in this case a 19th-century palace); a central, picturesque, and historic location; an intimate scale (only 12 elegant rooms and suites); an amazing breakfast; a relaxing rooftop pool; and a dazzling, light-infused atrium.
We make every effort to ensure the information in our articles is accurate at the time of publication. But the world moves fast, and even we double-check important details before hitting the road.
