There are hotels and then there are cultural destinations, places where guests become part of the local ecosystem, properties that truly push the boundaries of what hospitality means today.

These eight Design Hotels members and their Originals especially exemplify such visions becoming realities around the world, from Mediterranean and Jamaican shores to serene countryside villages.
