The Five Most Fashion-Forward Hotels

Giorgio Armani’s Armani Hotel Milan is found in the chic Quadrilatero della Moda district in Milan. Originally built and designed by Enrico Griffini in the 1930s, all rooms are styled with Armani Casa furnishings. Each of the hotel’s suites reflects the timeless Armani style – elegant, sophisticated and luxuriously comfortable – designed by Giorgio himself. Of an evening, enjoy a meal at the Michelin-star Armani/Ristorante, drawing on classic Italian gastronomic traditions to create sensational culinary experiences for its patrons.

Set atop a cliff 150 metres above sea level, the Bulgari Resort commands stunning views over the Indian Ocean. Live like a king in any one of the resort’s 59 villas, combining traditional Balinese style with Italian design, and each home to its very own private plunge pool. Get your retail therapy fix and explore the collections of accessories, watches and jewels at the Bulgari Boutique – the only Bulgari store in Bali. For those looking for a more authentic souvenir, the resort’s Arts & Crafts Store is dedicated to local crafts, with a selection of fine antiques, Balinese jewellery and ceramic furnishings reflective of the island’s diverse artistic heritage.

Set in the heart of Monte Carlo, Hotel Metropole features spaces designed by none other than Karl Lagerfeld – one of the world’s most recognisable fashion figures. Throughout his career, Lagerfeld has been the creative force behind powerhouse fashion brands including Chanel, Tommy Hilfiger and Fendi, and his design influence to the Hotel Metropole is reflective of his commitment to cutting edge sophistication. Relax in ODYSSEY, Lagerfeld’s outdoor space at Hotel Metropole, home to a “beach area” with sun loungers, a sundeck overlooking the pool and lavishly curated garden spaces to ensure the complete privacy of guests

St Regis New York’s Dior Suite does justice to the hotel chain’s classically sophisticated reputation.

Entertain up to 10 guests in the suite’s spacious dining room, taking in views over Central Park whilst you enjoy your meal.
