One of eight vibes
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
5 hotels
They did this well. You’ll notice.
Canopy by Hilton Cancun La Isla
Root-like ceiling latticework and a woven fibre chandelier casting dappled lobby light.
SHA Mexico
Alejandro Escudero shapes warm minimalist interiors using woven wicker, local textiles, and marble.
SLS Cancun
Piero Lissoni paired mid-century Italian furnishings with Maya-inspired wall coverings, light oak woodwork, and travertine bathrooms.
SLS Playa Mujeres
Piero Lissoni planned the grounds with modern pavilions and winding swim-out canal pools.
Gold. Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Silver. Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
Bronze. They did this well. You’ll notice.
Listed. A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
Design. Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe. Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local. It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Heritage. A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness. You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic. The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort. A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
