One of eight vibes
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
1 hotel
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
4 hotels
They did this well. You’ll notice.
Miniloc, El Nido
Stilted overwater cottages and cliffside bungalows built from native bamboo and cogon thatch.
Pangulasian
Stilted canopy villas set fifty feet above the forest floor with cogon-thatched roofs.
Piece Lio
Japanese minimalism meets raw concrete and polished native timber around a courtyard.
The Funny Lion
Raw concrete corridors meet rippling bamboo screens and earth-toned safari lodge interiors.
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.
