    Kilkea Castle, Castledermot, Ireland

    Kilkea Castle

    Castledermot, Ireland

    Hotel

    Kilkea Castle is a strong choice for families and mixed-age groups who want an Irish castle stay with a country-estate rhythm rather than a formal, adults-first retreat. Cross-shop Ballyfin for higher ceremony, The K Club for resort energy, Cliff at Lyons for a smaller polished escape.

    Fox Harb’r Resort, Fox Harbour, Canada

    Fox Harb’r Resort

    Fox Harbour, Canada

    Hotel

    Book Fox Harb'r Resort for a special-occasion coastal stay where privacy, space, a resort setting matter more than city access. It is less convincing as a quick overnight base, but stronger for couples, family gatherings, retreats built around staying put.

    The Leela Ambience Gurugram Hotel & Residences

    The Guardsman, London, United Kingdom

    The Guardsman

    London, United Kingdom

    Hotel

    Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Cancun a Tafer Resort, Cancún, Mexico

    Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Cancun a Tafer Resort

    Cancún, Mexico

    Hotel

    AJWA Sultanahmet, Istanbul, Turkey

    AJWA Sultanahmet

    Istanbul, Turkey

    Hotel

    AJWA Sultanahmet is a strong old-city pick if hotel quality matters as much as location. Its 2025 Michelin 1 Key and Preferred Hotels L.V.X. recognition make it a safer bet than many smaller Sultanahmet options, but dining should be treated as a convenient benefit rather than the main reason to book.

    SoHo Hotel Toronto, Toronto, Canada

    SoHo Hotel Toronto

    Toronto, Canada

    Hotel

    SoHo Hotel Toronto is a sensible downtown pick for travellers who want the Entertainment District without choosing a party-first hotel.

    Pendry Park City, Park City, United States

    Pendry Park City

    Park City, United States

    Hotel

    Pendry Park City is a strong Park City choice for a polished special-occasion stay on the Canyons side, especially if you can book through a luxury advisor or preferred-partner channel. The Michelin 1 Key and Preferred Hotels/Virtuoso recognition support the splurge, but travelers who want Main Street convenience or a lower-friction points stay should compare nearby alternatives first.

    Locanda Rossa, Capalbio, Italy

    Locanda Rossa

    Capalbio, Italy

    Hotel

    Rosa Grand Milano - Starhotels Collezione, Milan, Italy

    Rosa Grand Milano - Starhotels Collezione

    Milan, Italy

    Hotel

    Book Rosa Grand Milano - Starhotels Collezione if the priority is a central Milan base with credible hotel recognition and easy booking.

    Amrit Ocean Resort & Residences – Singer Island, Riviera Beach, United States

    Amrit Ocean Resort & Residences – Singer Island

    Riviera Beach, United States

    Hotel

    Majestic Hotel-SPA Champs-Elysées, Paris, France

    Majestic Hotel-SPA Champs-Elysées

    Paris, France

    Hotel

    Book Majestic Hotel-SPA Champs-Elysées if a calm Right Bank base with spa and pool access matters more than palace-hotel theater.

    Edgewood Tahoe, Stateline, United States

    Edgewood Tahoe

    Stateline, United States

    Hotel

    Edgewood Tahoe is the Stateline pick for a polished special-occasion stay, backed by Michelin 1 Key, Forbes 4-Star, La Liste Top Hotels, Virtuoso, Preferred Hotels recognition.

    The Preserve Sporting Club & Resort

    Richmond, United States

    Hotel

    The Preserve Sporting Club & Resort works for a first Rhode Island resort stay built around privacy, outdoor space, on-property time. It is less compelling as a quick base for Newport, beach days, or restaurant-hopping, so compare seasonal rates carefully against coastal peers before committing.

    PGA National Resort, Palm Beach Gardens, United States

    PGA National Resort

    Palm Beach Gardens, United States

    Hotel

    Book PGA National Resort if you want a Palm Beach Gardens resort base rather than a beach-first Palm Beach hotel.

    Overview

    The 2025 L.V.X. Collection features 15 properties across 9 countries, spanning from Capalbio, Italy to Cancun, Mexico. This edition represents a complete refresh; zero hotels carried over from 2024, when 337 properties dropped out. The list now focuses on a tighter selection led by Locanda Rossa in Italy's Tuscan Maremma, followed by Pendry Park City and AJWA Sultanahmet in Istanbul.

    The 2025 edition marks a dramatic shift in the L.V.X. Collection's approach. Instead of the 337 properties from 2024, the list now includes just 15 hotels across 9 countries and 15 cities. Every single property is new; the previous leader, Sea Cliff Resort & Spa Zanzibar, dropped out along with the entire 2024 roster. The geographic spread now includes Italy, the United States (Park City and Riviera Beach), Turkey, Canada (Richmond and Toronto), India, the United Kingdom, France, Mexico. The collection balances European heritage properties like The Guardsman in London and Majestic Hotel-SPA Champs-Elysées in Paris with North American resort destinations and emerging luxury markets in India and Turkey.

    This reflects the 2025 edition of the L.V.X. Collection, showing the current 15-property selection and complete turnover from the 2024 roster.

    The L.V.X. Collection downsized drastically in 2025, dropping from 337 hotels to just 15. None of last year's properties made the cut; including former top-ranker Sea Cliff Resort & Spa Zanzibar; making this a complete reset. The new list spans 9 countries with Locanda Rossa in Capalbio leading, followed by Pendry Park City and AJWA Sultanahmet. You'll find a mix of European city hotels (London, Paris), North American ski and beach resorts, properties in India, Turkey, Mexico. The drastically smaller selection suggests a shift toward extreme curation rather than the broad portfolio approach of previous years.

    About This Edition

    This edition represents the most dramatic year-over-year change in the L.V.X. Collection's recent history. The list contracted by 95%, going from 337 properties to 15, with zero carryover. The 2024 leader, Sea Cliff Resort & Spa Zanzibar, is gone, along with properties like andBeyond Phinda Homestead and Hacienda Del Sol Guest Ranch Resort. The new lineup spreads across 15 cities in 9 countries, with no city appearing twice. The geographic distribution leans North American and European: two Canadian properties (The Preserve Sporting Club & Resort in Richmond and SoHo Hotel Toronto), two U.S. entries (Pendry Park City and Amrit Ocean Resort in Riviera Beach), and European selections in London, Paris, Istanbul. Italy's Locanda Rossa leads the collection from the relatively under-the-radar Capalbio area. The list also includes The Leela Ambience Gurugram in India, Garza Blanca Resort & Spa in Cancun, AJWA Sultanahmet in Istanbul's historic district. The dramatic reduction suggests either a fundamental repositioning of what L.V.X. Collection represents or a list still being rebuilt after a reset. For travelers, this smaller selection makes the collection easier to navigate but raises questions about selection criteria when an entire year's worth of properties gets replaced.
