  • Local Craftsmanship
  • Remote Setting

“Radical architecture on the North Atlantic, built around the survival and creativity of an island community.”

Fogo Island Inn is one of those rare hotels where the building, the landscape and the reason it exists are equally interesting. Designed by Newfoundland-born architect Todd Saunders, its dramatic white structure rises above the rocky North Atlantic coast while drawing on the forms and construction traditions of Newfoundland’s fishing communities. The inn was created by the Shorefast Foundation as a social enterprise, with hospitality, local craftsmanship and economic development working together to support life on this remarkably remote island.

Sowaka

Hotel

Asia, Japan

From $1,050

Sowaka is a 23-room luxury hotel in Gion, Kyoto’s historic geisha district, a two-minute walk from Yasaka Shrine. Its main building is a restored ryotei from the Taisho era, built in the sukiya style and more than a century old, joined by a modern annex added in 2019. The renovation kept the decorated ceilings and windows, patterned timber, clay walls and sliding paper screens, while each room is individually designed, some with tatami and garden views. Dining centers on seasonal kaiseki-inspired cooking at Gion Loka, and the hotel also has a bar and a courtyard garden lounge. The name comes from a Sanskrit word meaning “may happiness be with you.”
